Eric Delko, Tim Speedle and Horatio Caine
(Horatio Caine's House -- September 20th 2010 -- 7:57 am)
Horatio hated this day.
One of his worst days of the year.
The day he lost Speed.
It was a sad day for him and Eric.
Every year since Speed died, Eric would shut off the world for the day and be alone, with his sadness.
He heard a light knock at his front door.
Hortaio wondered who it could be.
It was Eric, along with a local cop.
"Good moring, sir. , here, was found throwing up in the trace lab. I was told to bring him to you."
He took a look at Eric.
Eric's eyes were bright red.
He has been drinking.
All night, Horatio guessed.
"Thanks."
The officer handed Eric over to him, than lefted.
"What happend Eric?"
"I saw him. I saw him. I miss him, H. I miss my friend."
Eric broke down crying in Horatio's arms.
"I know, Eric. I know."
"Why? Why him?"
"I don't know."
Horatio helped Eric onto the couch.
"Its ok, Eric. It's ok."
"I'm just so sad. I don't know what to do anymore."
Eric sobbed into Hortaio's shirt.
After awhile, he stopped.
"I'm sorry."
Horatio handed him a cup of coffee.
"Eric, you shouldn't be."
Eric looked up to his friend.
"Everyone needs a good breakdown from time to time. I guess today was just your day, Eric. It's fine." He promied.
Eric smiled.
"It's good to have a friend like you."
