-1Another chapter. Ok, this is one is really short, but it's good. Just don't kill me after you read it…

Big Day

The day of the mock wedding came quickly. The team stood inside the church they were using. The 'wedding' had been put in the paper in hopes of attracting the killer.

Ryan stood nervously in the church lobby. He kept adjusting the tuxedo he was wearing. Everybody dressed up to make it look as real as possible. Ryan waited for Calleigh to come out. He looked up as Eric approached him.

Eric patted his shoulder. "You ready for this?"

Ryan nodded. "Yeah." He looked up as Calleigh entered. The sight took his breath away. She looked beautiful in the long, white wedding gown. Her hair was curled and fell over her shoulders. He approached her. "Cal…"

Calleigh smiled. "Hey."

Horatio smiled. "Are we ready?" He opened the doors to the outside. There were volunteers from the lab who also showed up to make the wedding party look bigger.

Ryan took Calleigh's hand and led her out behind the others. "You look beautiful, but the way."

Calleigh smiled. "Thanks." She held Ryan's hand tighter as they went outside. She smiled slightly as the crowd cheered. They walked to the end of the sidewalk and pretended to wait for the limo.

Ryan hugged her and whispered. "Are you ok?"

Calleigh nodded and hugged him back. "Yeah." She looked at Horatio when he motioned for her. "I'll be right back."

Ryan watched her go to Horatio. He looked around as some of the 'guests' walked around and talked to each other in anticipation. He looked to the road, suddenly becoming agitated as he saw a red truck speeding up the road towards the church. He saw the window roll down, and instantly knew it was the shooter. He noticed Calleigh was beginning to walk back. He ran towards her. "Calleigh! Get down!"

He didn't remember much after that. He heard shots fired as he collided with Calleigh. He heard screams. He felt a sharp, stinging pain rip through his side as he and Calleigh tumbled to the ground. He heard the sirens of the squad cars chasing the truck.

He coughed and spit out blood, only to have his mouth fill with it again. He gasped for air. He felt Eric's hand on his shoulder, heard Eric screaming for someone to call and ambulance. He heard Calleigh close by, sobbing.

He forced his eyes open and looked at her. She was safe. "Cal," he choked out.

Calleigh ran her hand through his hair. "Oh, Ryan."

He smiled slightly. "I…l-love you." He closed his eyes, and darkness overtook him.
