When You Turn Around Can You Recognize My Face
Katie's house, 8 pm
Carly: Cait, eat your food.
Caitlin: I'm done.
Carly: You're not done. You have the crust to eat.
Caitlin: *shakes head*
Carly: Cait, eat the crust. You're not getting desert if you don't.
Caitlin: *shakes head*
Speed: *sigh* I can't take it anymore. *sits beside Caitlin*
Carly: You're not going to yell at her are you?
Speed: *grabs pizza from box, turns it around* You don't like crust?
Caitlin: *shakes head*
Speed: *eats crust* Mmmm. See? It's good.
Caitlin: *covers mouth, shakes head*
Speed: It's actually better than the pizza. You mean you haven't even had the best part of the pizza?
Caitlin: *stares at Speed*
Speed: Alright here. *breaks off piece of crust* Try a bit. If you don't like it, that's fine.
Caitlin: *grabs crust*
Speed: Go ahead.
Caitlin: *eats crust*
Speed: Good?
Caitlin: *smiles*
Speed: *smirks* Good girl.
Katie: Now THAT is hot.
Speed/Carly: *look at Katie*
Katie: Uh...The pizza box. Very hot. Burned my hands.
Carly: Well, Cait you have to go wash up so we can go home. Okay?
Caitlin: *nods* Okie mum.
Carly: *grabs Caitlin's hand* Come on, go upstairs.
Cait, Carly leave
Katie: *grinning*

Speed: Oh geez.
Katie: *squeals*

Katie: TEEHEE! TEEHEE! *jumping up and down*
Speed: *puts pizza box in garbage* I don't even want to know what you're thinking.
Katie: That's okay I'll keep it to myself. *closes eyes*
Speed: Whatever you say. *puts dishes into sink*
Katie: ....*starts giggling*
Speed: What now.
Katie: Sorry I have a very vivid imagination.
Speed: I don't want to know.
Carly: *walks downstairs* Cait's ready to go.
Katie: YAY! I mean, well the fact that she's ready. Not that she's leaving. Because she's a guest and guests are always allowed to stay here because our house is REALLY big and empty and well I've been here alone for almost two years and man it makes you GO INSANE and haha that's okay though because well now it feels a little more full because well you and Cait are here a-
Speed: *covers Katie's mouth* Enough.
Katie: *mumbling*
Speed: *rolls eyes*
Carly: Thanks for having us over. Cait, say goodbye.
Caitlin: *waves shyly*
Katie: *waves super fast*
Speed: *winks*
Caitlin: *giggles*
Carly: Alright let's go.
Carly, Caitlin leave
Katie: *runs around the room* YOU'RE BACK! YOU'RE BACK! YOU'RE BACK! YOU'RE BACK! YOU'RE BACK! YOU ARE SO BACK!
Speed: You okay?
Katie: *jumping up and down on spot*

Katie: TEEHEE! *runs over, jumps on Speed*
Speed: AH! *falls backward*
Speed/Katie fall
Speed: Oof!
Katie: *giggling*
Speed: You are insane.
Katie: *hugging Speed* Ah you're home.
Speed: You want to get off of me?

Speed: Katie...
Katie: Ah fine. *stands*

Katie: TEEHEE.
Speed: Knock it off.
Katie: Fine.
Speed: Thank you.
Katie: ...*jumps on Speed's back*
Speed: AH! KATIE!
Katie: TEEHEE!
Speed: *throws Katie onto the floor*
Katie: OW! Hehe that was fun. DO IT AGAIN!
Speed: I just threw you onto the floor.
Katie: And it was fun. HA! *stands*
Speed: *shakes head*
Katie: *pushes Speed into wall*
Speed: What is your problem?

