Looks as if Cassie's making a great impression on Miami thus far. I hope the road she's on forks away from ruin, because it seems as if Tom really cares. In a case like this, Kris is right...You can only help those who wants to be helped. Cassie, I'm afraid isn't quite there yet. I hope she doesn't ruin his wedding...


By the way...lol I'm waiting for that like...so patiently!

Awesome update!
 
Oh poor Tom ! Now he knows how Lori felt trying to get him of the stuff! I just hope he can live though all of this and be strong for her! Maybe they should be like that show the Cleaner and open there own rehab lol! Steal people off the street and get them clean! lol!

Great update Geni!
 
Thanks so much for the reviews! :)

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

Church, rectory, 9am

Tom: *staring in mirror*

Scott: It fits fine.

Tom: *tilts head* I'm no Bruce Wayne but I can't complain.

Scott: *smiles*

Tom: Tell me something, Scotty...was this all a little too fast? I mean, I've had longer relationships with hookers.

Scott: If you love her and you know you want this to be a forever thing, I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Tom: What about you and Lori? Were you nervous about marrying her?

Scott: I knew I was going to marry her the second I met her. But that's me.

Tom: Anni's family haven't even met me yet. What are they going to think when they find out she left an older man for a younger one?

Scott: Age has nothing to do with it.

Tom: They might not feel the same way.

Scott: As long as you're happy, the other stuff is just static.

Tom: *nods*

Scott: Just don't say Lori's name at the altar.

Tom: *frowns*

Scott: I'm kidding.

Tom: You're not very funny.

Scott: Fair enough.

Church attic

Anni: I don't look old, do I?

Katie: Not in that dress.

Anni: *smiles*

Katie: You sure you picked the right guy?

Anni: *smile fades* What do you mean?

Katie: I don't know...maybe you don't know him as well as you think.

Anni: What's to know? I've spent every waking moment with him since we met, I've worked with him...I know who and what he is.

Katie: I'm just saying. He was bad news for as long as I can remember.

Anni: Why do you always have to try and ruin my relationships?

Katie: ...I'm not trying to ruin anything. I'm trying to make you see another side to this.

Anni: So I can go through my whole wedding day paranoid?

Katie: *shrugs* He's probably a nice boy.

Anni: *frowns* Man.

Katie: Whatever.

Rectory, 20 minutes later

Lori: *peeks in, smiles* Hey there, cowboy.

Tom: I'm from Jersey.

Lori: *steps in* You're looking sharp. You must have had help.

Tom: *turns around*

Lori: *straightens out Tom's collar* Except this part.

Tom: What if I can't do this, Lori?

Lori: Everyone gets like this, it's normal.

Tom: Maybe we should have waited.

Lori: Stop second-guessing yourself. You asked her, she said yes. I'm pretty sure there was an agreement between the both of you at that point.

Tom: *nods*

Lori: And I know Scott took you through the whole cold feet speech but I just want to say, I don't think you could have picked a better woman and she couldn't have picked a better man.

Tom: I'm sure your father appreciates that.

Lori: My father might be a good work partner but he's not the greatest life partner.

Tom: *stares at Lori*

Lori: *smiles* Everything will be fine.

Tom: ...Cassie's in the bathroom, can you check on her?

Lori: ...Okay. Sure.

Tom: Thank you.

Lori: *nods*

Bathroom

Cassie: *sitting in stall, loading syringe*

Lori: *steps over, knocks on door*

Cassie: *lifts head* Occupied.

Lori: Cassie...it's Lori. Tom's friend. I just wanted to ma-

Cassie: I'm fine. You can leave now, please.

Lori: *kneels* Could you open the door?

Cassie: No.

Lori: I'm not leaving until I see you with my own eyes.

Cassie: You can hear me.

Lori: Sorry, not good enough.

2 minutes later, door swings open

Lori: *looks at Cassie*

Cassie: *tightens tourniquet with teeth*

Lori: The devil's dandruff.

Cassie: *lifts eyes*

Lori: My kryptonite.

Cassie: ...You don't look like a meth head.

Lori: *sits, leans against stall* Did Tom get that for you?

Cassie: *stares at Lori*

Lori: *nods* ...You know, Tom and I are pretty close.

Cassie: Tom doesn't get close with just anyone.

Lori: No. He doesn't.

