"You blew up one of my labs today Damien."

"No hard feelings," Damien responded with a laugh. "At least CSI wife is still alive."

"Yes, but CSI husband is fighting for his because of you."

"Too bad. I liked talking to him. I liked watching him squirm knowing I had CSI wife. That was a lot fun."

"If he dies, you'll be charged with murder. It isn't a lot fun now, is it Damien?" Horatio said as he exited the room.

Frank was standing in the hall as Horatio exited. "What are we gonna do with Zorro there?"

"Frank... We hold him... Until he leaves another mark."

"Ryan's going to be alright Natalia. He's a fighter." Calleigh said as she took Natalia's hand and squeezed it.

"That's easy for you to say Calleigh."

"I know Natalia. You saved his life. He knows that."

"What if I was too late? What if what I did was not enough?"

"Natalia, are you listening to yourself? You don't actually believe that now do you?"

"Calleigh is right Nat. You're being too hard on yourself. Wolfe is gonna make it. He's too stubborn to die." Walter said as he took Natalia into her arms.

"I just wish I could hear something."

Just as Natalia said that, Alexx stepped into the waiting room. She was crumpling her doo-rag in one hand, searching for the right words to say. Calleigh knew the look on her face. Natalia also knew what words were coming next. Walter just stood and turned his back.

Alexx walked further into the room until her hand took Natalia's.

"Don't Alexx. Don't say it. I don't want it to be true. I want you to go back through that door and come back in with..."

"Oh baby," Alexx said as she interrupted with a swipe of Natalia's face with her hand, "You know I can't do that. I wish I could. I'm so sorry Natalia."

"This can't be happening. No, it really isn't happening. I'm dreaming this. I know I am!"

"I wish it was a dream sweetie. We did everything we could do. Ryan's internal injuries were more extensive than we first thought."

"I need to see him Alexx. I need to see my husband."

"Honey, you don't want to see him in his condition. Let me clean him up first. You don't want to go in that room only to remember Ryan like that. Calleigh?"

"Natalia, Alexx is right. Let her do what she needs to do."

"Yeah Natalia. Wolfe wouldn't want you seeing him like that." Walter said as he and Calleigh both took Natalia in their arms.

Natalia just fell into them with heartfelt emotions.

Alexx turned and walked out and down the hall to where Ryan was. She entered the room and turned to him. When she was beside where he was lying, Ryan opened his eyes. Alexx took his hand and said, "I don't like this Ryan. I don't. You didn't see Natalia. I did. Not to mention Calleigh and Walter. That poor girl. I don't know how I always let you talk me into things. Especially this."

"Alexx," Ryan said through a tired whisper, "Now call Horatio. He'll understand."

Immediately, Alexx dialed.

Horatio ended the call saying, "I'll be right there Alexx."

Frank, who was standing beside him, gave him a very concerned look. Horatio slipped his phone into his pocket and looked at Damien sitting and said, "Frank, we just got him for murder. Keep him here."

Frank looked as Horatio rushed out the lab. Eric saw him going and asked, "Horatio's going to the hospital isn't he?"

"Yeah. So it is true?"

"About Wolfe? Yeah, it is. I just got off the phone with Calleigh. Her and Walter are there with Natalia."

"Well, Zorro there hasn't put away his sword yet."

"Obviously. But that won't be the sword he'll be forced to use where he's going either." Eric said and Frank chuckled.

"Horatio," Natalia said and immediately he wrapped her in his arms. He just held her with no words.

"I want to see him, but..."

"In time Mrs. Wolfe. In time. You're safe here with Calleigh and Walter. I need to find Alexx."

"She's with Ryan, Horatio." Calleigh said.

"Just like old times," Horatio said as he walked out of the waiting room door.

He found Alexx waiting outside the room where Ryan was. They looked at each other and Horatio smiled, but Alexx's expression was nothing to match his. He knew that look even though a lot of time passed from her departure.

Horatio approached Alexx and with a very quiet tone she said, "I didn't want any part of this Horatio. I was highly against it. But, he said you'd understand."

"I do, Alexx, I do," and then he opened the door. Ryan was eating orange Jello and making a face.

"God, I hate this stuff. How can a hospital serve this, Horatio?" Ryan said and slammed it down so hard the uneaten portion popped out and covered the tray.

"Good question, Mr. Wolfe. It should have been lime instead."

"Very funny Horatio."

"No, what's funny is how you won't include your wife on what you are about to tell me."

"I can't H. If I do, it could kill her. It could kill the team. Anyone. It almost killed me."

"Hypothetically... it did kill you, Mr. Wolfe."

"I still don't like it. Natalia needs to know Ryan." Alexx said as she cleaned up the Jello mess off the tray.

"H., I found a note before the blast went off. It said, 'Congratulations. You found the real one. Question is, can you find the others?'"

Alexx stopped and looked at him in amazement.

Horatio pulled out his phone. "Eric... the bomb squad... search the lab... now!"

Ryan looked at Alexx as Horatio put his phone away and said, "See, I knew he'd understand."

