Okay so here it is... The moment of truth. :O Thank you for joytiger and mizzstargirl for reviewing!

Week 4

It had now been a month since Ryan had disappeared but Natalia had kept going with the investigation despite balancing several cases at the same time. She was currently working in silence alongside Maxine Valera in DNA.

"NAT YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!" Eric exclaimed as he burst through the door. "THEY'RE LEADING H OUT IN CUFFS!" The two DNA experts dropped what they were doing and ran after Eric into the corridor.

"Please be careful you two." Emily said as she kissed both Ryan and Speed.

"I love you mom." Tim said; hugging the female.

"I love you too baby."

"Promesse de m'appeler?" « Promise to call me? » Camille asked as she hugged Ryan.

"Je promets mammy." « I promise mum. » The young man replied.

"Bon. Et mangez quelque chose que vous garçon maigre!" « Good. And eat something you skinny boy! » The female exclaimed; earning chuckles from the group.

"Bye everyone." The two men called as they climbed into a cab.

"Bye!" John, Lorcán and Emily called back.

"Au revoir!" Camille, Renee and Lucia added as they waved the two men off.

Horatio Caine stared into the disappointed eyes of his CSI family as he was led through the lab in handcuffs. He wondered who would become his replacement but that question was soon answered by one Rick Stetler.

"Lt. Wolfe is expected back on American soil in the next 72 hours. His signature is needed for the forms but as soon as that is done we can get you a nice, new, orange jumpsuit to wear." Rick said as he led Horatio into a holding cell.

"Lt. Wolfe?" Horatio questioned.

"Yep. The clever little bugger decided to hop on a plane to his home in France so that he might flush you out."

"He knew about me?"

"That you'll have to ask him. Right now though I suggest you keep your mouth shut and your head down."

"Rick!" Calleigh called as she spotted the sergeant.

"Yes Calleigh? If I might be able to call you that?"

"Yeah sure I prefer it… Anyway who is the new lieutenant?"

"You will be meeting your new lieutenant in the next day or so along with you three new CSIs."

"And what about Ryan?"

"Ryan is on his way home and is safe. You have no need to worry." Calleigh nodded. After Horatio had been arrested the IAB sergeant had told the CSIs of Ryan's plan along with how Ryan's apartment wasn't really his home. The rest of the team had taken it with smiles and breaths of relief.

"I don't think I've ever been more nervous." Ryan whispered as he held on tightly to his husband's hands. "Apart from our wedding day and my first day on this job this is the scariest day of my life."

"Relax. You'll be fine." Speed soothed. The two men were in a cab from the airport and were planning on heading directly to the crime lab before going home for some much needed rest.

"I know. I guess I'm just worried on how they are gonna take the news of my taking H's job. Especially Calleigh and Delko."

"Ryan the last time Calleigh and Eric saw me I was in a body bag. But I'm not freaking out."

"I know." Ryan said with a sigh. "You were always the level headed one though." When they were ten minutes away from the lab Ryan dialled Rick's number and asked him to gather the CSIs so that he could explain his promotion. He also organised it so that Tim along with his other two new CSIs would wait up in IAB until he was ready.

"Ryan!" Calleigh shouted as she ran across the lab and flung her arms around him. "Thank god you're safe." She whispered causing Ryan to smile. "The new lieutenant is gonna be here any minute!" The rest of the CSIs and lab techs had already gathered round and Natalia had made the connections faster than anyone.

"Cal." She whispered; leaning. "Ryan is the lieutenant." Calleigh looked up at Ryan's smiling face and gasped.

"You got Horatio's job?"

"Yeah. Rick called me."

"Oh my God that's fantastic!" Maxine said as she flung herself at Ryan. Calleigh and Eric stood there in shock as the rest of the team congratulated Ryan.

"Eric? Calleigh?" The young man said. "Please say something."

"Wow Wolfe." Eric said. "I… I don't know what to say."

"In a good way or a bad way?" Ryan asked.

"I don't know."

"I'm just glad you are back safe." Calleigh whispered. "You really had us all scared."

"Well I have another surprise for you." Ryan said.

"You're giving us the day off?" Maxine asked almost hopefully.

"I wish. But I also get orders from higher up. Things certainly will be more relaxed around here but that doesn't mean you can slack off. Now for the other surprise. I have your three new colleagues on ice up in IAB waiting for my call so if you'll excuse me for just a tick." Ryan said as he dialled a number. "Yeah Rick. Send them down."

Dun... Dun... Dun! That's all i'm saying apart from please review! Thnx
