Anyway great work and lookin forward to more Geni.
 
Aww. Poor Lori is so sure that Daddy hates her. Poor Tim is trying to show her that he isn't. Why are they both so damn stubborn?
And oh man, Lori walked into a wall. I walk into walls all the time, and that's when I'm *not* medicated :lol:
Great updates, Geni :D As always, can't wait for more!
 
Awww god bless Lori and her little drugged up heart. lol. I know she's all stubborn being right now but I'm sorry I find her being mad at Speed really cute. I mean I know they need to make up but its cute. And that whole 'Sorry ma'am' thing just cracked me up. lol. Update soon.
 
The last fewe chapters have been so great. I must get back to reading the old threads asap because it's such a clever mix of funny and heartbreaking
Update soon please!

And I really did prefer the earlier threads as well. They were so...Not very angsty. :lol: *hugs the first thread*

So as it turns out, my computer is hatched once again, so I have about...Maybe two hours on the computer every night until Saturday, so expect very little chapters, or no chapters at all. :p --Well I'll try and post a couple of chapters tonight if I get the chance. :)
 
WHAT???oh hun thats not good...on all counts (the hacking, the very small or no chance of chapters) *starts to cry* what will I do without the road trip??

Alright, I've been trying to snag a computer for the past two days and here I am and I'm not leaving until I post the bloody chapter. :lol:

Turning Corners

Anni/Speed's apartment 10am

Anni: *walks in* Hey honey.

Speed: *reading newspaper* ...Weird.

Anni: *laughs* Hey Tim.

Speed: Better.

Anni: *walks over, kisses Speed* So you goin' into work today?

Speed: I'm off.

Anni: *sigh* Of course you are. That's why I'm working again today. I can't get a day off.

Speed: I'm sorry for your loss.

Anni: Cute.

Lori: *walks out of bedroom slowly*

Anni: Hey you're up.

Lori: *rubs eyes* Yeah I'll be up when my head stops pounding.

Speed: Rough night?

Lori: Shut up.

Anni: Respect your father.

Lori: You're not my mother.

Speed: *looks at Lori*

Anni: Honey I'm not trying to be your mother.

Lori: *frowns* What makes you any better for him than my mother?

Anni: Uh...

Speed: You don't have to answer that.

Lori: What are you, her lawyer?

Anni: Lori, I'm not trying to be anything. Your father and I love each other.

Lori: *looks at Speed*

Speed: Uh...Well this looks like one of those girl-talk things I hear so much about so I'm going to take my sports page into the other room. *leaves*

Lori: *crosses arms*

Anni: I don't want to compete with your mother and I'm not trying to.

Lori: So are you sleeping with him?

Anni: No.

Lori: Yeah right. You've only wanted to dig your claws into him since you met him.

Anni: You think I'm only doing this because he's divorced?

Lori: Yeah.

Anni: I love him.

Lori: Sure you do.

Anni: I'm serious. I love him more than anything.

Lori: ...Even porn?

Anni: Lori, I know that it's hard to see someone move on, but we're in love.

Lori: Has he told you that he loves you?

Anni: ...Not yet. But he's not the most sentimental guy.

Lori: I just don't think you guys are very good for each other.

Anni: I'm not going to break it off with him just because you don't approve.

Lori: Hey if y'all get married I have to deal with it.

Anni: Who says we're getting married?

Lori: No one.

Anni: So don't worry about it.

Lori: I'm just trying to look out for him.

Anni: He's a grown man. He can do things for himself.

Lori: I know, but I wouldn't feel like a good daughter if I sat back and watched him run another relationship into the ground.

Anni: ...You think that's what this is? That we'll end up like what him and Katie used to have?

Lori: You already said you weren't trying to be her.

Anni: I'm not. And you know what? They had many good years of marriage, and they've both moved on. I think it's time that you did too.

Lori: *nods*

Anni: Are we okay?

Lori: *smirks* Yeah we're fine.

