Horatio's Girl
Part 3
A few hours later Roxanne headed back to Calleigh's place. Roxanne started to feel guilty about going over to Horatio's place after she had talked to Speed.
"How am I suppose to go over there and look him in the eye knowing a former colleague of his is still alive. I can't do this, not after talking to Speed. Maybe I should call Speed back and ask him what I should do," thought Roxanne as she pulled out her cell phone and dialed Speed's number.
"Hey. Didn't I just talk to you," asked Speed.
"Hi. I wanted your opinion on something. I'm suppose to be going to Horatio's place. I don't know if I can do that now. I don't if I can look him in the eye and know that you're alive and he doesn't know," said Roxanne with a frustrated sigh.
"I think you should still go, just don't tell him I'm alive," said Speed.
"Easy for you to say. You're in hiding. I actually have to be face-to-face with him tonight. I'll try not to tell him, but if it slips than I'm sorry in advanced," said Roxanne.
"Okay. By the way, whose house are you staying at? I went to your place last night and it was empty," said Speed.
"I'm staying at Calleigh's place until I can find a place of my own," said Roxanne.
"Why don't you stay at my old place? Nobody has lived there since I 'died'," said Speed.
"Are you crazy?! If I stay there then they will be suspicious of me," said Roxanne.
"You're right, my bad. Sorry," said Speed.
"Anyways, I'll find a place. I'm just worried about you. How are you holding up," asked Roxanne.
"I want to tell them so bad. I just want to show up at the lab and tell them everything, but I know I can't do that," said Speed.
"You'll find the right time to tell them. Just like I'll find the right time to tell Horatio and the others about Sanchez and his connection to the Mala Noches. It'll all work out in the end somehow," said Roxanne.
"Yeah, hopefully H and the others won't hate me for hiding all these years," said Speed.
"They'll understand why you had to do it. You were trying to find the traitor, who we know is now. I don't think they could hate you. They will probably hate me for not telling them about Sanchez and who he really is. Anyways, I have to get ready to go to Horatio's. I'll talk to you again in a few days," said Roxanne.
"Okay. You be careful around Stetler. He's a sneaky one," said Speed.
"I know. I can handle Stetler just fine. Don't worry about me. Talk to you later," said Roxanne.
"Talk to you later," said Speed.
When Horatio got home the first thing he noticed was that Roxanne had arrived at his house. The second thing he noticed was that she had cooked dinner for the both of them.
"Hi there handsome. I see you're home early just like you said you would," said Roxanne as she came out of the kitchen area.
"Yes. I see you've made dinner. Smells really good," said Horatio.
"I hope you're really hungry because I cooked us a big meal," said Roxanne.
"Yes. I'm very hungry. I didn't get to eat much lunch today," said Horatio with a smile.
"Good. Now, go sit down," said Roxanne.
"Do you want me to help you," asked Horatio.
"I can handle it, but if I need help I'll tell you," said Roxanne with a smile.
"Okay. Just holler if you need me," said Horatio as he went to sit down.
A few minutes later Roxanne had everything on the table. "Oh, wow! You really out did yourself. Everything looks wonderful," said Horatio with amazement.
"Thank you. I hope it tastes as good as it looks," said Roxanne as she pulled up to the table. "So, how was your day at the park," asked Horatio.
"It was great. I met a friend of mine that I haven't seen in a while. He's here on vacation with his wife. He was just as surprise to see me. After I spent a couples hours at the park I decided to have lunch at a nearby restaurant. The food was delicious. After that I went to Calleigh's place to get ready to come here and fix us dinner," said Roxanne.
"Wow! Sounds like you had an eventful day," said Horatio.
"Yeah, I guess you could say I did. How was your day," asked Roxanne.
"It was alright I guess. We had two callouts for DB's and then I had to fill out paper work. My least favorite thing about this job, but somebody's got to do it I guess," said Horatio.
"Yup. And you're the perfect person for the job," said Roxanne with a laugh.
"Yeah, right. I did almost chew Stetler's head off today. I almost forgot about that," said Horatio.
"What did he do to make you want to chew his head off," asked Roxanne.
"The usual snooping around trying to find something wrong with the lab," said Horatio.
"He's such an ass. He needs to get a life," said Roxanne.
