^^Meanwhile at Horatio's house^^
Tom was looking at the books on the shelf when he heard someone fall out of bed. He turned and saw Bo getting up off the floor.
"Bo? You alright?"
"Gonna be sick." Tom helped him up and walked him to the bathroom. When he was done getting sick, Bo sat on the floor leaning against the wall.
"Beauregard, are you always this sick after a treatment?"
"No. I'm usually sick and dizzy but it only lasts for a couple hours after I wake up. This time it's worse."
"I'm thinking they gave you too much albuterol. Seeing that you're shaking so much and not feeling well." Tom stood up and told Bo. "I'm going to get you something for your stomach."
When Horatio came home he heard Tom talking to someone in the bathroom. He walked to the bathroom and saw Bo sitting on the floor with Tom next to him.
"Here, drink this. It will calm your stomach." Tom handed Bo a glass of coke.
"Thanks." Bo took the glass with shakey hands and started to drink.
"Is everything alright?" Bo glanced up at Horatio.
"Those treatments always make me sick."
"I heard you refused the treatment and they sedated you as a result."
"If they would have given me an inhaler like I asked, I wouldn't have needed the treatment in the first place." Bo replied as he leaned his head back against the wall. A couple minutes later, Bo started to cough. He quickly made his way back to the toilet and got sick.
"Tom, is it normal for someone to be that sick after a nebulizer treatment?"
"No, it's not. Did you get me the supplies?"
"I did." When Bo got done getting sick, he once again sat against the wall. Ten minutes later, Tom noticed that Bo was dozing off.
"Let's get you back to bed." Bo opened his eyes and looked at Tom.
"Still alittle dizzy."
"We'll walk slow, alright?"
"Yeah, where's Luke?"
"He's asleep." Horatio replied.
"Really?"
"You both had enough toxin in your system, I'm surprised your both still alive."
"What happened to our truck?"
"It's drying out in our lab garage area. It will be released from the lab in the next couple of days. Depending on the evidence we find." Horatio answered.
"Does it still run?"
"Yes. Our mechanic got it running like new."
"Thanks."
"You said eariler that you came down here about a horse. Did you have a horse trailer with you?"
"Of course we did."
"What color was it?"
"White. Had Duke Farm painted in red paint underneath the tonge." Horatio smiled, he now knew that they may in fact have found the trailer.
"What do you remember about last night?"
"To be honest with you, not a damn thing. We pulled up to Miss Channing's house, got out of the truck and that's it."
"Oky, I'll let you rest." They both helped Bo to the guest room and helped him into bed.
"Bo, seeing that you can't keep fluids down. I'm going to give you an IV." Bo held out his arm and Tom got the IV situated.
"Thanks." They went to the kitchen and talked as Horatio started dinner.
"Tom, is Bo going to be alright?"
"Yes, I think they gave him too much albuterol. That's why he's sick and shaking so much."
"Should I be worried?"
"No, I gave him an IV that should help. Have you gotten any closer to find out who did this to them?"
"No, but we find the trailer, we find the people responsible for what happened to them."
"Over a horse? That seems extreme."
"Not really, Tom. You would be surprised what people are capable of doing."
"I shouldn't be, seeing the line of work I'm in." They sat down and ate dinner. After they ate, Horatio called the lab to check on the horse. Tom waited until Horatio hung up.
"How's the horse?"
"Terry ran a tox screen. Said the horse was dopped with xylazine."
"Why?"
"I'm thinking that someone wanted the horse to seem slower in the smaller races." When Tom gave Horatio a confused look, he added. "Slow down a horse in the beginning and you have a long shot to win the bigger payout races."
"If he becomes a long shot to win and he does, the payout would be enormous." Tom added.
"That is correct." They talked for a couple hours before they headed for bed.
The next morning Luke woke up to the smell of bacon and eggs. He sat up and looked over at Bo, who was just waking up.
"Morning Bo." Bo looked at him and smiled.
"Morning." Bo looked around the room and noticed Tom by the doorway.
"Morning, Tom."
"I was just going to check on you two. How are you feeling?" Bo shrugged his shoulders and replied. "Feel alittle dizzy, but I'll be alright."
"And you, Lukas?"
"Got a headache but I'll be fine."
"Are you two hungry?" Bo shook his head.
"Alittle." Luke replied. They went to the kitchen and sat at the table. They noticed the pictures that Horatio set down. Several minutes later, Walter walked into the room with Horatio. Bo picked up one of the pictures and replied.
"I see you found our trailer." Walter looked at Horatio then Bo.
"Wait a minute, you're saying that white trailer belongs to you?"
"Looks like it. Can't be sure by this picture but it has Duke Farm painted in red under the tongue of the trailer." Bo showed Luke the picture of the trailer.
"Where did you find it?"
"In the barn next to the other trailers."
"Why do you have it?" Luke asked Walter as he took a bite of toast.
"We were allowed to take the horse, for evidence."
"Where's the horse?" Bo asked.
"At our lab. Don't worry, a vet tec is with him."
"Is he alright?"
"He was dopped with xylazine." Bo looked at Luke.
"We had nothing to do with that. He was checked out by a vet before she took possession of him. Blood tests included."
"I believe you Bo. I think she dopped him for a higher payout."
"Why would she do that, then call Bo and demand he pick him up?" Luke asked Walter.
"Unless it wasn't her that did it." Walter answered.
