    Thanks for the lovely reviews. :)

    LOL. Carly. *huggles Carly* :D

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

    Condo, 2 days later

    Lori: *walks in*

    Speed: *shuts door*

    Scott: *looks over*

    Steph: MOMMA! *runs over, hugs Lori's leg*

    Lori: *kneels*

    Steph: *smiles* Hi Momma.

    Lori: *brushes hair from Steph's face* Hi baby. You get your breakfast?

    Steph: *nods* Gampa made me um...OATMEAL! *smiles*

    Lori: *half smirk* That's good. Why don't you go play in the other room for a while.

    Steph: *runs into living room, jumps onto couch*

    Lori: *stands*

    Speed: You hungry?

    Lori: A little.

    Scott: *walks over* I can make you s-

    Lori: *steps behind Speed*

    Scott: *stares at Lori*

    Lori: *looks down at floor*

    Scott: *steps back* I can make you some pancakes or something.

    Lori: Sure.

    Scott: *looks at Speed*

    Speed: Lori, we can take care of things here, how about you go hang out with Steph.

    Lori: *nods, walks away*

    Speed: *walks over to sink*

    Scott: *looks into living room* I feel like I'm back to square one with her.

    Speed: *nods* Just give it some time. I'm sure she'll come around, she's a strong woman.

    Scott: *shakes head* I wish I hadn't lost my temper with her.

    Speed: *looks at Scott* What happened?

    Scott: Lori was going to go down to the warehouse. That's when I stopped her and called you guys to take care of it. I yelled at her.

    Speed: What did she do?

    Scott: Cried.

    Speed: *lifts brow* You made Lori cry.

    Scott: ...Well not on purpose.

    Speed: She must have done something serious to piss you off.

    Scott: Nothing should be serious enough. I was wrong to lose my temper.

    Speed: Did you hurt her?

    Scott: *stares at Speed*

    Speed: *looks at Scott*

    Scott: With all due respect, I'm not you.

    Speed: *nods*

    Scott: *grabs bowl*

    Speed: And while she was at the warehouse, you were...where?

    Scott: You're blaming me? I'm not her father.

    Speed: What's that supposed to mean?

    Scott: It's not exactly my responsibility to make sure she's home by midnight.

    Speed: *frowns* Well she stopped being my responsibility the second she became an adult. She's your problem.

    Scott: So she's a problem now. You do realize she isn't 5, right? Oh but that's right, she was 5 at one point and you fucked that up!

    Speed: You're her husband! You two are a partnership so you should be looking out for her, just like she should be looking out for you! What the hell were you doing while 4 guys were shoving her into the back of some truck somewhere!

    Scott: AT LEAST I WENT LOOKING FOR HER!

    Lori: HEY!

    Speed/Scott: *look at Lori*

    Lori: Just...stop. Please.

    Scott: *walks away*

    Lori: *looks back*

    Speed: *walks over* I'll make you breakfast.

    Lori: I'm...not really that hungry anymore.

    Speed: You sure?

    Lori: I just want to go home and put this behind me. *walks away*

    Speed: *nods*

    Upstairs, bathroom

    Lori: *knocks on door, opens it*

    Scott: *leaning over sink*

    Lori: *steps in, shuts door* You okay?

    Scott: You're asking me that?

    Lori: When you're not okay, I'm not okay.

    Scott: *lowers head* I'm fine.

    Lori: *steps over*

    Scott: *looks at Lori*

    Lori: *kisses Scott's cheek*

    Scott: *blinks*

    Lori: ...Thank you for coming after me.

    Scott: I'd do it a thousand times over.

    Lori: *hugs Scott*

    Scott: *lifts brow*

    Lori: *burries head in Scott's chest*

    Scott: *places hand on Lori's back*

    Lori: *sighs*

    Scott: *looks around* Uh, Lori...*steps back*

    Lori: *looks at Scott*

    Scott: Maybe it would be best if w-

    Lori: I don't want to be held back from you. I don't want to fear you or any other man. I'm not going to let myself crawl into a hole because that would satisfy the very people who make it their life's mission to take that control away.

    Scott: *nods slowly*

    Lori: Yeah, I have some anxieties. But I've come too far and worked too hard to let those pricks win.

    Scott: *stares at Lori*

    Lori: This is going to be the one time I don't fail myself.

    Scott: That's...a great way to look at it.

    Lori: *walks over to door*

    Scott: *looks at Lori*

    Lori: *looks back, smirks*

    Scott: *lifts brows*

    Lori: *leaves*

    Scott: ...*scratches head*

    *hugs Lori* Poor thing.

