Appendicitis chapter 5
Emily sighed as she leaned back in her chair in the Trace lab she liked to call home.
It had been two weeks since the surgery and she had just returned to fieldwork today.
Her stitches would be coming out tomorrow, and by next week she would be finished with her antibiotics. She would be glad to finally put all of this behind her.
She smiled as she turned up the music on her iPod and began to sing along.
'It's just another day in paradise…'
Eric and Ryan both heard her singing, the sound of her voice leaking into the hallway. Looking into the Lab they could see Emily in her customary chair. Her back was facing towards them, and she was completely unaware of their presence.
Eric looked at Ryan, who grinned.
This was just too good to be true.
The tiptoed into the room, carefully sneaking up behind her.
They took her by surprise and began tickling her mercilessly.
Her shouts of surprise and shrieks of laughter were heard by Horatio as he walked by.
He looked in the Trace lab, to find Emily had just whacked Eric a good one on the back of the head, but was unable to fight Ryan off.
He smiled as he walked away. Things were definitely getting back to normal around here.
