"Horatio, you are such a sweet man. You could never be evil."

Those were the words spoken by Calleigh Duquesne. Horatio had asked her if she thought he could be evil. Calleigh had no idea how evil Horatio could really be. Cooper and Ryan would experience his evil today.

He had let Cooper worry about becoming the victim of a prank for three weeks since the snake-incident. Cooper was now beginning to think that Horatio wouldn't have revenge. He was so wrong. The reason Ryan would become a victim was simple; he was Cooper's partner in the war after all. He would not be shown mercy.

To set up Horatio's prank required an awful lot of planning so that nobody else would become a victim except the two younger men. Horatio had planned his revenge for two weeks. He was just waiting for the perfect case to send Ryan out on and have Cooper go with him. Today that case had finally come. As sad as it was when somebody died, it was the perfect opportunity for Horatio to set his plan in motion. The case required dumpster diving for both men and Cooper had been told he had to go with Ryan to the scene because it would be good training for him.

When the two men got back they took a shower. Above Cooper's locker there was a bucket. And while the boys showered Horatio would put another bucket over the locker room door and hope that Ryan was the first one to leave. While in the shower Cooper complained about how bad he smelled.

"I can't get any chicks smelling like this." He whined.

"You can't get any chicks anyway." Ryan teased.

"Yes I can." Cooper said, "You just haven't seen the Coopmeister in action yet."

"Coopmeister?"

"Yeah, it's what I call myself to the ladies." Cooper smirked.

"And it works?"

"They think I'm cute."

"Yeah, but how many girls actually want to go home with you?" Ryan asked.

"Well um… uh… Aren't you done yet?" Cooper asked, changing the subject.

Ryan smirked and continued to tease Cooper as they finished showering and went to their lockers. Ryan opened his locker.

"Cooper's got no girlfriend." Ryan teased, "Cooper's got no girlfriend, Cooper's got no girlfriend, Cooper's got no girlfriend."

"But you do?" Cooper smirked.

He took Ryan's silence as a no and opened his locker.

"WHAT THE?" He exclaimed when he felt something pour down his body and inside his clothes.

He felt the bucket land on his head and lifted it up. Immidiately he started to itch.

"What the hell was in that?" Ryan asked.

"Itching powder!" Cooper exclaimed and scratched as much as he could, "Ryan, scratch my back!"

Ryan was too busy laughing to help and Cooper was on his own in his fight against the itch.

"Man, what do I do?" Cooper asked, "Ryan stop laughing!"

"I can't!" Ryan laughed and continued getting dressed, "Look's like H finally got his revenge."

Cooper groaned and watched as Ryan left. Ryan opened the locker room door and nearly jumped out of his skin as a cold liquid poured down inside his clothes, down his back and inside his pants.

"COLD!" Ryan exclaimed and looked inside the bucket that had landed on the floor.

"What is it?" Cooper asked, trying not to laugh.

"Very cold tomato sauce." Ryan groaned.

Ryan could hear somebody laughing and opened the door to peak outside. He saw Frank and Horatio doubled over from laughing so hard.

"H! Why take it out on me?" Ryan whined.

"You're Cooper's partner!" Horatio laughed.

Ryan sighed and looked at his clothes, "We'll have our vengeance H!"