"Yeah. You're right about that. He said he wanted to make a amends, but I didn't believe him. He's so full of himself sometimes," said Horatio.
"Yeah. He sounds like he is. I'm glad I haven't met him. I would tell him off so fast he won't know what hit him," said Roxanne with a smirk.
"I would love to see that. That would make my day," said Horatio with a laugh also.
After dinner Horatio and Roxanne sat down on the couch. "Dinner was excellent. I'll have to get you to cook me dinner more often," said Horatio.
"It would be my pleasure. I'm glad you liked it. I was afraid you wouldn't," said Roxanne.
"I very much liked it. You know your way around a kitchen pretty well," said Horatio with a boyish smile.
"Thanks. I had to learn from a young age to do things differently than others. I guess it helped that I was independent at a young age also," said Roxanne with a smile.
"Yes. It does seem that helped you out a lot. You're great at what you do," said Horatio.
"Thanks. That means a lot to me. Does Stetler know about me," asked Roxanne.
"Kind of. He thinks you're staying here with me. He doesn't know you're staying with Calleigh. I would like to keep it that way until you find a place of your own," said Horatio.
"Okay. I was just wondering. I don't want you to get into any trouble," said Roxanne.
"I won't get into any trouble. You let me worry about Stetler," said Horatio as he kissed the top of Roxanne's head.
"Okay. I'll let you worry about Stetler, but if he starts any crap I want to tell him off," said Roxanne with a smirk.
"I'll think about it," said Horatio.
Roxanne was worried that Stetler would try to find out about her. She didn't want him to find out about her past. "If he finds out about my past and tells Horatio, he'll never want to speak to me ever again. I can't let that happen," thought Roxanne to herself as she leaned on Horatio's chest. They stayed like that until Roxanne's cell phone went off. She looked at the caller id and rolled her eyes.
"What does he think he's doing calling me," thought Roxanne to herself. She sat up and got in her wheelchair.
"I'm sorry. I have to take this call," said Roxanne as she looked at Horatio.
"It's okay. I'm going to change into something comfortable," said Horatio.
"Okay," said Roxanne as she answered her phone.
"Hello," said Roxanne in a bit of annoyance.
"Hey. Did I interrupt something," asked Speed.
"Yeah. I was having a nice quiet time with Horatio when you called. What do you want," asked Roxanne.
"Whoa. Sorry I asked. I just wanted to make sure you went through with it. When you called me earlier you sounded like you weren't going to do it even after our talk," said Speed.
"I know, but I thought about it and I did it. Is that all you wanted to know," asked Roxanne.
"Yeah, pretty much," said Speed.
"Whatever. Anyways, I'll talk to you later. You behave," said Roxanne.
"I always behave," said Speed with a smirk Roxanne couldn't see.
"Sure you do. Talk to you later," said Roxanne as she hung up.
"Who was that," asked Horatio as he came out of his bedroom just only in a pair of sweatpants and no shirt.
"It was another friend of mine. He wanted to make sure I came over here. I was having second thoughts for silly reasons. He talked me into coming over," said Roxanne.
"Sounds like a good friend. I hope to meet him one day," said Horatio.
"I'm sure you will one day. He's kind of a busy man, just like someone else I know," said Roxanne as she waggled her eyebrows.
"I'm not that bad, am I," asked Horatio as he came over and picked Roxanne up out of her wheelchair.
"No. Not really I guess," said Roxanne with a smirk.
"Not really, huh? I'll show you," said Horatio as he slung Roxanne over his shoulders and carried her over to the couch, where he put her down and started tickling her.
"Okay! I give. I give," said Roxanne between breathes.
"Are you sure you give," asked Horatio with a laugh.
"Yes! I give," said Roxanne laughing.
"Okay, but you have to promise not to try anything," said Horatio.
"I promise," said Roxanne.
"Okay. I believe you," said Horatio as he stopped tickling Roxanne.
The next thing Horatio knew he was on the floor on his back with Roxanne on top trying to tickle him. "Hey! You said you wouldn't try anything," said Horatio trying to breathe.
"I lied. This is for tickling me," said Roxanne as she continued her assault on Horatio. It didn't last for long though. Horatio had found an open spot and took it. Now, Roxanne was on the floor beneath Horatio. "That's not fair. You cheated," said Roxanne with a smile.
"You cheated first," teased Horatio.
