DON'T OWN CSI: MIAMI!!
Horatio drove Bella to the hospital, and they weren't told anything. They sat in the waiting room, and the trauma of the days events finally took their toll on Bella, and she began crying softly. Through her tears she told Horatio about her fight with Eric, and then she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked over and saw Calleigh sitting next to her, and Ryan on the other side of Horatio. Frank and Alexx were standing in front of them, and she smiled watery at them, as Eric had introduced her to them about a year back, and she was good friends with them all, and best friends with Natalia and Calleigh. Then, the doctor came back and said,
"Anyone here for CSI Delko?" They all stood up and the doctor said,
"Well, Mr. Delko was very lucky, the shot missed any vital places by about an eight of an inch." They all sighed and Bella said, her voice trembling,
"So, so, he'll be all right?"
"The outlook is quite good, he has a very good chance of recovering, but it will be a slow process." They all nodded, and Calleigh, sensing Bella's anxiousness, asked,
"May we see him?"
"Well, two visitors at a time will be all right," The doctor conceded, and then walked away. Calleigh immediately said,
"Bella has to go first," They all nodded, and Bella said,
"Can, can I go alone? Please?" They all nodded again, and Bella took off down the hallway. She jerked to a halt outside Eric's door and knocked. His voice, weak, called,
"Come in," She slipped in, and Eric motioned her over. He wrapped his arm around her, and she sobbed out her apology. He soothed her, and then they others came in, two at a time.
Then, Eric passed out and Bella stayed with him. The others trooped out, and Calleigh started talking to them as they walked through the halls.
"So, at the scene, I figured out that the guy who shot Eric was not the one who Bella shot. He's on the run, but he was shot at least twice."
"You sure?" Ryan asked, and Calleigh rolled her eyes before saying,
"Of course I'm sure, but I don't mind if you want to double check my work,"
"No, no, that's all right," Ryan mumbled, and everyone laughed.
