Ryan's POV
"Ryan." She whispered. I bent down to reach her level.
"Shhh, baby. Everything's gonna be okay." I whispered.
"SOMEBODY CALL FOR HELP! NOW PLEASE, SHE'S SHOT!" Everyone went into a tizzy. Horatio made his way into the lab with his phone in his hand.
"Yes, this is Lieutenant Horatio Caine; we have an officer down, I repeat, officer down in the Miami Dade Crime Lab Room 319."
"Am I going to die?" Sarah whispered.
"I need to you to listen to me. You are not going to die. You are a fighter, you will pull through. Do you understand me?" Horatio sternly asked. She attempted to nod. I held on to her hand. Her eyes were starting to close.
"No no no no, come on Sarah pull through. You can do this. Don't die on me, I love you." I told her. Before she could say anything, the EMTs arrived.
"One gunshot to the lower chest, through and through." Horatio told them. "She lost a lot of blood." As they wheeled her out of the room, I took the advantage to pull one paramedic aside.
"Please save her. Do everything that you can." The EMT nodded and rushed to catch up to the gurney which held my love.
At The Hospital…
I watched as they rushed Sarah into an ER. I ran my hands through my hair and paced across the hospital waiting room.
"Mr. Wolfe, relax. I called SWAT and they're on their way to search the building for the shooter. I called Calleigh and told her to put the place on lockdown. Everything's going to be fine."
"Horatio, the only one who could have done this was that boyfriend." I pointed out.
"His name is Dominick Swaye." Horatio told me. I stopped pacing.
"That name came up today in DNA. His blood was found in the victim's watch. Now, I don't know if this is completely right, but it's a theory. What if he killed that guy, just because he thought Sarah was going to show up at the scene? And then when Sarah didn't show up, he went to the lab, found, her, and shot her?" I asked.
"This could, very well, all be true Mr. Wolfe." Horatio replied. Before I could say another word, Alexx came into the waiting room.
"Boys," She grabbed my hands and pulled me to a seat. "Sarah is a fighter, I know you know that. But the bullet pierced through a major vein. There's a very slim chance that she will pull through. We're working very hard to revive her, and if she doesn't pull through in the next 5 minutes, we'll have to call it." She looked in my eyes. I felt a tear roll down my cheek.
Men don't cry. Men don't cry. Men don't cry. Screw it. This was the love of my life.
"Alexx, I need you to everything you possibly can." Horatio started. "We don't need to lose another person on the team."
"Horatio, I'll do my best." She gave him a hug. When she turned to give me a hug, she held on to me for an extra second or two.
"She's going to make it." Alexx whispered. I nodded as she walked out. I lowered my head into my hands and I reminisced on all the good times we had. When we shared our first kiss, when I stayed over her house for the first time, and when she stayed over mine. When I told her I loved her; boy that was a scene. Everything that I had with her was slowly dying, just like her.
Suddenly, Eric, Calleigh, Natalia, and Walter came in.
"We heard about what happened, and we came as soon as we were released from lockdown. How's she doing?" Calleigh asked.
"Not too well," I started. "The bullet hit a major vein, and Alexx told me that there's a slim chance she can make it through."
"Oh, Ryan, I'm so sorry." Natalia rubbed my shoulder.
"How could no one see this? The walls," Eric took a breath. "The walls aren't even walls, they're windows!" Eric was getting frustrated.
"Eric." Horatio always used that tone of voice to calm anyone of us down. I took another deep breath and placed my hands over my eyes again.
1 Hour Later…
"Family of," He looked at the paper. "Sarah Wilson?" We all jumped as the silence in the waiting room was broken. None of us were related to her, and the doctor could see that. Eric was Cuban, Horatio was a red-head, Calleigh was blonde from the roots all the way down to her shoulder, Walter was black, ((A/N that wasn't intended to sound so rude, but that did sound kinda harsh ….)) Natalia had hazel eyes while Sarah had brown eyes, And I, I was just me.
"Well, we all work with her; can't we still get the information?" Horatio asked.
"No, I can only issue out information to relatives or to her husband, children-"
"I'm, I'm her husband." I stuttered. I walked up to the doctor to receive the information he had. I hated lying, but in a situation like this, I had no choice. And besides, I wanted to be her husband sometime in the nearby future anyways.
"Very well then." He looked me in the eye and then read his clipboard. "Mrs. Wilson is in stable condition. We were able to stop the bleeding and repair the vein. She's going to make it through." I can tell that he was happy to give out the good news.
"Thank you so much." I walked back over to the group.
"How is she?" Walter asked.
"She pulled through. They were able to stop the bleeding and repair her vein. She's in stable condition." I reported the good news.
"Oh, that's great!" Horatio smiled. It was very, rare, if I do say so myself.
"Indeed, Mr. Husband." Calleigh laughed. Everyone else chimed in.
"Okay, okay, okay. Funny I know." I reluctantly stated.
"Dude, it's okay. We all know you want to be her husband." Eric joked. I couldn't even shoot a single death glare at him, because I know he's right.
"Dude, shut up." I said through gritted teeth. Just then Alexx came through.
"Baby," She said to me in her smoothing, mother-like voice. "We did it. Sarah pulled through. We did it." I gave her a long hug.
"When can we see her?" Calleigh asked.
"Visiting hours start at 12:00pm to 5:00pm and then at 8:00pm to 1:00am. You all can visit her during the 12 to 5 session, but she won't be awake until late tonight, possibly tomorrow morning. She's very weak due to the amount of blood she loss. It'll take a while until she regains enough blood for her system. Now I called her mom, she should be down here by tonight."
"Thank you so much Alexx." Horatio smiled again.
"You're welcome. Now you all better get back to work! I know they don't pay you to not be there, because they sure as hell don't pay me." We all laughed as Alexx left the room.
"Well, it's 11:06 now. What do you want to do Horatio?" Eric asked.
"Eric and Calleigh, I need you to run interrogation. I need you to get Mr. Swaye in the interrogation office. Natalia I need you to pick up where Sarah left off in trace and then send the information to Calleigh or Eric. Walter, you are on hiatus until the next case. Mr. Wolfe, you can go home and change. You're covered in her blood." I glanced down at my shirt and pants and I noticed that I was, indeed, covered in Sarah's blood.
"Alright, sounds good to me." Walter said.
"Yeah, I'd like to give that scumbag a little talk." Eric muttered. He really cared about Sarah, I can tell by their bond.
"Eric, relax. We can take him down, without any fights okay?" Calleigh rubbed his shoulder.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Eric and Calleigh headed back to the lab, shortly followed by Walter and Natalia.
"Thanks H." I said.
"For what?" He asked.
"For being calm about this. When I told someone to call for help, everyone decided that was the time to go into a frenzy. But you were actually calm. If you weren't there, well, who knows. I'm just glad you were there."
"You're welcome Mr. Wolfe." He patted my back and walked out of the door. I walked down the hall and glanced through Sarah's hospital room window. She was sleeping peacefully. She looked so pale, and so fragile. I missed my old Sarah. I wanted- no I needed her back. She's the only one who can make this right. She's the only one that I care about at this moment. She's the only one who can make me happy. If I could just hold her in my arms, I would. It would make me complete. Without her warm embrace, Her sweet smelling perfume, and her beautiful melodic voice, I feel incomplete.