"Maybe, but you have to admit. You liked it. You enjoyed yourself," said Roxanne.
"Yeah, I did enjoy myself. It was great," said Horatio as he picked Roxanne up and put her on the couch.
"Thank you for tonight. I really needed it," said Horatio.
"That bad of a day," asked Roxanne.
"No. It was just a long day. That's all. I thought I saw someone I knew a long time ago," said Horatio.
"Who," asked Roxanne.
"Tim Speedle. We called him Speed. I thought I saw him today, but I was wrong. I know I couldn't have seen him. He died a few years back," said Horatio with a sigh.
"I'm sorry to hear that. He sounds like a great person," said Roxanne.
"Yeah, he was a great person. He had a odd sense of humor. He was a great friend," said Horatio.
Roxanne felt bad knowing Speed was alive and not being able to tell Horatio. "Roxanne. Are you okay," asked Horatio with concern.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I was just thinking," said Roxanne with a small smile.
"Are you sure you're okay," asked Horatio.
"Yea, I'm fine. I was just in my own little world for a minute. So, what do you want to do now," asked Roxanne with a smirk on her face.
"Well, since we finished dinner and had a little fun, I think it's time for dessert. And I think I choose you as my dessert," said Horatio as he grabbed Roxanne and took her in his bedroom.
"Horatio! Put me down! You can't have me for dessert," said Roxanne while laughing.
"And why can't I have you as dessert," asked Horatio as he laid Roxanne down on the bed.
"Because I want you as my dessert first. Come here you," said Roxanne as she pounced on Horatio making him fall on the bed.
"You little cheater. You won't get away with this," said Horatio with a laugh.
"I think I already have," said Roxanne with a smirk on her face.
"You think so, huh? Well, I don't think so," said Horatio as he flipped Roxanne over straddling her hips. "You don't play fair," said Roxanne with a laugh.
"Neither do you," said Horatio with a smile.
"I guess that's what makes us so good together. Neither of us likes to play fair," said Roxanne.
"I agree. Stay here tonight," said Horatio.
"Of course. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else," said Roxanne.
"I'm glad 'cause I don't want you to be anywhere else, but here," said Horatio. Roxanne noted his voice sounded sad.
"Is everything okay," asked Roxanne.
"I don't know. Ever since I thought I saw Speed today I haven't been thinking clearly. The other are worried about me, but I can't tell them what's wrong with me. They'll think I'm crazy if I tell them I think I saw Speed today," said Horatio with a sigh.
"It'll be okay. You'll get through this. I'll be here to help you," said Roxanne with a smile.
"I know you'll be here for me. You're the first woman since Rachel that I've been with," said Horatio.
"Really? Why," asked Roxanne curiously.
"Rachel was killed by an enemy of mine. She understood me. She didn't care about my past. She said it didn't matter what my past was like, it was the man I am today that she loved. Nobody has ever said that to me," said Horatio.
"We all have things in the past that we want to hide from others. It's only natural. It's what makes us human," said Roxanne.
The next morning Roxanne woke up to something brushing against her face. She opened her eyes and saw Horatio holding a rose in his hand. "Morning beautiful," said Horatio with a smile.
"Morning to you too handsome. I loved the way you woke me up. A girl could get use to that," said Roxanne with a sigh.
"I'm sure you could. This is for you," said Horatio as he handed the rose to Roxanne.
"Thank you. I love it. It's my favorite color too," said Roxanne.
"I'm glad you like. How about some breakfast in bed," asked Horatio.
"Only if you join me," said Roxanne.
"Of course. I don't want you eating alone," said Horatio.
"Good. I want to have you all to myself," said Roxanne.
"And you will my dear. I took a couple of days off," said Horatio with a smile.
"You did?! Seriously," asked Roxanne shocked.
"Yup. I took the next four days off to be with you," said Horatio as he leaned down and kissed Roxanne's forehead.
"Wow! You know you didn't have to do that," said Roxanne.
"I know I didn't, but I wanted to," said Horatio.
"Thank you," said Roxanne with a smile.
"You're welcome. Now, you sit here while I get our breakfast," said Horatio as he kissed Roxanne on the lips.
"Okay. I'll sit here patiently," said Roxanne.
"Yeah, right. We'll see how long that lasts," said Horatio with a chuckle. The next thing he knew he got hit in the back of the head with a pillow.
