Ello! Sorry it toke so long. I tried to get it in on Friday, but it didn't work out. Saturday, I was a bit busy, we'll just say. So here is the new chapter. I hope you enjoy. Mistakes are mine, nothing else really, but a few people you don't really know. CSI Miami and the cast is not one of the things I own. CC is welcome and I love reviews. *smiles* Now here is the chapter.
Ryan let out a struggled moan. Horatio heard it well. Ryan didn't sound too good. In all honesty, Horatio didn't feel good either. "H?"
Horatio heard the weak call. He began to slowly get closer to Ryan. "Right here Mr. Wolfe. Right here."
"Horatio, they toke too much." Ryan looked weak at this moment.
"It's ok. Come on, let me help you up." He help Ryan sit up.
"H, we have to get out of here."
"I know."
"They're going to kill you. They told me, especially the partner." Ryan shivered. He was beginning to freak.
"Calm down Mr. Wolfe." Ryan was panicking now. "Mr. Wolfe, Mr. Wolfe. Ryan!" Ryan calmed down a little when he heard his name. "Don't panic. We'll get out of here. We just have to work together, ok?" Ryan nodded. "Good. Let's look around. If we can't get out on our own, Calleigh will come. She's very good about this kind of thing."
"This is different. Way too different. Something is way wrong about this situation. There is more to it than meets the eye. I just don't know what." Horatio didn't know how to respond to these words. "H, I'm tired."
"I know, but I need to stay awake a little longer. We need to see if we can get out of here." Then there were footsteps outside. The door slammed open.
"Glad to see you're awake, though Wolfe looks a little down." Horatio gave a glare. "Fantastic. I can't wait till you're one of us. You'll be a wonderful asset."
"No matter what happens, I'm only loyal to family."
"Why, you have so little?" There was a smirk on the monsters face.
"He has more than you think." Ryan whispered.
The vampire before them pushed Horatio aside and grabbed Ryan by the collar. "And who would that be?" He hated being talked back to usually, but this was an exception. He liked the spark these two had. It made them interesting. 'No wonder the blonde loves them so much.' "Well?"
"He has his friends." was Ryan's weak response, though it was true.
"Well, I hope he learns to let 'em go."
"Not even in your lifetime."
This only made the male vampire smile more. "How lovely, two fighters."
"I told you the redhead was." The partner added.
"Shut it. I know, and you're still an idiot in my eyes." He lifted Ryan's head. Though he could see he was tired, there was a fire in Ryan's eyes. He knew he had the right Wolfe.
"Calleigh."
"Yes Mrs. Wolfe."
"It's not your fault."
"What?"
"My son being taken. I knew this was going to happen someday. I just wish I could help him." Lily felt so weak. They wouldn't let here out of the hospital, a place that held many bad memories for her, even if it wasn't the same one. "I regret telling never telling Ryan."
"Telling him what?"
"About his father. You know, he's still alive, right."
"But Ryan always said he died."
"That's what I told him. He believes his brother has the same father as him."
"Who is his father?"
"He was such a good man. You know, he left before he knew about Ryan. Left to protect me. Funny, it was when I needed him most, and he left."
Calleigh noticed how she dodged her question. She obviously wasn't going to answer it yet. "Did you get a chance to tell him?"
"Strangely enough, no. He never knew which is why I never resented him."
"What was his name?" Calleigh decided to give it one more try.
Lily smiled at the female vampire next to her. "I see you're curious. Ryan's very private, isn't he, though he has an outgoing appearance?" Calleigh looked surprised. "Remember, I'm his mother. He has always been that way. So much like his father. Strange how he never met the man, yet they act so much alike."
"Do you still love him?"
"Who, Ryan's father?" Lillian gave a sad look. "Yes, I'll always love him, even more than his brothers' father."
"Does his brother know?"
"In a way, yes. They're both observant. They get that from me, just in different ways."
"He has your eyes."
"That was his fathers' favorite part about me."
Eric walked up to the door. "Calleigh, can you come here for a second."
"Sure, I'll be there in a minute."
"Ok, I'll wait out here."
"Don't keep him waiting. He's going to help you in the long run."
Calleigh smiled. "I know."
"I'm sad that my son didn't talk about you more."
Calleigh's smile fell a bit. 'He never talked about us.'
"Go on, you'll make him old waiting."
Calleigh met Eric outside. "What is it Eric?"
"John thinks he has a lead."
"A lead! That's good. We have to hurry." Eric nodded and they left the hospital.
"You have a lead John?"
"Of course, why wouldn't I? I don't say such things for kicks."
"Well, what is it?"
They happened to be at Ryan's home. "I believe they went in that direction."
"Believe? That's not really helpful."
"They left a secondary trail they didn't know about. They didn't realize I would be helping you. Either that or they didn't know I was older than I look."
"We're all older than we look."
"Come on, we must follow the trail."
"Hold on, what about me?" Eric wasn't exactly supernatural.
"Eric, I want you to go back to the hospital and watch Ryan's mother." Eric accepted this task. Calleigh and John went on to follow the trail. Hopefully, it will lead them to Ryan and Horatio. Hopefully, they would be on time.