Anni: Great.

Speed: *walks in* I can't find my keys.

Anni: Tim you and I need to talk.

Speed: Uh oh what did I do?

Anni: Nothing.

Lori: *smiling*

Speed: ...Seriously what did I do?

Lori: I have to go buy some...You know, girl things. *punches Speed* Knock 'em dead. *leaves*

Speed: Knock who dead? What just happened?

Anni: *walks over* We had a little talk.

Speed: Well I can see all the furniture is still in place and unharmed so obviously there was no cat fight.

Anni: We just had a conversation.

Speed: About what?

Anni: You and Katie.

Speed: ...What about me and Katie?

Anni: I was telling her how you two have moved on from each other and she'll have to accept it.

Speed: Well I'm glad you told her so I didn't have to. She'd probably punch me again.

Anni: So um...Tell me how you feel about...Me.

Speed: *stares at Anni*

Anni: *bites lip*

Speed: You're very neat.

Anni: ...Neat. I really hope that was a joke because it's really funny.

Speed: Then how come you're not laughing?

Anni: Because IT'S NOT FUNNY!

Speed: *nods slowly*

Anni: *sigh* Sorry. It's just that...Well you haven't told me you love me yet.

Speed: I was supposed to?

Anni: Well every woman needs to hear it once in a while.

Speed: But those words are...Scary and so over-used.

Anni: Not if you mean it.

Speed: What is it with women and their conversations? You two were about to duke it out and now you've formed some sort of alliance against me.

Anni: Do you love me or not?

Speed: I can't just throw around those three little words.

Anni: So you don't love me.

Speed: That's not what I said.

Anni: So then just say something.

Speed: ...

Anni: ...

Speed: Seaweed.

Anni: ...Seaweed. I ask you to say something and you say seaweed.

Speed: It's very good for the skin.

Anni: *frowns* Tim you are unbelievable.

Speed: I guess you don't mean that in a good way.

Anni: *places hands on hips*

Speed: HA. A Horatio impersonation. That's really very good.

Anni: *narrows eyes*

Speed: I should have said something else.

Anni: No, I think you probably would have said something stupid either way. *walks away*

Speed: Anni!

Anni: *turns on sink*

Speed: Anni, come on.

Anni: *scrubs dishes*

Speed: Those are clean.

Anni: *scrubbing*

Speed: And you're using sand paper.

Anni: It gets the job done.

Speed: Yeah if you want to engrave the plates.

Anni: *throws plate into sink* Do you love me or not? It's a simple question.

Speed: *sigh* You know I do.

Anni: So say it.

Speed: I love you.

Anni: You're only saying that to shut me up.

Speed: *frowns*

Anni: It's okay Tim I understand your fear of commitment.

Speed: ....You think I have a fear of commitment.

Anni: Yeah.

Speed: I've been married.

Anni: And you guys were on and off so many times.

Speed: That doesn't mean I have a fear of commiting it means our relationship was more like a light switch. And besides, it's not like you're all warm and fuzzy with the idea of a long-term relationship.

Anni: I can...Have a long-term relationship.

Speed: What was the longest relationship you ever had?

Anni: Uh...Well there was this one horse I leased when I was 12...

Speed: Nice try.

Anni: So we both aren't exactly the best at keeping relationships. Big deal.

Speed: *smirks* See? We're meant to be together.

Anni: *laughs*

Speed: *wraps arms around Anni* I love you.

Anni: *sigh* I love you too.

Knock on door is heard

Speed: Oh wonderful.

Anni: You'd better get that.

Speed: It's your apartment.

Anni: Just answer it.

Speed: *walks over to door*

Anni: *crosses arms*

Speed: *opens door*

Delko: *smiles*

Speed: *closes door* No.

Delko: *opens door* Hey I had an idea.

Speed: Really.

Delko: *walks in* We should hook up the Hummerhome and head out of here.

Speed: I can't.

Delko: Why not?

