at the lab

When Horatio entered the lab an angry stetler and a worried calleigh were waiting for him.

"you better have a good reason why your late Caine. You were supose to be on the crime scene this morning. You better not make a habit of this Caine" said stetler. It was not a big secret that Stetler disliked Horatio.

He walked away looking like a cat that just catched a mouse. Mumbling something about getting an anoying redhair with an hero complex fired.

Calleigh signed "well that was typical"

"yes it was Calleigh"

in the lockerroom

When Horatio entered the locker room he was suprised to find ryan sitting in front of his locker. He seemed to be deep in thought until horatio put a hand on his shoulder.

"mister wolfe, what are you doing here" startled, Ryan jumped up. "sorry sir, i was just getting something from my locker" "uhm H are you okay, you don't look so good"

And ryan was right. Horatio suddenly became paler than he already was. And the room began to spin. Soon everything became black and he collapsed to the ground.

"Horatio!!! " Ryan quickly catched Horatio before his head could hit the floor, and gently layed him down on the floor. Before he could run for help, Horatio started to stir. After a couple of seconds he opened his eyes. "lay still Horatio, I'm gonna get some help okay? " ryan said.

"NO!, I'm fine, i just lost my balance."

"that's bullshit Horatio and you know it. You just fainted, and you're definitly not fine." Ryan said looking angry.

"Ryan, I'm still your boss remember. I will deal with this myself. You should go back to work. You still have a lot of work to do. And so do I." Horatio said looking annoyed.

"you can't go work, you're not well!" ryan said. But Horatio had already walked out of the locker room.