Cassie: He must trust you.

Lori: Maybe.

Cassie: *looks down at needle* When we were kids, we used to play Cops and Robbers. Tom was always the cop.

Lori: *smirks*

Cassie: It's all he ever talked about. How he was gonna wear a badge someday.

Lori: What about you? What did you want to do?

Cassie: I wanted to be a doctor. But that's not going to happen now.

Lori: Why not?

Cassie: Look at me. I don't take care of myself, how am I supposed to take care of other people?

Lori: There's still time.

Cassie: No, there isn't. I want everyone to stop trying to help me.

Lori: We're just talking.

Cassie: You're trying to get through to me. It won't work. Please leave me alone.

Lori: *stares at Cassie*

Outside church

Speed: *stares up at church*

Katie: *walks over* Ready to go inside?

Speed: This is going to be weird.

Katie: Nah. *looks at Speed* Oh you mean for you. Yeah, definitely weird.

Speed: *frowns*

Katie: Think of this as showing Anni you're okay with her moving on and being happy. So try to look a little less grumpy.

Speed: I'm not promising anything.

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

TBC..........................
 
Boy, there sure is a lot of people trying to talk to the intended couple, LOL. At least Scott was positive. They are doing to right thing, especially if they love each other, which they do! Just get them down the aisle already! LOL

Cassie needs help, plain and simple. I love how Lori's there but not meddling. She has her own ways of getting through to people. I think she's going to get through to Cassie. It's just me...but I think it's going to happen.

LOL Speed and Katie at Anni's wedding... I cannot wait to read this...LOL

Awesome work!
 
Thanks so much for the reviews :D Hee! *dances*

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

Church, bench, 11am

Katie: *leans over* Doesn't Anni look so pretty in that dress?

Speed: I thought you were her Maid of Honor.

Katie: She kicked me off the wedding team. Apparently I 'overshadow' her or something.

Speed: *nods*

Katie: Doesn't Tom look dashing? He really does clean up well for a tweaker.

Speed: Do you have to talk everywhere?

Katie: Yes.

Speed: Of course.

Katie: *tilts head* You think I'll ever wear a dress like that again?

Speed: *looks at Katie*

Katie: *looks at Speed*

Speed: No.

Katie: *frowns* Why the hell not?

Speed: Black's not really your color.

Katie: *frowning*

Speed: *looks ahead*

Katie: *elbows Speed*

Speed: SON-OF-A-BITCH!

Everyone: *looks at Speed*

Speed: *stares blankly* ...Uh...sorry. Carry on.

Altar

Tom: *looks back at Anni*

Anni: *sigh*

Back of church

Speed: Don't do that.

Katie: Don't scream.

Speed: That hurt.

Katie: You're such a baby.

Speed: Do me a favor. Don't touch me.

Katie: *pokes Speed*

Speed: Stop it.

Katie: *pokes Speed*

Speed: Stop it.

Katie: *pokes Speed*

Speed: Stop it, Katie.

Katie: *pokes Speed*

Speed: GOD DAMNIT, KNOCK IT OFF!

Everyone: *looks at Speed*

Speed: *blinks*

Tom: Hey Speedle! I don't know if you've noticed, but we're kind of busy up here with something.

Speed: Sorry, it won't happen again.

Tom: *looks back at priest*

Anni: *covers eyes*

Back of church

Speed: *staring ahead*

Katie: *smiles* You want to hit me, don't you.

Speed: I want to do a lot of things to you.

Katie: ...*smile fades*

Speed: *blinks* Painful things.

Katie: *stares at Speed*

Speed: Things you won't enjoy, Katie.

Katie: *smiles*

Speed: *frowns* It's the pain meds.

Katie: Sure it is.

Speed: *angry sigh*

Katie: *smiling*

Speed: Don't.

Katie: I haven't said a word.

Speed: You don't stop saying words.

Katie: You know you love it.

Speed: I would love for you to stop talking and pay attention to what's going on up there. No wonder Anni kicked you out of the wedding.

Katie: *takes Speed's hand*

Speed: *looks at Katie*

Katie: *stares ahead*

Speed: *staring at Katie*

Katie: *smirks* I thought you wanted to see all the exciting happenings up there.

Speed: *looks at altar*

Reception, church hall

Scott: *sits* So, did you enjoy the wedding as much as Tim did?

