:lol: Bertha!
And Lori terminated the pregnancy, lol.
Wow, I'm so blunt. :lol: That's so weird. Usually I'm all over the place. But yeah, it was mentioned in one of those chapters up there before she left.
When The World Gets In My Face
Paris, 1 am
Katie: So, did you have a good business meeting?
Grant: It was the usual.
Katie: *drinks whine*
Grant: Let's finish off this bottle.
Katie: *laughs* I think I've had enough tonight.
Grant: Go on, have some more. It's expensive and I wouldn't want you to store it away and never drink it again.
Katie: Doesn't wine get better with age?
Grant: It does.
Katie: *giggles*
Grant: You know, I don't think your daughter likes me.
Katie: *waves hands around* Ah don't listen to her. She's always like that.
Grant: She seems smart.
Katie: OH I know. She is just like, one of the smartest smart people I've ever known.
Grant: Good to know.
Katie: *smiling* Yeah.
Grant: ...Katie, I know this is kind of...Quick, but...
Katie: What?
Grant: ...I really,
really have enjoyed our time together.
Katie: Oh me too. You're just super.
Grant: *laughs* Thanks.
Katie: So what's quick?
Grant: Let's get married.
Katie: *chokes on wine* ...Excuse me?
Grant: I love you.
Katie: Uh...Well, I love you too, but...I mean...We haven't known each other very long.
Grant: We've spent every waking and..Unwaking moment together for the past two weeks. I mean, we even met on the plane. You've changed my life and I want to spend the rest of it with you.
Katie: Um...Well, I just got out of a marriage, I'm not sure I-
Grant: You got out of a prison. Whoever you had before, was a pathetic loser who took you for granted. He didn't love you the way I love you. Come on, you told me how much you hated him.
Katie: I know.
Grant: And you love me, right?
Katie: I do.
Grant: See? I do. We're halfway there.
Katie: *laughs*
Grant: *hands over ring*
Katie: HOLY SH-EETS.
Grant: You like it?
Katie: It's bigger than my house.
Grant: Will you marry me?
Katie: OKAY!
Grant: *smiles* Perfect. I have a date set.
Katie: Awesome, what month?
Grant: Tomorrow.
Katie: *lifts brow* Tomorrow?
Grant: Let's elope.
Katie: That fast huh.
Grant: I love you that much.
Katie: Yeah, but tomorrow?
Grant: *frowns* Is that a problem?
Katie: No! No not at all.
Grant: *smiles* Good. You know, I never liked any of that churchey stuff. Everyone makes a big deal about marriage, but it's just a glamour contest.
Katie: Yeah.
Grant: I've already planned the honeymoon.
Katie: You have?
Grant: Cuba.
Katie: Huh. *laughs nervously* Cuba.
Grant: It's isolated, it's quiet, and no phone service where we'll be. So that means,-
Katie: We can't call for help?
Grant: *laughs* We can't call
anyone. Well, that is of course unless you go at the top of a building or something.
Katie: Well we won't be spending much time on the top of a building, will we?
Grant: Nope.
Katie: Cool.
Grant: We are going to have the best time. You're going to love it. You're always saying how you hate crowds of people. Well, in this place, you could scream bloody murder and no one would hear it.
Katie: *nervous smile*
Grant: Let's go get some sleep.
Katie: Maybe you should go back to your place tonight. I mean, we're not supposed to see each other before the...Eloping.
Grant: No, I'll stay here.
Katie: I think you should go anyway.
Grant: *glares* NO. *smiles* No, I'm staying. We're in love, and people in love shouldn't push each other away.
Katie: I wasn't pushing, I-
Grant: Come on. *grabs Katie's hand* Let's go.
Katie: ...Alright.
3 am, Katie's bedroom
Grant: *snoring*
Katie: *opens cellphone, dials number*
Grant: *grabs Katie's arm* Who are you calling this early?
Katie: ...My bank. I wanted to know how much money I had for coffee this morning.
Grant: Well that looks like a 9 and a 1.
Katie: ...*laughs* You know what I did? I dialed the wrong number again.
Grant: Why don't you give me the phone and get some rest.
Katie: ...Okay. *hands over phone*
Grant: *puts phone in drawer* Go to sleep.
Katie: You know what I was thinking?
Grant: Shh, I'm trying to sleep.
Katie: *frowns* Yeah, b-
Grant: Shh.
Katie: ...*lays on pillow*
Two days later, Miami

Donner: Hey you paged me?
Calleigh: *smiles* Yes.
Donner: What do you have?
Calleigh: Sean's body revealed a bullet wound.
Donner: Autopsy said he wasn't shot.
Calleigh: Well ours does.
Donner: ...So no one looked.
Calleigh: They assumed cause of death was from the fall.
Donner: So can we match it?
Calleigh: We can. And I did.
Donner: Who does the gun belong to?
Calleigh: Eric Delko.
Donner: ...He shot him.
Calleigh: He shot twice. One bullet was recovered from a column and the secnd one we recovered from his sternum.

Layout room
Jess: *sigh*
Colton: *walks in* What's wrong?
Jess: ...Some lab tech just said I almost killed Carly.
Colton: How would they know?
Jess: They don't.
Colton: So don't pay attention to them.
Jess: There are rumors going around that I was on that boat.
Colton: Weren't you?
Jess: Yeah but I didn't kill anyone!
Colton: Well you know you didn't, so it's no one's business.
Jess: *sigh* I just don't want to lose my reputation.
Colton: What reputation?
Jess: *smirks* Funny.
Colton: I knew that'd cheer you up.
Jess: Thanks.
Colton: So, have you spoken to Eric recently?
Jess: No. IAB was talking to him. I think he's in some kind of trouble.
Colton: Good.
Jess: *rolls eyes* I know you don't like him but he's my fiancé, so just keep your opinions to yourself.
Colton: Sorry.
Jess: *nods*
Trace Lab
Carly: *walks in, smiles*
Speed: You're looking better.
Carly: Lay it on me brother.
Speed: *hands over folder* You're helping Anni and Colton on this case.
Carly: *opens folder* Cool, re-opened case.
Speed: Yeah, I thought you might like it. You used to work cold cases back in Australia.
Carly: How did you know that?
Speed: I looked it up.
Carly: *laughs* Of course you did.
Cellphone rings
Speed: *opens phone* Yeah, it's Speed.
Screaming heard on the other end
Speed: *holds phone away*
Carly: *lifts head from folder*
Phone clicks
Speed: *looking at phone*
Carly: ...Who was that?
Speed: I don't know.
Carly: Wrong number?
Speed: How many people do you know call cell phones and scream 'Tim help me'.
Carly: ...Non...Wrong numbers.
Speed: I think it was Katie.
Carly: Oh, you're not still going on about her.
Speed: No, I recognized the voice.
Carly: Why, did she scream a lot when she was with you?
Speed: *looks at Carly*
Carly: WHOA, I meant that in the most non-dirty way possible.
Speed: Why would she call me?
Carly: Because it wasn't her. It was probably just some teenagers.
Speed: Yeah, you're probably right.
Carly: Anyway, I'm going to go see what Anni has for me. *leaves*
Speed: *looks down at phone, presses re-dial*
Cuba, top of building
Katie: GET AWAY FROM ME!
Grant: Why did you come up here!
Katie: To get away from you.
Cellphone starts to ring
Grant: Don't you answer that.
Katie: *grabs phone, opens it*
Grant: *runs over*
Katie: HELP! HE'S TRYING TO KILL ME!
Grant: *throws phone over edge of building* Now it's your turn.
Katie: *runs*
Grant: *grabs Katie*
Katie: *screams*
