Thanks guys. I suppose it's time to bring in the Speedy boy.
Speed turns his motorcycle into the Miami Dade Memorial Hospital Parking lot. He parked, got off, and took of his helmet. The hospital was a zoo, with civilians who hd been injuired in the explosions and shootings coming in and out. He walked over to the front of the hospital, took a deep breath, and walked inside.
In front of him, in the lobby, his four friends standing in front of him, Speed stopped. He felt sick- he hadn't seen these people forthree years, they believed he as dead. he started to turn back, but Alexx turned toward him adnd her face lit up. He stood there, not moving, feeling weak.
Alexx: Eric, Calleigh, Ryan...
Eric: Yeah Alexx?
A: Look at the door.
Everyone turns to see Speed. They all stay still for a long minute, then Calleigh rushes over to him
Calleigh: *hugs Speed*
Speed: *hugs Calleigh*
C: Tim...oh God Tim...
S: I'm so sorry, Calleigh. I'm so sorry.
C: *burries face into Speed's shoulder*
Eric, Ryan and Alexx watch. Then Alexx walks over to Speed, as Calleigh holds onto him tight, for a long few minutes
C: *lets go, crying*
A: *hugs Speed* Tim...
S: Alexx, I'm so sorry. I know the secret was too much for you, and I'm sorry I never talked to you...
A: *hugs tighter* Tim, don't. Explain later. Hug now.
Calleigh watches, crying, next to Alexx. Ryan and Eric stand, Eric in a sense of disbelief and anger. Ryan walks over
Ryan: Hi, Speedle.
S: *lets go of Alexx* Hi...um...
R: Ryan Wolfe.
S: Hey Wolfe.
R: Welcome back.
S: Thanks for being on the team.
R: They really missed you, Speed.
S: I know. *shakes Ryan's hand*
R: *shakes* I hope we can work together someday.
S: Me too.
Eric stands alone, staring at Speed and his three friends standing around him. Just then, Dr. William Johnson walks up.
Dr. William Johnson: Horatio's awake.
C: Speed, come with us. Let's go see him.
A: Come on.
S: I'll be right there.
Calleigh, Ryan and Alexx leave
S: I'm so sorry Eric.
E: I don't want to hear it.
S: I have no right to do what I did, it was terrible, but I still want to explain why. It's not an excuse, but it might make you understand to some degree what happened.
E: Speed, you have no idea what I went through. What all of us went through. Speed, I almost quit.
I wanted to die.
S:...
E: Whatever you say, it could never make up for what you did.
S:...I know.
E: *walks over*
S: I feel terrible-
E: *hugs* I love you, buddy.