Lori: *smiles*

Speed: Not funny.

Scott: Aw come on, I'm just pulling your chain.

Speed: Pull my chain again. I dare you.

Scott: Someone needs a little more vicodin.

Katie: Hey Lori, where'd you dump Steph and the baby?

Lori: They're with uncle Josh. He sends his regards, by the way.

Katie: I want cake. SOMEONE CUT THE CAKE.

Speed: I hope we're not giving her any alcohol.

Scott: She probably already drank half a bottle.

Katie: Who did what now? OH OH did you see the size of Anni's rock? Holy Toledo I'm pretty sure Tom couldn't afford that on his salary.

Lori: Maybe he saved up.

Katie: Yeah right. The only one I know rich enough to afford that ridiculous piece of geology is Scotty.

Lori: *looks at Scott*

Scott: *clears throat* It was a loan.

Lori: On top of what we're already giving them.

Katie: Wait, what are you giving them? An island? The Empire State Building? CHAKA KHAN!

Speed: *rubs temples* I'm doing this for Anni, I'm doing this for Anni...

Lori: Aww look how happy they are up there.

Scott: Tom with a smile on his face, that's one for the photo album.

Lori: *pokes Scott* I want a real wedding.

Scott: You don't like weddings.

Lori: I know but look how pretty she is and look how happy he is.

Katie: Watch out Scotty, you're next.

Scott: ...I'm already married.

Katie: TO WHOM! CHEATER!

Scott: To Lori.

Katie: Oh yeah. Whodathunkit.

Lori: ...Dad? Are you okay?

Speed: *staring at table*

Lori: ...Dad.

Speed: *lifts eyes* What.

Lori: You seemed a bit...spacey.

Katie: It's the pills. He pops 'em like they're going out of style.

Lori: *nods slowly*

Speed: You would too if you flew off the causeway.

Katie: Poor dear. *hugs Speed*

Lori: I hope you feel better soon.

Speed: Thanks.

Katie: I could make you feel better.

Speed: *frowns*

Katie: Just sayin'...

Lori: So Dad, now that you're officially a free man, what do you plan on doing during your bachelorhood? Besides Mom, of course.

Speed: Lori...

Lori: *smiles*

Scott: I think we've had our fun, let's leave the poor guy alone.

TBC...........................
 
Poor Speed... that's all I'm going to say about him...LOL Katie's back up to her old shenanigans. I guess all it took was for Speed to become a free man again to get her out of the clouds. It's good she's back, her wackiness(although often) is a good thing. You can just see the love between Speed and her...

And finally through all that, Tom and Anni are married... LOL How awesome is that...

Now bring in the drama!

Excellent update!
 
Lol! Speed Blaspheming in the middle of the wedding in the middle of the church! Lol! That was so Speed! I thought i was gonna crack up when Katie asked if they were giving them Chaka Kahn ! OMG I can't breath! lol! Chaka Kahn! Lol!

Omg! And Lori wanting to know what Speed would be doing since he was single besides Katie ! lol! Air OMG I need air! and some tissue! Lol! I can't breath now! You sure do know how to throw a wedding! lol!

Awesome update Geni!
 
:D Thanks for the reviews!

Hehe. :devil:

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

Condo, 11pm

Speed: *opens door, limps in*

Katie: *shuts door* That was some reception. I didn't know Scott could sing.

Speed: Alcohol tends to do that.

Katie: *takes Speed's arm*

Speed: *sits on couch*

Katie: *sits*

Speed: Go home, Katie.

Katie: You need me.

Speed: I don't need you.

Katie: Yes you do.

Speed: I'm going to bed. *stands, grabs onto couch*

Katie: *wraps arm around Speed*

Speed: Stop.

Katie: I just want to help.

Speed: *walks away*

Katie: *lowers eyes*

Upstairs, bedroom

Speed: *unbuttons shirt*

Katie: *walks in*

Speed: You're supposed to be getting in your car.

Katie: ...Maybe I don't want to. Maybe...sometimes I feel the loneliness of an empty home too.

Speed: *eyes Katie, lowers shirt* Ugh. *winces*

Katie: *steps closer, takes shirt*

Speed: How long do you plan on staying?

Katie: Depends on you, I guess. If you don't want me here, th-

Speed: No. I don't mind you spending some time here. I just thought you'd want to live your life instead of making sure I get tucked in at night.

