Change
In this farewell
There's no truth
There's no alibi
Cause I've drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies
"Actually it's a little boring" Samantha laughed, relaxed on her couch. "A whole lot of ass kissing, that about it lil bro" She was talking to Billy on her phone.
"Something your pretty good at Sis" Billy countered
"Oh, I am so gunna pound you for that one, when I get a chance to come see you" Sam laughed.
"Speaking of which, when are you getting a chance to come down here?"
Samantha shrugged. "I've got no idea… The feds are keeping me pretty busy, but it's all good"
"Great… hey did you hear about Horatio?"
"What about him?" Sam asked
"He's got a girlfriend"
"really? Cool, he deserves one"
"Yeah… he's been kinda depressed lately… think he misses Yelina and Ray"
"Plus there's problems in the lab"
"Yeah… listen, come home soon ok" Billy said quietly
"I promise Billy"
So let mercy come and wash away
Samantha arrived outside the Miami Dade Police Department, ready to wage war with Agent Wynn. "You better have a good reason for talking to civilians Wynn"
"Matthews, your protecting a dirty lab you realize that."
"We already have someone working to see if this is the case I hear" Samantha said quietly.
"You hear too much about this lab, miss Matthews"
"Its Agent Matthews Wynn, and I will do anything I can to protect this lab, and the Lt. so leave them alone"
"Samantha?" A familiar voice came from behind. Samantha turned to see Natalia.
"Nat what are you doing here?" Samantha asked a small smile on her face
"I, I got transferred here." Natalia looked at Sam, and Sam immediately understood.
"She's your mole"
"Matthews, you are under orders not to disclose anything about this to the Lt, or your brother" Wynn ordered immediately
"Go to hell Wynn" Sam muttered stalking off
What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
He opened the door, surprised to see her, but she didn't allow him a chance to speak "I know your busy Horatio, but I have to talk to you for a couple of minutes"
"Sam, I'm never to busy for you, you know that come in"
"Isn't your… partner here?" Sam asked
"I wanted you to meet Marisol anyway… seems a good as time as any" Horatio smiled.
"that serious huh?"
Horatio looked at Samantha with a smile. "That serious" He said "coming in?"
"It's about the mole" Sam said to him, "I think we should talk out here, then I'll come and meet the love of your life"
Horatio's face went serious. "What do you know?" He asked.
""Natalia Boa Vista" Sam replied.
Horatio nodded. "I thought…" He spoke quietly, angry
"Horatio, I'm putting my job on the line here you know that"
"I know, and I appreciate it… did you speak to Wynn"
"Yes, and his superiors." Sam smiled. "I mentioned he endangered the investigation into the lab, and he's now on paperwork for a few weeks… It was the best I could do on such short notice."
"Thank you" Horatio smiled again "are you coming in now"
"sure thing"
Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I've cleaned the slate
With hands of uncertainty
"Samantha" His voice sent shivers down her spine it was so cold and angry.
"Rio" She said simply, handing him two tickets "Anything that happens over there will stay over there."
"Thank you" He nodded, and started to walk away
"Horatio" Sam called. Horatio turned to look at her, and for a moment their eyes locked. He nodded, and walked off.
"What was that about?" Eric asked, taking his ticket
"Eric, we have more important things to worry about right now" Horatio replied avoiding the question.
So let mercy come and wash away
"I hear congratulations are in order" Samantha said, standing behind Natalia "Your sting's completed"
"Sam I've had a long day, ok, just don't"
"Horatio's a friend Natalia… I convinced him to give you a job, and you decided to work with the interns?"
"If you hate being a fed so much, why are you still one?"
"Ask myself the same question every day" Sam sighed. "I'm here to tell you, Your no longer a federal agent"
"What about the grant?"
"The grant is still there, but your no longer an informant. Have fun as a local… Oh yeah, I have this for you too" Samantha threw a small piece of plastic at Natalia. It was a ID "Your now a CSI, Congratulations"
What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
"How was the trip?" Samantha asked, coming out of the lab after Horatio left.
"I did what I had to do" Horatio's voice was still full of anger, and despair.
"Want to come home with me?" Sam asked with a laugh. "I figure you don't want to be on your own right now"
"Thanks Sammy" Horatio said looking at her.
For what I've done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I'm forgiving what I've done
"So why were you in the lab anyway?" Horatio asked sipping his drink
"Covering for you. As far as the feds know, you and Delko have never been in Rio"
Horatio nodded "Thank you" He said quietly "You've been a great help over the last few years"
"I have to pay you back somehow… You helped me and Billy out a lot back in New York"
"it was my pleasure to help you"
"Just want you to know I appreciate it thought" They were silent for a moment then Sam spoke "Horatio?" He looked over at her. "I'm not gunna say I'm sorry for your loss or anything, cause its dumb… You know I am anyway… I'll say this though, I'm here if you need a friend, business or personal wise, same as when I was a kid"
"I know" Horatio said.
"Cheers" Sam said clinking Horatio's glass.
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
What I've done
Forgiving what I've done
