Caged Wolf

I do not own any csi's…sadly so look I have a disclaimer so no sue.

It was like any regular day down at the CSI Miami headquarters, Calleigh and Eric were resting in the breakroom, and Natalia and Valera were going over some DNA samples from a previous case, and Haratio had waved good morning to Alex on her way down to the morgue, but someone was missing and that was one Ryan Wolfe, the one CSI that was never late. Haratio headed to the breakroom to consult his other CSI's. "Good morning" Haratio said calmly "morning H" said eric "good morning Haratio" Calleigh drawled. "Has Ryan come to work yet by any chance?" Haratio asked "No I haven't…" Calleigh was about to finish her sentence when the breakroom door slammed open and exposed one Ryan Wolfe "Sor…sorry im late" Ryan stammered.

"It's alright Mr. Wolfe" Haratio said in a calming voice, he was taking in Ryan's appearance, his scuffled hair, his wrinkled t-shirt and creased jeans, but most alarming was the bags under his eyes and the film of sweat plastered to what seemed to be his whole body. "Im really sorry, I hope I haven't missed a case" Ryan said in between gasps of breath, "It's ok Wolfe calm down" Eric said in an impatient tone, "Go…Good" Ryan said finally beginning to catch his breath. After all the fuss, Haratio left the room, thankful that all of his CSI's were at hand, even though he was slightly worried for Ryan's health.

Now all three CSI's were sitting in the breakroom silently. Ryan was over at the coffee pot brewing some fresh coffee, it was to quiet for Eric's liking and he decided to pick on Wolfe. "So Wolfe why are you Soooooo late?" Eric said in a teasing tone "I… I overslept because I had a late night" Ryan said timidly "A late night huh?" Eric continued his game "Doing what banging chicks, drinking excessively, it this the reason why your so late didn't know how to get to the lab from that random girls house?" Eric asked crudely, Ryan remained silent poring coffee into his mug. "Eric you should stop" Calleigh said in an upset tone, "You're being extremely unfair!" she exclaimed. "No im not" Eric said testily, "you think you can roll in whenever you want just because…" Eric was not able to complete his sentence when he felt hot coffee pour all over his skin and clothes and heard the sound of shattering glass on the floor.

"SHUT UP" Ryan screamed in anger, "Ryan!!" Calleigh exclaimed in an angry tone. "JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP ERIC" Ryan screamed more and now the fire was fueled Eric got up and started approaching Wolfe "WHATS WRONG WITH YOU" Eric screamed as he grabbed Ryan by the Scruff of his t-shirt and Eric could see Wolfe winding up for a punch "STOOOOOOOOPPPP" Calleigh screamed, this was extremely rare to hear Calleigh scream so Eric released Ryan's collar and in a flash Ryan fell into Eric, "Wolfe?" Eric asked annoyed, Ryan was gripping at Eric's shirt "Look lets stop" Eric said still annoyed "Wolfe…" but before Eric could finish Ryan started to break into a coughing fit. Eric started to pat his back and Calleigh rushed over to Ryan's side, "Wolfe chill out man what's wrong?" Eric said now concerned, Calleigh began to rub Ryan's arm "come lie down she said", as soon as Calleigh tried to lead Ryan to the couch he pushed them both away "I'm fine" he whispered, "Im going to go get some fresh air" and with that Ryan left the breakroom. "Uh well that was interesting?" Eric said in a confused tone.