Katie: *shrugs* I want to help. Y'know, since I haven't really been a saint to you these past few years. It's why I want this truce of ours to really work.

Speed: *sits* Katie...I've done ten times the damage to our relationship and to you as a human being than you could ever do to me. I don't deserve you at my side in any capacity.

Katie: *stares at Speed*

Speed: It makes me almost...sick now thinking about how horrible I was to you. And you stayed for a long time when you should have left me in the dust sooner.

Katie: I loved you.

Speed: How? How?

Katie: Maybe I was being stupid.

Speed: *closes eyes* I wish I'd never...been everything I hated.

Katie: *sits* You weren't the man I married. I don't know what happened to you. And I'm not really sure which of those two men you are now.

Speed: *shakes head* Men like me don't change. We get worse until we kill someone.

Katie: *stares at Speed* ...Why did you run your bike off the causeway?

Speed: *opens eyes*

Katie: ...

Speed: *looks down at floor*

Katie: ...You were trying to kill yourself.

Speed: *staring at floor*

Katie: *shakes head* I refuse to believe you'd ever escalate that far.

Speed: Face it, Katie. I'm just like every other sleeze bag out there.

Katie: No you're not. You haven't so much as swatted a fly in years. That doesn't exactly fit the typical pattern.

Speed: Then what the hell was wrong with me back then?

Katie: *sigh* ...I don't know...it didn't really start until Riley was kidnapped.

Speed: *looks at Katie*

Katie: And it got worse when Lori was taken to Colombia.

Speed: It got worse because I got worse, Katie. Stop trying to make it seem like it was someone else's fault.

Katie: I'm not faulting anyone else, it's just interesting to me that this started materializing once our children were taken from us. I mean, you were supposed to be a police officer. It was your job to protect innocent people from victimization and yet-

Speed: A lot of cops lose children. It doesn't turn them all into violent thugs.

Katie: What if you just snapped?

Speed: It doesn't matter, it won't undo what I've done.

Katie: No. But dropping yourself off a bridge won't fix it either.

Speed: *lowers head*

Katie: Anyway, maybe you'd rather be alone. *stands*

Speed: *grabs Katie's hand*

Katie: *looks at Speed*

Speed: *lifts head* Stay.

Katie: *stares at Speed*

Speed: Please.

Katie: ...Okay. I'll be on the couch downstairs if you need anything. *turns around, steps forward*

Speed: *gripping Katie's hand*

Katie: *looks back* ...Alright, I'll roll out a sleeping bag on the floor up here.

Speed: *smirks*

Katie: ...Sleeping bag on the bed?

Speed: *lies down on bed, turns out light*

Katie: *blinks* ...Um...right. *crawls onto bed, lies down*

Speed: *closes eyes*

Katie: *stares at Speed*

TBC.............................
 
And we get to the root of everything! It's great that they are talking this out, and in the long run, they'll be better for it, and better for each other. I can really see that these two are going to reconnect, and it's going to be great!

Awesome work!
 
Aww... poor Speed. *hugs him tightly, but not so tight to cause pain*

I love that Katie kept getting him to interrupt the wedding... so classic! And the reception where everyone was making fun of him was just way too funny... :lol:

I hope that Speed (and Cassie) accepts some help. Both of them sure need it.

Great updates! :D
 
Thanks so much for the reviews! :)

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

Miami mansion, 9am, 3 months later

Speed: *walks over* Hey. I got your message.

Horatio: *takes off shades* How are you feeling?

Speed: Surprised. I thought I was still on suspension.

Horatio: Well as it turns out, a prominent Miami judge appears to have been murdered so I need all hands on deck.

Speed: *nods* High profile, huh.

Horatio: Mhm. Eric and Anni are in the study. I'll be speaking to witnesses.

Study

Speed: *walks over*

Delko: Alexx hasn't gotten here yet but there's 2 gunshot wounds to the back of the head and what looks like bullet holes in the window.

Speed: So the shots came from outside.

Delko: Yeah.

Anni: *snaps photo* My guess? Sniper. Shots are at a downward trajectory.

Speed: *opens kit, grabs gloves* Any high buildings nearby?

Anni: Just houses. *lowers camera* I suppose someone could have fired from the roof of a house but we'll need to check it out.