    *smacks Scott and Speed* Fighting about who should've looked after her and stuff isn't going to make anything better! So knock it off! :p

    Great update! :D

    Ok boys the Pissin contest is now over! go to you mutual corners! I guess that Speed will now try to man up and be all nice to Lori since all this has happened! He changes his mind about her like changing underwear! What the fuck Scott shes your damn wife so what if you made her cry she was steppin out on you, she should cry if you get mad shes the one that did it not you.

    Great update Geni!

    Aww, YES! Lori's rather strong willed, even though she's gone through the worst possible, she's looking forward. Of course, this could be just the cover- I'm sure there are issues...pretty much positive about that, I just hope that she can weather them. With the support of her family, I'm sure she can.

    I loved the arguement that Speed and Scott had, they sounded almost like father and son...But I have to say, Speed has the point here...ALthough Scott hit kinda low at times... Ah....family, gotta love 'em right?

    Awesome update...needless to say, more...lol

    Thanks so much for the reviews, everyone! They're very appreciated. :D

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

    Miami Everglades Campground, 3pm, 4 days later

    Josh: *walking* Look around, kids! This is the Miami you need to get out and see more often! *smiles* Isn't it beautiful?

    Ethan: *walking, staring down at video games*

    Cait: Hey, how come he was allowed to bring a video game?

    Josh: He duct taped it to his hands. Look look! A parrot!

    Cait: You know, we could see those for free at the pet store. Near air conditioning.

    Josh: Aren't these cypress trees beautiful?

    Cait: *stops* Daddy, my feet hurt and I smell like Ethan's bedroom. Are we done yet?

    Josh: *turns around* Cait, you need some exercise. The open air is good for you.

    Cait: We've been here 4 days. I hate it. I'm finished camping, I'm finished observing the wildlife, I'm finished sharing a bathroom with a thousand other tourists and I'm finished watching you try to prove you're a decent father. When we get back to the real world, I'm going to live with Mom. *walks away*

    Josh: *stares down path*

    Ethan: *lifts head, looks around* Did an alligator get her?

    Josh: Why don't we head back to the camp.

    Camp, 5pm

    Cait: *leaning against log, scribbling in notebook*

    Josh: *places wood into fire*

    Ethan: *playing video games*

    Cait: *looks over at shoulder*

    Gigantic stick bug crawls down Cait's shoulder

    Cait: *screams*

    Josh: *lifts head*

    Cait: *runs into tent, zips it* I HATE IT HERE!

    Josh: *looks back at tent*

    Ethan: *rolls eyes*

    Josh: *sits on log* Some camping trip this turned out to be, huh.

    Ethan: *shrugs*

    Josh: What are you playing?

    Ethan: Games.

    Josh: *nods slowly* Sounds like fun.

    Ethan: Uh huh.

    Josh: How's school?

    Ethan: Boring.

    Josh: You seem to be doing well, I saw your last report card. All As.

    Ethan: Uh huh.

    Josh: I'm really proud of that, you know.

    Ethan: Uh huh.

    Josh: Have you thought about what you want to be when you grow up?

    Ethan: Cop.

    Josh: *lifts brows* A police officer. *smiles* What made you decide that?

    Ethan: Uncle Tim's pretty cool.

    Josh: *smile fades* ...Uncle Tim, huh.

    Ethan: *nods*

    Josh: You know, your old man's a cop. *smiles* I bet you find that pretty cool too.

    Ethan: Not really.

    Josh: *sigh*

    Ethan: *pressing buttons*

    Josh: ...Do you um...do you know what Cait does while I'm not home?

    Ethan: Yeah.

    Josh: What does she do?

    Ethan: She hangs out behind the school with her boy toy.

    Josh: *nods* What do they do behind the school?

    Ethan: Drugs, sex, you name it. She thinks she's being 'wild' and 'independant'.

    Josh: And this is with that guy with all those piercings.

    Ethan: *shakes head* She's got a new one. This one's older.

    Josh: *frowns* How much older.

    Ethan: I don't know, he's like 20 or something.

    Cait: *runs out of tent* I CAN HEAR YOU! *attacks Ethan* YOU LITTLE BRAT! *punching Ethan*

    Ethan: GET OFF, SLUT!

    Cait: I'M NOT A SLUT!

    Ethan: THAT'S NOT WHAT EVERYONE AT YOUR SCHOOL SAYS!

    Cait: ERGH! *punching Ethan*

    Josh: HEY! HEY! *grabs Cait*

    Cait: *swinging*

    Josh: SIT YOUR ASS DOWN!

    Cait: *looks at Josh*

    Josh: NOW!

    Cait: *sits on log*

    Josh: *grabs game from Ethan* I don't want to see any more fighting. You're both going to act like human beings.

    Ethan: Technically, humans were bred for fighting, it's in our genes, and th-

    Josh: *frowning*

    Ethan: Apparently it's not the time.

    Cait: *rolls eyes* You're such a dork.

    Ethan: Shut up. At least I'm not ruining my brain cells with dope.

    Josh: Ethan, get in the tent and don't say another word.

    Ethan: Like, forever?

    Josh: You want your video games to spend the night in the fire?

    Ethan: *frowns, gets into tent*

    Josh: *zips up tent*

    Cait: *crosses arms*

    Josh: *sits* I'm very disappointed in what I just heard.

    Cait: He's lying.

    Josh: He's not lying.

    Cait: *rolls eyes*

    Josh: You want to end up like Lori? You want to lose all your teeth, you want to watch your own body eat itself because you can't put food into it? You want to end up pregnant with some stranger's baby? How about living in a crack house with 30 other strung out people, does that seem like something you want to shoot for? Or how about the morgue.

    Cait: *frowning* NO. Okay?

    Josh: Really? Because it seems to me like that's exactly where you want to put yourself. And I have to tell you, I'm not really looking forward to scraping my rotting daughter off the side of the road somewhere!

    Cait: STOP IT!

    Josh: You still think it's cool?

    Cait: *starts to cry, shakes head*

    Josh: *places hand on Cait's head*

    Cait: *leans over, hugs Josh*

    Josh: *wraps arm around Cait*

    Cait: *crying* I'm sorry, Daddy.

    Josh: *sigh*

    Manhattan, Empire State Building, 79th floor office, 9am

    Scott: *turns up radio*

    Bob: *walks in*

    Scott: *sings* She's my cherry pie, cool drink of water such a sweet surprise, tastes so good make a grown man cry, sweet cherry pie. Oh yeah, she's my cherry pie, put a smile on your face ten miles wide, looks so good bring a tear to your eye, sweet cherry pie.

    Bob: No Bon Jovi this week?

    Scott: *looks at Bob, smiles* What can I do for you?

    Bob: Kim wants you to attend a meeting downstairs with a bunch of the tenants. Apparently there's some remodeling going on and they'll be moving people around. APL's been named in the changearound.

    Scott: *nods* Where's Kim going to be?

    Bob: A flight to Beijing. Lucky her, huh?

    Scott: More like lucky me.

    Bob: *laughs* Still trying to keep her hands off of you?

    Scott: She needs to get a boyfriend, preferrably one that isn't named Scott Finch.

    Bob: I've been trying as hard as I can, man but apparently her assistant is at the bottom of the male food chain.

    Scott: You don't want someone like her, Bob. You need to find a nice girl.

    Bob: Nice girls aren't hot. *smiles* And I know you know what I'm talking about. I've seen your wife.

    Scott: *smirks* Watch it.

    Bob: *hands over briefcase* Better get downstairs.

    Scott: *grabs briefcase* Thanks.

    Elevator

    Scott: *presses button*

    Woman: Hold the elevator please!

    Scott: Oh. *grabs elevator*

    Woman: *smiles* Thanks. Whew, busy place. This is the first elevator I've found all day that hasn't been filled to capacity.

    Scott: *smiles* Going up or down?

    Woman: Down. 60th.

    Scott: Oh, are you heading to the tenant meeting?

    Woman: As a matter of fact, I am. I'm with the Terwilliger Firm. *extends hand* Amy Walker.

    Scott: *grabs Amy's hand* Scott Finch. I'm with APL Manhattan.

    Amy: *stares at Scott*

    Scott: *turns to door, stares at it*

    Amy: *tilts head, squints*

    Scott: *looks over at Amy*

    Amy: *staring at Scott*

    Scott: *smiles* Hi.

    Amy: Hi.

    Scott: *looks back at door*

    Amy: *narrows eyes*

    Scott: *straightens out tie, looks down at watch*

    Amy: I'm sorry, this must seem like a strange question but did you ever work in Lower Manhattan?

    Scott: *looks at Amy*

    Amy: *stares at Scott*

    Scott: *takes off glasses*

    Amy: *lowers head* I-I'm sorry, I don't mean to pry or anything, s-

    Scott: No. It's okay. Yes, I did.

    Amy: *lifts eyes*

    Scott: Wait, you were the...*lifts brows* you were the girl in that elevator. Right? It's you.

    Amy: *smirks* And you were the guy who helped me out of that elevator.

    Scott: *laughs* Wow, I'm so sorry. I uh, I didn't recognize you.

