Maybe It's Not The End
Lounge, 11 pm
Katie: *leans head on Speed's shoulder*
Speed: *wraps arm around Katie*
Carly: I haven't heard them in a while. Maybe they left.
Jess: Yeah and maybe they turned the entire lab into cotton candy. Think in reality.
Carly: I think you're the one that has issues with reality.
Katie: You don't think they killed Lori right?
Speed: I'm sure she's fine.
Carly: Man I hope they don't kill us. I'm getting married next week.
Jess: I thought that was in two weeks.
Carly: Um next sunday is technically next week.
Jess: Whatever.
Katie: I'm going to go see if she's okay.
Speed: No, Katie stay here.
Katie: Why?
Speed: Because you'll get hurt.
Katie: I won't get hurt. You obviously don't know me very well.
Speed: Stay here, I'll be back.
Katie: Oh yeah and you're more safe than me? You're a walking bullet proof vest but you're not bullet proof.
Speed: *walks away*
Katie: He never listens.
Evidence Locker
Colton: Come out from under the table.
Lori: *shakes head*
Colton: Come out right now.
Lori: *shakes head*
Colton: I've got ice cream.
Lori: *narrows eyes*
Colton: I have...Candy.
Lori: *shakes head*
Colton: I can fix the cut on your head.
Lori: *shakes head*
Colton: Come on kid just get out of there.
Speed: *knocks over file*
Colton: *stands up, lifts gun*
Speed: ...Crap.
Colton: Get back in the lounge.
Speed: *lifts hands* Relax, you're the one with the gun.
Colton: What do you want?
Speed: *looks down* I see you flogged Trevor.
Colton: He got in my way.
Speed: Got in your way?
Colton: I've been using him. He thinks it's the other way around, but I've got one advantage over him. I'm smarter.
Speed: Yeah obviously. You broke into the lab, and now you have hostages, and you're stealing evidence. You're the smartest stupid person I've ever met.
Colton: *frowns* Give me one good reason why I shouldn't shoot you.
Speed: ...Uh...
Colton: *tilts head* Alright.
Speed: Wait, wait. You obviously need Lori for some reason right?
Colton: That's right.
Speed: I can get her out from under the table.
Colton: Do it.
Speed: Tell me why you need her.
Colton: I don't think so.
Speed: Maybe we can help you get out of here.
Colton: I doubt that.
Speed: Tell me why you need her.
Colton: Payment.
Speed: To whom?
Colton: The Columbians. Apparently you stole her from them.
Speed: You made a deal with them?
Colton: Yeah. I'm kind of a double agent for the FBI. They protect me, and I protect the Columbians.
Speed: That's how you got out of jail.
Colton: I had to get a little help from Trevor. Good thing he made a complaint against the lab.
Speed: What he did was against the law.
Colton: What's done is done and now I have to finish my mission.
Speed: So Trevor steals the evidence against him and you pay the Columbians with a little girl and that's it?
Colton: I get scott free and my name on a nice little island.
Speed: Courtesy of the Columbians right?
Colton: Yeah.
Speed: You don't need to take her. We can work something out. Pay them with something else.
Colton: My orders are to take the little girl.
Speed: Do you know what they do to children?
Colton: I'm aware of what they do.
Speed: She doesn't deserve that.
Colton: I'm sure she'll get used to it.
Speed: You can't take her.
Colton: I don't like it anymore than you do but it has to be done.
Speed: Or what, they kill you?
Colton: If they don't get what they want, they'll make Miami a very dangerous place to be.
Speed: What do you mean?
Colton: Small groups have access to bombs, guns, and even bio-weapons.
Speed: They're going to poison Miami?
Colton: First the water, and then the food....Next it'll be the air.
Speed: Why do they want Lori?
Colton: They aren't the kind of people you just walk up to and start asking questions.
Speed: So if they get her, they won't hurt anyone.
Colton: If there's one thing I learned about them, is that they keep their word.
Speed: *nods* ...How long do they need her?
Colton: Forever.
Speed: ...We need time to think this ov-
Colton: No. I have two hours. Well, now I have about a half hour.
Speed: ...Why her?
Colton: Well I'd only be speculating, but I hear young American girls are very sought after.
Speed: *frowns*
Colton: I need to leave in order to get to my location on time so you have about five minutes with your daughter.
Speed: Okay.
Colton: Make it quick.
Speed: *kneels* Lori?
Lori: *stares at Speed*
Speed: Come here.
Lori: *crawls out from under table*
Speed: Um...You're going to go away for a while.
Lori: Why?
Speed: It's complicated. But we won't be seeing each other for a long time.
Lori: I don't wanna go.
Speed: You have to.
Lori: *starts to cry*
Speed: ...Don't cry Lori, everything's going to be...fine.
Lori: *crying*
Speed: You can be a big girl right?
Lori: *nods*
Speed: Okay you need to do that for me, alright?
Lori: *hugs Speed*
Speed: *hugs Lori*
Colton: Look, I got a time limit here.
Lori: *crying* I don't wanna go.
Speed: *hugs tighter*
Colton: Wrap it up.
Speed: *lets go* Okay. You need to go with him now.
Lori: *shakes head*
Speed: You'll be fine.
Lori: *wipes eyes*
Speed: *stands*
Colton: *grabs Lori* You're saving all of Miami, you know that.
Speed: *nods*
Colton: Come on kid, we have a plane to catch. *picks up Lori* You can tell the hostages that they're free to go. When Trevor wakes up you can arrest him.
Speed: Yeah.
Colton: Okay Lori say bye bye to daddy.
Lori: *waves*
Colton: *leaves*
Speed: *stares down the hall*
