Chapter 12

The world was moving, well that's what Ryan thought as he opened his eyes slowly, he could see he was being carried, over someone's shoulder from the view of the floor he had. The concrete was bouncing up and down, making him feel nauseous as he tilted his head up slightly, peering at the car that he could see in the distance, but all he could tell was that it was metallic blue and had blacked out windows, but before he could check it more his eyesight faded back to the unfocused world of just being able to see the guys, who was carrying him, denim clad ass, and to Ryan it wasn't a very nice one, it wasn't a patch on Eric's, who he idly started to think about in his rainbow world. He should definitely get a closer look at that part of his lover at sometime.

Ryan couldn't help letting a groan out as he was thrown back onto a table, he gasped slightly as his back hit the metal, the noise of the table moving was enough to hide his gasp of pain, but he think they had heard him.

"Be careful" came a yell, a young voice from what Ryan could gather, but his world was going from fuzzy to even fuzzier, he felt a presence near him and he moved his eyes slightly to try and see. He saw a male, and from what he could see some kind of blonde hair, he peered closer to see that it was died and not natural, but a mask hide the rest of his features, he noticed that the mask covering his face was a surgical mask, the same as what Ryan had seen in hospital, but as he focused to try and see more he felt a needle in his arm, he winced and looked up at the man over him, he could feel him leaning closer as he focus was going completely, he mumbled something under his breath as he felt himself go light headed, his eyes closed once more as he drifted off.

This time when Ryan woke from the pain he groaned loudly, he tried to move but a hand held him down, he couldn't help but try and get free, the pain in his stomach was to much.

"He's fucking awake" came a cry as someone moved from his stomach, where the pain was originating from "you bloody miscalculated the drugs"

"No I didn't rocky, I promise" came the call as something pressed against his stomach again, he screamed at the white hot pain that made him shake. "Just hold him down I'm nearly finished". Ryan let out a pained scream again as something was cutting him, he tried to buck but his body was weak and screamed at him to get away, to fight.

"He's strong, Danny get over here and help!" came different voice as it held onto his shoulders.

Ryan tried to focus on the voices but the pounding in his head, and pain in his stomach was to distracting, he tired to move again but there where hands on his hips making his movements small and jerky.

"He's healthy, that run we put him on showed that, I think I might have cracked it this time" came the higher voice from his stomach, was there someone in his stomach or his stomach talking, Ryan's mind wasn't thinking straight as he felt another needle sinking into his arm. "and with his clean medical records, well nothing to worry about in those records he shouldn't reject or have any health issues"

That was the last thing Ryan heard before he once more became unconscious, this time it was a mixture of pain and the drugs.

Ryan shot up and panted hard as he looked around himself, he was in his own room, his hand went down to his stomach running over it but there wasn't any pain only the feel of his sleeping T-shirt against his skin, he took a breath and calmed down, it had been a dream, a very weird and traumatic dream but it had just been that, he looked over to see what had woken up, seeing Blade glaring at him sat beside the alarm clock, that was flashing 9:00, Ryan blinked before realisation kicked in.

"I'm late" he cried as he darted up, running to the shower, jumping in and out to swill himself and throwing his clothes on, not checking himself over or anything as he grabbed his gun, phone and badge. He tried to think of what he had been doing last night, seeing his phone he saw his last call had been his uncle Ron, that was it they had gone drinking.

With that settling his mind he darted out the apartment, throwing some raw steak down for Blade before he did, he locked up, running down to his car, ignoring the slight discomfort in his stomach, telling himself it was a mixture of a hangover and being hungry.

Eric was looking around the lab a confused look on his face.

"Hey Calleigh, we haven't had any case's yet right?" he said as he looked at the small blonde who shook her head.

"Not as I know off, why?" she said looking up from a magazine that was currently occupying her table.

"Ryan……he's not here, I didn't see his car out front either" he said before turning to see his lover rushing into the building, Eric didn't notice the fact that Ryan was late, it was the fact he looked extremely pale and like he had dressed in the dark. He rushed over and took Ryan into his arms so he could look at him. "are you ill?" he demanded, ready to get his lover sent home.

Ryan was panting slightly and shook his head, looking rueful "hangover that's all" he said as he kissed his lover cheek and pulled back "woke up late"

"Mr Wolfe, I trust it wont happen again" came Horatio's voice as he appeared in the reception, Ryan nodded hastily as he blushed, but even that made very little red on his cheeks, before he rushed off to the locker room. Eric glanced at Horatio before taking off after his lover.

"Cachorro, you didn't have that much to drink last night" the Cuban pointed out as he sat watching Ryan fiddle with his locker door. "I know because I brought your drinks"

"I went to Uncle Ron's last night, I don't remember much of it, so we must have got well and truly pissed, and I've got a cab receipt to tell me that I used one to get home" Ryan said as he filled the blanks in his own night with that story. Eric looked at him before pulling him into his arms and hugging him.

"Well you want some painkillers, I have some in my locker" he smiled at Ryan's nod and went to fish them out.

"So how was your family?" Ryan said as he sat don't, closing his eyes slowly as his stomach grumbled loudly. Eric handed him the pills and a bottle of water before leaning against his locker.

"Momma wants to meet you, as does the rest of the family. That's what it was mostly about. They where asking me about you" Eric smiled at the blush that could be seen on Ryan's ears " We're having a family meal in a couple of weeks, so I said I would try and get you there"

Ryan looked at him before nodding slowly " hope they wont be disappointed" he said as he drank the water provided, the pain lessened in his body and he leant back, closing his eyes slightly, he felt his lovers arms go around his shoulders and he was pulled to a strong chest.

"why would they be disappointed, they know your male, work with me, worked in Patrol and saw you last night on the news, though my mother disapproves that you dated Erica" he teased. Ryan groaned and looked at Eric.

"my memory disapproves that I dated Erica" he said as he got himself up to his feet " better get to work before Horatio has to notice the fact I'm late"

Eric's hand wondered over Ryan's ass before he stood, pulling Ryan into a deep kiss, his tongue taking dominance of the younger man's mouth with ease, before pulling back smirking.

"thought we should have a morning kiss" he chuckled before leaving Ryan to gather himself back together.
