Past Catches Up
Part 3
Roxanne was about to say something when Speed's phone went off. He looked down at the id and laughed.
"What is it," asked Horatio.
"It looks like Stetler got smart and decided to call me back," said Speed.
"Answer it," said Roxanne.
"Speed," said Speed as he answered his phone.
"How is it that you're alive? I thought you died years ago," said Stetler.
"Do you really want to know why I'm alive," asked Speed.
"Yes," said Stetler.
"Okay. Come to my old place. I'll tell you everything when you get here," said Speed.
"Okay. Does anyone else know you're alive," asked Stetler.
"Yes. Horatio and Roxanne know. They're here. I'll talk to you when you get here," said Speed.
"See you in a few minutes," said Stetler as he hung up.
"Are you sure it was the right thing to let Stetler know you're alive," asked Horatio.
"I know you don't like the guy, but I'm sure it was the right thing to do," said Speed.
A few minutes later there was a knock on the door. Horatio walked to the door and answered it.
"Stetler. Come on in," said Horatio as he moved aside.
"Thanks. I still can't believe Speed is alive," said Stetler.
"Well, you better believe it," said Speed as he walked up to Stetler.
"Oh, wow. I'm not seeing things. How are you alive," asked Stetler in shock.
So, Speed told Stetler everything that happened.
"You two were undercover," asked Stetler.
"Yes. I was undercover for feds to help them figure out what Antonio Riaz was up to. When Horatio and Eric came to Brazil and killed Antonio, the feds took me off the case. I ran into Speed and he told me he needed my help with trying to figure out who wanted him dead. We suspected you at first because we knew you didn't like Horatio," said Roxanne.
"I would never do something like that," said Stetler.
"We know that now. We think Judge Ratner and Kurt Rossi are behind this, but we don't know how," said Speed.
"How come you think Rossi is behind this," asked Stetler.
"He had disks with information about everybody in the lab, including you. He was going to use it against us. He was going to send out the information to everyone in Miami and make them not trust us anymore," said Horatio.
"What kind of stuff did he have on us," asked Stetler.
"Stuff about our personal lives," said Horatio.
"I knew that guy was bad news, but I didn't think he was that bad," said Stetler.
"Well, he is and we have to find a way to stop him. First, we have to tell the others that Speed is alive," said Horatio.
"Are you sure that's a good idea," asked Stetler.
"I'm sure. The more people we have the better our chances will be at finding out what Rossi and Ratner have planned," said Horatio.
"When are you going to tell the others," asked Stetler.
"I'm going to find a weekend where we're all not working and have them come here and tell them," said Horatio.
"Sounds like a plan to me. I'll help any way I can," said Stetler.
"We appreciate it. We need all the help we can get," said Roxanne.
"I still can't believe you were undercover," said Stetler in disbelief.
"Well, you better get use to it," said Roxanne with a smile.
"I will. Anyways, I better get back to work before they become suspicious. I'll talk to you later," said Stetler.
"Talk to you later," said Roxanne as she, Horatio, and Speed watch him leave.
"I should be going too. I need to check up on the team. I'll keep in touch," said Horatio.
"Okay. You do that. Do you mind dropping me off at Calleigh's place," asked Roxanne.
"Sure. I think I can do that," said Horatio.
"Okay," said Roxanne as she and Horatio left Speed's old place.
After Horatio dropped Roxanne off at Calleigh's place he headed back to the lab.
"Hey Horatio. What are you doing here," asked Calleigh.
"I had some things I needed to get, and I thought I would check up on all of you," said Horatio.
"Okay. It's kind of slow here as you can tell. Nothing too exciting going on," said Calleigh.
"That's good. I have a favor to ask all of you," said Horatio.
"Okay. What is it," asked Ryan.
"I want all of you to come to Speed's old place one weekend we're not working," said Horatio.
"Why do you want us to come there," asked Eric.
"Roxanne and I have something we need to tell all of you," said Horatio.
"Okay. We'll be there. We don't have to work next weekend," said Calleigh.
"Okay. I'll see you guys later," said Horatio as he walked off.
"That was weird. What do you think they want to tell us," asked Ryan.
"I don't know. I want to know why he wants us to go to Speed's old place. It doesn't make any sense," said Eric.
"I guess we'll find out next weekend," said Calleigh.
"I guess so," said Eric.
"Hopefully it's some good news," said Ryan.
"I hope so," said Calleigh.
"Do you think those two are finally together," asked Ryan.
"It's kind of obvious that they are," said Eric.
"Anyways, we'll see in due time," said Calleigh as she walked back to the ballistics lab.
