-1This is my first CSI: Miami flick, I hope you like it. Please R & R and tell me what you think. I am trying really hard. This is going to have some fluff. Enjoy!

Oh and I don't own CSI: Miami, except for the characters you don't recognize.

For little over a year Ryan has been dating a girl that works on the police force. Her name is Kaki Johnson; a British brunette with deep green eyes and a fair body. They've gone through ups and downs. From the accident that had Ryan in the hospital with a nail in his eye. To the car accident Kaki was in that broke her leg. They've been through a lot, but will their relationship survive what life has in store for them?

Up until five minutes ago Kaki 'was' on the police force. Now she is on the CSI team because her boss thought she needed a change in pace. She was sitting in the break room pouting when Ryan and Calleigh walked in.

"Hey, what you doing here?" Ryan asked curiously.

"MybossthoughtitwouldbebetterifIchangedmypace-" She rambled out fast.

"Whoa!" Calleigh stopped her, "Slowly please."

Kaki sighed, "My-boss-thought-it-would-be-better-if-I-changed-my-pace."

"Why?" Ryan asked.

"I don't want to talk about it." Her British was crisp.

Calleigh's pager went off and she left the room.

"Okay, come on, why don't you tell me?"

"Because I can't believe I even did it myself."

"What did you do?"

"Do you want to go out to lunch and talk about it then?"

"Yeah." He replied; taking her hand they left the lab.

Meanwhile

"Eric," Calleigh approached him, "We have a dead body that was pulled up from the sewer. Horatio is already down there and is waiting for you and me to get there."

"Yeah, alright I'm coming." He followed.

Meanwhile

Ryan and Kaki arrived at an outside bistro. They parked and picked out a table that didn't have a lot of people around it.

"So what's going on?" He pushed in her chair.

"I was responding to a bank robbery. A one man robbery." She put her hands on her head.

"What happened?"

"I went up to the door… He was hiding behind the counter and had a hostage. I told him I was coming in. He had agreed to let the hostage go in exchange for… police escort to his wife's house."

"Is that why he was holding up the bank?"

"Yeah, he had a fight with his wife and she wanted a divorce." She sighed, "Anyway, I went in armed, like we're supposed to." She sounded like she was going to cry, "He came out firing, and I-I-I shot him. I k-k-killed him."

He put his hand on hers, "Its okay. It really is."

"He was young… They… His wife…" She sighed, "She's pregnant with their second child."

Ryan sighed as a stout, black haired waitress came over.

"Can I take your orders dears?" Her voice was chipper.

"I'll have the Caesar salad with…" Kaki paused, "Water, please."

The woman scribbled on her notepad and then looked up, "And you dear?"

"I'll take the Turkey Sandwich Special with a Diet Coke." Ryan ordered, "Please."

"I'll be back in a few minutes with your orders." And with that she waddled away.

"You're going to have to eat meat…" Ryan teased Kaki, "I don't want you to meet my family at the cook out… They would think you were absolutely nuts."

Kaki smiled, "Well then they would think you were nuts for dating me."

"There's the smile I was looking for." He brushed hair from her face.

The waitress came over with their food, "Well you two love birds enjoy your food." She said in a sing-song voice.

They began eating when Ryan brought up the ever occurring subject.

"So… do you want to move in?" He asked as she put down her glass.

Kaki sighed, "Yes, but I need to be honest with you…"

"What?" Ryan took a drink from his glass.

"I wasn't completely honest with everybody. Yes, I'm from the UK. I was born there… not here. I didn't want to tell anyone because-" She thought about her words for a moment, "My father owns a company and he has a lot of money and I didn't want anyone thinking I was a snob."

"Is that it?" He asked as he finished his sandwich.

"Yeah, pretty much."

"Cool."

"You aren't mad?" She took another bite of her salad.

"Why would I be? We all have our skeletons. Yours are just better than some… You'll learn that from this job." He explained.

"In London if I were to hide secrets from my family, it would be bad." She explained, "It would make them awfully mad."

"Well trust me, honey, here that is nothing compared to what can really piss a guy off."

"Huh… strange… I've lived here for almost a year and a half and I never would have thought that."

"So about meeting my family," Ryan smiled, "This weekend is the cookout, are you sure you still want to go?"

Kaki finished her lunch, "If you want me to eat meat so that they will still like me… I think I can handle that."

"I don't want to force you to do something you're not comfortable with-"

"No, it's fine. So does it start tomorrow?"

He raised an eyebrow at her.

"Really, it is." She smiled, "I'll hold my breath, and then I won't taste it."

"Okay, great. Yeah, it's tomorrow." He looked at his watch, "We have ten minutes left of lunch. Let's get going."

They paid their bill and headed back to the lab where they meet Calleigh with some evidence.

"Hey guys," She greeted, "I have some things for you to process."

"Great." Ryan rubbed his hands together.

"Yeah, it is waiting over there on the table." Calleigh pointed, "The woman was found in the sewer, her purse was tied around her arm. Her clothes, her purse and all of her belongings that were with her, should be there. Get cracking…" She left the room.

