Summary: Someone is watching.
Author's note: This is AU H is still with CSI but Speed is blind due
to congenital glaucoma and owns several nightclubs in Miami. This was
supposed to be just one story *headdesk* but when I started to write
my brain went haywire, so there will be more.
Speed woke up, stretched his hand out searching for his lover and
growled when he only found cold sheets, "early morning," he sighed.
He got out of bed and smiled when he felt a wet nose brushing his
hand, ""you're not H but you will do for now," he scratched the dog
behind his ear, "good morning boy." Butch started to whine, "okay let
me get some pants on."
He got dressed and walked down the hallway towards the kitchen, opened
the patio door and Butch ran out into the back yard. Speed walked over
to the computer and opened it, hit a key and Horatio's voice filled
the room, 'I'm sorry I had to go we have a case, you come over for
lunch? I love you, H.'
Speed smiled, sat down and answered the mail. He cocked his head when
he heard Butch bark, he only did that when something wasn't right and
Speed had learned to relay on Butch' instinct. He stood and walked
back to the kitchen and went outside. "Butch what's wrong boy?"
Butch kept barking and Speed got worried, he knew he just needed to
call Brian there neighbour. He took his cell out and was about to call
him when he heard his voice, "Speed everything okay?" the young man
walked up to him.
"Not sure, Butch keeps barking."
"I'll have a look around, stay here," the fact that Brian was also a
bouncer at one of his clubs was a plus, he was very masculine and had
a black belt in karate. "What the fuck," he heard him curse.
"Brian you're okay?"
The man returned a minute later, "yeah but someone was watching the house."
"What? Who?"
"I couldn't see who it was, but it was an SUV. You're going to call H?"
Speed shook his head, "could be nothing I don't want to worry him."
"Okay listen I don't have to go to work till seven tonight, I'll keep
an eye out."
"Thanks Brian," Speed smiled.
"Hey you sign my check every month, it's the least I can do boss."
Speed smirked, "smart ass."

Speed walked into the lab at lunch time, "Mr. Speedle good to see
you," Paula greeted him.
"Hi Paula is he in his office?"
"Yeah you can go right up, he's waiting for you."
Speed ordered Butch to walk forward to the elevators. He didn't had to
wait long till one stopped on the ground floor, it opened and he got
on. He wasn't alone and he smelled perfume. "Where do you need to go?"
she asked.
He recognised that voice, it was Ms. Boa Vista, "Horatio's office
please." Butch started to growl, "Butch silent," he ordered but smiled
his dog had always been a good judge of character. It was very
obvious he didn't like her.
"Where here," she said.
"Thank you," he exited the elevator and tried to get his bearings. He
listened to the noises and smiled when he recognised Calleighs voice.
She looked up and saw him, "Speed good to see you." She walked up to
him and kissed him on the cheek.
"Calleigh, how are you?"
"Fine, he is in trace. You want to see him?"
"Yeah that would be great," she took his hand and lead him towards the lab.
"Look who I found," she said when they walked in.
"Speed, just give me a few more minutes okay?" Horatio walked over to
him and gave his arm a quick squeeze.
"Yeah sure," Speed smiled.
"So Mr. Wolfe you will look into those, okay?"
"Sure thing H." He walked up to Speed, "we haven't met yet, I'm Ryan
Wolfe. The other day when you where in the lab I was in the field and
I couldn't make it to the club last weekend."
"Nice meeting you," he shook the young man's hand. "And we'll take a
rain check on the club."
"That would be great," Ryan said.
"Okay people if you don't need me at this moment Speed and I going to
have some lunch, see you all later."
"Yeah sure H you two have fun," Calleigh said.
They where having lunch in one of there favourite restaurants but H
noticed that Speed was very quiet, "Speed everything okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine," he smiled but H wasn't fooled by that.
"Speed what's going on?"
Speed sighed, he should have known he couldn't keep anything from his
lover he was a CSI, "Brian thought that someone was watching the
house."
"What, and you didn't call me?" Speed could feel that H was glaring at him.
"I didn't want you to get worried, it could be nothing."
"Or it could be something," H stated.
"But who would be watching the house?"
H thought about it, "I don't know, someone I put in jail." Now he
really got worried, what if that was true.
"so what are we going to do about it?"
"I will see if I can arrange for a patrol car to canvas the
neighbourhood and have them watch our house."
"Okay but get one thing strait I'm not going to be a prisoner in my own house."
"No of course not, we can have Brian drive you to and from work, okay?"
Speed sighed, "okay."
H stroke his cheek, "forgive me for being worried about you I can't
help it." He knew Speed didn't like to be depending on others for
help. But he just wanted to protect him and if it was someone he put
behind jail Speed just had to tough it out.
THE END???
