Category: Original

Genres: Real/Cross-over/Romance/Drama.

Warning: NCC, OOC, all the data, scenario belongs to me. Don't judge me if I write something that out of the ordinary. Sorry to all the Wolfe and Boa Vista fans, I love this couple but they are just not meant to be in this fic. (another one in the future maybe…)

Rating: T (For safety matters)

Author's note: I know people enjoy RyNat so much but I got tired of them since they're just running around and not making any remarkable process. So I put a new girl for Wolfe. Both of them moved on from season 4. They are good friends now. I love Nat. I think in the end I find some guy for her. NY guys maybe. I love 2 series so much that they just have to go with each other in my stories.

It was midnight.

Ryan Wolfe was sleeping tight when he heard his doorbell rang. It rang crazily.

"C'on! People need sleep at night!" He shouted, crawling up, finding his slippers. This was the very first night that he got to sleep from four day working continuously.

"Who the hell are you?" Ryan shouted, and then opened his door without looking who it was. "I am human. Humans do things like eating and sleeping, y'know!"

"Of course you are. But can you just act like whatever-you-like-to-call for only a week?" a soft and gentle voice spoke to Ryan. Hidden inside it is the strong command that woke Ryan from his sleepy state.

"Oh! Horatio!" God Ryan! You just yelled at your boss. "Come in."

"Thanks"

Horatio sit in his couch, remained silence for a while. Ryan didn't know what to say so he just went to the kitchen to make some tea for him. What was wrong with him? Ryan had never saw him with such a depressed expression on his face. This must be something serious. The very last time he got that expression was when he found out Kyle was his son. Could this be something related to his family? Oh Gosh! H, just talk! Your silence really scares me!

"Here you go, H!" Ryan put a cup of hot tea in front of his guest. "Just talk to me whenever you want to."

"Yes, I guess. Thanks for the tea." Horatio gave Ryan a weak smile.

"No problem." Ryan shrugged.

"Can I ask you a favor?" The old CSI asked.

"Of course, H. Anytime you want." Ryan spoke immediately, wondering what kind of 'favor' since Horatio sounds both nervous and serious. "We're family!"

"I need you to go to New York tomorrow."

"What do you need me to do there?" New York? No way, H! I'm not leaving Miami! And you know I had a crazy dad that lives in NY now! He's the reason why I moved to Miami.

"It's a 'Yes' or 'No', Ryan? Your face doesn't look like you want to."

Wow, he called him by his name. This must be very serious.

"Frankly, I don't want to go." Ryan told him the truth. "But you saved me many times, boss. I just can't ignore this request. I'll go anyway."

"Good! Because I need you to check on my little sister. I mean little. She's younger than you."

"Wow! That's surprised. You've never told any of us this before."

"I know. She's so stubborn. She said everything will be alright but nothing will be." Horatio had a slip of the tea.

"What is the situation you are talking about H?" Ryan got confused. He never saw Horatio so emotional like this.

Horatio stopped. He looked at Ryan in the eyes. Ryan realized his eyes were full of sorrow. He must love this sister so much. What kind of girl is she? Horatio seemed hesitate. Maybe he asked the wrong guy? Maybe Ryan just wasn't right for this? These thoughts gave Ryan a pretty bad effect. He knew he's not perfect, but Horatio decided to come here himself, he just had to continue his story or Ryan will never get him.

"H, you can trust me." Ryan started after a long dead silence. "I know I am not like Delko or Tripp but…"

"No, I don't trust my sister." Horatio stopped him. "She's also a CSI, Ryan. She knows too much. She can handle a case alone. She does from ballistics to DNA. She knows everything. And this 'everything' is driving her mad. You know what I'm saying?"

"Urg… Not really… You mean she is depressed?" Wow, Horatio's female version!

"Well, kind of. I just need you to pull her out of that mess for a couple of days. It's her birthday next month and like you said before 'Human do things like eating and sleeping'. I want her to slow down, to enjoy her life. I don't want her to bury herself in work just like I did when I was her age."

"You regret?"

"Kind of."

"Then why me? Why don't you just go and… talk to her yourself."

"You deserve a vacation, Mr. Wolfe. You need to be human for a few days. And, I think you can do it better than me."

"I'll tell her to call you." Ryan said quietly.

That was the reason why Ryan had this trip to New York City. What a long time. So many things have changed. Looking at New York, he realized that he almost forget everything about this city. He loved Miami better. Pulling his luggage out of the airport, he picked a cab and got to the hotel that Horatio booked for him online. That was the part he didn't know about this trip. He almost fainted when he saw the room. It was just… deluxe!

"Oh boss! Is your sister so important to you that you can blow all of your savings on her or you just booked the wrong room?"

Ryan lied down to the bed, rested for a few minutes. He was still tired about the flight. NYC girls were just… beyond his memories. Life changed. They changed. He wondered who was Horatio's sister like. He still cannot get the image of his boss' female version. Damn! He should check his email now. Horatio told him that he would send an image of his sister for him when he landed in New York.

Ryan clicked the button to download the attachment from his mail. Then he opened the file.

"Oh! Damn! You! God!"

Ryan stared at the picture for a few second. He wondered if H sent him the right image. Seemed like his boss knew what he would think, H noted that 'This is the right picture. I checked 3 times.' This made Ryan laugh slightly. This girl is so beautiful and she has nothing like Horatio. Her hair is back, not blond. Her eyes are also black, not blue. She looks like a doll to Ryan.

