AN: WARNING! Ryan fans may experience sever trauma and/or shock from reading this, you have been warned!
Now on with the story...
Previously on C.S.I Miami:
Once his foot hit the pavement, Horatio continued to run with Officer Blake, reaching the side entrance.
The second Lieutenant Horatio Caine appeared, he was swarmed by medics and officers alike, worried for his health.
Two officers took Officer Blake from Horatio's shoulders, carrying the young man onto a near-by gurney. Another medic tried to attend the mini cuts slashed across Horatio's face, some shards of glass still embedded.
The Lieutenant brushed the medics off, searching for his two CSI's.
"Horatio!"
Turning to see Calleigh and Eric rushing towards him, he removed his damaged glasses to look her in the eyes. The second she reached Horatio, the CSI spoke in a worried tone, her Southern accent peaking.
"Where are Ryan and Natalia?"
The Lieutenant was shocked once again, he hadn't considered his CSIs were still inside as he rushed out with Officer Blake, his thoughts focused solely on the young officer's depleting health.
Again, Calleigh asked, "Horatio...where are they?"
The CSI's faith in her Lieutenant wavered as she watched his face fall, grief taking hold of his features.
Slowly, in horror, Horatio, Calleigh and Eric turned to gape in terror as the Miami Metals plant shook, and then imploded, collapsing to the ground in a cloud of smoke.
Sighing in frustration, Eric Delko ran both his hands through his hair, leaving them at the back of his head as Calleigh argued with three fire-fighters. Though the smoke had lifted slightly and the danger of fallen debris gone, fires still raged through the rubble.
Rubble that Calleigh knew Ryan and Natalia were trapped under...if they were alive; they needed to be found quick or...the CSI couldn't finish her thought.
Now, staring into the eyes of a stubborn fire-fighter who denied her access past the side entrance of the road leading up to Miami Metals, Calleigh shared her partner's frustration.
Though not one to lose her temper, Calleigh had had enough.
The second the fire-fighter had turned his attention to another matter, the CSI sneaked by him, pushing past other officers, Eric joined her just inside the side entrance.
Another was already there.
Standing with his two CSIs, Horatio watched on, annoyed yet knowing that the fires were a danger to any rescuers. The Lieutenant had planned to help, to search for Ryan and Natalia once the fire-fighters allowed them through but he was overruled, higher ranking officials rejected him.
The Lieutenant now stood, waiting for a chance to run to the rescue no matter what Rick Stetler or anyone else said.
"Horatio!"
Speak of the devil...
Forgetting his thought, the Lieutenant watched as the IAB agent paced towards him, two medics right on his tail. Stopping in front of the strawberry haired Lieutenant, Rick Stetler placed his hands on his hips, an annoyed scowl on his face.
"Didn't I tell you to see a doctor?"
"I took it as more of a suggestion."
Laughing sarcastically, Rick continued as if Horatio never interrupted him.
"Horatio, you of all people should know that in a situation like this there's little chance of-"
"There's always a chance Rick."
The IAB agent was becoming angry, with Horatio constantly challenging his authority he decided to lay down the law with the Lieutenant.
"You know the chief gave me jurisdiction over the rescue now go with these men and get yourself checked out!"
Annoyed further that the Lieutenant stayed in his spot, Rick nodded to the men behind them, signalling them to force Horatio to their ambulance.
Both Eric and Calleigh moved forward, daring the two medics to place a hand on their Lieutenant.
"Horatio, go-"
"They are my CSIs Rick."
Horatio's tone told Rick he would not move until the missing officers were found. Before either side could speak again, a startled voice shouted through their tensional stand-off.
"BODY FOUND!"
Immediately, the CSI trio were gone, Rick blinked surprisingly before following, his medics racing past him. As they approached the fire-fighter, he began pulling the body from the rubble.
Reaching the gathering around the found body first, Calleigh stared down at grey face, emerald eyes looking beyond the caked blood to the male features of the man. Speechless, and gasping for air, Calleigh was in disbelief.
"Male!"
Standing back, she allowed Eric and Horatio in for a look, both worried for Ryan by the fire-fighter's announcment.
Eric backed away immediately, not believing his eyes. Damn it Wolfe!
Screaming within his mind, the CSI looked on as his Lieutenant examined the body. Horatio looked to the fire-fighter who was furiously working his hands on the man's chest, trying to force the body to breathe.
Horatio looked down to the filmier face, unsure of what to feel. The fire-fighter sighed, lifting off of the ash covered body. Looking up, his eyes held an apology he had to voice.
"I'm sorry Lieutenant...he's gone."
Horatio looked away from the man, his eyes looking out to the rest of burning building pieces, he had to keep searching.
All you Ryan-lovers, I warned you that you all may experience sever shock this chapter.
And I hope you liked the Rick/ Horatio stand off! I love them!
