The case is Katie??? Oh wow! Talk about conflict of interest though. I wonder where she's gone off to? And how is everyone going to handle her disappearance? Hmmm interesting....very interesting.

Ah...Scott could be a bit more lenient on the kid, but I can understand, he's a single Dad, she's gotta mind. It's just so sad all the way round. I wish things were different for Lori. Maybe going through this would make her more accountable for herself.Yeah, she's been taking care of business, but barely. Maybe seeing what she is missing might get her ass in gear? Or drop and do a line of coke(I'm so wishing that its not that)....I think she can overcome this and they be happy again. Yes, I'm the eternal optimist, lol.

Great update! I'm stoked that Katie's the case!:))
 
Ok Well Scott is being a little bit of an ass! Nice to see Lori enjoying hervisit with Steph!

On th eflip side

Ok here is what pop in my mind! Why do I have this stupid feeling that Katie has disappeared just because he has some crazy notion that if shes kidnapped like Anni said she was that Speed will come and save her and be all in love with her again!

Oh my god I'm thinking like Katie now! AAAAHHHH!!!!

Well if I was here thats what i would be thinking! lol!
 
Good Lord... Poor Katie's in trouble. *hopes she ends up okay*

And aww at Steph's reunion with Lori... I hope there's more happy family moments for them... *stares*

Great update! :)
 
Thanks for the reviews, gals. :D Muchly appreciated. :adore:

Brooklyn, brownstone, 8pm

Steph: *runs down hallway, giggling*

Scott: Time to get your PJs on, Stephanie! *runs, slides across floor, scoops up Steph*

Steph: *giggling*

Scott: *smiling* Just where do you think you're going?

Lori: *smiling, leaning against wall*

Scott: It's time for bed.

Steph: *shakes head, smiling shyly* No Daddy.

Scott: Yes, Stephanie.

Steph: *points to Lori* Momma tuck in.

Scott: *looks at Lori*

Lori: Oh...I don't know.

Scott: She wants you.

Lori: ...*nods slowly* Okay. *walks into bedroom*

Bedroom, 8:15pm

Lori: *sits on bed*

Steph: *tugs on Lori's arm* Momma, closer.

Lori: Okay, okay. *shimmies closer*

Steph: *lies down on pillows*

Lori: *brushes hair from Steph's forehead*

Steph: *closes eyes*

Lori: *stares at Steph*

Steph: *opens one eye* Where ma kiss, Momma?

Lori: *smiles* One kiss, coming right up. *leans over, kisses Steph's cheek*

Steph: *wraps arms around Lori*

Lori: *blinks*

Steph: *hugs tighter*

Lori: *wraps arm around Steph* You sleep, okay?

Steph: *nods* Kay.

Lori: *sits up*

Steph: *grips teddy bear, closes eyes*

Lori: *smirks, turns out light* Goodnight. *stands, walks away*

Living room, couch

Lori: *walks over, sits* ...How can she be so forgiving?

Scott: *stares at Lori*

Lori: *leans against Scott*

Scott: *wraps arm around Lori*

Lori: *sigh*

Scott: This doesn't have to be so hard, Lori. I know you want to be a good mother and I know that you've been working very hard to become more responsible for yourself but you don't have to keep doing it alone. We function better as a family, not apart.

Lori: ...Is this you trying to get me to stay?

Scott: *smiles* Is it enough to keep you here?

Lori: *smirks, lies head on Scott's chest*

Scott: *runs hand along Lori's arm*

Lori: *lifts head*

Scott: *kisses Lori*

Lori: *closes eyes*

Steph: *peeks around corner* MOMMA!

Lori: *flinches*

Scott: *looks at Steph*

Steph: *runs over, jumps onto couch between Lori & Scott*

Lori: *looks down* Aren't you supposed to be sleeping?

Steph: *hugs Lori's arm* Nope.

Lori: *lifts brow*

Scott: *smirks* You've been told.

