***I wrote this fic before I found out more about the episode "Sink Or Swim". ***
Ryan sat in the tiny room, bruised and bloody after being beaten. He didn't know who had taken him, but he knew that they were Russian. They wanted him to tamper with evidence so that their associate wouldn't be blamed for a murder. Ryan had refused and that's why they'd beaten him up. Ryan was absolutely exhausted. He passed out.
A man looked in on him and saw the bruises. "Who did this?" He asked in a booming voice. His associates came forward.
"You told us to make sure he did what we wanted. He refused. I had no choice. I did what I had to do in order to get him to agree." One said.
"I did NOT want him harmed, you IDIOT! How is he supposed to get things done unnoticed when he looks like that?" He punched his minion.
"Sorry, boss." The man said, wiping his nose with a handkerchief.
"Bring the other one in." The boss said. Another man (with a bag over his head) was brought into the room with Ryan and the boss man. The sack was removed from the other man's head. "Hello, Eric."
Eric looked and saw Ryan passed out. Eric's hands were untied. "Ryan? Ryan!" Eric said, moving to Ryan's side and trying to wake him. He looked up at the man in charge. "What the hell did you do to him?"
"I did nothing. It was the incompetent imbeciles who work for me. That wasn't supposed to happen."
"Ryan, wake up, man."
Ryan started to come to. "Eric?"
"Yeah, it's me."
"I had the worst dream. I was kidnapped and they wanted me to destroy evidence in a murder case. I said no and they beat me up, but I still refused." He sat up and opened his eyes. "Oh, God! It wasn't a dream. Eric, they got you too?"
"Yeah."
"I'm sorry, Ryan." The boss man said.
"You're sorry?" Ryan said. "I've screwed up and lost my job before and nearly didn't get it back. Now you're trying to make me commit a crime and on top of losing my job again, I could also go to jail!"
"That won't happen, Ryan; I promise you that I won't let that happen." Eric told him.
"Well, if it happens to him, it'll happen to you as well." One of the minions said. "After all, you're going to be helping him."
"Or what? You'll kill us? You're just going to do that afterwards anyway."
"No, Eric." The boss said. "I would never hurt either of you."
"You wouldn't huh? Look at him!" Eric said angrily.
"I told you that was not done by my say so."
"Why don't I believe you?"
"Jackson, come here now!" The boss bellowed.
"Yes, sir?"
"I've thought it over and I've decided what to do about you not following the rules. I specifically told you that neither of them were to be harmed. Look what you did to Ryan... and it looks as if you gave Eric a shiner too."
"He was fighting me."
"No! I don't want to hear your excuses."
"Yes, sir."
"You know that there are penalties for disobeying me." The boss pulled out a gun and shot Jackson in the head. "Clean this up and let this be a lesson to you all. If these two are harmed in anyway by any of you, you'll suffer the same fate as Jackson." The boss walked out.
"I would advise you both to do as the boss asks, otherwise an innocent little boy will pay the price." Another of the minions said.
"You've kidnapped an innocent child?" Delko asked.
"Oh, God!" Ryan exclaimed. "Billy!"
"That's right, Mr. Wolfe. We've got Billy. The boss may have barred us from hurting either of (though I don't know why), but Billy is fair game." He walked out of the room leaving the two CSIs alone.
"What are we going to do, Eric?"
"I don't know, Ryan."
"Why do you think he doesn't want us hurt?"
"I think he may be my biological father."
"Okay, so why doesn't he want me harmed?"
"I don't know."
"We've got to get out of here and save Billy. He's just a kid. He doesn't deserve any of this. Damn Mark for getting himself mixed up with this mess. It's all his fault!"
"Ryan, try to stay focused, okay? We've got to find a way out of here."
The door opened and the boss walked back in. "Now boys, I suspect you're wondering why I don't want you harmed?"
"As a matter of fact, we were," Ryan said.
"You're my father, aren't you?" Eric asked.
"That's right, Eric."
"So, why do you want me unharmed?" Ryan asked.
"Ryan, did you parents ever tell you that you were adopted?"
"Yes, after my siser, my parents wanted another kid, but were unable to conceive so they adopted me. "What does that have to do with this?"
"Ryan, I am your father."
"No! That can't be true! That's impossible!" Ryan raged, aggravating his wounds in the process. "Ow!" He grabbed his side.
"Easy there, Skywalker." Eric teased his friend. Well, if what the Russian was telling them was true, then Ryan was his half brother. How weird is that, Eric thought.
"I was told that my biological parents were dead."
"Your mother is; she was in a car accident shortly after you were born. I put you up for adoption to protect you from my enemies." He paused. "So you and Eric are brothers."

Yeah, they do act like siblings, especially when they are quallering. :lol: I used to write a whole bunch of original stories, but I kept getting stuck on most of them. :lol:
