Horatio tried to keep his grip gentle as he held the younger man.

It had been a simple home invasion gone wrong when they had first gotten the call but the evidence had brought up more and more questions instead of the easy answers they had expected.

A hidden world of adult online reality shows, secret cameras and now what seemed to be cyber-stalking of his CSI's… Because he knew without a doubt that the man whose arms he still had pinned, who was still, almost eerily, silent as he struggled to hide away from everything would never have signed up for… this.

Horatio had been the only one to move, everyone else was still shocked and silent, staring at the video had been playing… been playing, an ad must have popped up while the redhead was busy wrangling his CSI.

"What a terrible way to be found out." He thought as the person still in his arms finally stopped struggling to get out of them.

"What a terrible way to find out." Was his second thought, honestly he should be angrier that it had been kept a secret for so long… kept from HIM for so long.

But the silent struggling had been replaced by soft, terrified, animal-like panting, interspersed with the saddest cry he'd ever heard in his entire career and he couldn't bring that anger to the surface.

Online adult reality TV using hidden cameras, emphasis on adult and hidden.

Sure it was a backlog, video archived from years ago… that anyone could watch… with enough patience for ads… or a premium account.

A full-screen version of Ryan Wolfe, wanton, panting, begging and splayed out… Beneath the now long dead Timothy Speedle.

"...Ryan."

All he got was a sharp wail, almost brutally uttered, as though Ryan's self-control was being run over barbed wire. Perhaps he should have stuck with 'Mr Wolfe', but it seemed too distant at this point.

Not that it mattered, he'd get nothing from the younger man in this state.

But he knew… Neither Wolfe nor Speed would ever have signed up to be watched like this, which meant, at least for now, Ryan was suddenly on their suspect list.

But he wasn't the only person on it, if neither Speed nor Ryan would have signed up for the "Show", how many others were on it without their knowledge or permission. And had any of them found out?

They had an entire backlog to go through.

"Eric… go through the videos with Calleigh… see who else was filmed and cross check it with people living in or visiting Miami… Jesse, Walter, run the data, see who else was running this… site, I doubt it was a one man operation."

His team finally seemed to pull out of their haze and notice he had his hands full. His glare dared them to say anything to the man he was holding.

They didn't.

But he knew questions would come later, along with remorse, some misplaced some not, he thought, remembering how unkind they all were when Wolfe first joined the crime lab, and accusations.

Honestly, Horatio probably knew why Ryan had kept such a big secret, and for so long. At first, Ryan would have felt that using his relationship with Speedle at the crime was somehow cheating, that it was just like using a corpse as a stepping stone.

Then… well, they'd slowly started to accept him… too damn slowly… Bringing it up years later, would have just felt cruel and pointless for everyone.

But now it had been brought up, in the worst way Horatio had never considered.
