Statues Without Eyes

"I'm sorry Sylar,"Ryan looked down.
"He's ok right? I mean he's just going to the hospital and he'll be fine right?"I looked at him as he was about to speak when I seen Tara walk past us with her kit,"No, please god no."
"I'm so sorry,"Ryan pulled me into a hug as I cried into his shoulder the tears that I could no longer hold back.
As I cried into his shoulder, I heard someone walk up to us which I knew it was either my dad or Jake. Chances are it was my dad but still.
"Sylar, I'm going to have to take you down to the station,"Horatio mentioned.
"What? Why? I didn't do anything,"I looked at him quickly.
"I know sweetheart,"He smiled taking off his sunglasses,"I just need to ask you some questions about Drake."
"Ok,"I nodded as I dried my eyes and got off the back of the car.

I rode with Tripp to the station which was weird since I was half numb half confused about everything that was going on. Sitting in the interigation room, I tried to get my mind to think while I sat there waiting for someone to walk into the room with me. As I sat there, Stettler walked in along with Horatio who sat next to me.
"I didn't do anything, Rick,"I glared at him,"So you even think of implying anything."
"Maybe you know something."
"Yeah like I'd kill one of my good friends,"I glared.
"Rick,"Horatio warned.
"Maybe he was getting too good for being just a friend and you got jealous, ordered someone to kill him."
"Unbelieveble,"I mumbled then got pissed,"Were like a freakin' family Rick! I can't believe you're even suggesting that I'd kill him. He was like my brother! Who just died and you're sitting here trying to blame me! You need to look at other possibilites."
"Give me something then."
"Russian mob,"I glared,"They've been after me for a while."
"I need hard evidence and all I'm getting is jealousy."
"You son of a bitch!"I went to lunge at him but Horatio stopped me.
"That's enough,"Horatio held me back,"We're done here."

Horatio pulled me out into the hall which I rubbed my temple trying to shake the tears and anger that were coming over me.
"I'm sorry H,"I mumbled looking at him.
"It's ok,"He smiled lightly at me,"Why don't you take the rest of the day off with Mr. Wolfe and I'll talk to Stettler."
"I want to help you guys,"I looked at him.
"You will, just let me take care of this ok?"
"Ok,"I nodded then hugged him tightly.
"It'll be ok,"He rubbed my back as I pulled away from him with tears in my eyes.
"I swear I didn't do anything,"I wiped the tears of my eyes.
"I know,"He smiled.
"Ready?"asked Ryan as he walked up to us.
"Take care of her Mr. Wolfe,"Horatio added.
"I will,"He smiled putting an arm around me to take me back to his house.

Once we were there, I sat on the couch as he handed me a stiff drink.
"Thank you,"I smiled lightly at him but still really emotionless.
"I heard what Stettler tried to do."
"He's an asshole,"I mumbled then took a sip off the drink,"I swear it's not fair. My closest friend is dead and I'm being treated like a suspect."
"Horatio will work it out."
"Thank you,"I leant into his shoulder as he rested his head on my mine,"You're saying the right things right now."
"It'll be ok,"He kissed the top of my head as I felt my eyes slowly grow heavy from whatever it was.

A few hours later, I woke up half laying on Ryan as he was in the corner of the couch sleeping as well. He looked so cute as he slept which brought a smile to my face for a bit before he woke up a bit.
"Hey,"He yawned at me.
"Hey,"I smiled lightly at him.
"Are you feeling any better?"
"A little, I can't cry anymore,"I sat up,"Tears are all dried up."
"I wish I could tell you it'll get easier but you know that I'd be lying."
"I know,"I watched him as he sat up.
"You hungry?"
"No,"I shook my head.
"I didn't think so."
"It's still early,"I looked at the clock,"Today's going to be the longest day of my life I swear."
"We could go rent a movie or something,"He suggested.
"Nothing sad,"I looked at him,"I don't care what mood I'm in, I hate chick flicks."
"Well that's something I could learn to love about you,"He smiled standing up as I slowly got up.
"I feel bad,"I smiled a bit at him,"I even thought about having sex with you tonight but now-"
He rolled his eyes for a second which I thought was cute,"Damn that Russian mob."
"Sorry,"I shrugged.
"Don't be,"He kissed me lightly on the lips,"I understand. Now I'll be back, you just relax here, ok?"
"Ok,"I nodded as he grabbed his keys then headed out the door as I went to get a drink again then the bathroom.