Speed: Because someone has to look after Lori.

Delko: Well how long is that going to take?

Speed: Maybe a few weeks until she's recovered enough to live alone.

Delko: Why can't we bring her with us?

Speed: Are you kidding me? Bringing her along on a road trip is like throwing her down another flight of stairs.

Delko: It's not that bad. Hey I won't even run out into a forest in my underwear this time.

Anni: Yeah, please spare us that this time.

Delko: This time? Does that mean we're going?

Speed: Did you ask Horatio?

Delko: He told me to ask you.

Speed: Why?

Delko: Because he said and I quote "Ask someone who cares. I have a meeting with Stetler and some very angry Canadians."

Speed: *lifts brow*

Delko: Yeah I know. I gave him the same look. Canadians are never mad.

Anni: Why is he meeting with them?

Delko: I didn't ask. I ran over here to ask about the Hummerhome.

Speed: You ran here?

Delko: Yeah. I made great time too.

Anni: Why didn't you just take a Hummer?

Delko: I wanted to use my legs.

Anni: But it took twice as long.

Delko: Are we going or not?

Speed: Eric, you and I have to go somewhere first.

Delko: Where?

Speed: We need supplies for the Hummerhome.

Delko: *jumps up and down* THEN can we go?

Speed: Sure.

Anni: Have fun boys.

Speed: Oh I'll be back for you later.

Anni: *smiles* I look forward to it.

Speed: Bye. *kisses Anni*

Delko: Aw, that's so cute.

Speed: *grabs Eric* Let's go.

Delko: Alright, alright.

TBC...............
 
AWWWWWWWWWWW Speed and Anni are so cute, I love how she gets all pissed off and then he decides to say "seaweed" geez Speed, couldn't you say like "nice chair" or something like that? lol. Well anyway, I know that this was a really really short and painful review, but you know what I think about the RT and how great it is so now I'm gonna go get my contacts out so I can read the next update. :D
 
Awww, Anni and Speed are so cute! And Lori is...cute when she's not yelling and sniping at everyone. But I guess she has a point, but hell, they're adults and they can do whatever they want...
Anni: So then just say something.

Speed: ...

Anni: ...

Speed: Seaweed.

Dum Dum Dee Dum

Mall

Delko: OH boy! What are we buying first? Septic tank liquid and deodorizer? Cupboard clips? Carpet cleaner? OH OH! I KNOW!

Speed: *looks at Delko*

Delko: CURTAINS!

Speed: No.

Delko: So what are we buying?

Speed: Come on. *walks away*

Delko: Uh...Watcha doin'?

Speed: I'm shopping.

Delko: You're shopping for Hummerhome supplies in a jewelery store?

Speed: I'm not shopping for the Hummerhome.

Delko: Dude you know how unlucky these places are.

Speed: Nah, lots of witnesses, clean gun, no guards. It's alright come on in.

Delko: *walks in*

Speed: *walks around*

Delko: SPEED!

Speed: Shh this is a jewelery store.

Delko: Oh...Does it have the same rules as a library? Because I really dislike being shushed.

Speed: Why are you yelling at me?

Delko: I found a button on the floor.

Speed: Put it down you don't know where it's been.

Delko: Yes I do. This jewelery store.

Speed: *rolls eyes*

Delko: So why are we here if we're not shopping for the Hummerhome?

Speed: *looking around*

Delko: You want to get shot don't you? Man I told you before, you have to let the bullets COME TO YOU.

Speed: *frowns*

Woman: *walks over* Hello gentlemen, how may I help you?

Speed: I'm looking for a ring.

Woman: *smiles* Well let me just say we accept clients from every gender, race, colour, or sexual orientation.

Speed: ...

Delko: ...

Speed: *looks at Eric*

Delko: *looks at Tim*

Speed: I just need a ring.

Woman: What kind would you prefer?

Speed: Something gold.

Woman: Alright which kind of karats are we looking at?

