Chapter 2
Ryan Wolfe parked his viper and got out ,put on his sunglasses then made his way to the crime lab he had visited before but it was a long time ago .He wanted to surprise Horatio who didn't even know that Ryan was back to the States .
Ryan walked to the receptionist and was greeted by an ogling receptionist who was looking at him like he was something to eat ,One would think that after being a model for 8 years that he would get used to all the attention but it still felt weird every time .
From his peripheral vision, Ryan could see a tall dark haired brown eyed man staring intently at him as he charmed the receptionist who turned bright red and was now leaning so far across her desk that her breasts were under his nose but he totally ignored her .He requested to meet and she readily agreed asking him to be escorted by Officer Delko ,the one who called him beautiful in Spanish ,Ryan was actually flattered by the compliment
"Ryan Wolfe "he said shaking Eric's hand ,a bright smile on his face
"Eric Delko ."Ryan's whole body tensed ,his smile dimmed and his eyes tightened painfully around Eric's
"No,No this can't be." thought Ryan desperately after hearing a name he hadn't heard in ten years ,a name of the man who haunted his most pathetic dreams and worst nightmares in high school , the name of the person that subjected him to the worst humiliation and rejection in his life .
"Stupid " Ryan mentally slapped himself for not recognizing Eric sooner ,he really hasn't changed much since high school ,he still had the same confident smile and soft dark hair though his skin darkened a bit from working in the sun "Don't go there ,Ryan .Just don't " He sighed internally ,
What hurt Ryan more was the fact that Eric didn't recognize him ,he just saw Ryan Wolfe the famous model , not Ryan the geek that he played then discarded in high school for the sake of a good laugh with his friends
Ryan upheld his unemotional mask during the elevator ride and didn't utter one word
Ryan found Speed and Rick at each other throats as usual while Speed looked at them helplessly yet amused It was a known fact that Rick and Horatio were very competitive in and out of the job .They were like and old married couple .
Eric was talking to Horatio but before he could finish his sentence ,Ryan was already in Horatio's arms ,hugging him tightly ,he hasn't seen him for the last 3 months since his shooting in Italy .
Ryan was shot by a crazy fan turned stalker while he was on the catwalk .Ryan can still feel the burning pain in his abdomen ,miraculously the bullet had missed all the major organs but it didn't help with the pain at that point .
Ryan remembered waking up in the hospital to find his parents and Horatio who traveled as soon as they had heard the news looking at him concerned ,he tried to assure them that everything was ok but they didn't listen and kept babysitting him .
Ryan can feel Eric's surprise at Horatio's sudden unexpected show of emotion but didn't bring himself to care ."I missed you ." he told Horatio honestly then moved to shake Speed's and Rick's hands .H suggested moving to his office for more privacy ,they complied ,Eric following them
"When did you come back from Italy ?"H asked once they were seated
"Two weeks ago ."Ryan has really wanted to surprise Horatio with his visit as well as to tell him that he has finally accepted his persistent offer of him joining the lab esp. after Speed ahs broken his arm while working on a case and working with H is always an added bonus Rick asked him about Matthew who was 3 years older than Ryan and he worked with their father in the law firm .One of the biggest in the country a fact that Alexander Wolfe was very proud of .
Sometimes Ryan can't still believe that his father can make Horatio and Rick stay in the same place without killing each other and moreover to make them his children's godparents
It was actually really good for Ryan and Matthew to have rivaling godfathers ,each trying to turn them into better men ,comparing their grades and all that
To Ryan ,As a child ,H meant more toys and sweets .as a teenager he was Ryan's confident when he wanted a shoulder to lean on and now is was to be Ryan's boss .
Minutes later ,Alexx and Calleigh came to H's office with some test results and were surprised to see Ryan but not the less happy .
Ryan stayed a little more with Horatio and Rick discussing his job specifics and such "You can start your job tomorrow Ryan , Good Luck ." Rick said shaking Ryan's hand
"Thank you ."Ryan replied sincerely
"Ryan keep in mind that I won't favor you over your colleagues ,ever and I expect the best from you ."Horatio sternly advised
Ryan knew that he had to be very careful while working in the lab because all his mistakes would be blamed on Horatio for hiring him or jokes about his celebrity status and Ryan would never want to but Horatio in such situation .
Ryan made his way to his car but not before winking to the receptionist who turned beet red causing him to smile slightly
Ryan was very happy that he got the job that thoughts about Eric didn't even cross his mind "Tomorrow "Ryan thought "I'll deal with Eric Delko ."
Hay What do you think ?
