Once Upon a Time~Chapter 2

Once upon a time in Miami Dade County, more precisely, the Miami Dade Crime Lab…

The lab, he noticed, was busy as usual. Today was only his third day here. He turned his attention back to the microscope in front of him as Eric came into the trace lab…

He always compares me to Speed, I'm not Speed…

Eric wondered over to where Ryan was, and stood next to him and didn't say anything. There was an awkward silence between the two and finally Eric broke the silence just as the printer shot some papers out of it.

"I'm assuming those are the results?" Eric asked flatly

"Yeah" Ryan replied handing them to Eric without looking at them

"Thanks" Eric said reading the results as he made his way out of the trace lab.

Ryan just shook his head and looked back through the microscope just as the elevator dinged making him look up to see who it was.

The elevator dinged and she looked up as the doors opened. She stepped out of the elevator and started towards Horatio's office…

Ryan watched as she walked off the elevator and towards Horatio's office.

I thought I had already met everyone? He thought

She had dark red almost red-brown hair and dark blue eyes. She noticed him watching her, and she smiled slightly and he looked back down at the trace sample that he was supposed to be analyzing

She smiled slightly when she noticed the short brown haired guy watching her curiously. It's like he was trying to figure her out just by watching. She continued to walk turning her attention to the fast approaching Eric

"Is there something I can help you with?" She asked

"Have you seen H?" He asked glancing around the room

"He's not here?" She asked "I was just going to talk to him"

Eric looked just behind her to see that Horatio was in the trace lab talking with Ryan.

"Hey I need to go" Eric said moving around her and walking towards the trace lab

Ryan looked up when he heard the door to the trace lab open and noticed that Horatio had entered the lab.

"Mr. Wolfe…"

Here we go again…

"Mr. Wolfe!" Horatio said getting Ryan to turn his attention away from the red headed girl that he didn't even know he turned his attention to and towards himself.

"Sorry H" Ryan said quietly

"Do you have the results?" Horatio asked ignoring the incident that just happened for now

"I gave them to Eric" Ryan replied

"Alright thanks Mr. Wolfe" Horatio said as he turned to leave the trace lab "Mr. Wolfe try and keep your eyes to yourself"

"H I don't know what you're talking about" Ryan said nervously

"Keep your eyes off her or I'll place a bullet between your eyes" Horatio said warningly just as Eric came back into the trace lab

"H I got the results" Eric said looking at the two of them curiously "Everything okay?"

"Mr. Wolfe and I were chatting" Horatio said smiling as he left the lab

"What was that about?" Eric said curiously

"He told me to keep my eyes off of that red head over there" Ryan said looking over to where the red head had her head down on the table in front of her sleeping soundly

"I would listen to Horatio" Eric said looking at the red head

"Anyways who's going to wake her up?" Ryan asked not taking his eyes off of her

"Usually Speed would, but now H would do it" Eric said pulling a air horn out of the one of the draws beside him

Eric walked towards the other side of the trace lab and stood beside the sleeping red head and then pushed down the button on the top of the air horn making it go off loudly.

"SPEED WHAT THE HELL!" She said shooting out of her seat. She looked around and realized speed wasn't there but Eric was "Oh…"

"Need a minute" Eric replied putting the blow horn away

She nodded and he walked over to where Ryan was working and trying not to laugh.

Eric and Ryan chatted some more as she regained her composure. Eric laughed and left the trace lab a new folder in hand, and Ryan was still laughing.

She rolled her eyes and walked over to where Ryan Wolfe was working on analyzing some trace evidence and where Eric just was.

"Can I help you with something?" she asked flatly making him look up "Ryan?"

"Dani?" he replied a smile spreading across his face

"Ryan Wolfe" Ryan said smiling

"Danika Caine" Dani replied