Delko: *smirks* Something cheap.

Speed: *kicks Delko*

Delko: OW.

Speed: Do you have some samples?

Woman: Of course, let me run to the back and get them. *walks away*

Delko: Samples? This isn't a lab.

Speed: Shut up.

Delko: Yes dear.

Speed: *frowns*

Woman: *walks over* Here we are.

Delko: Whoa, remember when my eyes had cornias?

Speed: *looks at rings* You don't have anything bigger?

Woman: ...

Delko: ...

Speed: Just asking.

Woman: These rings barely graze the price range of half of our clients.

Speed: Well consider me the other half.

Woman: *smiles at Delko* You're a lucky man.

Delko: *wide-eyed*

Speed: It's for my girlfriend.

Woman: Sure it is.

Delko: I'VE SEEN THAT MOVIE! Oh wait, you want to marry her?

Speed: No I just thought this would be fun.

Delko: Oh, my bad.

Woman: Would you like to see something bigger?

Speed: Nah that's alright.

Delko: Yeah he doesn't want to feel like he's compensating for anything.

Speed: *looks at Eric* Do you want to wait in the Hummer?

Delko: No.

Speed: Then shut your yap trap.

Delko: Sorry.

Woman: Is your lady expecting this?

Speed: She actually thinks I'm afraid to commit to anything.

Woman: Well then she'll be surprised.

Speed: I should hope so.

Delko: But then won't you guys just break up after having a billion kids?

Speed: I thought I told you to shut up.

Delko: You said yap trap.

Speed: Exactly.

Delko: ...Oh.

Speed: *picks up ring* Alright how about this one?

Woman: That one is 10 000 dollars. One of our best.

Speed: ...

Delko: I can almost hear the heart attack radiating from his chest.

Speed: I'll take it.

Delko: You will?

Speed: Yeah.

Delko: You don't have that much money.

Speed: I know. Hey Eric you owe me a birthday present.

Delko: Oh no I am not buying that.

Speed: Thought so. *hands over credit card*

Delko: You don't have that much money.

Speed: I don't recall asking for your opinion.

Delko: Yeah but I give it anyway. Makes me the voice of reason when you blow ten grand. She might say no.

Speed: And she might say yes.

Delko: But she might say no.

Speed: What's your point?

Delko: SHE MIGHT SAY NO!

Woman: No refunds.

Speed: Naturally.

Woman: *hands back credit card* Thank you for your business sir.

Speed: Thanks.

Halls of mall

Delko: You are insane. More than insane. You're asylum worthy.

Speed: Eric...

Delko: No, no. She's going to say no. And your heart will be broken and she'll hate you and then you'll be 10 000 in debt. Do you really want that?

Speed: You're so negative.

Delko: I have to be negative when my best friend is acting like an idiot.

Speed: Eric, you don't have to worry about it.

Delko: Yes I do because when she rejects you, you'll have to stay at my house and when you get depressed I get depressed and then no one's happy.

Speed: Don't worry Eric I don't want to live with you.

Delko: She'll say no.

Speed: How do you know that?

Delko: Because it's Anni. I don't think she's ever been asked to be married.

Speed: Obviously.

Delko: Will she know what she's getting into? She'll have to deal with you cheating on her.

Speed: I'm not going to cheat on her.

Delko: That's like Willy Wonka telling the children that he's not making candy anymore.

Speed: Stop looking at the candy store.

Delko: Can't I get some pop rocks?

Speed: No.

Delko: Can I get some for later?

Speed: No.

Delko: Hey if you get to waste your money on gold, can't I waste my money on stomach-rotting children's food?

Speed: It's not a waste of money.

Delko: The ring or the pop rocks?

Speed: The ring.

Delko: She'll say no.

Speed: Why do you keep saying that?

Delko: I'm trying to prevent you from making the biggest mistake of your life.

Speed: Eric, even if she does say no, that's okay. I don't want to pressure her into anything.

