Why thank you kindly.
Couldn't Care, Don't Have To Listen
Trace Lab, 2 hours later
Calleigh: *walks in* Lori's in the lounge.
Delko: *walks in*
Speed: Good.
Calleigh: Eric told me what happened.
Delko: *nods*
Speed: Nothing happened.
Delko: You were smoking.
Speed: Wow sue me.
Calleigh: Are you alright?
Speed: *stands* I'm fine.
Calleigh: You don't seem fine.
Speed: *walks over* I have had just about enough of people craming their feelings and their concern down my throat. Why can't you people just leave me alone?
Delko: We want to help.
Speed: With what?
Delko: Whatever's going on with you.
Speed: You don't get it. Nothing's going on.
Calleigh: Do you want to talk about it?
Speed: NO!
People look up from work stations
Calleigh: Okay, just...Calm down.
Speed: I'm tired of people telling me to calm down.
Jess, Carly, Carole, Anni, Missy and JC stop in the hallway
Delko: Why don't you just go home.
Speed: Yeah? Where's that? The apartment with rotting blood all over it? Oh it's such a hallmark moment setting foot in there.
Delko: Okay, we'll find you a hote-
Speed: Don't bother.
Delko: We can't help you if you don't let us.
Speed: I DON'T WANT YOUR DAMN HELP! *throws microscope*
Window breaks
Calleigh: *looks down at floor*
Delko: *frowning*
Speed: Get out.
Delko: No.
Speed: No?
Delko: No.
Speed: *walks over to Eric* I suggest you leave.
Delko: What are you going to do? Hit me?
Speed: *looks at Calleigh*
Delko: *steps in front of Calleigh* I don't think so.
Speed: Get out.
Delko: No. Not until you tell me what's going on.
Speed: GET OUT! *pulls out gun*
Delko: *lifts hands* Whoa, whoa Tim chill. We're just talking. No one needs to get hurt.
Speed: I am real sick of you boy scouts you know that?
Delko: You're not going to shoot me.
Speed: No. I was thinking about puttin' the gun to
my head. Less paperwork for me to do after.
Delko: You don't want to do that man.
Speed: You don't know what I want.
Delko: I know you want to be happy.
Speed: And I suppose you're going to fix me now.
Delko: Put the gun down and we'll talk.
Speed: *shakes head* No. I am tired of taking orders from people.
Delko: Alright fine. Blow yourself away, and leave your little girl without a father.
Speed: She's better off without me.
Delko: No, she's not.
Speed: You know...It's just...One more tug on your shirt and you completely lose it. *laughs* I can't take anymore. Wh-what, what do you do?
Delko: Well for starters you put down the gun.
Speed: *shakes head*
Horatio: *walks in* Speed.
Speed: *pulls trigger*
Glass shatters, people scream
Horatio: *lifts hands* Take it easy.
Speed: *frowning*
Horatio: We can talk this out, you don't need a gun.
Speed: So you're going to tell me what I need, and don't need now? Are you my
father now?
Horatio: No, but I'm asking you to put down the gun. Can you do that?
Speed: *throws gun*
Calleigh: *jumps*
Delko: *kicks gun into hallway*
Speed: Oh gee, saint Horatio saved the day. Ring the church bells guys.
Horatio: Let's go talk somewh-
Speed: No. You're not goin' anywhere.
Horatio: Excuse me?
Speed: You want to talk, go ahead.
Horatio: I realize that her death was hard on you, but you can't take it out on the lab and it's staff.
Speed: Wow great negotiating skills. Excuse me while I go out in a field and play with bunnies and unicorns.
Horatio: We can get you help.
Speed: I don't need help. I need you to LEAVE ME ALONE!
Horatio: I can't do that.
Speed: Why the hell not.
Horatio: Because right now you're a danger to everyone here and yourself. I want you to take a few days off.
Speed: You think a few days is going to fix me?
Horatio: No, but I can't have you destroying city property because you're frustrated and depressed.
Speed: Aw are you afraid I'll hurt your pretty lab?
Horatio: I'm going to have a radio car escort you to a hotel. You're going to stay there.
Speed: You going to have cops outside my door too?
Horatio: Mhm.
Speed: What about Lori?
Horatio: Right now my concern is you.
Speed: *frowns*
Horatio: Come on.
