the usual life of the CSIs becomes very tiring with the new psycho in the city. Even your worst colleague is a precious partner when it comes to catching a killer. Plus personal problems and joy of few makes everything harder and some are back in tr...
He was woken up by a loud bang and he felt the hit. Couldn't open his eyes as his head was one big pain. Shit. What happened? Then he heard some people talking loudly in the distance and then just ... lost it. Tryin to open his eyes again he smelt the chemical substance. Yeah. He was at hospital. So made an effort and finally opened his eyes. Delko was sitting next to him in a bloody t-shirt and his head wrapped with bandage. His eyebrow was stitched. "Thank God, Speed. You scared me to death." "What happened?" "Someone hit us when we were turning left at the lights. Straight into your side. I thought you're dead...I'd never forgive myself if..." "It wasn't your fault right?" "Yeah. Wasn't. But still..." The very moment the Curtain opened and the doctor came in. "How are you?" "Well I guess." "You were lucky. Probably because you were asleep, and your body loosened a bit. How are you mr. delko.?" "Fine. " "He'll hook the girls on the scar" Speed laughed out. "Well have you seen yours?" The doc smiled. He looked into the small mirror- right eyebrow stitched and swollen forehead. Black eye and a stitched place on his right . not so bad. "Any other?" "No. Lucky guy you are". "Yeah. So I'm leaving. Tonight." "No you aren't. You're being treaten as a probable concussion so sorry. Not tonight." "But my daughter needs me. And my wife!" W"e called neonatal ward and they will manage. One more day mr. Speedle. The good thing I can provide you with is the info, that your wife started moving her hands. So soon to come. Her waking up. She needs you healthy. So be good and let yourself heal. " "Well.. I'm...not feeling my legs Like normal. They're weak. " "Yeah. That's because we knew you'd like to leave. It's a precaution". Doc laughed." I must say it was hard to dope you." He looked quickly at Eric. "I'll check on Courtney". Eric left but stopped quietly outside the curtain. "Were you taking and drugs? these kind of problems occur only in special cases." "You mean medicines?" Speed asked "No. I mean DRUGS. Like amphetamine. Cases like addicts, to be exact" he looked closely and Speed knew it's no way out. "Yeah. " Eric was shocked. Couldn't say a word but was completely shocked. He didn't know about that. Did H. Know? He wondered. "How long?" "A month. Then a break and again." "Pills?" "Yeah. " Speed sighed. "Then meth injections. No more now. " "Are you ...healthy? You know.." "I am. I was doing the tests". Aren't you a police officer?" "Forensics." Speed lied" Yeah. I know I shouldn't. I'd prefer this conversation to stay between you and me." "Of course. But if I find any of the substance in your blood, I'll have to inform your supervisor." "You won't. I stopped as I said." "Ok. We'll sign you out tomorrow if you like. You shouldn't use any phone and laptops but I'm allowing you to make an internal call to neonatal according to your ... Situation. " "Thanks." He picked the number and asked the nurse who was already in about the current situation about his daughter. "She's fine. Your brother's here and taking care of her. Oh. And your wife is ready to wake up. So no worries. Until you're back tomorrow we'll cherish her". He put up the phone and fell asleep. Woke up in the late evening. Harry was sitting next to him. Speed's head was heavy and felt a bit ... blurry. "Hi... How're ya?" "Better. Even the headache is gone. How's Ava?" "Good. I need to tell you something but promise me you won't do anything stupid". "What's wrong?" His heart stopped. He sat abruptly. "Courtney's awake." "What? Why didn't you tell me?" He was trying to move his legs but with no luck 'What the fuck...' He felt sick. Harry gave him the container he was still holding and Speed threw up strongly. "That's because of medicines. You got them to prevent what you just did. And to be sure there's no head trauma. I'm here to inform you about everything but you must remain calm so they gave you something.So.... She woke up and she noticed the lack of the belly. Asked about it and was informed about Ava's being born". "Is she...ok?" "Yeah. No damage to the brain, no problems with talking or movements. The only problem is she has problems with standing up which is normal after such a long time. I'll take care of it. And she doesn't remember anything after colapsing on the beach". "Maybe it's better?" "Yeah. She asked about you but the doctors decided you shouldn't show up yet. We told her you're out the city with CSI duties. And that you were informed she woke up. And you'll call as soon as they reach you" "What???? Why?" "Have you seen your face? She's fragile and shouldn' t see you like that." "How long. ..?" "3- 4 days. I will be next to her. Don't worry. " "It' s me who should be there. She'll think I've abandoned her". "No. We told her you were there all the time. She needs peace Tim. It' s for her own good". "Harry...tell me it's all true. You're not making this up right? For my good?" "I got a picture for ya. See for yourself" HArry smiled and took out his cell. Clicked and handed it over to Speed.

"Oh my god... " Speed's eyes immediately filled with tears. "Gee. She looks ...ok." "She IS ok. Let her recover for 3- 4 days. You can call her tomorrow morning. Doc promised" "Ok. "He felt sick again. He took the container fast and repeated the throwing up. "Geee.... Why am I like that?" "Sedatives side effect. Will pass soon. Don't worry. Now try to get some sleep.In the morning you'll feel better." He he hugged him and left. Speed was sitting alone in the dark. He still felt nauseous but finally stopped vomiting. His head felt like exploding. He couldn't stop thinking about his daughter and wife. He wanted to see them badly, but agreed on the condition. Waking up in the morning he felt better. He was waiting for the doc. When he finally came with the phone, Speed dialled. "Hello? Tim?" The voice was quiet. "Hi baby... I'm so happy to hear you.. So happy you woke up. I thought it will never happen, and you'll get no chance to see our beautiful daughter..." "I'm fine Tim. Don't worry. And yes. She's so pretty " "I'm sorry I'm not there right now. Be back as soon as possible". "I know. I know you were here all the time. Come back soon. I want to see you so much." "Me too." The doc peeped and Speed knew he needs to end it. " I need to go. Wait for me. Be back soon". He fell on the pillow. He felt so tired. Head still hurt but no nausea. He wanted to sit up straight. "Easy pal " Eric's voice told him from behind. "Hi. I want to use the bathroom. Will you help me?" "Sure. " "Delko.. "Speed said coming back- "do you think everything will be fine from now on?" "Yeah. Soon, Speed. You both deserve it."