Delko: *stops walking*

Speed: What.

Delko: ...Where's Tim Speedle and what did you do with his idiot carcas?

Speed: Eric, I really love her.

Delko: ...You're not going to start crying in the middle of the mall are you? Because I'll run the other way.

Speed: She's just amazing and I want to spend the rest of my life with her.

Delko: But you said that about Katie too.

Speed: That was before she turned into a crazy life-sucking witch.

Delko: Oh. Well then good luck man.

Speed: Thanks.

Delko: So can we get some cupboard clips?

Speed: If you stay away from the candy.

Delko: Deal.

TBC..................
 
AWWW I LOVE SPEED! HE'S SO AWESOME! *cough* Aww, they're gonna get married...maybe...possibly...kinda. But wow, isn't Delko just the voice of optimism...I don't know what he's on about...Jess didn't say no. *shrugs* Men...
Speed: It's for my girlfriend.

Woman: Sure it is.

Delko: I'VE SEEN THAT MOVIE!
Click to expand...
HAHA! HECK YES! EMPIRE RECORDS!...oh man, I was just gonna watch that movie...well, I was...

Oh man, Delko is so random in the face of serious discussion. Pop Rocks, Cupboard clips? Ok, he seriously needs some kind of...something. Ok, I honestly didn't have an end to that sentence.
Speed: She's just amazing and I want to spend the rest of my life with her.

Delko: But you said that about Katie too.

Speed: That was before she turned into a crazy life-sucking witch.
Click to expand...
Uhhh, ok. Ouch Speedy...Just don't let Lori hear you say that or she'll probably whack you in the head with something :p

please update soon
 
:lol: Poor Katie and...Her life-sucking abilities. :D

*hugs Katie*

I...Do?

Anni/Speed's apartment, 1 pm

Delko: *runs in* ANNI!

Anni: *screams*

Delko: Whoa, watcha doin'?

Anni: I'm vaccuming. What are you doing in here?

Delko: We bought curtains.

Speed: *walks in* Yeah they were expensive.

Anni: You guys were gone a long time.

Delko: Well Speed had to hold my bags after I ran into the candy store.

Speed: The last time I did that it was for Calleigh and she made me help her buy a bathing suit.

Anni: Wasn't that before you met us?

Speed: Yeah the day before.

Anni: I still remember that day. *laughs* Katie and I grabbed you by the arm and we were tugging on you.

Speed: Yeah I remember that.

Anni: We were so crazy. Man I miss her.

Speed: Let's not talk about her.

Anni: Why?

Speed: Because we should just let her go. I mean, we haven't seen her in over...Three months?

Anni: Almost, yeah.

Delko: Hey let's not knock her. She's a beautiful woman with a great personality, and she's one of the best CSIs that we've ever known. Right?

Anni: Yeah she's one of my best friends.

Speed: *frowning*

Delko: Come on Speed, you don't hate her.

Speed: Not the time Eric.

Delko: But you don't.

Anni: Why? What's going on?

Delko: He called her a crazy life-sucking witch.

Anni: *looks at Speed*

Speed: It might have been taken slightly out of context.

Anni: Why would you say that about the mother of your children?

Speed: I was having a conversation with Eric.

Anni: So?

Speed: So we're guys.

Anni: *frowns* So?

Speed: It...Was a guy thing.

Anni: *looks at Eric*

Delko: Well...*laughs* Come on.

Anni: So guys get together and bash their ex-wives.

Speed: I wasn't bashing her it was the truth.

Anni: Tim, she's not a life-sucking witch. She is a great person.

Speed: She's not here, it's not like she can hear us.

Anni: I can't believe you'd say that. Out of all people, I thought you'd be the one to defend Katie not insult her.

Speed: Why would I defend her?

Anni: You loved her for so many years. You had a home, children, a life.

Speed: Why are we talking about this?

Anni: Because she was important to you.

Speed: I don't want to talk about her.

Anni: Why?