Lori: I see.

Steph: Nack time.

Scott: *laughs* No, it's bed time.

Steph: *grips Lori's arm, frowns at Scott*

Scott: How long are you in town?

Lori: Just a couple days. My uncle was going to put me up in a hotel.

Scott: I think Stephanie wants you to stay here tonight.

Lori: *nods slowly* Stephanie.

Steph: YA! MOMMA STAY!

Lori: I'll tell you what...I'll stay...if you get back to that room and you stay there and sleep.

Steph: *lowers head* ...Okay Momma.

Lori: Okay. *places hand on Steph's head*

Steph: *jumps off couch*

Lori: *stands, takes Steph's hand*

Steph/Lori walk away

Scott: *looks out window*

Rain starts to pour

Bedroom, 1am

Scott: *looks over at Lori*

Lori: *staring at Scott*

Scott: You're worse than Stephanie.

Lori: I had a friend in Colombia who was stabbed in the liver by a neighboring camp leader.

Scott: ...Good to know.

Lori: She once told me that people need each other. It's the contact that comforts us, the relationships that keep us together...without it, we're not whole. We're not human. I finally understand what she was talking about.

Scott: *stares at Lori*

Lori: *snuggles closer, places hand on Scott's chest*

Crying is heard

Scott: *bolts out of bed, runs*

Lori: *sits up* ...Jesus that man's fast.

Bedroom2

Scott: *runs in*

Steph: *crying, making grabby hands*

Scott: *sits on bed* What's wrong?

Steph: *crawls into Scott's lap, hugs him tight*

Lori: *walks in* What's going on?

Steph: MONTER!

Lori: *lifts brow*

Scott: *whispers* Monster.

Lori: *nods*

Scott: We have an old radiator and it creaks and snaps sometimes. Not to mention the storm.

Lori: *sits on bed* So um...what are we supposed to say? That the monsters are gone or that they don't exist?

Scott: I haven't gotten that far yet.

Lori: *looks at Scott*

Scott: *shrugs*

Steph: Daddy, kill the monters.

Scott: *nods* Would it be okay if Mommy helps?

Steph: *nods*

Scott: Okay, but you stay here. The bed is safe. No monster can get you here.

Steph: *wide-eyed* Safe?

Scott: Yep. Monsters are scared of beds.

Steph: GOOD. *covers self with blanket*

Lori: *smiles*

Scott: *stands, walks over to closet*

Lori: *walks over* Interesting tactic. Now she'll stay in bed.

Scott: *smiling* Thank you.

Bedroom

Lori: *crawls into bed*

Scott: So how does it feel to chase your first monster away?

Lori: *scoffs* Believe me, it's not my first. *lies down* Do you have work in a few hours?

Scott: No.

Lori: *lifts brow* It is a weekday, right?

Scott: I'm not going in today. Not while you're here. *leans forehead against Lori, kisses her cheek*

Lori: *touches Scott's face, closes eyes*

Kitchen, 7:30am

Steph: *dumps cereal into bowl*

Lori: Hey, watch it. You're gonna get Lucky Charms all over the kitchen. *picks up box*

Steph: *nibbles marshmellows*

Lori: *pours milk*

Scott: *staring at television, sipping coffee*

Lori: What's the weather look like today?

Scott: High 60s, no rain.

Lori: Finally. I'm sick of rain.

Steph: Momma, 'nuf milk.

Lori: *looks down* Oh, oops. *places milk on table*

Steph: *digs spoon into cereal, munches*

TBC..............................
 
Well i guess Step one is Complete on the getting Lori to comme back to Scott! Now if he can just talk her into moving to Brooklyn NY! But somehow i think that will be easier said than done! And what will Speed say! Somehow I just doesn't want Lori to move away to NY. Hmmm! Guess we'll see how this is Gonna go!

great update Geni!
 
