Disclaimer: Don't own anything except characters you don't recognize. Everything else belongs to the AWESOME writers of the show. (can you tell the humor in my voice?)

Author's note: Just for the record i did not bring Speedle back just to kill him off again. Honestly would i do that. I can't stand him being dead on the show so there's no way i would keep him away from us in our fan fic's. LOL.

Spoilers: "Lost Son"

They had never heard silence like they did in the emergency room that day. Calleigh was the first one to speak.

"Horatio?"

"Yeah Calleigh?"

"How did this happen? I mean he was dead wasn't he i mean you were there you saw him die. I, I saw his body."

"I know Calleigh I don't know what's going on either."

"So who would know?" asked a nervous Eric.

"Well there's only two people i could think of and as seeing one's in surgery. I think it would be a safe bet to ask Alexx." said Yelina just in time to as Alexx rushed in.

"Oh, my god Horatio, what happend, its all over the news an officer got shot? What happend."

"I don't know i was wondering if you could tell us." said Horatio.

"What do you mean? asked Alexx as she tilted her head to one side.

"Would you care to explain to me how it is that a man that we thought to be dead for the past few months suddenly is walking around and very much alive. Speed's brother's killer pulled a gun out on Calleigh and then guess who saved her?" said Horatio. Alexx shrugged.

"Speed did, put he got shot in the process. Now what were all wondering is how was he able to do that if he was dead. Know i was there when he died. And you did the autopsy so i guess what i'm asking you is if there is anything you wish to tell me Alexx?"

Alexx sighed. "Alright, i to thought he was dead. When the haulers brought his body in and helped me place him on the table. I saw you leave just as i picked up the knife i hesitated i thought that i couldn't operate on my friend. I was just about to leave to go get Monroe when i heard someone say my name. I thought it might be you but Speed was sitting up on the table."

FLASHBACK-------

"Alexx."

"Ye-. Oh my god. Timmy, baby, what, i uh. what's going on?"

"Look Alexx you can't tell anyone, i mean anyone that you saw me alright, if anyone asks you performed the autopsy and then the haulers came and put me in the coffin. Alright."

"Yeah, baby sure but uh, i don't why did you fake your death?" asked Alexx.

"Listen Alexx i would love to tell you where i'm going and what i'm doing but what i am doing could cause all of you your live's and i don't want to do that ok. So you just promise me you'll take care of everyone while i'm gone. Ok?" Alexx nodded.

"Alright, i really gotta go." said Speed putting his clothes back on.

PRESENT-----

"And i swear that's all i know. I couldn't tell you because he asked me not to."

"Alright Alexx." said Horatio as he rubbed her back.

"Wonder what's taking the feds so long to get here." asked Eric. "I mean someone who's working for them gets shot and there not here. That's weird."

"We don't even know if Speed went to go work for the Feds Eric. And knowing the way Speedle is they probably didn't even know he left. Let alone give him permission to leave." said Horatio.

"Uh, excuse me. Lt. Caine?" asked the doctor.

"Yes, that's me." said Horatio standing up.

"Your detective. Speedle. We got him into surgery and i'm afraid he lost alot of blood. And uh-."

"Is he going to be ok?" asked Calleigh tears coming to her eyes again.

"He's going to be just fine." The whole room let out a huge sigh. "But however when the anestia wear's off he might not remember anything." said the doctor.

"Alright, thank you doctor. When can we see him?" asked Eric.

"As soon as we get him into his own room i'll have a nurse come down and take you to him."

S/C S/C S/C -------

''Excuse me doctor that detective that was brought in earlier." said a nervous nurse.

"Yes Julia i remember. Detective Speedle. What's a matter?"

"He keeps screaming for Calleigh."

The doctor sighed. "Alright i think i may know where to find her. Why don't you go tell him that she's on her way." said the doctor as he went towards the waiting room.

S/C S/C S/C-------

"Excuse me are you Calleigh?" asked the doctor.

"Yes is everything alright with Tim."

"No he's fine we finally moved him to a room and he asked for you. Would you like to come and see him?"

Calleigh looked at Horatio and Eric who nodded. "Yeah, i'd like that very much."

"Alright right this way."