    Amy: *smiles* You look a little different yourself.

    Scott: *smiling* How are you?

    Amy: I'm great! Just started working here a couple weeks ago and everyone's been real nice. I've been lucky to end up with such a wonderful group of people. Gosh, I didn't know you worked here, that sure is something, isn't it? What are the odds?

    Scott: I know, it's insane. I never expected to see you again, I'm glad to hear you're doing well.

    Elevator doors open

    Amy: Shall we?

    Scott: *smiles*

    Miami, Kendall, house

    Lori: *walks in*

    Tom: *looks over* Most people knock.

    Lori: We need to talk about what happened.

    Tom: *puts down newspaper* Do I get a hint as to which event you're talking about?

    Lori: You killed Connor.

    Tom: And the world is a better place.

    Lori: Why did you kill him?

    Tom: Self defense.

    Lori: Bullshit. He was on the ground, unarmed.

    Tom: Unfortunately, you're not considered the best witness seeing as you were whacked out on heroin.

    Lori: You murdered him in cold blood.

    Tom: Justice served as far as I'm concerned.

    Lori: What does the department think about that?

    Tom: I was cleared.

    Lori: So you people are just going to pick and choose who deserves a trial and who deserves to die at your hands?

    Tom: *stands* Are you upset because I killed someone or because I killed someone for you?

    Lori: *stares at Tom*

    Tom: *stares at Lori*

    Lori: You shouldn't have done that.

    Tom: He shouldn't have hurt you.

    Lori: *lowers head* ...I'm not worth killing over, Tom. *walks over to kitchen, opens fridge*

    Tom: *looks at Lori*

    Lori: *grabs water, opens it* You should have just arrested the guy.

    Tom: Why, so he could get out and hurt you again? So he could order his cronies to kill me? You're not the only one who's life was at stake. I got two birds with one stone, case closed.

    Lori: *sigh*

    Tom: *steps over* Scott...was going to do it but I stopped him.

    Lori: *lifts head*

    Tom: I couldn't let him cross that line.

    Lori: *staring at Tom*

    Tom: So you want to be mad at me, go ahead.

    Lori: *places water onto counter, hugs Tom*

    Tom: *closes eyes*

    Lori: ...You wouldn't happen to have any heroin lying around, would you?

    Tom: *opens eyes, looks down*

    Lori: *looks at Tom*

    Tom: No.

    Lori: *lowers head*

    Tom: Are you going to be okay?

    Lori: *scratches head* Um...I don't know.

    Tom: You spent a few days in the hospital, it's not like you need it.

    Lori: *looks over at counter*

    Tom: What's up with you?

    Lori: I don't...feel right.

    Tom: You want me to take you back to the hospital? They can check y-

    Lori: No. That's not what I mean. I just...*shrugs* I don't know, I...*looks at Tom*

    Tom: ...Lori?

    Lori: *grabs Tom by the hair, kisses him*

    Tom: *lifts brows, turns head away* What the hell are you doing?

    Lori: *pushes Tom against counter*

    Tom: *clears throat* I have to be at work in like, 30, if y-

    Lori: Stop talking.

    Tom: *stares at Lori*

    Lori: *smiles*

    And here is where the inappropriatness begins. Poor Lori...she's going to have a rough time about it, that's for sure. Scott's not around to support her, so...off she goes with Tom. *sighs* Such potential, cut down. I hope she finds a way to deal, cause the way she's going is a road to ruin.

    Josh finally got to Cait...very good! Sometimes it takes hard love to get thorugh to someone. Let's hope Cait gets her act together.

    And Scotty meets a girl from his past. Do I sense a deep connection here? Hmmm, very interesting predicament! Can't wait to see where it goes!

    Awesome update!

    NO! LORI, DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!

    No good can come from that. Seriously.

    I'm very intrigued by Miss Amy... Can't wait to see what happens...

    And somehow, I don't think Josh is quite out of the woods with Cait (no pun intended).

    Great update! :D

    Thanks so much for the reviews. :)

    :devil:

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

    Empire State Building, boardroom, 12pm

    John: Now, the remodel's going to take place over a period of about 8 weeks so make sure you've set yourselves up for the long haul. We don't want to see people writing up reports in the hallways now, right?

    Amy: *lifts hand* You said something earlier about some companies having to share their space. Which ones exactly will be merging so we can coordinate the move?

    John: That's a good question. *picks up paper*

    Scott: *staring down at folder*

    [FLASH]

    Scott: *shuts cab door, looks down at watch*

    Watch reads '7:45am'

    Scott: *looks up at buildings*

    Sun shines brightly above

    Scott: *straightens out tie, walks forward*

    [FLASH FORWARD]

    Scott: *clicks pen, writes*

    John: And then of course APL's crew needs to shag ass to the 58th floor along with Terwilliger.

