Okay sorry for the wait but here it is. The next chapter. This is set one week in advance but still covers everything.

Week 2…

"Oh God help me please!" The young man screamed as he thrashed about on the double bed. Speed instantly wrapped his arms around Ryan in a bid to calm him down.

"Ryan wake up handsome. It's just a dream." Speed said softly as he shook Ryan's shoulders.

"Please! Help!" His younger lover screamed again.

"Ryan you need to wake up." With an anguished cry Ryan bolted up right. "Ryan handsome?" Speed whispered.

"Wha… What happened?" Ryan choked.

"You had a bad dream." Speed whispered as he sat up and wrapped his arms around Ryan's torso before gently pulling his younger lover towards his chest. He ran his fingers through Ryan's soft hair while humming his lover's favourite tune. The past week had been spent making sure Ryan's details and affairs were in order so that when he returned to Miami he would be already set up in order to move back into his home along with his husband. This meant that the next three weeks could be focused on relaxing and getting over the stress of the whole ordeal.

"I'm sorry." Ryan whispered.

"It's okay handsome. It's not your fault." Speed replied with a sigh.

The past week had been hectic for the crime lab to say the least. Natalia's theory had been proven correct and it had been discovered that the blood had been stored before being planted in Ryan's apartment. Though this discovery had led to the CSIs running around in circles trying to figure out what had happened in Their collegue's home.

"Please tell me you have something." Natalia said as Valera appeared in the break room.

"I do."

"What? Show me!" Natalia exclaimed as she jumped off the sofa.

"I have Frank Tripp's DNA." Maxine said quietly.

"Are you sure?"

"I've ran it through CODIS three times Nat. Frank was in that apartment. Are you going to tell Horatio?"

"No. I'm taking it to IAB. In the words of Frank Tripp himself; there's something hinky going on here. And I'm going to find out what. We need to keep this between us Maxi okay?" The DNA tech nodded. Natalia took the results and calmly made her way up to IAB.

"I told you to remove the hit." The visitor said.

"And I told you to find Wolfe." Ivan replied. "Where is he?"

"We're still searching. Although the other CSIs believe that he is with you."

"I know everything that goes on within my organisation and I can assure you that the CSI is not with me."

"I gave you him once. It's not my fault you can't track your own men."

"If you are playing games with me Caine; I will hunt you down and kill you."

"Is that a threat?"

"In your own words; No. It is a promise." Horatio Caine nodded and left the small room where Ivan Sarnoff was eating his meal.

"What the hell?" Eric mumbled as he double checked the screens.

"What you got?" Dave asked.

"You'd never believe me." Eric replied. "Horatio logged on to track Ryan's hummer on the night he went missing.

"First time or second?"

"First. Then half an hour before the hummer comes to a standstill a John Walden signs in to visit Ivan Sarnoff in Miami County Jail."

"And?"

"And… John Walden was Horatio's undercover name almost eighteen years ago." Eric said quietly.

"Yeah but there must be hundreds of John Walden's in Miami."

"But only one of them would have a reason to visit Sarnoff."

"You think Horatio told Sarnoff where to find Ryan?"

"I don't know." Eric admitted. "But I think it's best if we keep this between ourselves. I'm going up to IAB to talk to Stetler. I'll be back in half an hour."

"Okay." Dave said as Eric left the AV lab.

"Tim?" Ryan whispered as he shook his lover's shoulder. Speed stirred and opened his eyes to find Ryan staring down at him. "It's almost lunch." Ryan said softly.

"Crap." Speed said as he let his head fall back onto the pillow.

"Come on. Our mums will throw a fit."

"Ryan handsome we don't have plans today. There's no rush to get up."

"I know." Ryan said guiltily. "I'm sorry." At these words Speed was wide awake.

"Whatever for Ry?"

"Because of last night."

"Ryan that wasn't your fault." Speed whispered. "I know how hard this is for you but I need you to talk to me. I need you to tell me what happened."

"I… I can't."

"You don't remember?"

"I don't want to remember Tim. These last few years I have developed a way in which to block everything out. The team put me through hell when I first started. Eric and Calleigh especially. I just want to forget everything."

"Then let me help Ryan. Tell me so that we can forget together." Speed waited while his younger lover took a deep breath and calmed himself down enough to be able to speak properly.

:O What's Horatio up to? Poor Ryan. He never seems to catch a break does he? Please Review!
