In the meantime, at the hospital, Eric was so tired he had fallen asleep after making his deal with Celine about their date.

He was glad his friends were around earlier and he was now good to sleep. He was very tired and he has been fighting to stay alive with the help of the medication provided to him through IV.

Eric was unaware in the meantime, he had a bunch of doctors and nurses in his room trying to find out if he was still alive, going to live or die. He couldn't believe he could have possibly just died when he has been stabilized for quite a bit now not counting he was no longer bleeding from the outside at least…

Doctor Mike checked Eric's pulse. Something was wrong somewhere considering his patient had a pulse but the machine was reading him dead.

He decided to have a glance at the damn thing to see what was wrong and that's where he noticed one of the wires that lead from Eric's body to the machine was detached.

When he plugged it back in the machine, all of a sudden, the machine just stopped. He politely asked a nurse to go get another one while he would keep an eye on Eric's pulse to make sure it was still at the right pace.

In the meantime, at Ryan's house, they were all hanging around each other and decided to order some pizza because there emotions were getting the best out of them and they needed something to get their minds off Eric for a little while.

While waiting for the food to get there they all took there notepad out and started elaborating the crime scene.

Celine had saved her recording of Eric's statement and even if the night shift were the ones investigating, she offered to play the recording and then gathered all evidence and pictures taken. They tried to find a solution to what had happened and if perhaps they could be of any assistance for the night shift. They knew Celine and Ryan would probably be asked for their statement eventually.

The doorbell finally rang and Ryan brought a box of pizza to where they were sitting and they continued working on Eric's case.

After gathering all the information they could, they were still at a dead end. They were wondering who was the mysterious girl the bad guys were looking for as Eric stated in the recording device. Eric wasn't sure if he heard right or not but that's what he came up.

It was now three in the morning and there was still no lead until Celine suddenly remembered about the mysterious SUV.

"Damn it!" she screamed.

Her reaction made Calleigh and Ryan jumped.

"Would you care to elaborate?" Ryan asked with a puzzle looked on his face.

"I just remembered something about that SUV I saw. I told you it was driving like it did not want to be noticed and because it was dark I was not sure if I had seen it or if it was the figment of my imagination" Celine explained.

"When you think about it, there had to be some kind of vehicle somewhere so the bad guys could have left as fast as they had this whole thing planned" she added.

"Was there any light's on that SUV when you saw it leave?" Calleigh asked Celine.

"No but I heard a car door and it was coming from a fair distance. I also heard a sound of an engine starting up, which is why I was not sure if it was a figment of imagination."

"Not that I doubt you Celine, but how do you know it was an SUV?" asked Ryan.

"Because when it drove away there was a street light that shown over it. It drove through the light very quickly though, that's why I'm not completely sure of myself. I was not sure about this but like you said it was best to call Horatio to inform him incase it would be related…" Celine said.

So once more they all reviewed their information but without any success the three CSI were still unable to find a lead in the case.

After finishing their pizza, they decided maybe it was best they catch some Zs since the morning would come quickly and they would have a lot of work to do since they had decided to go visit Eric at the hospital before going to work. They wanted to find out more on Eric's health hoping they would not have terrible news to announce to Horatio.

In the meantime at the hospital they managed to get another machine working for Eric who seemed to be doing pretty good according to the reports.

Doctor Mike had decided he was going to do the x-rays first thing in the morning to make sure everything was fine with Eric and with luck he'd be able to get out in a couple day's on the conditions that he would be on sick leave for a while and does not work till he is fully healed.

Eric was still sleeping with a slight smile on his face. He was dreaming of Celine and him on there big date. He knew he was going to get her by the end of that night. He was just not expecting to ask her this way but as long as she accepted what difference did it really make? Maybe she will be able to take care of him, he chuckled and woke up but he instantly went back to sleep since he could now let the medicine do its job and didn't have to fight the pain no more.

The three CSI decided they would all get up early in the morning and head out to the hospital to check on Eric before going to work hoping they would not have a terrible news to announce to Horatio.

Will they be able to get a lead? Will the information they gathered up, would be enough to help the night crew to save Eric? Will Eric make it through the night or is he still in danger? You will soon find out in the next chapter. Please read and review.
