CSI:Miami Road Trip: Unlucky Number 13

katie really stepped in it now. I wonder how this is going to affect Speed, now that he's off his wagon. From first blush, it looks as if katie should vamoose and stay incognito for a good long while. I've got a question though...if and when Anni finds out, will she go and seek Speed out?"

Just thought I'd ask...lol


Awesome update!
 
Thanks for the reviews. :D

Miami Shores, house, 5 days later

Scott: *crawls under sink, picks up wrench*

Bob: *knocks on counter* Hey, Scotty.

Scott: *slides out* Bob?

Bob: *smiles* How are you?

Scott: *sits up, wipes hands with rag* I'm doing okay. *stands* How are things at the office?

Bob: That's actually what I came here to talk to you about. Do you know a man named Paul Valdez?

Scott: *stares at Bob*

Bob: He came to the office yesterday, says you two met some years ago.

Scott: I've met a lot of people.

Bob: Well, he was looking forward to speaking with you but I told him you were taking a break from the business world. He left me a card to give to you. *places card on counter*

Scott: *looks down at counter*

Bob: Says he has an office for you this time, whatever that means.

Scott: *staring at card*

Bob: Anyway, I need to head to work so I'll see you later.

Scott: Yeah.

Bob: *walks away*

Scott: *picks up card*

Bailey: *runs over* Scotty, you will NOT believe what just happened to me in the parkinglot at Wal-Mart.

Scott: What?

Bailey: A bunch of paparazzi people started taking pictures and asking for comments about you and your recent battle with drugs.

Scott: *frowns* Paparazzi have been asking about me?

Bailey: Yeah, one of them said you were one of Forbes 50 most influential men of Manhattan a few years ago. I told them to go to hell but they followed me all the way h-

Knocking on door is heard

Scott: *looks at door*

Bailey: Uh oh.

Scott: How in the hell did they know you were staying here?

Bailey: I guess it doesn't matter now.

Scott: Call the landlord, I'll be upstairs.

Bailey: *nods, grabs phone*

Gables Estates, house

Lori: *pushing door*

Man: We just want to ask you a few questions about your husband's drug problems.

Lori: NO! Get off my property!

Man: Is it true that he had an affair with an escort last year?

Woman: *pushes microphone through door* Who's the new woman he's living with?

Man: Are you and the kids available for a photo-op?

Lori: GET OUT! I'm calling the police! *slams door, locks it*

Steph: *walks over, rubs eye* Momma, what's going on?

Lori: *walks over to window, shuts drapes* Nothing. Go back to your room and don't come out until I say so.

Steph: *runs upstairs*

Lori: *picks up phone, dials*

Miami Shores, house

Scott: Bailey, give me your keys.

Bailey: What for? This is kind of fun.

Scott: I just got a call from Lori, they're swarming my house. I need your car.

Bailey: To do what? Beat their collective heads into the ground? Won't really make you seem any better.

Scott: I'm not going to touch anyone.

Bailey: *hands over keys* Be careful.

Gables Estates, front gate

Scott: *steps out of car, slams door*

Guy: *looks over*

Scott: *takes off shades* You're supposed to be guarding the entrance to make sure no one gets in who doesn't live here.

Guy: They said they had your permission.

Scott: Why in the hell would I give the paparazzi permission to harrass my wife and children?

Guy: ...I thought you were going through a bitter divorce. Seemed to make sense at the time. I didn't realize they were going to take over the entire place.

Scott: Where's the neighborhood patrol unit?

Guy: Oh no dice, they're on strike. I had to call MDPD.

Hummer speeds through gate, sirens blaring; patrol cars follow

Guy: *smiles* See? There you go.

Scott: *shakes head*

Cul-de-sac

People are seen fighting

Horatio: *turns key, opens Hummer door*

Man1: I called Brad Bozely, you had Finch!

Man2: *grabs Man1 by the collar* Plenty more celebs around here, go find someone else!

Woman: *slams fist into Woman2's face*

Woman2: *throws camera at Man3*

Tom: *walks around patrol car, grabs rifle from trunk*

Horatio: Ladies and gentlemen! Stop what you're doing and look this way please!