"You think you're something else, huh? I'll get you back for that one," said Horatio.
"I'm counting on it," said Roxanne.
"You're so bad," said Horatio as he walked towards the kitchen.
"Yea, but you like it," hollered Roxanne.
"You're not hearing me complain," hollered Horatio back. A few minutes later Horatio came back with a tray with two plates on it.
"Hmm...Smells so good. I'm so hungry," said Roxanne.
"I'm glad you're hungry. I made some more just in case," said Horatio.
"You're terrific. No wonder I love you," said Roxanne. She blushed when she realized what she had just said.
"I love you too. More than you'll ever know," said Horatio.
"Oh, geez. You're going to make me cry. Why do you have to get all sentimental early in the morning," said Roxanne with a small laugh.
"I'm sorry. I didn't make you emotional first thing in the morning," said Horatio as he wiped a tear away from her eye.
"It's okay. I just never had someone say that to me. The last person who said they loved me was my parents. I was just a little girl then," said Roxanne.
"I bet you were cute when you were young," said Horatio.
"Oh, yeah. I was full of myself then too. I loved being photographed. I was such a ham," said Roxanne chuckling.
"I bet you were a handful too," said Horatio.
"I wasn't that bad. I got in trouble a couple of times. That's about it. I'll have to show you some pictures from when I was young. I was so adorable," said Roxanne.
"I don't doubt it," said Horatio.
After they ate breakfast, Horatio and Roxanne got comfortable on the couch. "So, tell me more about yourself," said Horatio.
"I don't know what else there is to say. I'm very independent. I like to do a lot of different activities. I like to do volunteer work wherever I can. I'm an only child. I want to be an advocate for young people in wheelchairs. That's all I can think of," said Roxanne.
"That's a good start. What kind of books do you like to read," asked Horatio.
"Action and Adventure, crime-solving, and mysterious books. I like to watch action movies. I don't usually go for the chick-flick movies. I consider myself a tomboy I guess. I don't really like dressing up too much," said Roxanne.
"So, does this mean I'll never see you in a dress," asked Horatio.
"Only if it's a special occasion, otherwise, no," said Roxanne.
"That's fine by me. I love you just the way you are. Did you get asked a lot why you're in a wheelchair," asked Horatio.
"Oh, yeah. I definitely got asked that question a whole lot, especially when I was little. I didn't know what to say back then, but the older I got the more I wanted to learn about what I had. It was a very interesting process for me, but I enjoyed every minute of it," said Roxanne with a smile.
"It seems like it's come in handy too," said Horatio.
"Yup. Knowing what I have has really helped a lot. I understand what to look for in certain things. It's great. I'll have to show you the book I have on Spina Bifida. It's a really informative book," said Roxanne.
"That would be nice. I would love to read it with you," said Horatio.
"I'm glad you're interested in learning," said Roxanne.
"I know. It means a lot to you," said Horatio with a chuckle.
"Yeah, it sure does. So, what do you have planned for today," asked Roxanne as she looked up at Horatio.
"Oh, I don't know. I thought we could take a stroll down the beach for a little while, then after that maybe go out to eat. How does that sound," asked Horatio.
"It sounds perfect to me," said Roxanne.
"Good. Would you like to go for a swim later on," asked Horatio. He noticed after he asked that Roxanne tensed up.
"Did I say something wrong," asked Horatio with concern.
"No, it's just that I can't really swim. I can't really move my legs to keep me afloat," said Roxanne with embarrassment.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know. If you don't want to go I'll understand," said Horatio.
"No. It's okay. I want to go. I'll just put on my life vest. It'll be okay," said Roxanne.
"Are you sure," asked Horatio.
"Yeah, I'm sure. I'll be fine. No problem," said Roxanne with a smile.
It was Horatio's turn to feel guilty. He knew he had made Roxanne uncomfortable when he asked about going swimming later. He also knew that she was trying to act as if nothing happened. He wanted to make it up to her, but didn't know how.
"I'm so stupid for bringing up going swimming later on. I shouldn't have asked her knowing she's in a wheelchair. I bet she thinks I'm a jerk now," thought Horatio as he looked at Roxanne. He could tell that she was still uncomfortable from the question.
"Shit. I really messed up this time. How am I going to fix this," thought Horatio to himself. Suddenly, he got up and went in the other room. Roxanne was startled by his sudden movements.