"Everybody out! Now!" Eric screamed.

"Delko, what the hell?" Frank said as he came running.

"Get everybody out now Frank. The bomb squad needs to search the building."

"Can't I just leave Zorro?"

"If it was only that easy. We are gonna need him Frank. Trust me," and as Frank went to get Damien, Eric yelled, "Hey Frank, aren't you forgetting something?" Frank looked back to Eric with a quizzical expression. "Your sword," Eric said with a smirk.

"Very funny Delko. Very funny." Frank replied.

Right before Frank entered the room with Damien, Eric yelled laughingly, "My next set is at eight!" and Frank rolled his eyes.

When Eric turned around, there stood Calleigh. "What are you doing here? I thought you were going to stay with Natalia."

"I was, but Walter is with her now. Alexx is preparing Ryan's body so Natalia can see him and make arrangements."

"I can't believe that Ryan didn't make it."

"I know. It's not right. Let's not dwell on that now. Is everybody out?" Calleigh said as they both finally stepped outside.

"Looks like it, except Zorro and the detective."

"I'm sure Frank can handle that. What are we looking for?"

"Not we Calleigh. Them." Eric said and pointed to the bomb squad pulling up.

"Another bomb?"

"According to H., there could be more than one."

Calleigh had that look Eric knew all too well. "Oh, that look. I know what that means."

"What look?"

"That look you get when the light bulb goes off in your head. What are you thinking Calliegh?"

"It's nothing. Really Eric. Now can we just let the bomb squad do their job."

As they watched, Frank came out and put Damien in the car. He turned around and said, "Delko, did Horatio say where to take this idiot?"

"Oh, so now he's an idiot and not Zorro? I told you to take your sword!"

"Calleigh, can't you do something with him? He's suddenly become a bad comedian."

"Eric? Really? It's okay Frank. He just wants to make sure to leave HIS mark," Calleigh said with a laugh.

"Oh great. The Delko Duo. Remind me not to buy tickets!" Frank waved his hand in disgust and began walking back to his squad car. Then Horatio pulled up.

Eric started talking to a member of the bomb squad and walked off with him. Horatio got out of his Hummer and walked to the front of it and just stood looking at the chaos. Calleigh walked over and stood beside him not saying anything. This lasted a good thirty seconds.

"Calleigh... there's something on your mind... Spill it." Horatio finally said and looked down as he removed his sunglasses.

"He's alive isn't he?"

"Is who alive, Calleigh?"

"Horatio, really? You know who. How else did you find out there were more bombs."

"I, Mrs. Delko... have a reliable informant."

"Yeah, and his name is Ryan Wolfe!" Calleigh said and turned to find her husband.

"Ryan, I have to go get your wife eventually. I can't keep her waiting much longer. She wants to see her supposedly dead husband, remember."

"Yeah I know. You have the stuff Alexx?"

"Yes I have it. I still don't like this, but I'm gonna do it. Ryan when I give it to you, you'll barely be breathing. But you're married to a CSI, so if Natalia stays long, she's gonna figure it out."

"Alex, you're going to have to find a way to get her out quickly."

"Well good luck with that."

"I mean it Alexx. She can't see me make the slightest inhale."

"Then I suggest we start getting you cold pretty quick. Ready?"

"Do I have a choice?"

"You do not want me to answer that Ryan."

"Do it already Alexx."

"Ryan, as soon as I inject you, you'll fall asleep immediately. As soon as I know it's safe, I'll go get Natalia. But know, I'm bringing you out of this after she's gone. Do you understand?"

"I do Alexx. I do. Can we get on with it?"

Alexx did not say anything else and stuck the needle in Ryan's vein. Within seconds, he was out cold. She observed him and noticed his respirations were slowed to the barest of minimums. She put the stethoscope to his chest and listened. His heartbeat was down to beats almost every thirty seconds. Alexx only hoped his complexion was sullen enough and that his body temperature had lowered to an acceptable level within the few minutes of the dosage. It was the best she could do under the circumstances.

Walter still sat beside Natalia when Alexx entered the waiting room. Both of them looked up at Alexx.

"Come with me Walter."

"Natalia, this is something you should do alone. I'll just be in the way."

"Walter, please. You're his best friend."

"But you're his wife."

"For me Walter. For Ryan. Please."

"Oh okay." Walter said and Natalia grabbed his arm.

They followed Alexx to the room. She did not go inside. She just shut the door behind them and prayed. Prayed for two reasons. She prayed because of the deception and also because she hoped neither one would see him make the smallest inhale.

Natalia took her husband's hand and held it not knowing his heart was still faintly beating. She stroked the side of his face with her other hand. Walter, standing at a distance, watched as Natalia touched his face and saw the slight flinch of Ryan's eyelid. Immediately, he looked out the glass pane of the door to Alexx. Alexx put her finger to her lips.