This'll be interesting... I'm glad they're starting to pick up the pieces! :D They better stay that way... *waggles finger*

:lol:

Great update! :)
 
Oh how cool! The night together as a family I think, is finally getting to Lori. Maybe she could see it as Scott says it is- they function far better as a family than apart. He's so insightful and, he's making it easier and easier to see that he wants his wife back. It's so up to her now though...

excellent update!
 
Maybe one day the RT will go to DC and then maye I could make a guest appearence with either tony almeida or greg seaton =) me like.. haha great update geni
 
Thanks so much for the reviews. :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Brooklyn, neighborhood

Lori: *looks around* It's nice. There's even a playground in that park. And the grass is even green.

Scott: *smiles* We might be near the Concrete Jungle but people do live here. People with families.

Lori: I see. So all that gunfire I heard last night was supposed to be part of the 'family' atmosphere too?

Scott: Uh...this place is unique. It helps to have a certain...attitude when living here. You'd fit in great.

Lori: I'm sure.

Scott: *grabs Lori's hand*

Lori: *smirks, looks down at ground*

Scott: *smiling, looks back* Stephanie, hurry up.

Steph: *kneeling on ground, picking up branches*

Scott: Let's go, Steph.

Steph: *stands, runs over*

Scott: *picks up Steph* What're you doing?

Steph: Gettin' sticks.

Scott: Oh I don't think you want these sticks. Why don't we go to the park.

Steph: *nods*

Park

Steph: *running around*

Lori: *sits on bench* You bring her here a lot?

Scott: Yeah. She likes chasing the ducks.

Lori: Ducks.

Scott: They're her favourite.

Lori: *nods*

Scott: You okay?

Lori: Yeah. *looks down at lap* It's great to finally see you guys.

Scott: Lori...I'd like for you to move here to be with Steph and I.

Lori: *looks at Scott* ...I don't know, Scott. I don't know if because this is about Stephanie that I'm supposed to automatically drop everything to be with her. I mean...what's the appropriate response for a mother to have? Am I going to seem like a horrible person if I have doubts?

Scott: You don't have to decide right now.

Lori: Okay.

Scott: *looks over at Steph*

Steph: *giggling, chasing ducks*

Lori: *stares at Steph* ...I love her.

Scott: *looks at Lori*

Steph: *waddling around, following ducks* QUACK QUACK QUACK!

Lori: *smirks*

Scott: She sure is something.

Lori: *grabs Scott's hand*

Scott: *smiles*

Lori: *sigh*

Steph: *sits in grass, fiddles with rock*

Lori: *nods* Okay. I'll stay.

Scott: Awesome.

Lori: Excuse me. *stands, walks away*

Scott: *stares at Lori*

Middle of park

Lori: *sits* Hey.

Steph: Hi. *picks up rock*

Lori: Watcha doin'?

Steph: Pickin' rocks.

Lori: How come?

Steph: *holds up rock* Dis one's gween. *holds up second rock* Dis one's bwack.

Lori: *nods slowly* Uh huh.

Steph: They diffant, Momma.

Lori: Yes they are.

Steph: *gives rock to Lori*

Lori: *looks down at rock* So you know what green and black are.

Steph: *nods* Uh huh.

Lori: That's good. *picks up rock* What about this one?

Steph: *looks at rock* Bwown.

Lori: *smiles* Good job.

Steph: *smiles*

Lori: *points* And what's that animal?

Steph: *smiling* DUCK! *claps*

Lori: *looks at Scott*

Scott: *smiling*

Steph: *tugs Lori's sleeve* Momma, you gonna stay?

Lori: *looks down at Steph* Yep, I am.

Steph: *smiles, hugs Lori*

Lori: *wraps arm around Steph*

Scott: *walks over* We ready to go back?

Lori: Yep. *stands*

Steph: *jumps to feet*

Lori: I'll go back to Miami and tie up some loose ends and ship my stuff up. *scratches head* Although I'm not quite sure how to do that.

