Sorry for the long wait. (I know i'm evil.) Here is the final chapter to this story. There will be a sequel which i am working on and should start to appear in the next few hours. (Don't worry it's multi chapter but i have already wrote so much so i want to get it up as soon as possible.) Anyway thank you for reading A Sheep in Wolfe's Clothing and thank you for all the reviews!
"So you've been undercover for the last four years?" Walter asked as Speed shifted nervously in his seat.
"Not exactly. I was put under witness protection."
"It's really you isn't it?" Jesse asked as he stared at Speed.
"Yeah. It's really me."
"They phoned me to tell me you had got shot and died on scene. I didn't want to believe it."
"I'm sorry Jesse. I had no other choice."
"I know man. I'm just so glad to see you."
"So you are friends with Ryan then?" Walter asked.
"You could call it that." Jesse said with a chuckle.
"Ryan and I are married." Speed responded. Walter's mouth dropped open.
"Jeez. And I thought I knew him." Walter stuttered. The three men looked up when Rick Stetler opened the door and entered the office.
"They're ready for you." He said. "Good luck."
"Thank you Rick." Speed said as he stood up and shook Rick's hand. "I don't know what Ryan and I would have done without you this last month."
"It was nothing. Ryan helped us flush out Horatio. It's me who should be thanking you." Speed nodded and the three new friends made their way to down to the crime lab floor.
"So will we know these three?" Natalia asked.
"Well one has transferred from the night shift, one of them worked here back in the 90s and the last one most of you will have heard of." The elevator dinged revealing Walter Simmons, Jesse Cardoza and Timothy Speedle. Calleigh and Eric paled as their deceased colleague stepped off the elevator cart and placed his hand on Ryan's shoulder. "Everyone I want you to meat Walter Simmons who is joining us from the night shift, Jesse Cardoza who has transferred from LA and Tim Speedle who has been in a witness protection program for the last four years."
"Speedle?" Natalia questioned. "You're Eric and Calleigh's friend."
"That's me."
"Natalia Boa Vista." The DNA expert said; stepping forwards and shaking Tim's hand.
"Speed." Eric whispered. "Is it really you?"
"Yes Eric. It's me." Speed replied as Eric pulled him into a manly hug.
"Hey you." Calleigh said as she stood on her tiptoes and gave Tim a small kiss on his cheek.
"Calleigh I'm a married man." Speed warned.
"Yeah who'd you marry?" Eric asked.
"Me." Ryan replied stepping forward and placing his hand on Speed's shoulder; mirroring his lover's actions. "He married me ten years ago."
"You're gay?" Natalia asked. Speed nodded.
"Is… Is that a problem?" He asked.
"Hell no sex on legs!" Valera exclaimed. "You're coming with us." She and Natalia grabbed Speed's hands and dragged him off to DNA.
"Oi you two that's my husband!" Ryan shouted. As he watched his DNA experts kidnap his lover.
"Jesse." Calleigh greeted as she shook Jesse's hand.
"You remember me?" The LA cop asked.
"You were the first cop I met on the job. Of course I remember you."
"It was the day I left. I remember because I thought you were hot but I hadn't got the guts to ask you out." Calleigh blushed and Eric let out a small growl.
"Yeah well you can back off Cardoza." Eric warned as he wrapped his arms around his girlfriend's waist.
"Okay I think I'm gonna be in trace so I'll see you guys later." Walter said as he sensed things heating up.
"Eric, Calleigh, Jesse you all have work to do so I suggest you go and get on before I get annoyed." Ryan said as he stepped in between the two men.
"Ryan!" Alexx called as she ran through the lab and wrapped her arms around the young man. The plans to go home after visiting the crime lab had gone out of the window and the pair of lovers had soon found themselves swamped with work.
"Hey Alexx." Ryan said with a small chuckle; returning the hug.
"Where's my other baby boy?" Alexx asked as she looked around for Speed.
"Working somewhere. I'd love to catch up but I have to sign Horatio's arrest forms."
"Say no more honey. You go and do what you have to do." Alexx said as she pulled back from the young man and wiped tears from her cheeks. "I'm just glad you're okay."
"Thanks Alexx." Ryan said as he placed a small kiss on the former M.E's cheek. "I'll speak to you later yeah?"
"You sure will honey." Alexx smiled as she watched her surrogate son make his way up to IAB.
"Do I have to go in and see him?" Ryan asked as he signed his name at the bottom of one of the many forms.
"Not if you don't want to." Rick replied. "But you know you can't hold off forever. He put half of those guys away."
"I'll make time to see him in the holidays." Ryan replied. "I might be pissed at him but I'm not a heartless bastard. He'll want to strike a deal and I'll see what I can do but I can't promise anything."
"I understand Ryan." Rick said. "At least watch him out?"
"I wouldn't miss it for the world." Ryan replied as he turned to go. "But I'd rather watch from a safe distance." He added before making his way towards his office to watch out of his window.
