The Ryan Wolfe Chronicles
Chapter 1 Introduction
(Ryan's POV)
I got up and walked into my kitchen, where my neighbor from across the street, Natalia Boa Vista was brewing a pot of coffee.
"Morning Ryan! I found the key under the mat, so I decided to surprise you with breakfast, hope you don't mind," smiled Natalia, leaning in to give me a hug.
"'Talia, please don't hug me yet, I need to use the bathroom," I said, kissing my neighbor on the cheek. I went into the bathroom. When I came out, a fresh plate of pancakes, with eggs and bacon was on the table with a nice cup of coffee, just the way I liked it. My cell phone rang as I took a bite of the pancakes. I looked at my phone and it read 'Horatio Caine', He was mine and Natalia's boss at work.
I answered my phone.
"Hey H, what's up man?" I ask.
"Hey Ryan, I need you and Natalia in an hour. There was a murder down the street from my house and Calleigh isn't back from vacation with her family yet," said Horatio.
Me: Ok, what about Eric, Jesse, or Walter?
Horatio: Eric's sick and Jesse's already here with me. Today is Walter's off day.
Me: It's my off day too H!
Horatio: Mr. Wolfe, don't question me, just get your butt down here ASAP!
Me: I wasn't questioning you!
*the line goes dead*
(Normal POV)
Ryan Wolfe sighed and closed his phone.
"Talia, we have to go into work today," he said, eating some of his pancakes then taking a sip of his coffee. Natalia sat down beside him at the table and started to eat off of Ryan's plate. Ryan smiled.
"I know, I had the same argument with Frank about an hour ago. I told him I was driving you to work today," replied Natalia, taking a sip from her coffee.
"I don't have time for a long shower. But I'll take a really short one," said Ryan. He ate his bacon and eggs. "You can finish off my pancakes, I'll eat the leftovers later if I have time." He ran upstairs and hopped in the shower. When he finished he dried off, got dressed, and went downstairs to slip on his shoes, and finish his coffee and pancakes. When he finished. He brushed his teeth then grabbed his phone and wallet and badge.
"Natalia! Babe! Ready to go?!" he called. Natalia had gone across the street to grab her car keys.
"Yeah! Just making sure the door is locked and all!" Natalia called back.
They arrived to the crime scene about 10 minutes late and Jesse was already dusting for prints. Ryan signed in and Natalia signed in after him. They had stopped by the lab to get their guns.
"We got a DB, female, age 23, name is Jennifer Bradley. She was killed in a hit and run murder this morning. Tom said her liver temperature was 80 degrees, which means she was killed no less than 24 hours ago. It's about time you're here Wolfe!" exclaimed Jesse.
"What the heck did I do? I'm sorry if I'm late, Natalia had to run across the street to feed her cat Mr. Snuffles!" replied Ryan, his voice icy.
"Well whoopee," said Jesse, in a sarcastic tone.
"What is your problem?" asked Ryan.
"You! You've been late for the past week! What is wrong with that picture? Of the problem with that picture is that Horatio's been down our backs all week because Calleigh's been out of town. Ryan I haven't had an off day in 3 weeks, I've been at work today for 2 hours and haven't had a chance to just chill in the break room. I have had ONE bathroom break!" exclaimed Jesse.
"Dude if you have to pee go, I'll take over for you," said Ryan. "I'm sorry." Jesse smiled a relieved smile.
"Thanks man, I was this close to running across the street to that Quiznos," said Jesse. He ran across the street anyway after stripping off his gloves. Natalia grinned and started looking for evidence. Horatio came over.
"Mr. Wolfe, glad to see you're finally here," said the red haired man wearing sunglasses.
"Sorry H, I was kind of in a bind with Natalia. We had to feed her cat Mr. Snuffles," said Ryan.
"I know," said Horatio, he smiled. "Ryan, don't make this a habit ok?"
"Ok," said Ryan.
"OH MY GOSH CALLEIGH!" exclaimed Natalia, hugging her blonde friend. "I thought you were still in Hawaii you blonde liar!"
"I was. Haha. Horatio called me and said he needed me back. So I took an early flight home this morning. Hey Horatio!" exclaimed Calleigh, seeing her boss. She planted a kiss on his cheek and hugged him. He was like a father to her. Shots rang out from the Quiznos across the street.
"H! Officer down! Jesse's been shot!" yelled Ryan, running across the street to see Jesse down on the ground, passed out. He had gotten shot in the chest.
Will Jesse be okay?