    Bob: *runs in, sits*

    John: And you are?

    Bob: Oh, I'm with Scotty here. *slaps Scott on the back*

    Scott: *looks at Bob*

    John: You're with APL?

    Bob: Yeah. So where are we moving to?

    Amy: *smiles* Looks like you guys are bunking with us.

    Bob: *looks at Amy* Wait, *looks at John* you're sticking us with a law firm?

    John: I'm sure you can get along.

    Bob: I hate lawyers. They remind me of my ex-wife.

    Amy: Don't worry, we won't bite.

    Bob: You're sharks. That's your nature.

    Scott: *picks up coffee, looks down*

    [FLASH]

    Scott: *steps off elevator, looks around*

    Woman: *smiles* Excuse me? Sir?

    Scott: *looks at Woman*

    Woman: Are you here to see Mr. Valdez?

    Scott: *looks Woman up and down* ...Yeah.

    Woman: *grabs paper from desk* You're the intern, right? Scott Finch?

    Scott: *laughs* I'm not an intern. I'm a Data Analyst. It's people like you whose job it is to pour the coffee around here, sweetheart. So why don't you get me a cup while I wait. I take mine black.

    Woman: *stares at Scott*

    Scott: *waves hand* It's great exercise, you'll love it.

    Woman: *frowns, walks away*

    Scott: *leans on reception desk, looks around* I feel overdressed.

    [FLASH FORWARD]

    Scott: *staring down at coffee cup*

    Bob: Scotty...Scott. *slaps Scott's arm* Hey, you with us?

    Scott: *lifts head* What?

    Bob: Help me out here. Who should get first dibs on the offices? The sharks or us?

    Scott: I'm not picky on office space, I'm sure both sides will have a fair opportunity.

    Bob: APL should get first pick. We're bigger and richer.

    Amy: Not sure it works that way.

    Scott: *leans back in chair*

    [FLASH]

    Office area

    Valdez: Finance is to your right and marketing is to your left.

    Scott: Great. So where's my office?

    Valdez: *laughs* Your station will be right here. *points to cubicle*

    Scott: *looks at cubicle*

    Valdez: We've set you up with your own computer, right out of the box.

    Scott: Uh...no. I'm going to need my own office.

    Valdez: Son, you're an intern. Interns don't get offices.

    Scott: *laughs* You actually expect me to work those people? In the same room?

    People look over

    Valdez: What exactly do you have a problem with? What's wrong with this space?

    Scott: Well I'm not really in their league, sir.

    Valdez: *stares at Scott*

    Scott: I mean...look how they're dressed. *leans forward, whispers* I don't think welfare is where you should be scouting for employees.

    Valdez: You're not getting an office. You're starting out at the bottom like everyone else.

    Scott: *lifts finger* I bet you would love to meet my father, Judge Finch. And I think he would be very interested to hear that his son is expected to work along side these...*looks at Girl* mindless drones here. *smiles* I don't believe we've met, I'm Scott. *extends hand*

    Girl: *lifts brow*

    Valdez: Your Daddy can call me all he wants. In the meantime, why don't you head on downstairs to HR and have them implement your information into the system.

    Scott: Don't you people handle stuff like that?

    Valdez: *hands over folder* You're here early, I'm sure you'd love to get busy.

    Scott: *looks down at folder* Well I do have an exemplary work ethic afterall. *grabs folder*

    Valdez: I can't wait to see it.

    Scott: *walks away*

    [FLASH FORWARD]

    Scott: *closes folder*

    Bob: *stands* You know, Kim's going to be pissed that you didn't plant a flag in our new accomodations.

    Scott: *pulls out cellphone*

    Amy: *walks past*

    Scott: Miss Walker.

    Amy: *looks back*

    Scott: You're free to join us for lunch if you'd like.

    Amy: *smiles* Uh...you know what, I think I'll have to take a rain check. My daughter's home sick and I promised I'd stop by when I had a couple hours. I'm real sorry.

    Scott: Oh no, that's perfectly fine. Maybe next time.

    Amy: Absolutely. *looks at Bob* It was nice meeting you.

    Bob: Likewise.

    Amy: *glances at Scott, leaves*

    Bob: She didn't like meeting you, or what?

    Scott: I'll be downstairs after I get this information back to the office.

    Bob: Sure.

    Scott: *walks away*

    You go girl take that man! She wants it and he knows it and if he can keep her straigh then go for it! Maybe they need eachother in a differant sorta way! To keep eachother clean!

