Chapter Two: Advantages
Alex Woods waited for Ryan to arrive at the hospital. Horatio was shot, and she needed to declare him "Dead."Alex wasn't to sure about this plan, she was nervous and afraid of the consequences that may stem from her dishonesty. But Horatio was her friend, and he was fighting for something that she can relate to:his child's safety. In the distance she noticed the Hummer speeding towards the hospital, and her heart began to race, she did not know what to expect, she was almost terrified to see a shot and injured Horatio Caine.
Horatio felt like he was dying, and wondered when he was going to get help. Ryan kept yelling for Horatio to hold on, and quite frankly it was getting annoying. He closed his eyes for a moment, and thought about the past year, anything to get his mind off the pain. This year had been filled with a lot of surprises and disappoints ranging from his wifes death to Kyle. After Marsiols death, Horatio thought nothing could ever take away the grief, then Kyle showed up, and he has been the remedy to a broken heart. Now Horatio was scarficing his body, so that Kyle can have life. His happiness rested on Kyle's happiness, and after all, isn't that always the case.
Ryan was pulling into the hosptail's emergerency section, when he saw Alexx standing there, he was almost relieved when he saw her. Ryan stoped the hummer, and got out, motioning for Alexx and the two nurses with her to help him get Horatio out the car. Once Horatio was placed in the wheelchair, Ryan pulled out his phone and called Calleigh, it was time for the other CSI'S to know what was going on.
Kyle was calm, staring out the window, he thought back to the arguement he had with Horatio before he was supposed to meet him at the airstrip:
"Kyle, I need to talk to you."
"This looks serious."
"It is serious."
"Is it about Ron again?"
"It's about Ron, now listen to me I need you and your mother to leave the country for awhile."
"Awhile how long is a while?"
"For a long as it takes."
"Look, it took me my entire life to meet you, now you want to send me away."
"Someday you will understand what I'm doing."
"That's what they all say, then their just gone."
"I need you to trust me."
"Yea, they all say that too."
It wasn't so much the words that hurt Kyle, it was his actions and the look he gave his father. He had walked away from him, without letting Horatio explain himself. Thinking back now, he always walks away from his father, and he now regrets it. Kyle didn't know what was going to happen, what was going to be his fate and the fate of his father.
Ron had just gotten off the phone with Manny. The hit was completed, Horatio Caine was lying in a pool of his own blood. Now his plan needed to be implemented, and by the end of the week, Julia and Kyle were going to be dead.
Julia was on her way to the crime lab, she was angry and she wanted to speak to Horatio. She knew Horatio put Kyle on the plane, and shipped him off to some place. She was going to make Horatio tell her where Kyle was going, and if he didn't Horatio would lose the right to call Kyle son, and she meant it. Arriving at the crime lab, Julia parked her car, and walked into the lab angry, the first person she saw was Calleigh.
PART TWO
Horatio heard her voice, he heard Alexx's voice, and he tried to respond. He thought he was talking, matter of fact he knew he was talking, telling her where the bullet entered and how he wanted everything to work out. His wounds were burning and he just wanted all the pain to go away, one thing was for sure, once he got Ron, Horatio was going on a much needed vacation.
Alexx was trying to get Horatio to stop trying to talk. He was talking gibberish and they were trying to put a tube in. Once they finally had him sedated, Alexx ordered the nurses to leave the room, she was going to declare him dead herself, and she didn't need any witnesses.
