Every day in the office for Ryan was pretty much the same, no one really cared but hell with it other than not having any friends there he really loved his job. He liked to help people and catch the bad guys. It was like being a superhero except without all the fame and super powers. He didn't care about fame really as long as lives were saved that's all he really cared. The current case was terrible, there was little evidence to go on but there was fabric with blood on it so he was working off of that."HA! I GOT IT!" Ryan exclaimed after hours of looking over the samples, "What did you get a brain?" Calleigh said sarcastically. "Okay first off that I already have and second I have found another blood sample other than the one from our victims." Calleigh smiled and said good work and from that they continued to work on finding the killer. It was a long day but they caught him and gladly Ryan had gotten the day off thanks to Horatio for finding that blood sample.

Ryan went to the locker room and gotten his stuff. "Good job Wolfe on finding that blood sample." Eric said with a smile on his face. "Thanks Eric" Ryan had a shy smile on his face. Eric never told him good job so this is quite surprising. "Ummm Hey Ryan" Eric seemed nervous, a lot like some teen asking the girl he's in love with out. "Yea Eric," wait back up did Eric just call him by his first name….FIRST NAME?!?!?! Snapping back to reality. "I was just wondering if-"their conversation was cut off by the ringing of Ryan's phone. "Gah! Is it okay if I-""OH sure go ahead it's probably important"
Ryan answered his phone and sounded really happy about it too. It was a short conversation but it ended up with Ryan agreeing to something. "So who was it?" Eric asked nervous. "It was a buddy of mine I haven't seen her in 3 months! She wanted to grab a cup of coffee with me tomorrow." "Oh..." Eric's eyes went to the floor then back up at Ryan. "I was kinda wondering if you and I could have coffee tomorrow...well after work that is...well how about we have it today, I have nothing better to do." "Sure I have nothing to do anyway...oh but can we stop by the art supply store afterwards, Cerise will have my head if I forget her charcoal again." Ryan then sighed to himself
He remembers what happened last time Cerise had a project that involved charcoal and Ryan forgot to buy it. She ended up freaking out and getting all paranoid and dragged Ryan with her to get it. Ryan then shook his head that was not happening again! "Cerise?" Eric questioned. "Yea she's the one who just called, she's an artist and has a project to do and yadda yadda yadda, you have to meet her sometime." Ryan said with a smile and Eric just nodded yes.

The two went down the block the coffee shop; they were having a real good time. They don't get to talk much during work and after hours they just go home. "So what possessed you to treat me to a trip to starbucks?" Ryan asked curiously. "Well I just wanted someone to hang out with today." Eric said shyly. "You sure it wasn't because I found that blood?" Ryan said thinking he was slick all of a sudden. "Like I said I just wanted to hang out with someone today, so uhhh tell me about Cerise." Ryan shrugged and he started talking about his pal.

He and Cerise have been friends since freshmen year. She is an artist and sometimes flies from Miami to New York for galleries and what not. She's eccentric but hell she's Ryan's best buddy. "She sounds like a nice person." Eric said before taking a sip of coffee. "She's nice but crazy I mean she will go out looking like a rainbow just threw up on her! Telling you man she's a wacko."

"And who are YOU calling a Wacko now?" A voice behind him said, somewhat irritated. Ryan almost choked on his coffee and Eric looked up to see who it was. It was a woman, she looked pretty young. She had short brown hair with a blue streak in it, looked dyed. She was pretty short, had black thick rimmed glasses, and was wearing a black batman tank top with dark skinny jeans, combat boots, arm warmers and a choker. "Come on now Wolfie tell me who is the wack job." "Who's that?" Eric asked. "Eric meet Cerise." Ryan said knowing that he is going to get wacked on the head by his best friend, in which he did.

"Well Ryan it's nice to know that you're talking about all the good points of my personality, and nice to know that you are able to make friends as well". Cerise snapped. "Why are you even here?" Ryan whined. "Uh duh this was our coffee spot when you were patrol remember?" The Brunette reminded him. "Besides you're taking to long on my charcoal anywho so im just gunna get it myself and go home, I wanna get settled in, by the way who's that?" The artisan said pointing to Ryan's co-worker. "Cerise this is one of my co-workers."

"He's Horatio?"

"Uh no actually im Eric." the Cuban introduced himself, extending his hand.

"Ah you're Eric." Cerise smiled shaking Eric's hand.
