Hey guys. I got this idea after watching some re-runs of CSI: Miami. Yes, I understand Speedle died at the scene, but i thought I'd change his death around a little. In this Fanfic he's been dating Logan Caine, Horatio's sister and colleague. I wrote this as a oneshot but am considering writing a follow up story of Logan finding herself in New York. It depends on how this one goes so review PLEASEEE!! Thank you!!

The rain dropped harder, and faster as she sped down the highway to get to the hospital. Something she normally wouldn't do when it rained, due to hydroplaning, but she didn't care. Her main goal was to get to the hospital before it was to late to say goodbye. No one was on the bridge, causing her to go 60 on a 35 mph bridge, flicking the lights on the top of her vehicle so she wouldn't be pulled over.

She sped into the parking lot of the emergency room and screeched to a halt in front of the doors. As the tires screeched, a bolt of lightening flashed before her eyes. She jumped out of the car, leaving the lights still flashing, and ran into the lobby. Horatio, Calleigh, and Eric were already there, sitting in the waiting room. Horatio's hands were wiped clear of any sign of Speedle's blood, while her hands, still had his blood, her white shirt stained with the memory of her lover's death.

She looked at Eric who sat with his head in his hands, and then she watched Calleigh wipe away a streak of tears running from right side of her cheek. Horatio was the only one brave enough to stand. He looked at her and shook his head, an indication of the surreal moment. Proof that this wasn't just a bad nightmare. It was a shootout and they lost. She lost, and Tim lost.

As she watched him shake his head, she immediately dropped to the floor. Horatio caught her, and held her as she cried, letting out the tears of pain that had possessed her. He knew the pain she was feeling. He had felt it before, when Ray died. He knew it was probably worse for her though, because she had already lost Ray, and now she was going to lose Tim.

"Logan." H finally spoke. He pushed her blonde hair out of her face, and wiped away a few tears, just before she began to fill her eyes with more tears. "Let's go say goodbye."

"Okay." She sobbed. "Yeah." She stood up and followed H as he walked through a hall.

They reached a room and H let Logan walk in first. He watched as she sat next to his bed. His eyes were closed, and his chest moved, but only because he was on an incubator. She knew that as soon as he was removed from the incubator, he would be dead. She took his hand in hers, and used her other hand to touch his face. "I love you too." She whispered, as she remembered the last few words he would ever speak to her.

"Logan…" He gasped, as his body lay helpless on the floor of the jewelry store. H was holding him, and wiping his mouth as he choked on his own blood, and Logan applied pressure to his chest, trying to stop the bleeding. "Baby, I love you." He said.

"No." She shook her head. "Tim, don't do this." She begged. "Tim you're not gonna die."

"I don't care. I still do." She didn't say anything back, just looked at him as he started to go. "It's okay. Baby, it's okay. Move on. I'll still love you."

"Speed…" Both H and Logan said in unison as his body-stopped spazzing, and he loosened the grip on Horatio's hand.

"Oh my God." Logan said, choking on her tears. "Horatio, he's gone. Tim's gone."

"I know, Logan." He said as he checked Speed's pulse. "I know."

"Logan…" Horatio said. He had been watching Logan cry for about 3 minutes. "How long have you been dating Tim for?" He asked her one more.

"I don't know." She said. "Almost a year."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because." She said, not tearing her eyes from Speed's, "He was scared of what you would think." She managed to stop crying for a little while as she squeezed his hand. "He looks up to you…looked."

"Calleigh says his gun malfunctioned." He said, sitting next to her.

She let out a chuckle. Not because it was funny, but because she knew that it was true. "I told him to clean it, Horatio. I told him last night he needed to clean it, but he wouldn't listen to me." She finally looked at Horatio. "I'm going to miss him so much."

"We all are." H said, hugging her. "But we'll know that he went down with people all around him that loved him. Because we all did."

"I should have said it though. I should have told him I never told him."

"It's okay. He knew you did. You did, Logan."

"I did…" She whispered.

"Excuse me." The doctor came in and Logan nodded her head.

"We're ready." She said.

"Okay." The doctor said. "There's no telling how long he'll last. It could be hours, or it could be minutes."

Logan nodded her head. "I'll leave you alone okay?" Horatio asked before leaving the room.

"Are you ready Detective Caine?" Logan nodded her head, and watched as the doctor pulled the plug.

His chest rose and then fell slowly for the last time as he began breathing on his own once more. Then it started to rise faster and faster, grabbing all of the oxygen he could gather. He breathed for twenty-two minutes and twelve seconds on his own, until he finally gave up. For those twenty-two minutes and twelve seconds, she didn't let go of his hand, and she managed two kisses to his cheek, and one on his forehead as she said her last "I love you."

Logan Caine stepped foot back into the lobby and everyone stood as she entered. Ryan, Alexx, and Frank had come to the hospital and were now waiting along with Horatio, Calleigh and Eric. She approached them and looked at her feet. "He held on for twenty-two minutes. 12 seconds." She said. "Doctors say you can take him now, Alexx."

"Thanks sweetie." Alexx said.

"I'll help you." Ryan said and followed Alexx.

"Logan, we're gonna do everything to find the gunmen." Frank said.

She nodded her head. "Horatio, I want to talk to you alone."

"Okay." Horatio said. "Let's walk." He set his arm around his sister's shoulder and they headed outside.

"I'm going to head back up to New York." She said to him. "I can't be here anymore. Horatio, I don't want to do this anymore. After Timmy's funeral I'm leaving."

"Logan you can't." Horatio said. "We need you here."

"And I need Tim." She said, stopping to look at Horatio. "We don't always get everything we want or need."

"You're my sister, Logan. I lost my brother, I'm not going to lose you too."

"I lost my brother too, Horatio, and someone I wanted to spend the rest of my life with."

"Be grateful he got to spend the rest of his with you." Horatio said. "Make the best of the memories."

"I will." Logan said. "In New York."

"Okay." Horatio said, he wasn't going to argue with her. "When will you leave?"

"I'm not sure yet. I hate goodbyes. That's why I'm telling you ahead of time. And consider it my two weeks notice."

"I'll miss you."

"I know you will. But I'll visit. I just can't live here anymore."

"I understand." He said. "I love you Logan."

"I know." It seemed She was having trouble saying "I love you." To anyone now. She couldn't grasp losing Speed, just as she couldn't grasp the concept of loving someone. She had thought she knew the concept of death. That's why she became a CSI. But she was wrong. She didn't understand why people went the way they did, or even why they went at all.