Speed: *grabs Katie*
Katie: *screams*
Speed: *smirks*
Katie: *grinning*
Lori: *walks in* Hey, I picked up your mail and WOW am I interrupting something?
Katie: *clears throat* Not at all.
Speed: *crosses arms*
Lori: Well...Anyway, I got your mail.
Katie: Thanks. *grabs bills*
Lori: I'm going to head back to my place in a few minutes, I just wanted to ask if you were going to help me paint my apartment.
Katie: Sure, no problem.
Lori: Tim, you're welcome to help too.
Speed: *lifts brows* ...I probably have to work this weekend.
Lori: *smiles* Okay no problem. See you guys later. *leaves*
Katie: *opens mail*
Speed: ...Tim huh.
Katie: Oh stop it.
Speed: Stop what?
Katie: So she doesn't call you 'daddy' anymore. Big deal.
Speed: Yeah but Tim? It's so...Informal.
Katie: You told her that she could call you that.
Speed: Yeah but I didn't think she would actually listen. She was 14 when I told her that.
Katie: If you have a problem with it, just tell her.
Speed: I don't have a problem with it.
Katie: *nods*
Speed: ...Why does it look like I have a problem with it?
Katie: *touches Speed's chest* Let it go honey. *walks away*
Speed: I don't have a problem with it!

