Hmm, I was just thinking of other thread name possibilities. (Y'all have to stop giving me ideas
)
"I've got, two tickets to Hummerdice!" :lol: ..Okay that's terrible. I'm sorry.
What Happens Next, What Happens Next
Hotel, 1 hour later
Katie: Okay so what's wrong?
Speed: Alison.
Katie: What about her?
Speed: She called me.
Katie: And?
Speed: And I think she wants to hurt you and the kids.
Lori: HAHA WOW! We have a hit out on us? Sweet.
Speed: Not funny Lori.
Lori: Well it's cool. I mean, you and mom get into all this stuff and I'm always left out. I feel kind of special knowing some whack job psychopath has heard of me and wants to take me out.
Speed/Katie: *stares at Lori*
Lori: What? I'm always up for some fun.
Speed: *hands gun to Lori* Keep this and don't use it unless it's necessary.
Lori: You're giving me a gun?
Katie: You're giving her a gun?
Speed: My gun.
Katie: Oh great now she's saved.
Speed: It works.
Lori: Can I test it?
Speed: No.
Lori: Dang.
Speed: Stay here.
Lori: I'm not staying here. I want in on the action.
Speed: You're too young for the action.
Lori: Exactly. Biologically it makes me faster, smarter, and more agile than you.
Speed: *lifts brow*
Lori: I probably have better reflexes too.
Speed: This isn't a contest.
Lori: Can I please shoot someone?
Speed: No.
Lori: You gave me a gun. Why give me a gun when I can't even have the intent to kill?
Speed: Because you're not liscenced to kill.
Lori: Oh and you look any more like James Bond? You're not even british.
Speed: *squints* You want me to take that gun back?
Lori: No.
Katie: Maybe we should let her help.
Speed: Why?
Katie: She has some ideas.
Speed: Some what?
Lori: Ideas.
Speed: You stay out of this.
Lori: Fine. I don't know who pissed in your cornflakes.
Katie: On the way over, she told me a few things she's done to defer attention away.
Speed: Away from what?
Lori: Food and money.
Speed: Quiet.
Lori: Sorry.
Speed: I don't care if she learned anything. She's not helping.
Lori: Then why do I get a gun?
Speed: Self defense.
Katie: I think she could be useful.
Speed: She's our daughter.
Katie: I'm your wife. You going to tell me I have to stay here too?
Speed: No of course not.
Katie: Just because she's younger than us doesn't mean she can't handle a simple job.
Speed: Don't give her any ideas.
Lori: I have plenty on my own.
Speed: Did I ask for your opinion?
Lori: No but I feel the need to give it all the time.
Speed: Great.
Katie: Look, I know you lost Teague but this is no reason to overprotect them.
Speed: You think that's what I'm doing.
Katie: You haven't grieved properly.
Speed: And what exactly falls under the heading of 'properly'?
Katie: You didn't even go to his funeral.
Lori: HAHA WHOA Teague was his kid? What a man whore.
Speed/Katie: *looks at Lori*
Lori: Sorry I'll stay out of this one.
Speed: Katie, this is not about Teague.
Katie: I think it is.
Speed: What do you want me to do? Cry?
Katie: No.
Speed: Lori and Holly stay here.
Katie: Lori's old enough to help.
Speed: She's fifteen.
Lori: Fourteen and three quarters.
Katie: We can drop Holly off at the Humma.
Speed: THEY'RE STAYING HERE!
Katie: *stares at Speed*
Speed: *leaves, slams door*
Lori: Haha oh man if only he was a teacher in my school. All those kids would be crying.
Katie: Not the time Lor.
Lori: Sorry.
Holly: Is daddy mad at me?
Katie: No he's just...Mad.
Holly: I wanna help.
Katie: You can't.
Holly: Why not?
Katie: You're not old enough.
Holly: I'm confused.
Lori: I'm old enough because I get the gun. You're not old enough because you watch Blues Clues.
Holly: Oh.
Lori: See? It's simple.
Holly: ...What if I stop watching Blue? Can I help then?
Lori: No.
Holly: *frowns* That doesn't seem fair.
Katie: Both of you stay here. *leaves*
Lori: Ah man.
Hallway, hotel
Katie: What is your problem?
Speed: I can't let this happen again.
Katie: Nothing has happened.
Speed: I need to protect them, and if it means...
Katie: Means what? Getting
yourself killed?
Speed: Yeah.
Katie: I'm not going to let you do that.
Speed: It's not really your choice.
Katie: Tim we will figure something out.
Speed: *shakes head* No. I'm going to shoot and ask questions later this time. *walks away*
Katie: ...Hmm...That's actually kind of hot.
Speed: You comin' or not!
Katie: Heck yes. *runs off*