    I don't think Mr. Finch is to damn worried! Hes busy having eye sex with the chick in the elevater! I can see things getting heated on that end also!

    Maybe they both need a little strange every now and then to leep things on an even keel!

    Great update Geni!

    Scott's a little a$$. Simply put, he's his mother's son for real. UGH...SO glad that he came out of that little attitude that I'm going to label :thumbsis up assiss. :D How come I feel like it's going to get worst before it gets better?

    PS I love the continuation of the Amy line...so very interested bc she's making Scott flash back..lol

    Excellent update!

    Hmmm... while it's nice to see that Scott wasn't always a sweetheart, I still wanna smack the s*** out of him. :D

    I like flashback sequences, though. They're awesome. :D

    Great update! :D

    Steph: *giggling*

    Speed: *walks over*

    Anni: *lifts head* Hey, home so soon?

    Speed: Wasn't Lori supposed to pick her up a few hours ago?

    Anni: She never showed.

    Speed: *frowns*

    Anni: I wouldn't worry about it. Hey, come over here and help us color.

    Speed: *sits on couch*

    Anni: *hands over crayon box*

    Steph: *grabs yellow crayon, scribbles*

    Anni: What are you drawing?

    Steph: Momma and Daddy. *grabs red crayon*

    Speed: *looks over at paper*

    Anni: *points to page* Is that Mommy?

    Steph: *nods*

    Anni: How come she looks so sad?

    Steph: *wipes nose on sleeve, scribbles*

    Anni: *looks at Speed*

    Speed: *stares at Anni*

    Anni: *looks down at paper* And that's Daddy?

    Steph: Yup.

    Anni: *smiles* Wow, he looks real big and strong.

    Steph: He's Superman.

    Speed: *smirks*

    Anni: Oh wow so he's a super hero. That's why he has the cape?

    Steph: *nods*

    Anni: And that's you in the middle.

    Steph: Yup.

    Anni: That's a real pretty dress.

    Steph: *smiles*

    Anni: *digs through crayon box*

    Steph: *smile fades, looks at Anni* When's Momma comin' back?

    Anni: *looks at Steph*

    Speed: Hey Stephanie...if you come over to the kitchen with me, I have a surprise for you.

    Steph: *lifts head, wide-eyed*

    Speed: Come on. *grabs Steph's hand*

    Steph: *jumps off couch*

    Kitchen

    Speed: *picks up Steph, opens cupboard*

    Steph: *staring into cupboard*

    Anni: *peeks over into kitchen*

    Speed: *pulls out giant cookie*

    Steph: *gasp* COOKIE! *smiles*

    Speed: *smirks* That's right. And it's just for you. You know why?

    Steph: *shakes head*

    Speed: Because you've been such a good girl this week. *hands over cookie*

    Steph: *smiling, grabs cookie* Thankies!

    Speed: *smiles*

    Kitchen

    Anni: *walks over* What is it?

    Speed: Okay, even on Lori's worst days, she was never 5 hours late.

    Anni: She's just been through hell, her husband's out of town and her little girl needs so much attention. I don't think it would be too much of a stretch to say maybe she's resting and time got away from her. Besides, I don't mind looking out for Steph a few extra hours. *smirks* And you didn't seem to mind too much a few minutes ago either.

    Speed: You were spying on me?

    Anni: *smiles*

    Speed: *angry sigh* ...She's cute, I'll give her that.

    Anni: *steps closer* It's adorable to see your big concrete heart melt like butter.

    Steph: *wraps arms around Lori's neck*

    Lori: *looks at Speed* Was she good?

    Speed: Nothing short of angelic.

    Lori: *nods*

    Steph: MOMMA come see my picture!

    Lori: *smiles* Okay! Show me! *puts Steph on floor*

    Steph: *grabs Lori's hand, runs*

    Lori: *runs*

    Speed: *narrows eyes*

    Living room

    Lori: *sits, picks up picture* You made this? No way!

    Anni: Understandable.

    Lori: *places tomatoes into bowl, grabs lettuce*

    Manhattan, Empire State Building, 58th floor, 9am next day

    Scott: *grabs files from box*

    Bob: *walks in* I don't see why they have to remodel. Why can't everything stay the way it is?

    Scott: Things change, Robert. You'll have to get used to it.

    Bob: I have to share a cubicle. What's this world coming to?

    Scott: I understand that you might find it uncomfortable but you're not the only one having to make compromises.

    Amy: *steps over* Yeah, because looks like Finch and I have to share this here office.

