karen999uk, Lori does seem to be one of the favs around here.
Well, why wouldn't she be? She's the spawn of Katie and Speed.
Happy New Years to everyone.
Katie! *huggles* You're back! *huggles some more*
*is hounded*
Long Way
Hummerhome, Canada
Horatio: STOP DRIVING LIKE A MANIAC! WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR LISCENCE! *makes motions for other driver to roll down their window*
Calleigh: *covers eyes*
Delko: *shakes head*
Horatio: He's not listening. Everyone listens to me. *plasters face to window* YOU WOULDN'T REFUSE THE SON OF GOD WOULD YOU!
Delko: I think impersonation of a divine biblical character is illegal.
Horatio: *giving people the finger*
Calleigh: *sigh* Horatio, they're billboards. You're parked in a field.
Horatio: ....
Delko: *looks around*
Anni: Did someone spike his water with vodka?
Horatio: It's...Driving this Hummerhome for so long. Screws your perspective.
Calleigh: Come on Horatio, let's calm you down. Eric will drive.
Everyone: ...
Calleigh: What?
Delko: Yeah I'm responsible. I'm taking Speed's place as the smartass clever one.
Anni: I just don't see it.
Katie: I do.
Everyone: *looks at Katie*
Katie: What?
Delko: Thanks Katie.
Katie: Oh don't get used to it. *crosses arms*
Delko: ...Sorry.
Horatio: NO! NO ONE TOUCHES MY HUMMERHOME!
Carly: I think he's snapped after this long.
Horatio: *stroking Hummerhome dashboard* My baby.
JC: Come on Horatio, let's go.
Horatio: NO! STAY AWAY!
Delko: I think he's going bananas.
Horatio: I like bananas. Who doesn't like bananas? WE. NEVER. CLOSE.
Everyone: *staring at Horatio*
Horatio: The occasion called for it.
Lounge
Jess: Okay hun, what do you want to watch?
Cait: TV.
Jess: Okay but what on TV?
Cait: I dunno.
Jess: How about Blue's Clues?
Cait: YAY!
Jess: Okay. *switches channel*
Cait: Hee.
Jess: You want some more cookies?
Cait: Nope. Too much isn't healthy.
Jess: ...Wow. And who taught you that?
Cait: Daddy.
Jess: And you're...Listening to him?
Cait: *nods*
Jess: Good girl. I wish I could say the same for your cousins. *laughs*
Cait: *staring at TV*
Jess: You're a quiet kid.
Cait: *nods*
Jess: Do you get into a lot of trouble at home?
Cait: *shakes head*
Jess: Why not?
Cait: *shrugs*
Jess: What do you usually do at home?
Cait: Read.
Jess: What do you read?
Cait: Books.
Jess: *laughs* Well I know that.
Cait: I colour, and read, and then I have a nap at 1.
Jess: You've got your whole life planned out, huh.
Cait: *nods*
Jess: What do you do for fun?
Cait: I go to the playground with daddy.
Jess: Is it fun?
Cait: *smiles* Uh huh. He takes me down the slide, and the swings, and the teeter totter.
Jess: Your dad sounds pretty cool.
Cait: *nods*
Jess: What about your mom?
Cait: I love mummy.
Jess: Good. Do you two have any fun?
Cait: *giggles* She paints my nails.
Jess: Ah man I wish my mom did that with me.
Cait: Hee.
Jess: Hey, you want to go bug your uncle at work?
Cait: YES!
Jess: Good, come on. We'll go down to PD. He's with a suspect.
Cait: What's a suspect?
Jess: Well, it's a person who we think might have done something bad.
Cait: Like what?
Jess: Like...Hurting someone, or breaking the rules.
Cait: People shouldn't break the rules. Daddy told me that.
Jess: He's right.
Interrogation
Speed: *places folder on table* Okay so you were parked at the campus.
Logan: ...Yeah I drive.
Speed: You own a yellow Ford explorer.
Logan: Yeah and it was the worst investment I've ever made. I sold it the other day.
Speed: Sold it, to who?
Logan: A guy.
Speed: Does the guy have a name?
Logan: Probably. I didn't get it.
Speed: You sold your truck to a guy and you didn't even ask his name?
Logan: I needed the money and he made me an offer.
Speed: Did he go to the college?
Logan: Probably.
Speed: What did he look like?
Logan: Uh..Tall.
Speed: Tall.
Logan: Yeah. It's not like I was thinking I was going to be needing his description.
Speed: Did you switch liscence plates?
Logan: I left mine on.
Speed: ...Why?
Logan: He said he was going to change the plates when he got back to his place, and then give me mine in the morning. I sold the truck to him at like midnight.
Speed: Well that was thinking with your heasd.
Logan: Okay I'm sorry for staying up so late and needing money.
