[‘Fun For Me’ - Moloko]
The question of what he was going to do next had weighed heavily on Speed's mind during those first days in the hospital.
First and foremost, there was the IAB investigation to get through. Tim knew that was going to be a load of laughs in the most sarcastic sense of the phrase. He already had a black mark on his record from Dispo Day; having the same thing happen again not two years later was practically damning, especially considering the fact that what could be construed as his negligence had nearly gotten him killed. Just about the only thing he had on his side was Calleigh's examination of his gun, which had proven that his gun had jammed because of a mechanical failure and not because he'd been lapse in cleaning it.
And then there was the question that kept him awake at night: did he want to go back to work? This was the third time in three years he'd come close to being killed, and the second time it had occurred in the line of duty. He thought about his family up in New York, in particular his younger brother. Maybe this was a sign that he was supposed to leave Miami and try to rebuild his bond with his family before something really unfortunate happened. Of course, it would be an easier decision to make if it turned out that he wouldn't have a job to go back to once he got out of the hospital...
But then he would remember Tess Kimball and Michelle Cormier. He remembered Wally Schmagin. He remembered asking Horatio "why forensics?", and getting his answer in seeing H talk to Michelle Cormier's folks about the arrest of their daughter's killer. Tim was still needed to help speak on the behalf of victims like them, to help bring closure to their families.
But, all of that rested on IAB's findings. Which meant that, for the time being, his entire future was in limbo.
