Aw. *hugs Colton* It will be okay.

Hummerhome, Maine
Ryan: So H, where are we off to?
Horatio: You have the map.
Ryan: Well..Yeah I know, but you're the one who's supposed to tell me where to look.
Horatio: Mr. Wolfe, don't look with your eyes.
Ryan: ...Okay. *holds map up to ear* The states aren't telling me anything.
Horatio: *sigh* It was a metaphor.
Ryan: Oh.
Delko: How come he gets to sit in Calleigh's spot but I have to stay on the couch?
Ryan: Because you don't know how to read.
Delko: I do so.
Ryan: Fine, read. *throws map*
Delko: *looks at map* Um...*scratches head* What does camino mean?
Lora: Eric, that's the spanish side.
Carly: And you
know spanish.
Lora: HOLY CRAP! HOW DID YOU GET BACK!
Carly: ...You know what? I have no idea. But I'm better.
Delko: Ah the unexplained.
Ryan: *grabs map back* Okay, so let's go to-
Delko: MIAMI!
Ryan: Eric, you already live there.
Delko: But there's so much I haven't seen. I hear celebrities live there.
Ryan: *looks down at map* So I hear Lincoln Colorado's a nice place.
Delko: *grabs map* HAHA! Lincoln looks like a backwards L! How funny.
Ryan: *grabs map back* Eric, shut up.
Horatio: Okay, Colorado it is. But we're going somewhere with mountains.
Delko: OH! Colorado has mountains!
Horatio: I know that. I meant close to mountains.
Lilly: Let's go to Africa.
Katie: WE'RE NOT GOING TO AFRICA!
Horatio: Hm, actually Africa seems like a nice choice. I'd like to get out of the country.
Katie: You were JUST OUT! YOU WENT TO THE UK!
Horatio: I meant somewhere warm.
Katie: You know what? No one knows what you mean anymore because it's all very cryptic. Speak english.
Horatio: I thought I was.
Carly: YAY AFRICA!
Katie: NO! No no no.
Horatio: Hm, it's a shame we don't have the Hummercopter anymore. *looks in rearview mirror*
Anni: Heheh..Um...ERIC DID IT.
Katie: Let's go to Brazil.
Horatio/Delko: NO.
Katie: See? We all have our issues.
Delko: *hugs Katie* Don't worry, I'll take care of you.
Katie: Ugh. *pushes Eric*
Horatio: It's decided. We're going to the country Togo.
Ryan: YES!
Katie: NO!
Heather: *lifts hand* I have a question and I want it to be answered seriously. Will there be a chance I can ride an elephant.
Anni: Honey, with any luck you'll be able to ride a m-
Horatio: Anni.
Anni: Well she's still single!
Heather: *sigh* It sucks. *looks at Ryan, bats eyes*
Ryan: *lifts brow*
Lilly: KEEP AWAY FROM MY MAN.
Heather: I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!
Lilly: I saw you looking. You with your long eyelashes and your pretty smile, and your stupid...Being more attractive than I am.
Heather: *gasp* No sweetie that's not true.
Lilly: Yes it is. *starts to cry*
Ryan: Aww. *hugs Lilly*
Lilly: HA! I WIN! TAKE THAT HEATHER!
Heather: *holds head in shame*
Horatio: Girls, let's act mature please.
Katie: *laughs*
Horatio: What?
Katie: Asking us to act mature is like giving chocolate to Eric and expecting it not to melt all over his face.
Delko: Hey I can eat chocolate.
Katie: Eric, there's a reason we don't GIVE you any.
Delko: You still give me peanut butter.
Katie: Yeah and it's always a mistake.
Delko: AFRICA.
Katie: *screams*
Anni: You're an idiot.
Katie: What? Why?
Anni: You're freaking out! C'mon, I'd give my retirement money to be tied up by Tim Speedle and don't you even say "oh but he hurt me" because he still had his pants on!
Katie: ...
Anni: That's right.
Katie: *scratches head* ...Anni?
Anni: Yes hun?
Katie: YOU SUCK. *slaps Anni*
Anni: OW! *holds face*
Katie: *crosses arms*
Anni: You
are a bitch.
Katie: What? Who told you that? Where did you hear that from?
Anni: My hubby.
Katie: *frowns* Stop calling him that. WAIT! WHAT! WHAT DID HE CALL ME!
Anni: Ha.
Horatio: Ladies...
Katie: Don't you 'ladies' me.
Horatio: Would you like to walk back to Miami?
Katie: Yes, it would be a very refreshing walk.
Horatio: Then too bad. You'll have to tough it out here.
Katie: ERGH.
Delko: So...You
want to walk back to Miami?
Katie: Yep. Anni's 'hubby' lives here.
Anni: *wide-eyed*
Katie: HA.
Anni: *frowns* You're supposed to hate him.