    Scott: *looks at Amy*

    Amy: *smiles*

    Bob: You could fit 10 managers in here. Not much of a compromise.

    Scott: Kimberly and Miss Walker's boss will be in this office as well.

    Bob: Wouldn't it have made more sense to stick us with another investment company?

    Scott: You have some unpacking to do. I suggest you get to it, please.

    Bob: *nods, walks over to door* Anything else?

    Scott: If our employees need anything, just let me know.

    Debris is seen falling

    Scott: *closes eyes, takes off tie*

    Amy: HELP!

    Scott: *looks at wall*

    Amy: HELP! SOMEBODY!

    Scott: H-Hello? *walks over to elevator door, places hand on it* ...Hey! Is someone behind there?

    Amy: Yeah! Are you a firefighter?

    Scott: Uh...no. They're not up yet. A-At least I haven't seen any. What's your name?

    Amy: Amy Walker. I work upstairs. Can you tell me what's going on? I called my boyfriend and he said something about a plane but we got cut off. I can't reach him.

    Scott: *leans forehead on elevator door*

    Amy: ...Hey! Hey come on, are you still there?

    Scott: Yeah, I'm still here.

    Amy: What's your name?

    Scott: *leans arm on door, wipes forehead* Scott. *rubs eyes* Scott Finch.

    Amy: You work here?

    Scott: *scoffs* It's my first day, actually.

    Amy: I don't mean to sound rude but I take it it's not going very well.

    Scott: You can say that again.

    Elevator shakes

    Amy: *screams*

    Scott: What is it! What!

    Amy: You have to get me out of here! Please!

    Scott: *nods* Just chill out for a minute, I'll go get someone.

    Amy: Hurry!

    [FLASH FORWARD]

    Scott: *staring at Amy*

    Amy: *lifts box*

    Box wobles

    Amy: Ack!

    Box tips

    Scott: *runs over, grabs box*

    Amy: *looks at Scott*

    Scott: *smiles* I must have dropped about 5 of these on the way down. Not exactly the most sturdy of cardboards, I have to admit.

    Amy: *smirks* Thanks.

    Scott: Where did you need this?

    Amy: Just over in that corner if you wouldn't mind.

    Scott: Not at all. *walks over corner of room*

    Amy: I hope we're not taking up too much space.

    Scott: *shakes head* The CEO's usually out on meetings and flights and I don't need much space to work. You can use up as much as you'd like.

    Amy: *smiles* My boss will love to hear that. You know how some people are, they like to spread out.

    Scott: *smiles*

    Amy: I appreciate the help.

    Scott: It's my pleasure.

    [FLASH]

    Banging on door is heard

    Scott: *runs over*

    Amy: HEY! WHERE ARE YOU!

    Scott: I'm here, I'm here!

    Amy: Did you find anyone?

    Scott: No. I...I don't think I'm going to find anyone. Look, maybe you should just sit tight and wait.

    Amy: Wait! Where are you going?

    Scott: Down. We're supposed to evacuate. You'll be fine, I'm sure they'll be looking for people on their way up. *walks away*

    Amy: You're just going to leave me here?

    Scott: I can't help you.

    Amy: No no no come ON! *bangs on door* You have to try! I-I think these breaks are bent or something, I don't think I'll be able to wait!

    Elevator creaks

    Amy: DON'T LEAVE ME!

    Scott: *stares at doors* ...I'm sorry. I need to go. *runs*

    [FLASH FORWARD]

    Scott: *stops at desk, picks up exacto knife*

    Amy: How long have you been married?

    Scott: *looks over*

    Amy: *waves hand* Sorry, I'm prying again.

    Scott: *smiles* No, it's alright. *kneels, opens box* Going on a couple years now. We have one daughter together.

    Amy: That's really great. I remember you saying how you always wanted kids.

    Scott: *pulls out folders, nods*

    Amy: What's her name?

    Scott: Stephanie.

    Amy: That's a pretty name.

    Scott: *smiles*

    Amy: *opens drawer*

    Scott: She's been a great joy in my life...*lowers head* I only hate that I have to be away from her so much. *picks up stapler*

    Amy: I feel the same way when I have to leave my Sammy to go on teaching conferences. The look on her face when I say she has to stay with Grandma...

    Scott: It's rough.

    Amy: Yeah. But it feels great to come home and see her little face as she sleeps. Life always seems so complete when you watch them dream. *nods* Like everything's okay. I feel lucky to have that.

    Scott: *smirks*

    [FLASH]

    Scott: *staring down stairwell, running*

    Building creaks

    Scott: *stops, looks up* ...*looks down over stairs* ...Damnit. *runs back upstairs*

    Hallway

    Scott: *runs over to door* Amy! *bangs on door* Amy are you still there!

