Disclaimer: I think we all know that I don’t own them, cause if I did…. Anyway. Various executives, producers, studios, and writers who have more lawyers on retainer than I want to mess with – own them. I’m not making any money, just borrowing them. I promise to return them to the lab when I’m done with them

Challenge: 100 Drabbles – Horatio Caine/Timothy Speedle

Some wonder why they do it. Why they fight so hard. Why they wear themselves down searching for that one clue.

They don’t do it for the money.

They don’t do it for the fame.

They don’t even do it for each other.

They do it for the strangers. The ones they never met. The ones that need them to speak for them.

It’s them they fight for. It’s them they break down for. It’s them they hold onto each other to help keep the nightmares at bay. It’s them they get up and do it again the next day for.