Katie: ...SHUT UP.
Delko: You know, it's funny how the guy isn't even here and you two still manage to bicker about him.
Katie/Anni: ...
Delko: Just an observation.
Ryan: I wonder if they named Togo after anyone.
Lilly: *raises hand* J-
Heather: *covers Lilly's mouth* SHUT UP THE WORLD WILL IMPLODE. Besides, they didn't name it after anyone we know of.
Colton: *crying in the corner*
Everyone: *looks at Colton*
Colton: *pointing at TV* SUI CIDAL DIED!
Lora: ...Did anyone else just get very confused by that?
Carly: Um, she didn't die. She left.
Colton: SAME THING! *crying*
Carly: CSI:Reno?
Colton: *nodding*
Carly: That sucks.
Katie: Yeah I remember when Jim Speedo died. Those were some bad times.
Colton: Sui is the best character EVER! So don't even compare her to JIM SPEEDO! *throws juice box*
Katie: OW! Man Colton, that thing had corners! *rubs eye*
Colton: SHE TOTALLY JUST LEFT! How am I supposed to live now? How am I supposed to move on when the only thing in my life that was important totally just LEFT!
Ryan: I thought Calleigh was the most important thing to you.
Colton: SHUT UP! *throws juice box*
Ryan: OW!
Lora: Where does he keep getting those things?
Colton: *sigh* My life will never be the same again.
Horatio: Relax Colton, once you get over the aftershock of it all, the sadness turns into denial, the denial turns into anger, the anger turns into bargaining and then the bargaining turns into acceptance. All in due time.
Colton: *stares at Horatio* YOU HAVE NO IDEA.
Horatio: Hey, I've lost people before.
Colton: YOUR BROTHER WAS ALIVE!
Horatio: ...That's true. In my defense, he
did die again.
Colton: Yeah well you looked SOOO broken up about it. You know what, screw you.
Horatio: No need to get nasty.
Lora: I think he's experiencing anger. He's a little out of order. *grabs Colton* DENIAL! D-E-N-
Colton: BWAAAAAAAAAA! *kicks Lora*
Lora: OW! *falls over*
Colton: I need Calleigh. *sniff*
Katie: Ha, well she's going out with Eric now so that's out of the oh my God I just spilled the beans.
Delko: *wide-eyed*
Everyone: *staring at Eric*
Anni: I..TOTALLY DIDN'T KNOW.
Katie: Oh shut up, you did so. You're the one who found the text messages.
Colton: You...You're dating MY Calleigh?
Delko: I don't think she belongs to anyone.
Colton: YOU MUST DIE! *lunges*
Delko: AHHH!
Colton: *punching Eric* HOW DARE YOU DATE MY CALLEIGH! *punching Eric* DIE DIE DIE!
Delko: AH! AH! AH!
Colton: YOU SUCK!
Katie: You said it brother.
Colton: GRAWRLG!
Lora: ...Was that a word? Sounded more like a fart.
Delko: H! HELP ME!
Horatio: You dug your own grave with that one Eric.
Delko: BUT I LOVE HER!
Colton: *stops*
Delko: ...
Colton: *staring at Eric*
Delko: *covers mouth*
Colton: *blinks*
Lora: *whispers* This is so tense.
Anni: *whispers* I think they can still hear you.
Colton: *stands* You...WHAT! *kicking Eric* AHHHHHH!
Delko: *screaming*
Horatio: *rubs temples* You're in your happy place, you're in your happy place, you're in your h-
Ryan: Semi.
Horatio: WHOA! *turns wheel*
Miami, Trace lab
Calleigh: *walks in, smiles* Hey.
Speed: Hey.
Calleigh: I went over the scene and guess what I found. *holds up bullet*
Speed: Nice.
Calleigh: Cardenas must have fired his weapon. It's a match to the bullets pulled out of Renta.
Speed: Now all we have to do is find the guy.
Calleigh: You have anything?
Speed: I took photos of the car treads from behind the building and matched them to a make and model. *hands over paper*
Calleigh: 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby Cobra GT500KR. Nice.
Speed: And not widely available.
Calleigh: So we track down the car, we can track down Cardenas.
Speed: Except there's a car show on the beach for the next three days so people and their tricked out rides are going to be all over Miami.
Calleigh: *smile fades* Great.
Printer beeps
Speed: *places pen on table* Which is why I remind Eric that it's always about trace. The guy sees a car and thinks he owns the case. *grabs paper from printer* Found what looked like motor oil between the treads.
Calleigh: Penzoil...It's not exactly uncommon.
Speed: For a new mustang it is. The guy might have millions but he's still cheap.
Calleigh: *smiles* Why didn't you just tell me before?
Speed: *smirks* There's no fun in giving away the ending right when you walk in.
Calleigh: *grinning*