    Amy: Yes! Oh thank God!

    Scott: When you open your door, what do you see?

    Amy: A brick wall. I-I mean there's a little space but nothing I can fit through.

    Scott: I'll be right back. Hang out for a second.

    Amy: That's very funny!

    Scott: *runs*

    5 minutes later

    Scott: *leans axe against wall* Amy, I need you to step back.

    Amy: Why? What are you doing?

    Scott: Coming in to get you. *grabs doors, pulls* UGH! Are you above the floor or below it?

    Amy: Below it.

    Doors separate

    Scott: *pushes doors, looks down*

    Amy: I can see your shoes!

    Scott: Great, I need you to cover your head. I'm going to try and bust the top of the elevator in.

    Amy: Okay.

    Scott: *swings axe*

    Metal sparks

    Scott: *beating at air duct with axe*

    Amy: Is it breaking!

    Amy: *screams*

    Axe drops down shaft

    Scott: *closes eyes*

    Amy: Scott!

    Scott: *sigh* ...Okay...hopefully I didn't need that axe anymore.

    Amy: Where's the axe? Scott?

    Scott: *punches at air vent* Watch out! *punches vent*

    Air vent falls through into elevator car

    Scott: *steps onto elevator car, looks through vent*

    Amy: *looks up, smiles*

    Scott: Not bad, huh?

    Amy: Not bad at all.

    Scott: *climbs further onto car, reaches arms inside* Grab my arms.

    Amy: Are you sure you can pull me up?

    Scott: We're about to find out.

    Amy: *grabs Scott's arms*

    Scott: *pulls, leans back*

    Elevator car tips slightly

    Scott: UGH! *grabs onto the back of Amy's shoulder*

    Amy: *grabs Scott's knee*

    Breaks twist

    Scott: *reaches under Amy's arm* Come on, just a little further.

    Amy: *slices arm over piece of metal* AH!

    Scott: *pulls Amy up*

    Amy: *grips Scott's arm, climbs onto elevator car*

    Scott: *gets to feet, lifts Amy*

    Amy: *wraps arm around Scott's waist*

    Elevator car shakes

    Amy: *closes eyes* No no no no.

    Scott: *reaches for wall*

    Amy: *steps forward*

    Scott: Keep going.

    Amy: *grabs onto wall*

    Scott: *jumps down onto floor, turns around*

    Amy: *looks over edge*

    Scott: *reaches up* Hurry up.

    Amy: *reaches down*

    Scott: *grabs Amy's hand*

    Breaks snap; elevator car slides downward

    Amy: *screams*

    Scott: *snatches Amy's arm, pulls back*

    Amy: *lands on Scott*

    Scott: *staring up at ceiling*

    Amy: *gripping Scott's shirt*

    Scott: ...You okay?

    Amy: ...No. Are you?

    Scott: Not in the least bit.

    Amy: *looks down at Scott*

    Scott: *looks at Amy*

    Amy: *laughs*

    Scott: *smiles nervously*

    Amy: *laughing* I'm not dead! We did it! *grabs Scott's face* We actually did it!

    Scott: Yes we did.

    Amy: *sighs, rolls over onto floor*

    Scott: ...Want to get the hell out of here now?

    Amy: You read my mind.

    Sings * It's all coming back to me now...* Looks like Scott's got the flashies again. I wonder why he keeps adverting his eyes when Amy looks his way? Does he feel as if he's staring? I'd like to see them talking a bit more:D

    Lori gives herself away. She's waay too cheerful ( sorry, I couldn't help but quote him here). Speed already suspects something's up. He's probablly not that far off, lol.

    Love, however, how both Anni and Speed were hanging out with Steph. Good practice...

    *sigh* I'm going to miss this for a couple of days... :( Don't don anything drastic while I'm gone:)

    Excellent update!

    Whew! boy that Scott gets into some hair raising situations! I'm glad they made it out, but i'm wondering if this was the one that got away! I don't know how Scotts gonna stand her being in the office with him all the time. I somehow don't think hes gonna be able to keep his hands to himself! HMMM! Very interesting!

    Now we all know why Lori was late don't we! She was asleep alright when Speed called ! The oprative word here is who with! Duh! Her and Tom was bumpin uglys over at Tom's place last night! Maybe Speed should run on over there and see if he can investigate! maybe collect some of that biological evedence they seem to be passin back and forth to eachother! EEWWW! ts another case of Don't go Naked on nothin in Tom's house! Cause you never know where they did it ! Lol!

    Great pdate Geni!
