Ryan rushes around searching for evidence but makes sure he is thorough; the OCD in him wouldn’t have it any other way. As he starts to come around the corner he spots a man standing in front of Boa with a gun in his hand. Ryan’s mind freezes at first,” what the hell.” He takes a deep breath and takes off running towards the man yelling,” CSI OFFICER, PUT YOUR WEAPON DOWN AND YOUR HANDS UP NOW.” The man quickly drops the weapon and throws his hands up in the air without question. Ryan moves to him quickly kicking his gun away,” get down on your knees now.” The man goes down as fast as possible. Ryan looks at her,” are you ok Natalia?” Her lips quiver and all she can say is,” yes.” Ryan looks at the guy,” what is your problem? Why did you come after her with a gun?” The man looks up at him,” I’m sorry officer I didn’t know what she was doing here. I heard the gun shots earlier and it scared me. I’m on my way to work and I have to walk this way. I carry this gun for protection, that’s it. This is just a mistake I wasn’t going to hurt no one.” Ryan looks at her,” what did he say to you?” She tells him that the man asked her if she killed the men and he was just about to put his gun down when he came at him. Ryan turns around seeing a few patrol officers come running down for backup. He tells them what happened and turns the guy over to them. He looks up and sees a coroner coming down the alley, finally. But it’s not Alexx, where is Alexx he wonders. After wrapping up everything he finds Boa sitting on a curb trying to collect herself. He’s upset that she let her guard down and allowed someone to get to her, but then he realizes it happens, it happened to him and unfortunately he wasn’t as lucky as she was. He goes to her bending down in front of her,” are you ok Natalia?”
