Author's Note- I don't own the show or the characters I'm just borrowing for the sake of this fic. Also sorry for the long wait my computer decided to crash so I lost everything but after I got some money saved up I was able to go get my computer checked out and they were able to save my hard drive ;-; aka the thing that all my stories are on right now.

"Horatio's right though, you should tell the others. This isn't something that Horatio and I can handle alone. You won't be at scenes with us all the time."

Ryan nodded and took a shuddering breath, "I know I need to, but I don't want to. Gods I don't want to."

The rest of the week the office was a buzz with Ryan's recent attack. Though no matter how much people asked or snooped around no one could get a clear answer as to why it happened; after all it wasn't every day someone had a panic attack right in the lab. The irony of the situation was not lost on the Miami-Dade crime lab. Thus the many rumors that were now going around, which Ryan shot down every one of them to anyone who asked. By now interest in what happened was lost, while more of the nosy people were still trying to get a story for the gossip circle.

Calleigh sighed as another lab tech left the room after trying to get the story off her. It had been like this all week for everyone on the team. Well everyone but Alexx and Horatio, when it came to the team you really didn't want to bug them. She frowned, 'Come to think of it…Horatio seemed a little more protective of Ryan this past week than I've ever seen him be.' She mused.

She glanced up from her drink as Horatio passed by the break room. 'Whatever's going on has got to be big if Horatio hasn't even told us yet.' She thought getting up to follow him. She stopped when Alexx ran by, grabbed Horatio, and started talking quietly before they went the way they had just came. She was just about to stalk after them and demand what was going on, for the good of the team of course, when another lab tech caught her.

"Hey Calleigh, you busy right now? I was hoping to ask you something before you left today." The brunette smiled and Calleigh forced a smile back. "See I was just wondering if you knew anything about what happened to Ryan last week? You being on the same team and all I figured you would know more than any of us."

"Well actually-" her phone rang and she silently thanked whoever was calling her, "I need to get this sorry." She said just short of running from the room.

"Du-"

"Calleigh its Horatio, come to my office now. We're having a team…meeting."

An hour later Calleigh found herself shocked into silence as she scanned over the folder for what seemed the hundredth time. The first time she read through it she had almost laughed and asked if this was some sick joke the lab was playing to improve skills for something or other; but when Ryan started explaining it just went downhill. She looked around the room looking at each of her colleagues in turn.

Alexx sat by Ryan on the couch the whole time rubbing his arm, his back, sometimes hugging him when he chocked up to much to talk. Horatio stood with a silent demeanor watching the door and scaring anyone who came in un-announced. Eric was…well Eric was just pissed and stared out the window after Ryan started explaining. Calleigh bit her lip and continued reading just to make sure this really wasn't a dream. She had read about kids who had been abused and had even met some but to know she was this close to? Calleigh was beyond furious.

"So where is this guy now?" she asked no one in particular.

"We don't know. He disappeared after he got released, he's somewhere here in Miami." Horatio sounded calm but Calleigh knew better.

"So what are we supposed to do now that we know about this…situation?" Eric's voice startled everyone but he was still looking out the window.

"Right now we can't do anything. We just have to keep our eyes open and make sure he stays away from Ryan. From what I've read he probably already knows where Ryan works and where he lives." Horatio replied.

"So what do we need to do about this?" Calleigh asked setting the folder down.

Horatio sighed and ran a hand through his hair, "Right now? As much as I hate to say it, there is nothing we can do at this time."

"Eric wait up!" Calleigh yelled chasing after Eric who was making a fast track to his car. "Eric! Dammit stop!" she grabbed onto his arm and yanked as hard as she could. "Eric what is the matter with you?"

Eric looked back at her glaring, "Nothing is wrong Calleigh. Now let me go." Calleigh gasped at the intense stare and actually took a step back and watched Eric walk away only glancing away at Alexx who came to stand beside her.

"Well that was interesting. If the situation wasn't so horrible I would joke about how blatantly oblivious he is to how he and Ryan feel about each other." Calleigh said sighing and Alexx nodded, "At least Ryan is open about it."

The older woman just chuckled, "Men are so ignorant when it comes to feelings. When'd you figure it out?"

"Just a month after Ryan got here, but it wasn't until I started giving him a chance that I got to putting things together." Both women smiled then turned to look back in the direction of Horatio's office.

"That bastard better hope the police catch him before I do; cause if I find him they won't even find a tooth." Alexx hissed and Calleigh nodded.

"I know, but Horatio's right you know. We can't do anything right now until we find him; cause as far as we know he's still within the restraining orders limit and he knows that we can't do anything legal against him other than charging him for missing a check in phone call."

They stood in silence for a short time before Alexx moved, "I'm going to go see where Eric ran off to. Hopefully he didn't get to far, I need to talk to him." Calleigh watched Alexx walk away before heading back to Horatio's office.

The first thing Calleigh noticed when she walked into the office was a very uncomfortable looking Horatio as he sat next to a quivering Ryan who, she now heard, was sobbing quietly as the red head sat next to him awkwardly. Motioning Horatio away Calleigh took her boss' place, "Ryan?" she asked placing a hand on his shoulder; he flinched away instantly. "Hey what's wrong?"

"How can you touch me after what you read?" he chocked out and leaned away from Calleigh, "Eric sure didn't want to stick around." He continued.

"Oh…hey H would you mind giving us some space for a bit?" the blonde asked and Horatio nodded before leaving the room. The door shut with a soft click and Calleigh wrapped her arms around man sitting next to her, not the least bit shocked when he turned and clung to her and began crying harder. "Oh Ryan. It's ok, none of that was your fault. None of it, you should know better than to think that." She whispered rocking back and forth.

"I know, but just seeing all your faces and then Eric…" he stopped mid-sentence realizing what he was fixing to say.

"Just stormed out like a bat out of hell? I'd be pretty upset if the person I liked just upped and left after news like that too." Calleigh said.

"Wait you know?!"

"Uh Ryan? CSI? It's my job to put evidence together." She smirked at Ryan's expression but at least he stopped crying. "And don't worry Eric doesn't know, he's a good CSI but not so good at people's feelings." Ryan chuckled slightly and Calleigh grinned.

"So what's going to happen now?" he asked after a moment of silence.

"We go back to working like we always do. Just need to be more alert about our surroundings now is all." She answered. The door opened and the two looked up to see Horatio and Eric in the doorway.

"Ryan I want you to go home and rest. Your shifts almost over anyway so it's not like you wouldn't be leaving soon anyway. And I want someone to drive you."

"I can." Calleigh said right away.

"Sorry but I you're needed in the lab, there was a bullet found in the bloody book you found they need your help identifying it."

"I'll take him H." Eric said startling everyone. "It's the end of my shift anyway, no evidence will be ready until tomorrow and his place is on my way."

"Thanks for the offer but I can drive." Ryan spoke up.

"Not until we get you a new car to drive. Wolfe senior probably already knows what car you drive and where you live so you're also going to need a temporary place to stay at, which I've already arranged with Eric." Horatio said in a tone that left no room for argument.

Ryan opened his mouth to protest but then sighed, "Fine."

Yes it's short I'm sorry! . ; but if I didn't end it here then this chapter would be super long and then the next chapter would be very short and I'm sure you don't want that.