Delko: I did a little reading on our judge here. Turns out he moved to Miami from New York about 6 years ago. He was going to retire here next year.

Anni: Any enemies?

Delko: *scoffs* How about everyone he put away. This guy took all the corruption cases, anywhere from cops to other judges.

Anni: That's got to be an easy list to find.

Speed: I'm going to go take a look outside. *walks away*

Anni: I'll help. *walks away*

Delko: *shakes head*

Outside window

Speed: *looks around* Check it out. *points* Footprints in the rosebed.

Anni: *smiles* Someone was spying on our judge friend.

Speed: Get the routine down, get a better shot at him.

Anni: Prints don't seem very recent either.

Speed: Now if we can figure out where the shots came from.

Anni: *looks up at window* They're 11 feet up and relatively far apart. Maybe the shooter wasn't a professional.

Horatio: Or maybe he was moving.

Anni/Speed: *look at Horatio*

Horatio: Neighbors say they heard a helicopter outside just after 5am.

Speed: Helicopter.

Horatio: *staring at window*

Anni: Not impossible. Creative.

Speed: Well if they were in Miami airspace, aviation should have a record of their flight path, right?

Horatio: Let's find out.

Layout room

Speed: *buttons up labcoat*

Anni: *walks over* Hey, you get anything from the footprints at the mansion?

Speed: I was just about to run them.

Anni: *leans over table* Interesting pattern.

Speed: Hopefully interesting enough for NITIN. *pulls laptop over*

Anni: *stares at laptop*

Speed: Is it alright if I come over tonight to see Brook?

Anni: *smiles* Of course.

Speed: *nods*

Anni: I think she really liked the amusement park last time.

Speed: Yeah, she couldn't get over the giant purple elephant ride.

Anni: *smiling*

Laptop beeps

Speed: *clicks mouse*

Anni: A hit?

Speed: *nods* Weathergrip 2000 Female Sole.

Anni: Size 8. Okay so our mystery spy is a woman, that certainly narrows things down. It's too bad we don't have any DNA.

Speed: Hopefully the aviation records will get us a name.

Anni: You heading down there now?

Speed: *takes off labcoat* Katie's in A/V, they sent the information over. I'll see you later.

Anni: *nods*

Speed: *leaves*

A/V Lab

Speed: *sits* Miss White.

Katie: *typing* Got your aviation records for this morning. There was an unauthorized flight through Coral Gables. They were unresponsive to base warnings.

Speed: Where'd they go after Coral Gables?

Katie: Everglades.

Speed: There's an airstrip there. Did aviation send anyone down there?

Katie: Wasn't a priority.

Speed: *looks at Katie*

Katie: I'm just telling you what it's telling me.

Speed: So they could be long gone on another flight.

Katie: If they are, there should be a record of it. *types*

Speed: *looks at screen*

Katie: *smiles* A-HA!

Speed: What are we looking at?

Katie: Okay, a private aircraft took off from the airstrip at 0:600, destination LaGuardia.

Speed: Our dead judge is from New York.

Katie: I guess you're going on a road trip.

Speed: ...I'm not going anywhere.

Katie: Why not?

Speed: I don't exactly have the funds to track a murderer across America. I just got off an unpaid suspension, remember?

Katie: So let Horatio and Anni take care of it.

Speed: *nods*

Katie: You busy tonight?

Speed: I'm going to visit Brook. Why?

Katie: *shrugs* I'm not doing anything tonight is all.

Speed: *nods slowly*

Katie: Do you want me to come with you tonight to see her?

Speed: Um...okay.

Katie: If you don't want me to, I-

Speed: No it's fine. I probably won't be there for more than an hour anyway.

Katie: *nods*

Speed: *stares at screen*

Katie: *takes Speed's hand*

Speed: *squeezes Katie's hand*

Katie: *smirks*

Horatio: *steps in* Where are we-

Speed: *lets go*

Horatio: -on the helicopter?

Katie: They skipped town.

Horatio: Okay. Speed, I want you and Eric on victimology. Find anything that could even be remotely considered motive.

Speed: Sure, H. *stands, walks away*

Horatio: Good work, Katie.

TBC.................................
 
slowly but surely, they are going to get it together. It's going to be great...they're going to love each other the right way, and they are going to be happy! You can't ask for anything better than that!
