Title<\/strong>: Fix Yourself
\nAuthor<\/strong>: Bj Jones
\nRating<\/strong>: FRM
\nSummary<\/strong>: He was tired of fixing it\u2026<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Horatio watched as the suspect was lead away. Another victim spoken for, another case solved. He moved back into the precinct, slowly moving towards his office, tired and at the edge of his rope. He was a few feet from his office when his pager went off. ‘Dead body \u2013 Mayor\u2019s Mansion’.<\/p>\n

Grabbing his phone, he moved back down the hallway towards the front doors. “Tripp, talk to me.”<\/p>\n

\u2018Maid found dead in private bathroom of Miami-Dade’s Mayor,’<\/em> the detective answered. ‘He’s asking for you specifically to work the case.’<\/em><\/p>\n

“Why me?” Horatio asked. “He must know if I even suspect there’s foul play I will arrest him.”<\/p>\n

‘You’re Miami’s guardian angel,’<\/em> Tripp said with his normal drawl. ‘And that’s a quote.’<\/em><\/p>\n

Caine slammed his phone shut and headed for the Hummer. There were times when he wanted to tell Miami-Dade to go fuck itself.<\/p>\n

Drunk and I’m feeling down
\n<\/em>And I just wanna be alone
\n<\/em>I’m pissed cause you came around
\n<\/em>Why don’t you just go home
\n<\/em>Cause you channel all your pain
\n<\/em>And I can’t help to fix myself
\n<\/em>You\u2019re making me insane
\n<\/em>All I can say is<\/em><\/p>\n

Horatio snapped the gloves off as he finished collecting the evidence. He glanced at his watch and sighed; five minutes to midnight. Well there had gone his plans of a nice relaxing evening, a. nice dinner, maybe a soak in the tub, curling up with his lover. The victim was a young woman, barely out of her teens. The Lieutenant looked up at the Mayor, who stood there expectantly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere is her family?\u201d he asked the couple.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe didn\u2019t have any,\u201d the Mayor\u2019s wife said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs she legally here?\u201d Horatio watched as the body was removed. He would have to talk to Alexx in the morning, but he had a good idea what had taken place. The blood pool was distinct and located in a central location.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not sure what you\u2019re implying; we don\u2019t hire illegal immigrants!\u201d the Mayor snapped.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen you won\u2019t mind me asking for her papers so I can locate any relatives.\u201d The Lieutenant glanced over at Tripp. \u201cFind out if she had contact with anyone outside the estate, specifically a boyfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBoyfriend?\u201d Miami\u2019s First Lady asked, shocked. \u201cShe was a good girl\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing the evidence, ma\u2019am.\u201d Horatio grabbed his kit and headed for the door.<\/p>\n

\u201cLieutenant Caine, we can be sure of your discretion on this unfortunate situation.\u201d The Mayor gripped the redhead\u2019s arm.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis unfortunate situation is a dead twenty year old woman,\u201d Horatio reminded them as he pulled away and walked down the hall.<\/p>\n

I tear my heart open, I sow myself shut
\n<\/em>My weakness is that I care too much
\n<\/em>My scars remind me that the past is real
\n<\/em>I tear my heart open just to feel<\/em><\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

He looked down at the young woman laid out on the autopsy table. \u201cCause of death?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBled to death.\u201d Alexx soothed back the dark hair. \u201cPoor thing didn\u2019t stand a chance; she started hemorrhaging and just bled out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat caused the hemorrhaging?\u201d Horatio asked.<\/p>\n

The ME handed him her report. \u201cComplication of giving birth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo she had a baby and then began to hemorrhage and bled out.\u201d Horatio looked down at the report. \u201cTime of death?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI would say between eight and nine pm,\u201d Alexx informed him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks Alexx.\u201d He gave her a nod and left the autopsy theatre, heading for the DNA Lab.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still going through the samples,\u201d Valera apologized. \u201cIt\u2019s going to take a while before the results come back; I\u2019ll page as soon as I find any abnormalities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks, Valera.\u201d The Lieutenant moved back towards his office pausing slightly out of the Trace Lab.<\/p>\n

Speed looked up from the microscope, catching his lover staring at him. He set down the pen and moved towards the door.<\/p>\n

\u201cH?\u201d He asked as the redhead walked into the lab.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust wanted to stop by and say Hi.\u201d Horatio leaned against the worktable.<\/p>\n

\u201cMissed you last night.\u201d Speed wanted to reach out and wipe away the stress from his lover\u2019s face.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell you know\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMiami never closes, but sometimes I wish she would stop calling my lover away.\u201d Tim sighed and then gave H a small smile. \u201cWhen she lets go for a moment, I\u2019ll have a hot bath and massage oils ready.\u201d<\/p>\n

Horatio ducked his head slightly. \u201cYou take good care of me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone has to.\u201d The scruffy Trace Expert ran a thumb over the freckled hand. \u201cGo do your thing and I\u2019ll see you when you get home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Horatio took comfort in the small touch. He turned and walked out of the lab and back to his office. He needed to find out where Miss Gonzales’ baby was and who was the father.<\/p>\n

I tried to help you once
\n<\/em>A kiss will only vise
\n<\/em>I saw you going down
\n<\/em>But you never realized
\n<\/em>That your drowning in the water
\n<\/em>So I offered you my hand
\n<\/em>Compassions in my nature
\n<\/em>Tonight is our last dance<\/em><\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

The Mayor stood at the make shift podium, beaming at the press about the fine work of the Miami-Dade Lab and Police departments, at how they worked hard and efficiently seeking justice for all victims. Horatio stood back, away from the impromptu press conference.<\/p>\n

He was tired.<\/p>\n

Tired of being the one they all turned to.<\/p>\n

Tired of being the one who had to tell the parents that their daughter died because she was too scared to tell the Mayor and his wife that she was pregnant.<\/p>\n

Tired of watching criminals walk away.<\/p>\n

Tired of standing behind the politicians as they eloquently took claim for the hard work for others.<\/p>\n

He was fucking tired of being Miami\u2019s Guardian Angel. For once he would like to tell the city to go fix its own damn problems and leave him alone.<\/p>\n

I can’t help you fix yourself
\n<\/em>But at least I can say I tried<\/em><\/p>\n

He heard it and his heart began to pound. The familiar roar of his lover\u2019s Ducati. He tracked the movement of the yellow machine as it maneuvered through the parking lot, pulling up to the front of the precinct stairs.<\/p>\n

Horatio glanced over at the Mayor still rattling on about the crime rates of Miami going down due to his hard work on making sure the lab became one of the top in the Nation.<\/p>\n

The redhead looked at his lover straddling the Ducati, wearing tight black jeans, a tight t-shirt and leather jacket. Speed gave him a warm smile, his eyes full of love and devotion.<\/p>\n

He made a decision.<\/p>\n

Miami-Dade can go fuck herself.<\/p>\n

He moved quickly down the stairs and settled onto the back of bike, slipping his arms around the slim waist as he whispered into his lover\u2019s ear, \u201cTake me home.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to now turn the podium over to Lieutenant Horatio Caine, who diligently works to keep our streets safe\u2026\u201d The Mayor turned and paused when he saw the redhead missing. He looked around catching the flash of red hair fly by on a yellow bike as it left the precinct parking lot.<\/p>\n

I’m sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
\n<\/em>I can’t help you fix yourself
\n<\/em>But at least I can say I tried
\n<\/em>I’m sorry but I gotta move on with my own life<\/em><\/p>\n
