Oh yes, I remember his middle name.
Thanks for the reviews everyone.

Hummerhome, 11pm
Delko: UNO! *slams card on floor*
Calleigh: Eric, you're sitting on three cards.
Delko: What? *looks down* Ah man.
Jess: Pick up the ones on the floor.
Delko: *picks up cards*
Horatio: *puts down card* Hey this game is fun. It's very simple too.
Carly: Yeah it was designed for people ages 8 and up...So essentially it's perfect for Eric.
Delko: Hey!
Speed: Well I'm beat. *puts cards down* I'm going to hit the sack.
Anni: Already?
Speed: Yeah. You going to stay up?
Anni: For a little while longer. I'll see you upstairs later.
Speed: Okay. *stands, leaves*
Katie: Could you guys excuse me for a second?
Horatio: Sure.
Katie: *stands, leaves*
Delko: UNO!
Calleigh: ...You turned it face down.
Delko: Yeah it matches all the other red cards.
Calleigh: *flips card over* This is the side you're supposed to be looking at.
Delko: ...This game confuses me. *scratches head*
Upstairs
Katie: ...*sigh* Okay. *knocks on door*
Two minutes later
Speed: *opens door*
Katie: WOW. *covers eyes* You are NOT wearing a shirt.
Speed: You need something?
Katie: Um...I kind of forgot why I was here.
Speed: Katie...
Katie: What?
Speed: It's not like you haven't seen this before.
Katie: *uncovers eyes* I know but I thought it would be rude to just stare.
Speed: *opens door wider* You might as well come inside.
Katie: *runs in*
Speed: *shuts door*
Katie: *turns around* We didn't really get a chance to speak when I got out.
Speed: You've had all day.
Katie: Yeah but I don't really like talking when everyone else is there. They ruin the moment.
Speed: What moment?
Katie: Well we haven't started one yet.
Speed: What kind of moment are we talking about here?
Katie: *sigh* Nevermind. Look, I just wanted to thank you for talking to me in there. I needed it. Even though you kind of had to and all.
Speed: ...I didn't have to.
Katie: Well you're my ex-husband, it would seem natural that you'd be the one to talk to me about my crime-committing ways. Well not that I already didn't know what I was doing was wrong but sometimes you need that extra shove into the right direction an-
Speed: You're rambling.
Katie: You're still half naked.
Speed: *grabs shirt*
Katie: Thank you.
Speed: So is that all you came here to talk about?
Katie: *buttons up Speed's shirt* Yeah and I wanted to tell you that I found a new place in a nice neighborhood.
Speed: That's good.
Katie: *nods*
Speed: *steps back* You going to keep working at the lab?
Katie: Nah, I don't think they would appreciate me back, seeing as I was fired.
Speed: Well yeah that would be one set-back.
Katie: *laughs*
Speed: *walks over to drawer*
Katie: So have you guys moved into a new place yet?
Speed: No.
Katie: Oh. You like it there?
Speed: It's a place to sleep and eat.
Katie: So's Africa.
Speed: *looks at Katie*
Katie: Meaning...Animals and...Huts...Poor people...I...I didn't mean anything by it.
Speed: *looks back at drawer*
Katie: Whoa, what are you doing?
Speed: I'm going to go shave.
Katie: At night?
Speed: I figure if I do it now, I won't have to deal with it in the morning.
Katie: Why, why wh-why why why would you do that? Why?
Speed: You mean shave?
Katie: Yeah.
Speed: Because my wife prefers it.
Katie: ...When the hell did that happen?
Speed: It's...Not really any of your business.
Katie: Don't you hate shaving?
Speed: I hate doing my taxes too but I get them done anyway.
Katie: That's not really the same thing.
Speed: You have a problem with me shaving?
Katie: No. Not at all. Nope. You go ahead and shave that face. Make it smoother than Horatio's ass.
Speed: *staring at Katie*
Katie: Okay bad example. I've never seen his ass. BADA BING! *laughs*
Speed: *walks into bathroom*
Katie: Okay...Awkward. SO UM, YOU REMEMBER HOW TO SHAVE RIGHT? I MEAN, YOU REMEMBER THAT THEY'RE DOWN STROKES, RIGHT?....OKAY THEN!
Two minutes later
Katie: *opening drawers* Socks, socks, more socks...They sure own a lot of socks. *lifts lingerie* WOW.
Speed: *walks over* What the hell are you doing?
Katie: *screams*
Speed: *frowning*
Katie: I was just...Making sure you didn't have bed bugs.
Speed: In the drawers.
Katie: Yeah. Those pesky critters can get anywhere nowadays. *looking at clothing* Anni really fits in this? It's kind of revealing and small.
Speed: *grabs clothing* Stop it.
Katie: What?
Speed: *throws clothes in drawer, shuts drawer* Stop going through her things.
Katie: Oh no worries, I was going through yours too.
Speed: *glaring* Obviously your treatment wasn't working.
Katie: Relax, I'm not psychotic. I'm just a snoop.
Speed: You mind
snooping in your own room?
Katie: What's the fun in that?
Speed: Are you finished?
Katie: Yeah.
Speed: Good. Get out.
Katie: You used to be a lot more fun.
Speed: *walks closer*
Katie: *backs up into door*
Speed: *leans over Katie* Stay out of our things.
Katie: You betcha.
Speed: I mean it.
Katie: Or what? You'll throw shaving cream at me?
Speed: *leans closer* This is not a good way to continue your treatment.
Katie: Um, what are you, my psychiatrist?
Speed: *staring at Katie*
Katie: ...*laughs* Uh...You mind backin' up there, partner?
Speed: *opens door*
Katie: *screams, falls*
Speed: *steps back*
Katie: THAT WAS VERY MEAN!
Speed: *shuts door*
Katie: *stands* YEAH WELL SAYS YOU! *stomps*