So Much For My Happy Ending
9 am, Next day, Dade Mutual Bank
Jess: Seriously, did you have to take out money this early? We have to get to a scene.
Colton: It'll only take a minute.
Jess: *sigh* Use the ATM like everyone else.
Colton: I don't want to use the ATM. It always eats my card.
Jess: So don't use a card.
Colton: How do you expect me to use an ATM then?
Jess: ...I suppose that's why we're in the bank huh.
Colton: Yeah.
Jess: I like what you've done to your hair.
Colton: ...
Jess: I'm making small talk.
Colton: ...Thanks then...I guess.
Jess: *smiles* You know who you remind me of?
Colton: Who.
Jess: A little bit of Colin Farrel and Jensen Ackles.
Colton: Uh...I don't look like them at all.
Jess: IT WAS A COMPLIMENT! Why can't you take a compliment!
Colton: Because I can't take lies as a compliment.
Jess: Oh good Lord.
Teller: Sir, can I help you?
Colton: Yes. I need to withdraw some money.
Teller: Can I have your account number please?
Colton: 889.
Teller: ...Are you sure?
Colton: Yeah. Is there a problem?
Teller: No. I was just asking if you were sure.
Guys storm in
Guy1: EVERYONE ON THE FLOOR!
Guy2: *shoots the ceiling*
People scream
Colton: *ducks*
Jess: *hides behind counter corner*
Guy1: *shooting the ceiling* WHOO! Come on boys, it's pay day!
Colton: *pulls out gun*
Jess: What are you doing?
Colton: I'm going to take him out.
Jess: There are like five of them and one of you are you insane?
Colton: Miami Dade Police! *points gun at guy*
Guy1: *points gun at Colton* Oh look at the little copper. How cute. You think you're going to save all these people with one little gun?
Jess: Colton, get back here.
Guy2: *grabs Jess*
Jess: *screams*
Colton: Let her go.
Guy1: *grabs little kid* You gotta pick, man. Either the kid dies or your partner dies.
Colton: It doesn't work that way.
Guy1: Unfortunately, you're not exactly in a position to be making the rules.
Colton: No one needs to get hurt. They'll get the money for you and you can leave.
Guy1: You think I'm here for the money? *laughs*
Jess: Colton!
Guy1: She's pretty.
Colton: *frowns* Let the kid go, and let Jess go.
Guy1: Jess huh? Hey man grab her wallet.
Guy2: *grabs Jess' wallet*
Guy1: What's the address?
Guy2: A place on the water near the edge of town.
Guy1: Well, now that I have Jess' address, I might be able to kill her after all.
Colton: You don't need to kill anyone. We want to help you get what you want.
Guy1: You don't know what I want.
Colton: Well besides money, we can get you anything.
Guy1: I want you to pick.
Colton: *lifts brow*
Guy1: Either the little kid, or your pretty cop friend.
Colton: ...
Guy1: Tick tock my man.
Colton: ...*looks at kid*
Kid: *crying*
Colton: *looks at Jess*
Jess: *staring at Colton*
Colton: ...If I pick, will you leave?
Jess: WHAT!
Guy1: Absolutely.
Colton: ...Shoot me.
Guy1: *laughs* He's funny.
Guy2: *laughing*
Guy1: What a heroic guy. Kind of reminds me of that guy in that movie with those people.
Guy2: ...Titanic?
Guy1: *looks at guy2* Does it look like I watch Chick Flicks?
Guy2: *shrugs* Hey man I liked Titanic.
Guy1: Time's up. *shoots kid*
Kid dies
Colton: *pulls trigger*
Guy1/2: *run off*
Other guys follow, sirens are heard in the distance
Colton: *runs over to kid*
Jess: Is the kid alive?
Colton: *shakes head*
Jess: ...
Horatio: *walks in* Guys? You okay?
Jess: ...
Colton: ...
Horatio: It's over.
Colton: Yeah it certainly is. *walks away*
Jess: He saved me.
Horatio: Let's get you back to the lab, Jess.
Jess: ...He used to be a criminal...And he saved me.
Horatio: Some people can change.
Jess: He was just...Such a cop, you know?
Horatio: *smirks* Let's get you somewhere safe.
Interview room
Tripp: What the hell were you doing in there? You could have gotten more people killed.
Colton: These guys rushed in with guns and we're cops. What did you expect us to do?
Tripp: It's not about what you should have done because you're a cop. You got someone killed because you used poor judgement badge or not.
Colton: I didn't have a choice!
Tripp: You get a good look at the guys or not?
Colton: No I didn't They had masks.
Tripp: So we have nothing because you went gung-ho in there and decided to be a hero.
Colton: Hey more people could have gotten hurt if I did NOTHING!
Tripp: You should have done nothing!
Horatio: *places hands on hips* Gentlemen, let's calm down for a minute. Colton, I want you to tell me what happened.
Colton: Jess and I were at the bank when these guys stormed in with guns. They were shooting the ceiling and I thought they might hurt someone.
Tripp: You THOUGHT? You're as bad as Delko.
Horatio: Frank, we're not discussing Eric right now so let's stay with the current situation.
Colton: They gave me a choice to pick the kid or Jess. I told them to shoot me but the guy went for the kid instead.
Horatio: Did you fire your weapon is what I want to know.
Colton: I did. I missed.
Horatio: Frank, go ahead.
Tripp: There was a string of robberies in the Miami area and we were close to catching these guys until you pulled a John Wayne on them and now they're in the wind. You could have cost us the entire case.
Colton: With all due respect I wasn't thinking about your case, I was thinking about the lives of innocent people.
Tripp: More people could die because of this. You ever think of that?
Colton: That's the chance I took. An officer could have died today.
Tripp: Better her than more people.
Colton: *glares*
Horatio: Okay guys, we're going to clear this up. Colton, take a walk.
Colton: Sure. *leaves*
Horatio: Frank, can we still get them.
Tripp: I don't see how. Mister cop wannabe put the entire case in jeopardy.
Horatio: You telling me you wouldn't have done the same?
Tripp: It doesn't matter what I would have done. This case could be blown to hell because he opened his big mouth. I just hope your team is as good as you say they are. *leaves*
Horatio: Me too Frank....Me too.
Halls
Calleigh: *smiles* Hey Colton, what's up?
Colton: I don't really have time to talk right now.
Calleigh: What's wrong?
Colton: Nothing. *walks away*
Calleigh: ...Okay.
Lounge
Jess: I'm still scared. I mean, those guys know where I live.
Anni: Honey, they're not going to come looking for you. They're much more interested in money.
Jess: What if they come back?
Anni: Then you have a whole bunch of friends who are going to back you up.
Jess: *nods*
Anni: Where's Colton?
Jess: I don't know.
Anni: I heard he jeopardized a case.
Jess: Really.
Anni: Yeah and if he hadn't said anything, all those hostages would have died.
Jess: Yeah.
Megan: *walks in* Jessica, I need to speak with you.
Jess: ...Why?
Megan: Officer involved shooting requires that I ask you a few questions. Stetler's with Colton now.
Jess: It wasn't his fault.
Megan: We're going to determine that. Come along.
Jess: *looks at Anni*
Anni: It's okay hun, I'll be here when you get back.
Jess: Alright. *leaves*