Scott: Don't worry about it, just pack it, I'll have it shipped.

Lori: *looks at Scott* ...Can you do everything?

Scott: I can't fly.

Steph: *points to Scott* UPERMAN!

Miami, Kendall, 2 days later

Lori: *running around house* TOM!

Tom: *walks over* Yeah?

Lori: Where's my laptop?

Tom: On the kitchen table.

Lori: *looks into kitchen* Oh.

Tom: Where the hell are you going in such a hurry?

Lori: New York.

Tom: I thought you just came back from New York.

Lori: I'm staying there.

Tom: Oh, for how long?

Lori: Forever.

Tom: *stares at Lori*

Lori: *walks over to table, grabs laptop* Scott invited me to stay and Stephanie's darling little smile sealed the deal. *turns around* Gosh, she's so cute. She knows her colours now and animals and she can even pour her own cereal. Isn't that amazing?

Tom: She's just a kid.

Lori: *smiles* But I made her. And she's actually learning and growing and she sees the world completely differently. There's no prejudice or malice, it's incredible to be around someone so innocent and care-free. *scoffs* Something good finally came out of me being alive. *places laptop into box*

Tom: So you're just...leaving. Just like that.

Lori: I still have to pack some stuff from my house, call a few people and quit my job. Things like that.

Tom: You're never coming back to Miami?

Lori: For the winter, sure. Scott and I were thinking about buying a getaway type place and I'll probably come visit my parents every couple of months.

Tom: Great. I've graduated to chopped liver.

Lori: *looks at Tom* ...Oh I'm sorry. I didn't mean th-

Tom: No it's fine. You have a great life ahead of you and you deserve it. I was just wondering if you actually planned on telling me you were taking off forever because you seemed to be in a bit of a hurry to get your crap out of here.

Lori: I didn't think you'd care all that much.

Tom: *laughs* Wow. The only friend I've ever had is about to move a thousand miles away, no biggie.

Lori: ...We can still talk on the phone every day.

Tom: That won't last very long and we both know it.

Lori: *steps over, hugs Tom*

Tom: *wraps arms around Lori*

Lori: You've been awesome to me and I'm glad you got clean. I hope someday to see those kids running out front and the barbeque with friends in the back.

Tom: I'll throw you an invitation.

Lori: *smiles, lets go* I'm holdin' you to that.

TBC........................
 
Aww, Tom!!! *hugs him*

...There's something I never thought I'd say.

But it's true. His only friend is leaving him... I feel bad. :(

Steph truly is amazingly adorable! :D

Great update! :)
 
YES! Finally, they get back together! But...poor Tom, he's losing his best friend. I do feel bad for him, I only hope that he doesnt turn to his old vices. He became such a great guy. Now for the celebration, cause Lori and Scott are back together again!

Break out the party hats!

Great update!
 
Hold the phone people She ain't got past Katie & Speed yet! And we know that Katies still missing! and she hasn't quit got everything packed! I somehow feel that Tom is ether tell her how he really feels and confuse her all together or maybe he'll start seeing Katie if shes ever found!

Hey! there you go geni! Tom & Katie they're a match made in Heaven! Now all you have to do is get Tom to swoop in on Speed and save her from being Kiddnaped! I think that would be kinda funny! I have a feeling Speed would be a little Jelous if Tom saved Katie right out from under his nose!

Great Update!
 
:devil:

Thanks so much for the reviews! *parties*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Miami, driveway, 2 days later

Lori: *places box into back*

Tom: *walks over, picks up box*

Lori: *looks at Tom*

Tom: *places box into back* You're having these shipped?

Lori: Yeah. They go before I do. *sits on edge of truck*

Tom: *sits* You nervous?

Lori: Do I look nervous?

Tom: A little.

Lori: *shrugs, swings feet* It's not going to be the same as Miami. I guess I'm...kind of attached to this place. But I can't wait to hang out with Stephanie and be a part of her life now that I've got my shit in gear.