People look over

Tom: *steps beside Horatio*

Horatio: None of you are authorized to be on these premises. You have 5 minutes to remove yourselves from the area or you're going to jail.

Man: We were let in.

Horatio: That was a mistake.

Man: We're just after the truth, we have a right to it. There are celebrities all over this neighborhood, it's their fault they put themselves in the public eye.

Horatio: It's time to leave. Let's go.

Tom: This rifle's going through the bushes so unless anyone wants a bean bag up their ass, I suggest they crawl the hell out!

People start climbing out of trees and bushes

Horatio: *walks away*

Tom: I love this job.

TBC............................
 
Woo hoo ! Uncle H. & Tom save the day! Now who tipped the press off about Scott! I wonder if Lori Knew Baily was living with Scott yet! I'm sure shes not to happy about all this press hang around and puttin cameras in her face! Ah Just shoot them Tom everything will be ok! Lol!

Ok we need to find out if Katie has survived and if Speed has sobered up yet! Film at 11pm! lol!
 
Tom: I love this job.
Click to expand...

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I love Tom more and more with each update. I swear. He kicks major butt. :D I'm glad he's trying to help out Katie... that's so sweet of him. :)

Bailey's back! Yay! Although, I get the feeling this won't be a good thing... who knows?

I hope Scott and Lori can work things out.

Katie needs to stop trying to screw with people. And people need to stop dosing Speed. :lol:

Awesome updates! :D
 
Tom's...AWESOME! That's about all I can say right now without going to into a diatribe about how great he really is. He simply....rocks. Enough said.

Now...about this paparazzi nonesense... Wtf? How did this start? Where is it coming from? How awesome is Scott that he has access still to the armed guard? I'm curious to find out where this is coming from and how Scotty's going to deal with it...


Awesome update!
 
Thanks for the reviews. :D

Miami lab, ballistics, 3pm

Anni: *takes gun apart*

Tom: *walks over* Hey. You get that crap out of my gun yet?

Anni: Sorry, I got jammed up with a triple homicide. It's on the back counter. What did you get in there, anyway?

Tom: *walks over to counter* Ah it fell out of my holster when I was responding to a traffic accident and it got covered in wiper fluid and kitty litter.

Anni: The cleaning stuff's over here, you may help yourself.

Tom: *picks up gun, steps up to table*

Anni: How'd the paparazzi fest go?

Tom: It was almost a riot.

Anni: Wow.

Tom: Yeah, they even broke two of Lori's windows so they could get a picture of Steph.

Anni: *looks at Tom* Are they okay?

Tom: Lori's pissed, no surprise there. Steph's fine. I think I heard one of them say on the way back to the station that they were trying to prove that Steph belonged to the escort Scott allegedly slept with.

Anni: *lifts brow* Interesting story.

Tom: I confiscated the cameras and film. I mean, it's not like Steph was on the street playing, she was in her bedroom and they climbed a tree to get the photos.

Anni: That's sick.

Tom: And quite the fishing expedition. I was there right after Steph was born, believe me, she's Lori's.

Anni: *nods, fiddles with gun*

Tom: *picks up rag* Why now? Scott's been in the public eye for the last 6 years, give or take. I've never seen a paparazzi crowd so interested in some former CEO.

Anni: *smirks* He wasn't just 'some CEO'. He owns the top investment company in the world, one that's American. And there's a cheque in the hands of many foundations with his name on it. Not to mention he's something of a hero in the eyes of a lot of people.

Tom: You're saying he's a symbol of American power and freedom.

Anni: *shrugs*

Tom: *laughs* Come on, that's ridiculous. This is Scotty we're talking about.

Anni: I'm not saying I necessarily believe it. But people love to watch golden idols crash and burn, especially now with all the allegations and rumors.

Tom: *shakes head* He's not an idol, he's not a hero, he's just a guy. A good guy who made a mistake, I mean haven't we all? This celebrity gossip bullshit is designed to make all those losers who don't have a life feel better about themselves.

Anni: Maybe so but it sells a lot of magazines and makes money.

Tom: *nods*

Anni: *picks up screwdriver*

Tom: Alright. Scott, I guess I get. But Steph? Lori? Why should they have any part of it?

