CSI:Miami Road Trip 6: One Question. Are We There Yet?

Well you know, technically he didn't cheat because: (and here's where I start making lists)

1. I didn't get into the details of what they actually did.
2. He hadn't met Katie yet.
3. She broke up with him anyway.
4. Uh...The kid isn't his so no worries.

:lol:

SO anyway that's my list of events for the day! I'll have more chapters soon. And uh, if I'm getting into too many Speed storylines, just tell me to cut it out. :lol: ...Don't choke on anymore froot loops.

 

*coughs* He didn't cheat. *cough*

Love Is On The Run

Hummerhome, CSI Garage, 2 days later

Carly: What are you doing in here?

Delko: Fixing the pipes.

Carly: ..The pipes?

Delko: The pipes.

Carly: Why?

Delko: Because they need to be fixed.

Carly: Are we leaving or something?

Delko: No.

Carly: So you're fixing the pipes for nothing.

Delko: Yeah I'm good at that kind of thing. That and plumbing.

Carly: Oh really. I have a job for you.

Delko: What is it?

Carly: Anni dropped my ring down the toilet and flushed it.

Delko: So?

Carly: So I've been trying to get it out for two days.

Delko: Call a plumber.

Carly: That costs money.

Delko: So does a new ring.

Carly: Can you just help me?

Delko: Sorry I have to get this done.

Carly: We're not even going anywhere.

Delko: Sorry.

Carly: Ugh. *walks away*

Carly: You know how it's always gotta be the toilet?

Speed: Yeah.

Carly: I have a job for you.

Speed: No.

Carly: *lets go* Oh come on.

Speed: No.

Carly: If Josh finds out Anni lost my ring he'll kill me.

Speed: No he won't.

Carly: How would you know?

Speed: *frowns*

Carly: Okay fine. But please? I promise I won't ever ask for anything else.

Speed: It's your problem. I'm not going to rip apart the women's washroom just because Anni's stupid.

Carly: But you're...My favorite brother-in-law....

Speed: I'm your only brother-in-law.

Carly: Please Timmy? I won't ask for ANYTHING ever again.

Girl2: I know it's like she's some kind of animal.

Girl3: Her teeth can't actually be that perfect. I bet she stole them off of a zebra or something.

Girls: *laughs*

Girl2: And I bet her hair's from the zebra too.

Girl1: *slaps girl2* Zebras don't have blonde hair stupid. They have brown hair like all the other mammals.

Lori: *looks down at hair*

Girl3: I bet she cleans her clothes in the river.

Girl2: A dirty river.

Girl: With toads and leeches.

Girl3: And look at those green eyes. Uh who does she think she's trying to be? Carmen Electra?

Girl2: Carmen doesn't have green eyes.

Girl2: I still don't believe you.

Lori: I never did anything to them.

Ash: I wouldn't take it personally. One day they'll all grow up too.

Emma: Hey we're in the same class.

Lori: Wow.

Emma: I think Ash has History too.

Lori: Good for him.

Emma: Claire's been going after him for like three years. Between you and me, I think she only wants to be with him because he's popular.

Lori: I don't really like gossip.

Emma: Then what do you do on your spare time?

Lori: ...Homework.

Emma: That's boring.

Lori: Yeah. It's too bad it's kind of a requirement to being here.

Ash: Oh nothing bad I hope.

Emma: That's impossible.

Ash: How sweet of you Em.

Emma: Well I'm going to get out of y'alls hair and grab a seat at the back of the class. I hate it when the teacher spits. *leaves*

Ash: You look great today.

Lori: *smiles*

Ash: She smiles.

Lori: *closes locker* You're in my way.

Sorry To Say

Trace lab, next day

Delko: Hey.

Speed: Hey.

Delko: I have a question.

Speed: So ask it.

Delko: You know Sara Piper?

Speed: ...Your point?

Delko: I'm on her case. You know, her kid was abducted.

Speed: Well have fun with that.

Delko: I was wondering if you could run some trace for me.

Speed: Sorry Eric, I'm hands off.

Delko: I'm pretty sure you can remain professional in this.

Speed: And I'm pretty sure I just said I was hands off.

Delko: So who's supposed to run the trace?

Speed: You're a big boy. Do it yourself.

Delko: But you'll be watching me and then if I make a mistake, you'll either get angry at me or laugh at me.

