Calleigh looked at the scene in front of her. Why had this happend? What did Tim do to deserve this? Why was it that when she was finally happy it had to be ruined with this? Calleigh was startled from her thoughts when Eric put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Calleigh are you sure your ok to work this scene?"

Calleigh hesitated but nodded. "I"m fine Eric. Thanks for asking though." Calleigh put a fake smile on her face and walked over to take more pictures of the convertable.

"What do we got?"

"Car accident. Found him pinned under his Dorango."

"Seat belt?"

"It ripped." The doctor nodded and checked for a pulse.

"Drunk driver?"

"We don't know. CSI'S are handling it."

The doctor nodded once again. "His pulse is faint. He might have fluid in his lungs..ok..let's get him into O.R. 2."

Kevin looked up from his room as they wheeled Tim down to a room. Kevin closed his eyes tightly. "I hit that man."

The doctor who was finishing up Kevin's cast on his leg sighed but didn't say a word. "I shouldn't have been driving."

The doctor looked at him. "You made a bad decision...the police are going to want to talk to you. You might want to watch out for Horatio Caine."

"Why?"

"That's his CSI."

Kevin sighed as he wished it was him going into surgery. Whoever this man was in there he didn't deserve this. No one did.

"Ok..." started Calleigh. "This is what I'm thinking. Tim...was coming around the corner-" Calleigh was cut off by Horatio's cell phone.

"Caine...uh huh...ok...thank you."

"What is it Horatio?"

"That what the hospital."

Calleigh held her breath. "Tim's not..."

"They don't know about Speed yet. They tested the driver poisitve for alcohol. 5 times over the legal limit."

Calleigh closed her eyes. "Damn it!" screamed Calleigh causing everyone to jump. "When are these teenegars going to learn that you don't drink and drive."

Horatio sighed and put his hands on his hips. "Calleigh...are you ok?"

Calleigh nodded. "I'm fine H." Calleigh only called Horatio H when she was upset.

"Ok." said Horatio softly. "Look were all on edge ok. And we all want to know what's up with Speed. But let's figure out what happend here ok." Eric and Calleigh nodded. "OK Calleigh...your theory?"

Calleigh took a deep breath and continued. "Judging by the skid marks on the road Tim hit the brakes. There's only one set. So we know that the convertable didn't stop. Pushing him back and knocking him over the edge his car went airborn...hit the ground and then rolled two...three...five times at the most."

Eric nodded. "And the kids in the convertable probably passed out. 5 times the legal limit they had to be out of it."

"What I don't understand is why'd they get in the car in the first place."

Horatio sighed. "Who knows why people do the things they do. They just do. Look you guys going to be ok here?" Eric and Calleigh nodded. "Ok...you stay here and process. I'm going to go pay a visit to Alexx...and notify family...I'll see you guys back at the lab."

"What do we do about Speedle?"

Horatio sighed and put his sunglasses back on. "We pray."

And they say that a hero can save us.
I'm not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold on to the wings of the eagles.
Watch as we all fly away.

"His pulse is still stable...let's make another incision."

The doctor looked up as the machine started beeping. "Shit he's loosing to much blood. We need to clamp it off. Damn it I can't see anything. I need suction."

The nurse nodded and did as told. The beeping on the machine they had Tim hooked up to began to beep faster. "Were is all this blood coming from?"

"He must be bleeding internaly somewhere." said another doctor.

"We have to find it. If we don't he'll die. Tim...listen to me if you can here me...you gotta stay with us ok. You just hang on."

"Alexx?"

"Hi Horatio." said Alexx softly. Horatio recognized that tone. Alexx only spoke that softly when her Timmy was injured.

"What do we got Alexx?"

"Well he wasn't wearing his seat blet. Plus being in a convertable with the top down doesn't help matters."

"Did you send his blood to tox?"

Alexx nodded. "This baby was 4 times over the legal limit. Underage to. Didn't find any i.d. so i identified him through dental records. James Hopkins 18."

"Notify parents?"

"There on there way down." started Alexx. "You talk to the hospital?"

Horatio sighed. "He's in surgery."

Alexx sighed and put the sheet over James' head. "All because they had to drink and drive."

"Why'd you do it?" asked Frank as he starred at Kevin in the interrogation room. When Kevin didn't answer Frank continued. "Look you can either answer to me. Or I can gurantee you that there are four other people who would like to see you hung for this so what's it going ot be?"

Kevin still didn't answer but starred out the window. Frank sighed as Horatio walked in. "Frank...I'll take it from here."

Frank looked at Kevin and then at Horatio, nodded. And left. "I'm sorry Lt."

"You should have thought about that before you took the keys."

"I just graduated ok...I wanted to celebrate."

"Yes...and because you wanted to celebrate you killed your friend and hurt a police officer."

"Is he dead?"

"We don't know yet. But for your sake...you better hope he's not."

PRESENT----

"Tim don't struggle ok. Just take your time."

"Yeah well you tell me that when its you in my position."

"Tim..."

"Zack."

"Your not going to make this any easier on me are you?"

"Not a chance."

Zack laughed lightly. "You ready to take a step?"

Tim nodded and moved his right leg slowly. He stepped down and hissed in pain. "I can't it hurts."

"You have to try."

Tim sighed but pressed down on the foot anyways.

FLASHBACK----

"Damn it I can't see anything!" yelled Tim's surgeon in frustration. "Where is all the blood coming from!"

"I found it."

"Where is it?"

"Its coming form his Spleen."

"Must have ruptured in the crash...why didn't we notice this before?"

"To much blood."

Doctor Carter and Doctor Lewis came out of the O.R. to find Horatio, Calleigh , Eric, and Alexx in the waiting room.

"Who's family?"

"We all are."

Doctor Carter sighed. "Are you his Lt.?"

"Yes...is he ok."

"Well he lost alot of blood...he was bleeding and we couldn't figure out were." stated Doctor Lewis.

"But we finally found it. His Spleen had ruptured. We removed it and it seemed to make his heart rate go back up. Once we were able to stop the blood flow."

Horatio nodded. "Anything else?"

"From being pinned under his car it broke his right leg. And fractured his left leg in 5 places. If he does make it out of the coma. It would be a miracle if he walks again."

"Can we see him?"

"He can't respond verbally. But he may be able to move his hand. I'm not going to try and spare you. He looks pretty bad. I suggested you go in there one at a time."

Horatio nodded. "Thank you Doctors."

Both doctors muttered a 'sure' and headed down the hall. Horatio had a feeling they were on there way to the hospitals chapel.

"Cal...sweetheart why don't you go in first?"

Calleigh shook her head. "No um...I need to go clear my head before I go in...you guys go ahead. I'll just be a minute."

Horatio sighed. He knew exactly what she meant by. 'I need to go clear my head.'. He just hoped she wouldn't regreat it.

TBC...Please review. Thank you.