Anni: Part of the shark's diet, I suppose.

Tom: Ugh. Remind me never to become famous.

Anni: If anyone's going to be famous, it's me.

Tom: *looks at Anni*

Anni: *smiles*

Tom: Of course. What was I thinking? *leans over, kisses Anni's cheek*

Anni: *smiling*

Tom: *walks away*

Miami Shores, house, bedroom

Bailey: *knocks on door, steps in* Scotty?

Scott: Mister Finch is currently not available.

Bailey: *shuts door* Thought you could use some lunch so I picked up some sandwiches.

Scott: *uncovers eyes, lifts head*

Bailey: Turkey club.

Scott: *sits up*

Bailey: *walks over, sits*

Scott: *takes sandwich*

Bailey: I don't care what all those people say about you. They can go to hell.

Scott: *nods*

Bailey: Hey, you want to go hang out outside? I need to get my tan back. *stands*

Scott: Sure.

Backyard, pool

Bailey: *sits on chair*

Scott: Mind if I go for a swim? Wouldn't hurt to blow off some steam.

Bailey: *smiles* Be my guest.

Scott: *pulls off shirt*

Bailey: *drops sandwich*

Scott: *walks around pool*

Bailey: *lies back in chair* I think I'm going to like it here.

TBC..........................
 
Uh Oh! See I told you they are gonna have to watch Baily! You know this is note the first time she had a certain thing for Scott. Lori better keep an eye on that situation before it get out of hand.!


Great update Geni!
 
LOL...I can just see this now...Bailey is definitely gunning for Scotty. Hey...Lori's got something on the side, if it makes Scotty feel better, let him have fun! Of course, I wouldn't dare say this split is permanent, I'm just saying...Let him loosen up some.

LOL@ Tom and Anni...they have such a great relationship:D



Awesome update!
 
:lol: Oh, Bailey. You crack me up. But Scotty should still be with Lori. :p

Tom and Anni are so great together. I love it!

Great update! :)
 
Thanks for the reviews! :D

Condo, bedroom, 11pm

Katie: *crawls into bed*

Speed: *stares at wall*

Katie: ...You awake?

Speed: Yes.

Katie: *smiles* You're talking to me again.

Speed: *staring at wall*

Katie: Tim...come on, look at me.

Speed: *sits up*

Katie: I really am sorry. I feel terrible about what happened.

Speed: *nods*

Katie: What can I do to make it up to you?

Speed: Nothing, Katie.

Katie: Alright, I get it. You want me to move out.

Speed: No, I want you to stop doing stupid things and grow up.

Katie: But you used to love my antics.

Speed: We're both too old for that crap and you know it.

Katie: *nods*

Speed: *turns out light, lies down*

Katie: ...So we're not breaking up?

Speed: I thought you were seeing other people.

Katie: *blinks* No.

Speed: Then why were you going after Carter?

Katie: Because I'm an idiot.

Speed: *sits up* We should go on a date.

Katie: *lifts brow* Um...not sure if you remember but we did that before.

Speed: No, I mean to freshen things up. It'll be like we just met.

Katie: Except we didn't.

Speed: Alright, look at it this way. You fell in love with the jackass Speed from years ago. It's only fair that you should give the new Speed a chance.

Katie: *nods slowly*

Speed: Maybe we can...start over.

Katie: *smiles* It's worth a shot.

Speed: *nods*

Katie: You're paying. *lies down*

Speed: Of course.

Miami Shores, house, bedroom midnight

Scott: *staring at laptop*

Bailey: *steps in* Is that you typing like you're being chased?

Scott: I'm just catching up on some e-mails.

Bailey: From who? Your dealer?

Scott: *lifts eyes* Clients.

Bailey: Oh. I thought you weren't working.

Scott: I'm not.

Bailey: *sits on bed* Go to sleep.

Scott: I'm almost finished.

Bailey: Why can't you be a normal guy and surf for porn?

Scott: Maybe you got here too late.

Bailey: *laughs*

Scott: *smiles, closes laptop* Alright, get off my bed and sleep in your own.

Bailey: *smiling* What if I want to stay?

Scott: *stands, walks over* Then I guess we got a problem. *sits on bed* You know me, Bailey.