Almost two hours had passed and they had found no source of identification in the purse. They collected stray fibers off of her clothes and blood stains from inside her purse. A voice came over the loud speaker, "Kaki Johnson you have a visitor."

Kaki looked at Ryan and shrugged. As she left, Eric walked in.

"Hey, what do you have?" Eric greeted Ryan.

"A few fibers that look like they came from a car, some blood from the inside of her purse, and no identification what-so-ever." Ryan introduced their findings.

"Huh… Let's run the blood and fibers."

"How do you ask someone to marry you?" Ryan asked randomly in a hushed tone.

"What?" Eric laughed and then looked at Ryan, "Oh, you're serious. I don't know."

"I don't know how to ask her and I thought you could-"

"I'm the wrong person to ask for advice." Eric shrugged, "What's the ring look like?"

Ryan pulled a small box from his pocket and opened for Eric to see. Inside a tear drop diamond accented with two smaller diamonds sat inside the black velvet case.

Eric looked shocked, "How many karats is that?"

"One and a half." Ryan smiled briefly, "I'm afraid she's going to say no."

"I don't think she will. She loves you too much." Eric reassured him.

Two seconds later Kaki stumbled through the door with a dozen red roses. Eric took the flowers and placed them on a cleared counter.

"Who are those from?" Ryan asked.

"The card says: To Kaki, My Love, My Life and the One I Should Marry." Eric read aloud, "How sweet, Ryan proposed…"

"There not from Ryan," Kaki snatched the card from his hand.

"Then who?" Ryan asked with a hint of jealously on his voice.

"His name is Charles Johansson. And don't worry; I don't have any feelings for him." She picked up the flowers and stuffed them in the trashcan.

The computer near Ryan beeped and the results printed. He picked up the paper.

"The blood inside the purse belongs to a… Sarah Carlos." He printed up a picture and handed it to Eric, "Here see if this is the woman."

"Yeah." He sighed, "Thanks."

This time a computer near Kaki beeped and printed a paper. She took the paper and read its confinements.

"The fibers match a 1982 Mustang; they came from the floor of the car. They're standard black." She handed the paper to Ryan.

Just then a man wearing a visitor's pass walked in. He was dressed in a black trench coat suit, his hair was jet black and slicked back.

"I'm looking for Kaki Johnson." His airy British voice filled the room.

She turned around and looked at him, "What are you doing here?"

He rushed up to her, took her by her waist, spun her around, dipped her low and then kissed her.

"Hey!" Ryan shoved the papers into Eric's hand, "What are you doing!"

Kaki pushed herself away from Charles, "Yeah, what he said!"

"I'm sorry, do I know you?" He faced Ryan.

"No, but I have a problem with you barging in here and forcing yourself upon my girlfriend." He said as he stood next to Kaki.

"Your girlfriend?" Charles laughed and looked at Kaki, "Who's this bloke?"

"This bloke is my boyfriend." Kaki said as she put her arm around Ryan's waist.

"Oh, no… Your mother was right." Charles pulled out his phone, "You don't know what you are doing."

"Charles, what are you talking about?" She pointed at the door, "You need to leave."

"I will call your parents. They'll set you straight." He said as she started to push him towards the door, "Don't worry, we'll be together soon."

"Leave." She shoved him, "And don't bother, I love him and not even my parents can change that."

"Fine, but I'll be back."

"Never come near me again!" She said as Horatio walk in.

"Who is this?" Horatio asked.

"Just leaving!" Ryan said.

"Leave. I don't love you and I will never forgive you!" Kaki said to Charles who looked as though she had ripped out his heart and stepped on it.

Anger then spread across his face as he turned on Ryan, "She's mine and by Monday she will be on a plane with me and we will be going back to London." And with that he turned on his heels and marched out of the room.

"Strange." Horatio said, "So what do you have for me?"

Eric handed him the papers that Ryan had forced into his hands.

"I see... the victim's husband has a 1982 Mustang." Horatio said, "Kaki, take care of your problems outside of work. Come on Eric; let's go talk to the husband." And with that Eric followed Horatio, leaving behind a flustered Ryan and Kaki.

"What was that about?" Ryan asked.

"It's like you said, 'We all have skeletons." She mocked him.

"Yeah, but this one came out. So please explain to me what just happened."

"I was engaged to him two years ago. But then I found him cheating on me and well… I left him. I came to America and I moved here to Florida. He's been trying to reach me ever since I left. When I got here I joined the police force and then I met you." She explained.

"You know what? I am not going to let this ruin us. We are just going to get rid of him and we are going to have fun at the cookout this weekend. Right?"

She grinned, "Right."

A couple of hours later Horatio was dragging Sarah Carlos' husband to jail in handcuffs. He had admitted to killing his wife. His exact words were, "That bitch was cheating on me and I wasn't going to let her do that… So when she came home, I strangled her with my hands, then took her body and threw it down the sewer." When he was asked why he had tied her purse around her arm, he replied, "Because the bitch had it coming."

No one knew exactly what it meant, but everyone had their own ideas. The day was fading fast and Kaki and Ryan needed to get on the road if they wanted to make it out to Clearwater before midnight.

"See you guys on Monday." And with that they left for Ryan's parents.