Speed: Because I don't.

Anni: Give me one good reason.

Speed: Because I don't love her! I love you.

Delko: Uh...I'm going to give you guys some time alone. *leaves*

Anni: That doesn't give you the right to insult her like that.

Speed: I'm sorry, the comment was taken out of line.

Anni: What made you say it?

Speed: She made me miserable for the last two years we were together.

Anni: Do I make you miserable?

Speed: No.

Anni: If I did, would you insult me too?

Speed: No, of course not.

Anni: So why do it to her?

Speed: I don't know. I wasn't thinking.

Anni: You'd better hope that you never see her again. Because I'll tell her what you said.

Speed: Okay.

Anni: What do you want for lunch?

Speed: ....Alright hold on. Did our fight just end?

Anni: We weren't fighting.

Speed: We weren't?

Anni: I don't hold a grudge very long.

Speed: Well that's good to hear.

Anni: But I do have principals, so don't cross the line.

Speed: What principals?

Anni: If you ever cross the line, you'll find out.

Speed: *nods*

Canada prison, 5 pm

Katie: *sitting at table*

Woman: *sits down* You new?

Katie: I've been here a week.

Woman: So you're new. What's your name?

Katie: Katie.

Woman: I'm Sandy.

Katie: Good for you.

Sandy: So what are you in for? *eating food*

Katie: Murder.

Sandy: *laughs* You? You're just a little thing.

Katie: *frowns*

Sandy: Let me guess. You didn't do it.

Katie: I killed him in self-defense. He was my husband.

Sandy: Good for you honey. A few years in this place in exchange for a low-life husband's death is worth it.

Katie: Yeah I guess I got off pretty easy. Five years for murder. Granted the bruises on my arms got me the deal.

Sandy: Well a deal is all you need sometimes.

Katie: Why are you in here?

Sandy: Credit card fraud. I got three years.

Katie: Nice.

Sandy: Yeah well everybody's gotta get caught someday.

Katie: I almost got sent to prison in Cuba.

Sandy: Whew, poor girl. Have you heard what happens over there?

Katie: Yeah. I'm American.

Sandy: Oh you'll be a favorite over here. We love Americans.

Katie: You do?

Sandy: Well...I think they're pretty awesome. I actually haven't asked anyone else.

Katie: *laughs*

Sandy: Which house are you stayin' at?

Katie: Bluenose house.

Sandy: No way. That's where I'm at.

Katie: Really.

Sandy: Oh hun we have a lot to talk about.

Katie: Don't you have other friends?

Sandy: Oh yeah but a lot of them will be out in six months.

Katie: When will you be out?

Sandy: I have a year left. Although one gets attached to places like these. It's been my home for two years so I'll be sad to leave.

Katie: It's a prison.

Sandy: Prisons are like a harness. Some people will break it, some people will stay angrily behind it, and some will miss it once it's taken away.

Katie: *nods*

Sandy: Be glad some of the other girls didn't get to you first.

Katie: Why, you have cliques or something?

Sandy: Something like that.

Katie: And which one are you in?

Sandy: Well let's just say not many people mess with me.

Katie: Good to know.

Sandy: Your tan, you were wearing a ring.

Katie: Yeah.

Sandy: Must have been sunny where you were to get that kind of tanline.

Katie: Actually, that one's from my first husband.

Sandy: Really. You were married before?

Katie: Yeah I even had a couple of kids.

Sandy: Whew you sure had a life. What's with the new husband? Other one didn't work out?

Katie: No.

Sandy: What about your kids?

Katie: My daughter lives in Paris. She wants to be a cop, she has a good education, and she's very independant. I have no doubt that she'll be fine while I'm gone.

Sandy: Well that's good. Good to have smart kids.

Katie: You have any?

Sandy: Nah. I'd rather live my life for me, not for others.

Katie: I wish I felt the same.

Sandy: Maybe a few years in this place, and you'll learn.

Katie: Maybe.
