Chapter 1: Starting Something
"Thanks for not leaving me all to myself."
"I just want you to be happy."
"I think I will be for a while now," she grinned kissing his cheek.
Natalia had slowly started to wake up. She remembered Ryan coming to her place last night. She wasn't so sure if he stayed, but that thought soon changed when she smelt bacon. Natalia stretched and got up out of her bed, she was only wearing a tank top and short shorts.
Once she made it out of her bedroom, she walked to the kitchen.
"You stayed," Natalia smiled, causing Ryan to turn around.
"Just in case you needed me I would be there. You slept well, I didn't hear screaming or anything. Check on you every hour. I never went to sleep."
"Thanks for that Ryan. But you didn't have to."
"I wasn't really tired anyways, and I care about you."
"Thanks," Natalia nodded. "So bacon huh?"
"Your favorite breakfast food, quick and greasy," Ryan told her.
"You remembered when I said that?"
"Of course," he grinned. "Three weeks ago, I walked into break room and you were eating bacon."
"Oh," she smirked.
"Well your bacon in done."
"Thanks," she nods, as Ryan hands her a plate with bacon. "I'll see you later then Ryan."
"Why?"
"Because you have to go home and changed, they'll notice you are wearing the same clothes as yesterday."
"They were probably all worried about you to notice."
"I'll see you in an hour Ryan," she smiled, as she ate some bacon.
"Fine, fine, I'll go," he laughed, kissing her cheek and slowly left her house.

An hour later Ryan arrived at the lab. He wasn't even at the lab yet when Horatio rushed outside.
"Wolfe, your coming with me."
Ryan nods and they got in Horatio's hummer, and headed to a crime scene.
Ryan squatted down next to the body. "She's looks around mid thirties, gun shot to the head."
He looks for the woman's ID, and found it in her pocket. "Her name is Rachel Blanche. She's wearing a badge and has a gun," he places the objects in an evidence bag.
"No bullet found."
"There are drag marks heading from across the street."
Horatio nods and follows Ryan across the street and into an alley.
"Looks like she was shot here."
"Then why not hide her in the dumpster."
"I don't know but let's hope he wasn't wearing any gloves and left something behind," Ryan nodded and they started with the initial crime scene.

Natalia had arrived to the lab, and tried to find Ryan. Instead she found Calleigh in the A/V lab.
"Hey Calleigh. Have you seen Ryan anywhere?"
"He hasn't come in yet. Should have been here twenty minutes ago."
"Okay," Natalia nods, taking out her cell phone, dialing his number. She frowns when he doesn't pick up. She placed the phone back in her pocket.
"Something wrong?" her friend asked.
"Yeah, just thought he would be here by now."
"Well, Horatio recieved a phone call and left the lab, maybe he ran into Ryan and made him tag along."
"Maybe," she rubs her neck.
"So you doing better Talia, yesterday had been hard for you."
"Yeah, I'm doing better now."
"Good," she nods.

"Looks like we're done here Horatio," Ryan nods, bagging more evidence. Horatio nods and they head back to the lab.
"You made sure Natalia got home safe last night."
"Yeah, it made her feel better. She called me this morning to say she was fine."
"And you didn't tell her about the shooting?"
"No, but it was hard, she was sad and she said she felt hopeless."
"Well I'm glad she's doing good now."
"Me too," Ryan nods, and the rest of the ride to the lab was spent in silence.
"I'll go give the gun and bullet to call so she can do ballistics, maybe the killer used her gun.
"I'll go check on the body in autopsy," Horatio nods, and they went different ways.
Ryan found Calleigh talking to Natalia.
"Hey ladies, Calleigh I have a task for you."
"Yeah," she asked, turning around in her chair.
"Can you match the bullet to this gun?"
"I can try," she grinned, and took the two evidence bags from his hand, leaving Natalia and Ryan in the room alone.
"I called you, was worried when you didn't pick up."
"I'm okay, but we have a task to take care of, we have to find more about our vic Rachel Blanche."
Okay, this story is getting underway don't you think, hope you guys are looking forward to more, because i'll be happy to write more for you. and don't worry we're getting RaiN throughout the crime there trying to figure out.