Bailey: You might be holding onto something you'll never get back.

Scott: I'm going to get Lori back.

Bailey: What if you can't? This could get obsessive, Scott.

Scott: *shakes head*

Bailey: *sits up, wraps arms around Scott's waist* Lori's spent your entire relationship pushing you away. You really think that if you didn't have kids, she'd have lasted this long with you?

Scott: When we're happy, we're...amazing together. There's a lot of love.

Bailey: Look, I know I was pulling for you both but-

Scott: I can't let her go.

Bailey: *kisses Scott's neck* Maybe it's time you did.

Scott: You need to leave.

Bailey: *nibbles Scott's ear*

Scott: *stands* Not interested, Bailey.

Bailey: You're just prolonging the inevitable.

Scott: Which is what?

Bailey: Loneliness.

Scott: *stares at Bailey*

Bailey: Why do you think I'm here? I filled the void with a bottle for so many years.

Scott: *lowers head*

Bailey: *stands, steps closer* There's got to be a reason we're both here. Together.

Scott: To get our lives back, nothing more.

Bailey: *sigh* Don't you think you could have a different life? A new slate.

Scott: With my family, yes.

Bailey: I feel like I'm talking to a wall. Goodnight, Scott. *walks away*

Scott: *nods*

TBC...............................
 
Well...that was extremely futile. Bailey gave it the old college try, but it seems as if Scotty's made his mind up- he's going to get his family back no matter what. I adore a man with drive and Scotty has that drive. Awesome.

Equally awesome- Katie and Speed getting back to the basics. I think it's cool that they are starting from the beginning, just as long as they leave out the childish pranks, the domestic violence, and the alcohol...they should be A-ok. ;) I wonder how long katie can act "grown"? Remains to be seen- or has she truly turned over a new leaf? Hmmmm...interesting :guffaw:

Awesome update!
 
Scotty's sticking to his guns... that's good. I'm glad he's not going for Bailey's advances.

I hope Speed and Katie can work things out with each other, too.

Great update! :D
 
Thanks so much for the reviews! :)

Miami-Dade Elementary, 3:58pm, 5 days later

Scott: *leans against counter*

Secretary: *lifts head* May I help you?

Scott: *smiles* Good afternoon, I'm Stephanie Finch's father. I'm here to pick her up.

Secretary: *gasp* You're the guy they were talking about on MSNBC this morning!

Scott: Um...I'm not sure that's accurate.

Secretary: You're the CEO guy who slept with an escort and had her put in jail to keep her quiet. Yeah yeah, you're addicted to crystal meth and heroin. It was a segment on how filthy rich executives exploit the system and use their influence on American citizens to propagate their own immoral behaviour.

Scott: May I see my daughter now?

Secretary: Oh she's such a sweet child, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Scott: *looks down at watch* Your expeditiousness in the matter would be appreciated.

Secretary: Right. *picks up phone, dials*

Scott: Thank you.

5 minutes later

Steph: *walks in, adjusts backpack*

Scott: *turns around*

Steph: *smiles* Daddy! *runs over, hugs Scott*

Scott: *smiles* Ready to go home?

Steph: Yup.

Scott: Great. *grabs Steph's hand* The car's out front.

Gables Estates, house

Steph: *runs in, drops backpack onto floor*

Scott: *picks up backpack*

Lori: *walks downstairs* Oh good, just the man I wanted to see.

Scott: *smiles*

Lori: The hot tub's acting up again, I think something's wrong with the jets.

Scott: *smile fades* The hot tub.

Lori: Yeah, in the bedroom. Could you take a look?

Scott: *nods* Sure. *walks away*

Lori: *turns around*

Master bathroom

Scott: *shines flashlight underneath tub*

Lori: *leans against door frame* Find out what the problem is?

Scott: Yeah, it looks like the air pump in the back has separated from the connector. I just need the tool box and it'll be as good as new.

Lori: Perfect, just the thing I brought you. *slams tool box onto floor*

Scott: *opens box, grabs tools* It's a little weird for this thing to become separated.

Lori: Must be wear and tear.

Scott: *looks at Lori* It's 3 years old.

Lori: I use it a lot.