Speed: Don't worry I won't laugh.

Delko: ...But you'll get angry at me?

Speed: That depends how much you screw up.

Delko: How about you just leave the room or something.

Speed: I can't. I'm supposed to be working in here.

Delko: Go work in Horatio's office. He's never in there.

Speed: I don't want to take his office.

Delko: He'll never know.

Speed: This is a crime lab. He'll know.

Delko: It's not like he'll print his office so that he can find out who moved the piece of paper sitting on his desk.

Speed: Yeah he would.

Delko: No he wouldn't. He doesn't do that stuff anymore.

Speed: Eric, just process the trace yourself and stop worrying about me.

Calleigh: *walks in* Tim, can you come here for a minute?

Speed: What's wrong with just telling me here?

Calleigh: It's about Teague.

Speed: Good for him.

Calleigh: *frowns*

Speed: *sigh* Fine. Eric, if you break anything I'll murder you.

Delko: Wow now my confidence is so much higher.

Halls

Calleigh: He got into a fight at school.

Speed: So? Punish him.

Calleigh: I have to go meet his teacher today about it.

Speed: It's not like he murdered anyone, he's nine.

Calleigh: Do you know what that other little boy said to him?

Speed: I'm not psychic, Cal.

Calleigh: The topic of the class today was what their dads did for a living. Teague said he didn't have one and so another little boy said he was a bastard.

Speed: That's rough.

Calleigh: Go talk to him.

Speed: Why?

Calleigh: Because he has a father.

Speed: Uh, he doesn't like me.

Calleigh: Fine. You go talk to the teacher because I'm not really in the mood to deal with them.

Speed: What am I supposed to say?

Calleigh: Think of something. *walks away*

Speed: *rolls eyes*

Ash: *runs up* HEY! Speedle I've been looking for you.

Lori: *turns around* Why?

Ash: I'm setting up some things in the gym for the dance, and I need your help with something.

Lori: I wouldn't know anything about dances.

Ash: It doesn't matter, I just need a female eye.

Lori: Why don't you just ask Claire?

Ash: Because I don't like her.

Lori: And you've known me for what...Three days?

Ash: Come on. *grabs Lori*

Lori: *sigh* Fine.

Gym

Ash: Okay.

Lori: *looks around* Well I see you have everything under control. I'll get out of your way.

Ash: *laughs* Wait, wait. I wanted to test a couple of the songs.

Lori: Why?

Ash: Well every dance has songs.

Lori: *frowns* I know that.

Ash: Yeah but the important part of the dance is the slow songs.

Lori: So?

Ash: So I need your opinion on them.

Lori: I don't know much about music.

Ash: Then bear with me.

Lori: *angry sigh*

Ash: *turns on music*

Lori: *lifts brow* What in the hell is that?

Ash: Music.

Lori: I don't think you want to use that song. It's too droopy.

Ash: *laughs* Alright. *stops music* Hey you want to see the new lights we just bought? Evan thinks they're a little weird but I think they're okay.

Lori: *rolls eyes* Fine.

Ash: *turns off lights, turns on dance lights*

Lori: ...Don't people get dizzy?

Ash: Nah. *turns on music*

Lori: ....Well this song is okay.

Ash: High praise coming from you.

Lori: Don't you have a class to be in?

Ash: I've got plenty of time.

Lori: *crosses arms*

Ash: You look so stiff.

Lori: Loud noises bother me.

Ash: Funny. *extends hand*

Lori: What are you doing?

Ash: We have to test out the dance floor.

Lori: Have fun.

Ash: *laughs* You're coming with me.

Lori: No I'm not.

Ash: Afraid you can't dance?

Lori: No I know I can't dance.

Ash: It's alright, no one's perfect.

Lori: Don't you have a million girls just lined up to dance with you?

Ash: It's not a million.

Lori: *frowns*

Ash: Come on, what are you afraid of?

Lori: Nothing.

Ash: I find that hard to believe.

Lori: You wouldn't be the first person who didn't believe me.

Ash: *grabs Lori's hand* Come on.

Lori: Ugh.

Dance floor

Ash: Why are you so far away?

Lori: I didn't know there was a distance rule.

Ash: *smiles* You're supposed to be closer. *pulls Lori*

Lori: I'm not blind.

Ash: No. You're beautiful.
