RYAN'S Secret.
The morning Ryan Wolfe walked into Miami Dade Crime Lab, he had woken up with the strangest feeling in his stomach. He never felt this way on the day of a job interview and had narrowed it down to nerves. This interview was different. It was for the job he had always wanted. The feeling had disappeared by the time he had left his apartment but had returned son after he had arrived at the lab.
While waiting for Lt. Horatio Caine he was met with the stares from 5 pairs of eyes. Luckily he didn't have to wait any longer for Lt. Caine and when he came into view th people looked away.
Moments later he was given the job.
That night when he was wolking to his car he met Calleigh Duquesne, a beautiful blond CSI with a strong southern accent who Ryan knew because he was mostly responsible for clearing her father's name that day.
She complimented him and thanked him for the millionth time and asked him if he would like to go for drinks with her and the others but he declined. She started to walk away but turned back. "Listen, Ryan, everone needs a support system here. Word of advice, you wanna survive, get yours early on in the game." She smiled at him and left and it was then he realised why they were staring at him. They didn't want him to be drawn in to the violence and hurt involved in the job.
And that one piece of advice stuck with him.
Ryan Wolfe looked down at the paper work, reports and crime-scene photographs of the last case.
He had arrived at the crime scene with Eric Delko. As he got ready to help Yelina Salas question witnesses, he over heard Horatio telling Delko to be careful as there was blood everywhere. Ryan caught a glimpse inside. He was right. The place was a slaughter house. It made him sick.
Ryan and Yelina had questioned all the suspects within an hour and a half an was at a dead end. He was going over evidence with Horatio when hecame to the father's clothes. He had been called from work and went straight to the crime lab. Ryan noticed a red blotch near his sleeve and tested it for blood. Positive. He ran it and it was his baby daughter's. Ryan felt sick again. He tested the shirt for GSR and it was positive too. Case closed. The father did it.
And here he was, in his own. It took him half an hour to file everything. When he was done he grabbed his jacket and left the lab.
Outside he ran into (literally) Calliegh Duquesne who was with Horatio and Alexx Woods.
" Whoa, hey Ryan.." she said laughing. He blushed. "We're heading to the bar to let off some steam. Wanna come?"
" I'd love to but I-ah, I've mad plans son... I'll see you tomorrow." And with that he ran to his car before they could say bye.
" That's one strange boy," Alexx said and the group went in the direction of the bar.
Ryan made his way to his apartment. When He reached it, he stepped inside and found the of the very few people he really, truly cared about. After his sister-in-law, Haley, left he picked up the sleeping child and carried her into her bedroom. She stirred slightly. He brushed the hair out of her face and hoped into the bed next to her, wrapping his arms around her. She woke up fully.
" Daddy??" she asked sleepily.
" I'm here, baby, I'm here and I'm not going anywhere!" He knew what Calleigh had said was right and that Ryan would always have his daughter as she would always have him...