Speed: *picks up folder, reads it* Don't give me an attitude. I'm not trying to grill you for selling your truck. I'm trying to find a murderer and my only lead is you.
Logan: What's the big deal anyway? That kid was being beaten up so obviously no one's going to miss him.
Speed: It's still murder.
Logan: Well I didn't kill him. I tried to protect him the last time. It's only because I found out the kid knew Lori.
Speed: *looks at Logan* You know Lori.
Logan: Yeah. So?
Speed: The guy who bought the truck, did he say anything else about the college, or his job?
Logan: Just that he might get more access to the college soon.
Speed: Why?
Logan: He didn't tell me why. He just said he needed the truck so he could park it at the college.
Speed: *looks at door*
Cait: *waves shyly*
Speed: *looks at Logan* I'm going to need you to stick around. I'll be back. *leaves*
Logan: Sure.
Halls
Speed: What are you doing here?
Cait: Jessie sent me here.
Speed: By yourself?
Cait: No she had to get a soda.
Speed: *picks up Cait* Come on, let's get you back to the lounge.
Cait: Who's the man in the room?
Speed: A suspect.
Cait: A bad guy?
Speed: I don't know. And where is Jess?
Cait: I don't know.
Speed: You're not supposed to be on your own.
Cait: Jessie said it was okay.
Speed: Jessie doesn't understand children.
Cait: Oh. Did I do something bad?
Speed: No, you didn't.
Cait: ...Why are there ladies staring at us?
Speed: Because this is a rare sight and something that should never happen again. I don't want to see you back in here, you understand?
Cait: *nods*
Lounge
Speed: *puts Cait down* Sit on this couch and don't move.
Cait: Okie.
Speed: *kneels* Now, your dad's going to be back a little later, so you need to be a good girl until then. Can you do that?
Cait: *smiles* Yup.
Speed: Good.
Cait: Mummy called last night.
Speed: Did she.
Cait: Mhm and I heard daddy talking to her on the phone.
Speed: About what?
Cait: Well mum says that Anni told her something about auntie Katie.
Speed: ...Really.
Cait: Yup. I was on the other phone listening.
Speed: What did she say?
Cait: What do I get out of it?
Speed: I won't tell your dad that you left the lounge.
Cait: Okie. WELL. Mum says that auntie Katie might have a baby.
Speed: ...Uh...Are you sure?
Cait: Yup. And Eric's the daddy.
Speed: *frowns* Stay here, your dad will be back. *leaves*
Cait: Okay.
Hummerhome
Horatio: EVERYONE CLEAN! THAT MEANS NO MESS! I WANT THIS PLACE SPIC AND SPAN IN NO TIME! *puts on apron* OH MY GOD THERE AREN'T ENOUGH APRONS FOR EVERYONE!
Calleigh: *cleaning stove*
Horatio: NO no no. You're not doing that right. You have to clean in circles. CIRCLES!
Calleigh: Geez, sorry.
Colton: Am I doing this right?
Horatio: *wide-eyed* WHAT ARE YOU DOING! THAT WINDOW CLEANER IS LEAVING STREAKS! GIVE ME THAT! *grabs window cleaner*
Colton: Uh..Okay. Sorry.
Delko: These stains are just impossible.
Horatio: You want to let the solution sit for a while and then dab it in but don't scrub it or you'll ruin the fibers.
Delko: Ah. I didn't know cleaning carpets was such a science.
cellphone rings
Katie: *opens phone* Yeah?
Speed: We need to talk.
Katie: ..Uh..We do?
Speed: Eric? With ERIC? Seriously. He barely has the mental capacity of a three year old and you want to have his kids?
Katie: Whoa, whoa, no one said I wanted his kids.
Everyone: *looks at Katie*
Katie: ...Telemarketer.
Everyone: *goes back to work*
Katie: *whispers* Tim this is not a good time.
Speed: Are you pregnant?
Katie: No I'm not. Will you stop freaking out?
Speed: Josh heard you were.
Katie: Josh heard a rumor.
Speed: So I take it you're still fooling around with Eric.
Katie: No I'm not. The only reason we were seeing each other is because I thought you were dead. I didn't think you were coming back.
Speed: Are you two still seeing each other?
Katie: No.
Speed: *sigh* You know what, this isn't working.
Katie: What isn't working?
Speed: This. I should trust you more than I do.
Katie: ....Wow. Never thought I'd hear you say that.
Speed: Well I slept with Jess so this is the least I can do.
Katie: YOU WHAT!
Speed: You actually sound shocked.
Katie: Oh...Yeah so I went a little over the top. Okay let's make a deal. We'll call it even.
Speed: Sounds good to me.
Katie: I'll see you in a few weeks.
Speed: You too.
Katie: *closes phone* Where were we?
Horatio: YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WITHOUT A SPONGE! *throwing sponges*
Katie: *screams*
