20 minutes earlier: Calleigh (Emily Procter) agrees to meet Delko (Adam Rodriguez) for coffee and then follows him. See there's hardly any trust demonstrated between them. Calleigh freaks out, he's been lying to her and Delko's still working for Asa Rebecca Nevins (Christina Chang). Calleigh demands the truth. He admits he's working on the theft from the lock-up, only cos he was placed on the spot; and half a million dollars worth of heroin is missing. Delko tells Horatio (David Caruso) this is Sully's (Brad Leland) past case. Horatio suspects the bomb could have been for Delko. No one else knows what Delko was working on. Horatio: "She was our friend, let's not forget it." Horatio did have a relationship with her of sorts and as we know, anyone who has a relationship in this show has got to be killed off, or be a suspect. Delko only told Sully about it and no one else.

They did a u-turn and doubled back, Ryan (Jonathan Togo) suggests they rode onto something. Calleigh (Emily Procter) can't find anything wrong with the SUV. Jesse (Eddie Cibrian) says it was used to block the road and it's been stripped of the Vin number. Jesse asks if Calleigh's okay after she sees Jake (Johnny Whitworth) in the crowd. Jesse notices the Vin plate on the ground. Calleigh wasn't looking for it. No she was too busy wondering what Jake was doing there. Well he could only have been undercover, yet he appeared to be a suspect the way he vanished.