"Stupid me! I overreacted. I shouldn't have said what I did. How am I going to fix this? He probably feels guilty about asking me about swimming later. Damn. I need to learn not to overreact on things," thought Roxanne to herself as she looked towards Horatio's room.
"I have to make it up to him some way," thought Roxanne as she got in her wheelchair and headed towards Horatio's room.
Once she was at the door she knocked softly. "Horatio. May I come in," asked Roxanne tentatively.
"Yes. Come in," replied Horatio from the other side of the door. Roxanne pushed the door opened and made her way in.
"I'm sorry for the way I acted when you asked me about going swimming. I totally overreacted," said Roxanne as she made her way over to the bed.
"There's no need for you to apologize. I'm the one who should be apologizing. I feel like a fool. I'm sorry," said Horatio.
"It's okay. I think I understand how you feel. You feel guilty about asking me about swimming because you didn't think about the fact I can't use my legs that well. It's okay. People make mistakes sometimes," said Roxanne.
"I'm glad you're not mad at me and think I'm a jerk," said Horatio with a small smile.
"No. I could never think that of you. You're too kind of a person. Now, come on. I'm ready to exercise my arms around the park," said Roxanne.
"Okay. Let's get to it then. Did you have anywhere in mind where you want to eat," asked Horatio.
"No. Not really. I'm sure wherever you pick will be just fine," said Roxanne.
"You trust me that much," asked Horatio teasingly.
"Of course I trust you that much. Lord, help us if you didn't know any good places to eat around here," said Roxanne with a laugh.
"This is true," said Horatio chuckling.
"Have any of you seen Horatio? I need to talk to him," said Stetler as he walked up to Calleigh and Eric.
"No. We haven't seen him all day," said Calleigh without looking at Stetler.
"I haven't seen H either," said Eric.
"Do you know of any who has seen him," asked Stetler getting impatient.
"No. I don't know of any who might have seen him. Now, if you don't mind. We have a crime scene to process," said Eric getting annoyed.
"Fine. I'll find him myself," said Stetler as he walked away.
"What do you think he's up to now," asked Eric.
"There's no telling with him. He could be up to anything," said Calleigh.
"I hope he doesn't find H," said Eric.
"Me either. Horatio isn't going to be happy if he does," said Calleigh.
"Yeah, and I wouldn't want to be Stetler when he finds Horatio," said Eric.
"Calleigh. Eric. What have you found," asked Tripp as he walked up to the both of them.
"Nothing much at the moment. If it hadn't been for Stetler interrupting us we probably would have found something by now," said Calleigh.
"Stetler was here? What he want," asked Tripp.
"Wanted to know if anyone had seen Horatio. Who knows what he wanted to see him for. There's no telling," said Eric.
"That guy is such a jackass. Doesn't he know not to mess with Horatio," asked Frank.
"Apparently not. He's not that smart," said Calleigh.
"Apparently. One of these days he's going to get on Horatio's bad side and something is going to happen to him. I can feel it coming," said Tripp.
"I wouldn't doubt it either. I would love to see Horatio hit Stetler at least one time," said Eric.
"You two are so bad," said Calleigh.
"Come on, Cal. You know you would enjoy it too," said Eric.
"Yeah, you're right. I probably would enjoy it. Sometimes I just want to empty my gun on Stetler, but don't tell anyone else that," said Calleigh with a smile.
"I think we all feel the same way you do. I'm surprised Horatio has been able to keep his cool around him all these years," said Tripp.
"Same here. If I were Horatio I would have put a bullet in Stetler a long time ago," said Calleigh.
Meanwhile Stetler was still trying to find Horatio. He had gone to the lab, but had no luck there.
"Have you seen Horatio? I need to talk to him," said Stetler as he walked up to Natalia.
"No. I haven't seen him all day," said Natalia with a little annoyance.
"Are you sure you haven't seen him," asked Stetler.
"Yes. I'm sure I haven't seen him. If I had seen him I would know. Now, if you'll excuse me. I have evidence to run," said Natalia.
"What is everyone's problem today? Every time I have asked if anyone has seen Horatio they've gotten an attitude with me," said Stetler.
"That's because you're interrupting everyone from they're work that they're trying to get done. Now, go away," said Natalia.