This is her profile:

Name: Elizabeth Caine (But call her Ellie, she hates the name Elizabeth, it sounds… old! Wow, this cannot be H female version).

Age: 27 (Wow, 27 years younger than H and 5 years younger than Ryan.)

Job: CSI, dayshift supervisor assistant (Wow, she is too young to get to the position. It's the same rank as Calleigh.)

Characteristics: You need to find out yourself Wolfe. I can't help you with this. (Wow, Horatio, you just left the most important part.)

Four categories, four 'Wows'.

What the hell? Ryan started to think that this holiday would be his very last holiday he accepted from his boss.

Lunchtime.

Ryan was dancing tango in front of the New York Police Department for a few hours. He didn't know where to start. He's never met this girl before but according to what he knew about Horatio and his son, Kyle, he could conclude that this girl is extremely hard to handle. Her eyes also told him that, indirectly. It was lunchtime. Everyone went out to grab some lunch. The police department was noisy, Ryan can see the criminals shouting, screaming inside.

"How long will you plan to wander round here?" A voice raised up that startled Ryan.

He turned around. A tall guy with a serious face was looking at him. This face was so familiar. Ryan knew this man. He has been to Miami before, worked with his team on one case. This man dressed in black suit, holding a hotdog a cup of hot coffee.

"You are… Detective Mac Taylor right?" Ryan asked with a little doubt.

"Yes I am. You're from Miami, right? CSI…" Mac tried to remember.

"Ryan Wolfe. It's normal you don't remember me. We didn't talk much in the last case." Ryan smiled.

"Would you like to join me for lunch?" Mac invited.

"I had lunch already. But a cup of coffee is ok."

They were standing on the top of NYPD building. Mac let Ryan in; however, he must wear a visitor tag. Ryan enjoyed his coffee. He looked around. This scenery reminded him so much of his childhood here. He moved to Miami when he was in high school, with his aunt and uncle since he couldn't put up with his father anymore.

"Look like you know New York!" Mac asked.

"I know New York. Know it well." Ryan said. "I lived here until I wad 15."

"I see." Nodded the NY detective. "So what makes you come back?"

"I didn't. This is my vacation." Replied Ryan immediately "It's kind of complicated. Horatio gave me this vacation with a condition."

"And what is it?" Mac always knew Horatio is an interesting man. His way of taking care of his family is strange to.

"I need to bring his little sister from Mars or Jupiter or whatever to Earth!" Ryan said with a smile. Mac laughed lightly. "H told me she works too much and she deserves a vacation just like me!"

"I'm afraid it will be a hard mission, Wolfe!" Mac chuckled. "Ellie doesn't listen to anyone, even me."

"You... know her?" Ryan astonished.

"I'm the head of this department. I know my employees. And I definitely know my assistant."

"Oh, I forget the big part. Forgive me." Ryan smiled "So where can I see her?"

"I'll walk you." Mac offered nicely "By the way, I'd like to see how Ellie reacts."

"Any advice before I see her?" Ryan asked in the worried voice.

"Just… take care!" Mac said.

"Oh, thanks. That's helpful." Ryan said ironically.

Ryan Wolfe was walking with Mac Taylor through the lab. All the faces were strange. Everybody stopped working to have a look of Ryan when he and Mac passed by. Mac smiled as his female employees blushed when they saw Ryan.

"I won't hire you to this lab, Wolfe. You're such a distraction." Mac joked.

"Oh, I'll take it as a complement."

Ryan replied shortly. He was too curious about this Elizabeth girl to care about others.

"You'll know when you see her." Mac whispered.

"I see her now." Ryan announced.

"Congratulations." Mac said "I'll leave you here. I got a case to run."

"Yes. Thank you for your time. Good luck with the case."

Elizabeth Caine had the most serious face that Ryan had ever seen. She was too concentrated on her work to notice Ryan had stepped in her lab for about tem minutes. By the look of what she was doing, Ryan guessed she is looking for prints. No, that was not prints alone. She let the computer searched the prints while she turned to work with the bloody T-Shirt. Trying to get DNA? Wow, this girl is amazing. At the other corner, oh my God, she is checking the ballistics records. Three tasks at a time. She is not human. Ryan didn't notice that other people started to whisper because he was standing there and watching her for a long time.

"Beep! Beep" – The prints got a hit. Ryan heard the sound but seemed like Elizabeth didn't.

She was too focus on getting the DNA. Elizabeth sighed slightly when she put the DNA for the machine.

"The prints got a hit on AFIS." Ryan started to say.

"Thanks." She replied, didn't notice he standing there.

"You're welcome." Ryan said with a smile, but he doubted she saw it.

"Now the bullet. Case #3178 in 2008." Ryan read from the computer. He didn't touch anything, but he did move closer to Elizabeth.

"Not quite an old case right?" She said. God! Hello! I just talked to you! Ryan "screamed" inside his head.

"Yeah, not too old. And the bullet's shape is quite unique. This guy returns to the game?" He asked, staring at her.

"Oh… yeah…" Elizabeth startled. She turned around to look at Ryan.

"Welcome to Earth, miss Caine." Ryan finally said with a smile.

"Oh thanks. I don't know what do you, or my brother, want from me but I must say I don't need any help with my life or my work." She said coldly, moving to see her DNA result. She smiles at the paper. "Got 'cha!" And she ran out of the lab, totally ignored Ryan.

So what will happen next?