Scott: *looks back at tub, reaches under*

Lori: Maybe it's not meant for two people.

Scott: Uh...no, it's not.

Lori: Right.

Scott: *crawls out* Finished.

Lori: That's it?

Scott: Should be. *turns on tub*

Jets roar

Lori: *smiles* I love that sound.

Scott: *grabs towel, wipes hands*

Lori: HEY. *yanks towel away* Those are clean.

Scott: *looks down at towel* ...Yeah, that's why I was using it.

Lori: Your hands are dirty, Finch. Go wipe them at home.

Scott: You're welcome.

Lori: *turns around* Great, now I have another load of laundry to do. *walks away*

Scott: *stares at door*

Living room

Dominick: *jumping on couch*

Lori: *walks past* Stop it or you'll break your head open.

Dominick: *frowns, sits on couch*

Scott: *walks over, sits*

Dominick: I hate Mommy.

Scott: No you don't.

Dominick: *crosses arms* I do today.

Scott: *smirks* Why's that?

Dominick: She's being mean.

Scott: *nods* She's mean out of love.

Dominick: *looks at Scott*

Scott: You'll understand someday.

Lori: *walks over* Your car's getting oil all over my driveway. Park it on the street.

Scott: I apologize.

Lori: Why are you still here? I'm having people over tonight.

Scott: *lifts brows* People? What people?

Lori: Some of Riley's clients. She's having a party and wanted to use the house so get out before someone sees you and thinks you're dealing dope.

Scott: I never actually dealt an-

Lori: You know what, between that and the other garbage the media has been spreading around, I'd rather not have to defend you all night. So just do me a favour and leave.

Scott: *stares at Lori*

Lori: What are you waiting for? People are going to be here in an hour.

Scott: Maybe the kids and I could hang out in the guest house f-

Lori: No. The kids are going to my parents' house.

Scott: I could watch them, Lori.

Lori: Plans were already made 3 days ago.

Scott: What if I drove them to your parents' place? It would save you a lot of time.

Lori: Fine, just go. *walks away*

Scott: *stands* Lori.

Lori: *stops, looks back*

Scott: *walks over* ...Do you believe all that stuff? From the magazines and television.

Lori: *stares at Scott* The only thing I know for sure...is that you gave up.

Scott: *nods*

Lori: *walks away*

Scott: *sigh*

Inside car, road

Steph: Daddy, how come we can't stay with you for the night?

Scott: Plans were already made.

Steph: But I wanna stay with you.

Scott: Maybe next time.

Steph: *looks back at Dominick*

Dominick: *frowns*

Steph: Daddy, we don't wanna go.

Scott: That's not up for negotiation.

Steph: *leans back in seat* Can you stay then? With us at Grama and Grampa's house.

Scott: I might be able to visit for a little while, sure.

Steph: Good.

Dominick: Kick Grama out.

Scott: Oh Dominick. Stop that.

Dominick: She's a bitch.

Steph: *looks back* DOM! Momma said to stop saying that word.

Dominick: Bitch bitch bitch.

Steph: *frowns* DADDY! Dom's got a potty mouth!

Scott: I hear that.

Dominick: *cackles*

Scott: *looks into rearview mirror* You want to eat soap for dinner?

Dominick: *blinks*

Scott: *looks out window* Didn't think so.

Steph: *wags finger* You're a naughty boy, Dommy.

Dominick: *sticks out tongue*

TBC............................
 
(claps hands and does the Mama clump!) Speed and Katie, Speed and Katie ! Lol! I love that Speed still loves her even after all shes done to him! lol! I hope she grows up and acts her age, because i really think they need some stability after all these years.

Well i guess Bailey will just have to come up with a new plain to get Scott. If she thought it was gonna be that easy, she needs to think again.

Great update Geni
 
Poor Scott, he's really going through the ringer right now, but I can see, he's trying to hold on to the hope that things will work out. Lori on the other hand...not so much. I mean, really...she's being a bit...um...BITCHY. I can understan, FULLY that she should be angry, but shouldn't she be trying to find out the truth? Or is this a way to distance herself more from him? *Sigh* the complexities of relationships:guffaw:

And DOM! He's certainly a character :D