Tom: It'll probably be great for you to see Scott every morning and every night.

Lori: Yeah. *looks down* The consistency is going to be great.

Tom: You don't seem entirely convinced.

Lori: Maybe I'm going to miss Miami more than I thought.

Tom: Think of it as furthering your sobriety. For a long time, Miami was the catalyst for your disease because the drugs were so easily accessible here. Not to mention you still have connections here with some shady characters. I don't know if New York is a better city to live in but you'll be in a completely different environment and out of your comfort zone. Sometimes a change of scenery can push you to let go of whatever was holding you down here.

Lori: *nods slowly* I never thought of it that way. Is that why you left Jersey?

Tom: I left Jersey because it was cold.

Lori: *smirks* ...It probably didn't turn out as well as you'd hoped.

Tom: Oh I don't know...I met you.

Lori: *looks at Tom*

Tom: *smiles*

Lori: *lowers head, smiles* Well as much as I appreciate that, I think there are far better things in Miami than me.

Tom: Not many.

Lori: *scratches head, looks over at lawn*

Katie: *runs over* LORI!

Lori: *lifts head, smile fades* Mom?

Katie: *crawls up driveway*

Lori: *jumps off truck, kneels* What the hell happened to you?

Katie: *grabs onto Lori* Taken.

Lori: *looks down at hand* You're bleeding. *looks down at ground* Did you run all the way here barefoot?

Katie: *hugging Lori*

Lori: *looks at Tom*

Tom: *pulls out cellphone*

House, living room

Katie: *drinking water*

Lori: What happened?

Katie: I...I don't know I was driving home and all of a sudden, I wake up in a box. Like a-a crate. I had a cloth in my mouth and duct tape over my mouth and I was beside this...body.

Lori: A body. What do you mean a body?

Katie: A dead person. It was disgusting. There were maggots and flies and beetles and ants everywhere. I freaked out, I started pounding on the lid but it must have been bolted down or something because it was heavy. I managed to untie my arms and take the tape off so I could drink the rain that fell from overhead into the breathing holes. Took some doing too. Thank God for a bad roof and lots of rain.

Lori: How long were you there?

Katie: What day is it?

Lori: It's the 15th.

Katie: ...15th of what.

Lori: May.

Katie: Um...I think I left work...the 8th of April.

Lori: *lifts brows* And nobody noticed?

Katie: You didn't.

Lori: *looks at Tom*

Tom: *sits on coffee table, clicks pen* I'd like to ask you some more questions.

Katie: Hey, aren't you that guy Lori slept with who almost ruined her relationship with Scott?

Tom: *lifts eyes* Uh...yeah. *looks down* What can you tell me about your surroundings there?

Katie: *looks at Lori* What are you doing at his house? And why are there boxes in your truck? WERE YOU LIVING HERE? DID YOU BREAK UP WITH SCOTT?

Lori: Let's focus on you for a minute, okay?

Katie: *nods*

Tom: How did you escape?

Katie: It was dark...almost pitch black. Something fell off the wall and hit the crate I was in and the latch broke so I pushed it, jumped out and ran. I-I hit the wall with my face but I scrambled for a doorknob or a light or something and found a window. I broke it with my hand and jumped. I fell about two storeys into an open garbage bin.

Tom: Okay. Do you know where you were being held?

Katie: I just ran, I didn't stop to look. I know there were lights and I could smell burning pavement and I could see the tops of trees but I was just thinking about getting out and running as fast as I could as far as I could. Everything was a blur.

Tom: *writing* How about while you were in the crate? Did you hear anyone speak? Did you notice any machinery, doors, things like that?

Katie: I heard...*blinks* yeah. I heard planes.

Tom: Planes.

Katie: Yeah. Real close, too. Like they were right there. And they weren't big planes like that the airport, they were small planes. Little engines. Piddly things that would putt putt around.

