A new life Sequel To A Kind Of Life CSI MIAMI fanfic

Allie

I haven't spoken to him since that quarrel in the lab. This asshole I considered different was exactly the same shit as any other. He dumped me just like that, in front of this friend of his.... I felt so humiliated... All the girls in the break room had fun when they heard, I'm sure...I didn't talk to him at all for 2 days or so, today I took some of his things with me to give them back with a sarcastic comment I was practising all evening.
When I didn't find him in the lab I went to Sheila - Thomas' secretary, and asked her about Lee. She said that he reported himself ill yesterday, but stated he's gonna be ok today, however no sign of him. Thomas wasn't at work yet, so it was just her who knew- and now me.
I decided to call him from the office number - if he puts up the phone, I'll just hear if he's ok. But there was no answer. The cell phone stated ' the person you're trying to reach is currently unavailable' Hmm.
I went to the break room and met Eli there. Eli was here for the first time, as his wife gave birth to twins.
"Congratulations man !" I hugged him.
"Thanks. I'm sorry for your boyfriend. " Fast news, I thought.
"He wasn't my boyfriend actually. I'll find better one." I smiled nervously.
"But.... "Eli hestitated... "I thought you were..."
"Yes. He dumped me. 2 days ago."
"So I guess you won't visit him? You know- sometimes it's better to forgive someone before he..."
He stopped. "Whatever Allie, I'm sorry for being nosy."
"Wait, Eli ,what do you mean?"
"He's at hospital, didn't you know?"
"What????"
"My sister works at ER and she told me about him. That the ambulance brought him yesterday after a car accident.
He's in pretty bad shape. I thought you knew....I'm sorry. "
"No, no... It's good you told me. Thank you Eli." I stormed out.
I parked my car in front of the hospital and went straight onto the reception desk. There was a nice young girl talking on the phone. When she finished, she asked me a standard question
"how can I help you?"
"My boyfriend was rushed here after the car accident."
"When?"
"Yesterday. "She gave me a surprised look "yesterday?"
"Yeah...I didn't know...we had a fight and broke up. I found out today."
"Ok..., name?"
"Jones. Lee Jones."
She wrote sth and started clicking.
"No....sorry madam. We don't have this name in a database..."
"Can you check again?"
"I've already checked ....."she saw my anger..." But ok. Jones? "
"Yeah. "
"Nothing Ma'am. I'm sorry. "
"But you have someone from a traffic accident?"
"I can't say that Ma'am. Privacy policy. Maybe somewhere else?"
"Where? There's only one hospital here...please...just tell me, if you had such a case yesterday. No names. Please....What would you do if you were me?"
She looked at me sadly... "Probably the same.... All I can say is we had 3 people from emergency yesterday, all three from shootout and that's all I know. None of them is Jones."
"Are they all here?"
"No. One is in the morgue unfortunately."
My heart suddenly stopped. Jesus Christ what if...?
"All I can suggest Ma'am is to go to surgical wing and see if you recognize his family members. I can't help more."
"Thank you! I will. " What family members? A thought struck me. He's got no family... But I looked at the information board and went straight to 2nd floor.
It was a long ward. About 20 rooms... I can't enter each one of them without being asked who i
I'm looking for... Half of them were women. That's good! I can do it.
In the 3rd room in a row I saw a familiar face. That was the guy that accopanied Lee...
"Hello...remember me?"
He opened his eyes and said "yeah....you're the girl from the lab."
"Yeah right...I'm looking for Lee. He had an accident so I heard".
"Yeah, he did. But I don't think he's here."
"Then where?"
"I guess at ICU... "
I turned around and wanted to leave, but he stopped me.
"You won't find Lee Jones there."
"What? You told me to..."
"Look for Timothy Speedle."
I looked at him closely "how d'you know?"
"I just know. Hurry up."
I went downstairs and asked about Timothy...Tim? So this really WAS his name?
I entered the room nr 2 and saw him lying there, connected to life-support machine. His pale face was all bruised- I knew that he had a cranial injury- the purple bruises around his eyes were very visible. The room was quiet, only the beeping and air sucking sound were audible. In the corner there was a man, sitting on his chair with his head down. I came quietly near Lee... and the man suddenly got up.
"Who are you? "He asked.
"I'm Allie, Lee's friend."
"Lee's? "He asked. I pointed my finger at him.
"Oh...I didn't know this name before..." he came closer
"I'm Eric. Hi."
"Hello. What's happened here?"
"Car accident and other injuries caused by the guy, who wanted him dead. If not the FBI agent who was protecting him, and our on - time arrival, he would be dead by now."
"FBI agent ? Tall blond guy?"
"Yeah. Andrews. "
"He's here.At the surgical ward".
"Thank god he's ok. We wouldn't like him to die because of the killer, considered previously as one of us. Speed would be killed earlier, if Andrews didn't show up there before us."
"Speed??"
"Yeah. You didn't know his nick, I suppose? "
"No, I didn't even know his real name. Only some facts from life. So who's the real he?"
"Well. Now I can tell you. Hes level 4 CSI, a dayshift supervisor in a Miami Dade crime lab, a specialist with the double degree from Columbia University, a police officer, a deadman and my best friend. Chose the one you like best. "He smiled.
"Wow " I said. "I saw his abilities while he was working here, but didn't know that much. Is he married?" Eric chuckled
"No. Devoted to his work I'd rather say. Are you interested?"
"I was. But he dumped me. Few days ago."
"Don't be too harsh for him. 3 days ago he found out, that Cooper - the killer- is after him. So probably that was the real reason."
"It doesn't matter now. He's probably coming back to Miami after he gets better"
"That won't happen soon I'm afr.."
The door opened with a swing and I saw a red haired man and a beautiful blonde storming inside.
She suddenly stopped and covered her mouth with her hand... "Oh my God...so it's true....Speed.."
She sat next to him and touched his cheek with warmth.
"Oh God..  I don't believe it..." The tears ran down her eyes. The older man looked at him shocked, with a concern on his face. Then he noticed me.
"Hello, I'm Horatio Caine, Tim's boss, and you are?"
"I'M Allie, Lee's boss" I smiled lightly
"Nice to meet you, Allie. This is my team at the very best of days.Together again."
Blond woman turned around and shook my hand- I'm Calleigh Duquesne , Tim's friend. Nice to meet you."
I nodded my head but understood one simple thing-
I could never compete with this girl. Woman. And she was visibly interested in him, even if she hasn't realized it yet.
"I need to run now, but I'll drop in later. It was nice to meet all of you."
"You too, Allie. See you later.."