Walter then saw Natalia lean down and start to put her head on Ryan's chest and, in a very fast pace, reached Natalia and put his hand on her back. Luckily, she looked up at him and turned and embraced him. In the only way he could at that moment knowing what he now knew, he engulfed Natalia into his big frame. She started to cry.

"We can go now Walter. I need to start making plans." Natalia said and headed for the door.

Alexx opened the door for them and hugged Natalia so her head faced Walter. She looked at him. Walter mouthed to her, "Why?" And she mouthed back, "Ask Horatio." Walter nodded.

Then he and Natalia began walking out.

Horatio stood inspecting the site where Natalia found Ryan. He moved a few pieces of debris hoping to find what he was looking for. No luck. Then he looked to the left where Ryan's arm would have been.

The edges were slightly scorched but the words were still legible. Horatio picked it up and looked in the direction of Frank's squad car. He eyed Damien sitting in the backseat. Damien smiled.

Horatio opened the back door and asked, "The others Damien. Where are they?"

"The other what?"

"Maybe this will help you remember," Horatio said and held the note in front of Damien. "Now Damien, let's try this again. The others. Where are they?"

Damien read the note and laughed. "Lieutenant, really? You think I wrote that?"

"I know you wrote this. And my dead CSI is proof. You see, before he died, he told me about it. So, I've got you for one murder. If these others go off, no telling how many more murders you will go down for."

"CSI husband died?"

"Like you didn't know."

"I didn't lieutenant. I... I... I didn't mean for that to happen. Honest."

"Then Damien, again, where are the others!"

Damien bowed his head for a second. Then he looked up and saw the coroner's van pull up in the distance. Not only was he looking in the same direction, but so were members of the team.

Horatio smiled under his sunglasses. Frank, Calleigh, and Eric watched as Walter drove up. Natalia got out and Walter stood beside her. All of them watched as the back of the van was opened and a gurney was pulled out. They knew whose body was on it. Calleigh watched Walter as he stopped the staff member pushing the gurney and say something. Then she watched as Walter took over pushing the gurney. She knew Walter knew what she knew and she smiled.

However, they all forgot to text Walter and tell him no one was allowed inside. By the look of things as he pushed the gurney around, Walter knew this, but Calleigh ran to him in a full sprint, passing Natalia along the way.

"Walter! You can't!"

He turned around and Calleigh panted beside him. "I see that now, nice of you all to let me know. But Calleigh, if I don't get this gurney somewhere hidden, we are going to have a bigger situation on our hands."

"I know Walter. I know." Calleigh said and looked around.

"Wait a minute? You know that Wolfe is..."

"Alive, Calleigh? Yeah, I know."

"How?"

"Horatio. It wasn't hard to figure out. Can we get the van without Natalia seeing?"

"We'll have too." Walter said and checked to see where Natalia was.

Walter saw her heading towards Frank's squad car. She was going to drop a bomb of her own.

"Hey! You sick bastard! My husband is dead because of you! Move Horatio!" Natalia said as she pushed Horatio to the side.

"Lieutenant, are you gonna let CSI wife talk to me that way?"

"I'm not the one who killed her husband. You are."

"I never meant for him... or anyone to die."

"So far, Damien, no one else has... yet." Horatio said as Natalia just stood inside the door looking at Damien

Damien looked at Natalia and saw the hurt in her eyes. He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry CSI wife. I really am. I just meant to scare. I just wanted revenge for my brother."

"Well, you still didn't get it, did you?" The voice came from behind. "H., tell the bomb squad to check the morgue, drawer number 6."

Immediately, Natalia turned around and saw Ryan standing there between Calleigh, Walter, and Eric. In shock for just a moment, she stood there and just stared. She burst into tears before she ran to him with open arms.

"And that... Zorro... is how you leave a mark," Horatio said as he slipped on his sunglasses and slammed Frank's squad car door.

Horatio was on his phone as he walked up to members of his team, including the resurrected one standing in the middle. He clicked it closed and slipped it in his pocket as Natalia turned and said, "You knew? You all knew? Nice bunch of friends I have here."

"Well, to be honest, Alexx and Horatio were the first to know." Ryan answered.

"Yeah, and Calleigh and I just figured it out." Walter said with a little smile.

"Mrs. Wolfe, it was for your own good. Our own good. If it had not been for Mr. Wolfe, we would not have found the other bombs."

"But how did you know drawer 6?" Natalia said as she looked at her husband.

"Damien's brother, Rodrigo, was put in that one after Horatio and I raided his house and he opened fire."

"But it was my bullet that killed him. Damien was going after Ryan and you, trying to exact revenge on me."

"Instead, he almost got revenge on me. I almost lost you Ryan."

"We, Mrs. Wolfe, almost lost him."

"But you didn't. I'm here. And now the masked man will have a bomb dropped on him where he is going.

"In more ways than just one!" Walter said.

Then the team just looked at Walter with sarcastic looks.

"What? Oh come on, I know I was not the only one thinking it!"

Then Horatio gave that sly smile and laughter broke out amongst them and it felt good until they all turned and looked at the carnage.

But it was okay. They were a team once again.