Lori: Like at a private airstrip.

Katie: YEAH.

Tom: I need a map.

Lori: *stands, walks away*

Tom: Did you ever see anyone?

Katie: No. It was like I was just...left there to die.

Tom: *nods*

Kitchen

Lori: *rolls out map*

Tom: We're in Kendall and she ran all night coming from the west.

Lori: *points* Kenadall-Tamiami Executive Airport.

Tom: *staring at map*

Lori: Doesn't Customs run out of that airport?

Tom: *nods* Yeah, not to mention the Miami-Dade Police Aerial Unit. You know what, I'll get this information to the crime lab. They've been investigating the case and they found a possible connection to the department.

Lori: *lifts brows* When were you going to tell me my mother was missing?

Tom: She's not missing anymore.

Lori: *frowns*

Tom: You should get her to the hospital. *walks away*

Lori: *grabs Tom's arm*

Tom: *stops, looks back* What?

Lori: You need to go with her.

Tom: Why?

Lori: Because she's evidence.

Tom: I'm not sitting in a car with your mother.

Lori: I don't like the idea of it either but guess what, you're the detective and she's the victim so get in the car.

Tom: *walks away*

Lori: *angry sigh*

Car, road

Katie: *taps on back of seat* You smell good.

Tom: *looks into rearview mirror*

Lori: *sinks into seat*

Katie: What kind of cologne is that?

Tom: Expensive.

Katie: Oh. Who bought it for you?

Tom: It was a birthday present.

Katie: From who?

Lori: *looks back* You want to be thrown into the trunk?

Katie: *stares at Lori*

10 minutes later

Katie: Wait, are you sure he was the heroin addict?

Lori: *frowns* Yes.

Katie: He's a very handsome young man. I can see why you jeopardized your relationship for him. He could make some very pretty babies.

Lori: Mother, shut. the. hell. up.

Katie: Well it's true. And hey, how come you always go for the cops? You married a cop, you slept with this guy and then you married Scott.

Lori: Scott's not a cop.

Katie: Pfft. Not officially.

Lori: *rolls eyes*

Katie: Nah, Scott's more like a firefighter. But you get the idea.

Lori: *looks back* You were kidnapped, got out of a box full of decomp, fell into a garbage bin, ran halfway across town and you're interrogating me about my taste in men?

Katie: It's not my fault you have a thing for the badge.

Tom: *smiles* I take back what I said, I kind of like your mother.

Lori: *slaps Tom* Don't indulge her.

Katie: Oooh he has a pretty smile. Mm you could spread him on toast, I tell ya.

Lori: *leans on door, covers forehead*

Katie: Hey y'all aren't like...in love, are you?

Lori: Would you stop it please? We're just friends. *looks out window* RED LIGHT!

Tom: *slams on breaks*

Lori: *grabs dashboard, looks at Tom*

Tom: *glances at Lori, looks back at steering wheel*

Lori: *staring at Tom*

Katie: WOW we almost got clipped by a garbage truck. You should be a little quicker on the breaks there, Tommy boy.

I really do like Tom...Seriously, I do. I mean, at first he was this foul, a$$ **** and I really didn't care two shakes to a sh**t about him. But...as Lori began to work on him, and show more care to him, and inturn he showed he cared about himself, the bastard grew on me. So, I'm pretty heartbroken that his heart has to be broken. He did a total 360 and it was all because of Lori's friend ship ( that was skewerd slightly, but what can you do?). He seems to have his head on tightly now, and I think he'll do fine...

Katie's...well, Katie's Katie...lol. No matter if she's been gone for God knows how long, she still manages to keep her focus on the important things of life. Not how hurt she is, or disoriented...but no... How Tom would make pretty babies. THis is what this woman is thinking upon being rescued!! But you gotta love her, she's crazy, she's insane...she's...Katie. I wouldn't take her any differently.:)
