At the lab
"Horatio Caine get back here immediatly!! "
Horatio looked over his shoulder to see a very angry Alexx aproaching him.
Alexx grabbed him by the ear and started dragging him towards the morgue, while at the same time lecturing him about being mean to his coworkers. When they finally arrived at the morgue she let go of his ear.
"What was that for" horatio asked while rubbing his ear.
"Apperently this is the only way I can get you to listen." She said. All her anger disappeared when she saw Horatio start to sway.
She gently pushed him in a chair and put a hand on his forhead.
"Are you alright baby. And I want a real answer."
Horatio looked at Alexx and saw the concern in her eyes. He always found it hard to lie at her .
"I've felt better. I've got a fever, I feel nausious and I'm slightly dizzy."
Alexx looked at him with a look that said "why didn't my poor baby tell me he was sick" and signed.
" How long have you been feeling ill Horatio? " she said.
"For a few days, but it's just the flu " Horatio said while putting on his best puppy eyes.
"for now I have to agree with you, but I want you to go home Horatio. Now excusses. The team will take over your work. You just have to make sure that you get some rest." She said while giving him her best stern mother look.
"Fine I'll go home, but I am not apologizing to Ryan by the way. "
alexx glared at him and grabbed his ear again.
"autch, alexx let go. I'll apologize alright."
Alexx finally let his ear go, and Horatio quickly got out of the morgue. "Damn Alexx was scary when she went into full mother mode."
