Hee. Thanks so much for the reviews, y'all!
:lol:
:devil:
...Those responses probably didn't help much, did they. :lol:
Thanks again for the reviews!

San Antonio, hospital, 10am
Speed: *looks into room* How is he?
Doctor: Frustrated that the nurses keep waking him up every 20 minutes, but otherwise...physically he should be fine in a few weeks.
Speed: He's part of an ongoing investigation in Miami, would you mind if I took a few photographs of his injuries?
Doctor: We tried last night, he wasn't comfortable with it so we had to stop. I'm not sure if he'll be much more cooperative this morning.
Speed: May I speak with him?
Doctor: If you want to try...be my guest.
Speed: *walks into room*
Doctor: *checks beeper, walks away*
Inside room
Speed: *grabs chair, sits* Scott.
Scott: *eyes closed* ...Do you people ever stop.
Speed: It's Tim. Not 'you people'.
Scott: *opens eyes*
Speed: How are you feeling?
Scott: Annoyed.
Speed: I understand you're tired but we need to talk. Erin might be dead but those guys that were working for her are still out there and we need to find them. If you have any descriptions, names, vehicle tags...anything, it would be helpful.
Scott: No.
Speed: You don't know anything about them after being with them for 2 months.
Scott: *staring ahead*
Speed: I'll need to photograph your injuries.
Scott: ...
Speed: *lifts camera* It won't take very long, I promise.
Motel room, 12pm
Speed: *walks in, shuts door*
Katie: Hey, how'd it go?
Speed: Well I wouldn't say he was cooperative but that's normal considering what happened to him.
Katie: And what exactly happened to him?
Speed: *grabs chair, sits* I'm not at liberty to say.
Katie: *lifts brow*
Speed: We can take him home in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, let's start looking for the rest of the people who got away.
Katie: *nods* Sounds good.
Miami, few weeks later, outside PD
Lori: *crossing arms*
Hummer pulls up
Lori: *looks at Hummer*
Speed: *gets out of Hummer*
Scott: *steps out of Hummer, shuts door*
Lori: *looks at Scott*
Scott: *walks over*
Lori: *stares at Scott*
Scott: *smiles*
Lori: *hugs Scott*
Scott: *wraps arms around Lori, closes eyes*
Lori: *sigh* I love you.
Scott: *grips Lori tighter*
Lori: *looks over at Hummer*
Speed: *leaning on Hummer*
Lori: *nods*
Speed: *smirks*
Lab, hallway, 2 hours later
Katie: *runs over* So? Did they go home together?
Speed: *walking, grabs folder* Yep.
Katie: I'm sooo glad I recommended he shave and get a haircut first. He looked like a yeti hobo.
Speed: Yeah and you told him that about 50 times. *looks down at folder*
Katie: Well she needed to see those big beautiful blues of his. And well, the rest of his face. He didn't really speak much on the drive back, you think there's something wrong?
Speed: Wow, a rational human being not wanting to talk to you? Call the FBI.
Katie: *slaps Speed* I'm a joy to talk to.
Speed: Some of the time.
Anni: *walks around corner*
Speed: *stops*
Anni: *looks at Speed* You're back.
Speed: Yeah I tried to call you, it wouldn't go through.
Anni: I changed my phone number.
Speed: Why?
Anni: Because you need to stop calling me. We don't have a problem, I don't want to work it out.
Speed: *takes Anni's elbow, steps aside* We don't have a problem?
Anni: No.
Speed: You won't talk to me and that's not a problem.
Anni: Why are you making something out of nothing?
Speed: It's not nothing. I'm worried about you.
Anni: You know, this caring thing really doesn't suit you.
Speed: Excuse me?
Anni: Why don't you just go back to your test tubes and swabs.
Speed: A couple weeks ago you were angry that I wasn't supportive enough and now that I'm being supportive, you're angry with me because I'm...caring too much.
Anni: If I want to talk, I'll call you.
Speed: You won't be home tonight?
Anni: *scoffs, shakes head*
Speed: What?
Anni: I'm staying with Calleigh. She has an extra room at her place. *walks away*
Speed: *looks down at floor, sighs*
Locker room, 4pm
Speed: *opens locker, places gun inside*
Katie: *walks over* Hey.
Speed: Guess you heard the conversation.
Katie: Yeah. I'm sorry.
Speed: You wanted me to work things out and I tried...I can't help her, I can't fix whatever's wrong if she won't let me.
Katie: Maybe you can't fix it.
Speed: *leans on locker*
Katie: It's not your fault.
Speed: It's not her fault either.
Katie: Look, it's not like she's not in control of herself. She consciously decided to blow you off. You're giving her way too much leeway here. Since when did you become the guy who lets people walk all over him?
Speed: *crosses arms*
Katie: *shakes head, walks away*
Speed: *frowns*
Condo, 5pm
Katie: *knocks on door*
Anni: *opens door*
Katie: We need to talk.
Anni: What about?
Katie: Can I come in?
Anni: No.
Katie: I thought you were going to Calleigh's tonight, I called her and she said you hadn't showed up yet.
Anni: I'm still packing.
Katie: And that's why I'm not allowed in? Is there a big mess or something?
Anni: Yeah.
Katie: Well I'm okay with messes. *pushes door*
Anni: *leans on door*
Katie: What's going on with you?
Anni: I just need some space to contemplate things. It's a lot to take in...again.
Katie: So you're hurting your husband in the process.
Anni: He's fine, he'll handle it.
Katie: He's not handling it. He's falling apart.
Anni: You know, I thought I needed him but I don't. I want to work this out on my own.
Katie: *nods*
Anni: He's just...not someone I need to be a part of my life right now.
Katie: Well I'm sure he'll be happy to hear that. *walks away*
Anni: *sigh*
Condo, 9pm
Katie: *leans back on couch*
Speed: She actually said that.
Katie: Yep.
Speed: What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Katie: I don't know.
Speed: Well...thanks for trying to help.
Katie: *shrugs* You know me, I'll try anything. *sits forward, picks up remote* So, what's on TV?
Speed: *leans over, takes remote*
Katie: *looks at Speed*
Speed: Why are you doing this?
Katie: You're my friend.
Speed: No.
Katie: You're not my friend?
Speed: That's not what I'm talking about.
Katie: What, you think I'm trying to take advantage of the situation?
Speed: Are you?
Katie: No. No, I'm just trying to be helpful and supportive. You said we were never going to be a 'thing' again and I'm with you on that. I care about you, okay? I'm not going to hide that but I'm not here to get in your pants.
Speed: *nods* Fair enough.
Katie: *grabs remote back, turns on television*
Speed: *stares at Katie*
Katie: *looks down at remote, presses buttons* Oh shit. *looks down at watch* I was supposed to be at Lori's place, I needed to pick up Steph, they're heading to Manhattan for a couple of days to take care of Scott's frozen accounts.
Speed: How did you forget that?
Katie: I forget everything. *stands, trips over table*
Speed: *stands, grabs Katie's arm*
Katie: Thanks. Anyway, I'll talk to you later. *runs*
