#10 Years
It had been years since he’s seen his little brother. He was only ten when Speed had left home. Now he was following in his older brother’s footsteps. He’d enrolled at the University of Miami as a graduate student. His mother had called him to give him the news a coupe of weeks ago.
They didn’t speak much because his parents didn’t approve of the life he chosen and they certainly didn’t approve of his relationship with Horatio. But none of that mattered much to him. His brother was excited about seeing him again and that was all that mattered.
#14 Black
He searched everywhere. He’d turned his bedroom upside down, rifled through the laundry, looked under the bed, in the bathroom. It wasn’t a big apartment. He couldn’t remember what he’d done with them. He briefly wondered if he’d left them in his locker at work but he knew he wouldn’t have. Then he thought maybe he’d left them at Horatio’s but he wouldn’t have left pantsless.
He tried to remember the last time he’d worn them when it dawned on him. Horatio, mister neat, had stayed over. He opened the closet and found his favorite black jeans on a hanger.
#28 Children
It was a habit he had picked up from Horatio. When things got too heavy at the lab and he felt like his only option was to resign or just disappear, he would hop on his bike and take a ride to the park. He had his favorite spot to sit, a nice shaded bench, under a tree at the edge of the park. He could see the children playing from that spot without looking like a pervert watching. It helped him to keep things in perspective. It reminded him that the world wasn’t such a bad place after all.
#48 Diamond
There were certain types of people Tim just couldn’t relate to. He knew the moment the victim’s wife walked into the interrogation room that she was one of those people. She was one of those people with too much time on her hands. She was someone with too much money who lived in a too big house and wore too much expensive jewelry just because she could. And she made a point of flaunting it. When she shook Speed’s hand she made sure he saw the five-karat diamond ring her late husband had given her. And he really hated that.
#53 Earth
Tim worked his way around the outside of the house carefully examining the ground around him. He needed to find something, some type of evidence to nail the guy that killed the people who lived in the house. He was prepared to spend the entire day examining every inch of earth beneath him to find what he needed. There was evidence in the house that the perpetrator had been in the yard watching the family. Tim knew he had to leave something of himself behind in the yard. And he wasn’t going to give up until he found that something.