So, Stetler left Natalia to her work and looked for anyone else who might have seen Stetler. He walked up to the receptionist desk.
"Hi Paula. Have you seen Horatio today," asked Stetler.
"No. He didn't come in today. He took the day off," said Paula.
"Thank you," said Stetler with a smile. "You're welcome, sir," said Paula. What she neglected to tell him was that Horatio had taken the next four days off.
"That'll show him. He doesn't want to mess with this lab," thought Paula as she got back to her work.
"Hey Paula. Was that Stetler I just saw leaving," asked Ryan as he walked up. "Yes. He's been harassing everyone here trying to find Horatio. I swear that man is annoying. I'm surprised Horatio hasn't lost his cool around him yet," said Paula.
"I'm surprised too. I'm sure it'll come one day," said Ryan.
"I think everybody would love to see that when it happens," said Paula.
"I know I would. Well, let me get back to work. Page me if he comes back still trying to find Horatio," said Ryan.
"Okay. Will do," said Paula as she watched Ryan walk off.
An hour later Stetler was riding by the beach when he noticed Horatio's hummer.
"So, he's here. I guess I'll just have to make a surprise appearance," thought Stetler to himself as he got out of his car. Little did he know, he was being watched.
"What is he up to now? He's got to be stupid or something to keep messing with Horatio like this. Jackass," thought Speed to himself as he kept watch on Stetler.
"I better let Roxanne know what's up," thought Speed as he took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Roxanne.
"She's going to be so pissed when she sees my text message. Hopefully Horatio won't become suspicious," thought Speed.
Horatio and Roxanne were walking and laughing when Roxanne's cell phone went off.
"I swear I'm going to kill this phone," said Roxanne as she looked at her phone.
She saw she had a text message from Speed. She opened her phone and read the message.
"Great. Stetler is on the prowl. How am I going to get me and Horatio out of here without letting Stetler see us," thought Roxanne.
"Is something wrong," asked Horatio with concern.
"No. Nothing's wrong. I just got a text message from a friend. So, did you want to swim now or after we have dinner? It doesn't matter to me," said Roxanne.
"Sure. We can go swimming now. We can work up an appetite while swimming," said Horatio.
"Sounds good to me. There's just one problem," said Roxanne.
"What's that," asked Horatio.
"I forgot to bring my life vest. I have it at Calleigh's place," said Roxanne.
"That's not a problem. We'll just swing by her place and get it. Simple as that," said Horatio with a smile.
"You're so smart. It's cute when you go all smart on me," said Roxanne teasingly.
"I'm glad you like. Now, come on. Let's go get your life vest so you can go swimming," said Horatio with a chuckle.
As they were leaving, Stetler caught sight of them and headed their way. Roxanne noticed this and pushed herself faster.
"Hey. Wait up. Are you that in a hurry to swim," asked Horatio with a laugh.
"Maybe. I've never been swimming in Miami. It'll be a new experience for me," said Roxanne.
"Well, let's get to it then," said Horatio as he started pushing Roxanne towards the hummer.
"You are such a kid, Horatio. I love it though," said Roxanne laughing.
"I thought you might like to see my childish side," said Horatio.
"I bet the others at the lab would love to see that side of you too, if you let them," said Roxanne.
"I just might do that one weekend. I'll have to pick a weekend we don't have to work," said Horatio as he opened the passenger side of the hummer.
"Do you need a lift or do you got it," asked Horatio as he stood behind Roxanne's wheelchair.
"I think I got it. You can lift me when we get to Calleigh's place," said Roxanne with a smile.
"Damn it. Somebody must have tipped her off. I will get to the truth one way or another. She's hiding something and I want to know what it is," thought Stetler as he got in his car and left.
"Man that was close. Thank God Speed sent me that text. Stetler is starting to get on my nerves," thought Roxanne.
Calleigh was on her way back to the lab when her phone rang.
"Hello," said Calleigh.
"Calleigh. We have a problem. Stetler was just here looking for Horatio," said Ryan with a sigh.
"That man just never quits, does he? Okay. I'll be back at the lab in a few minutes," said Calleigh.
"Okay. I'll see you when you get here," said Ryan as he hung up.
"Who was that," asked Eric.
"That was Ryan. He said Stetler was at the lab looking for Horatio," said Calleigh.
