:lol: I'm glad you woke up
CSI_me, it's good to be awake every once and a while at school.
LtKitty, isn't this thing like a drug? I could spend all day on it.
Forgive Me, For All The Times I Fell In Shame
[Layout room]
Horatio: *walks in* Okay are you processing the jumsuit?
Calleigh: I just got started.
Horatio: Let me know if you find anything.
Calleigh: Um..Horatio?
Horatio: *turns around* Yes?
Calleigh: Where's Tim?
Horatio: I sent him home.
Calleigh: But there might be trace on this jumpsuit.
Horatio: Call Missy and have her do it.
Calleigh: Why did he go home?
Horatio: He's suspended until further notice.
Calleigh: *sits up* You think he's doing drugs again.
Horatio: To my knowledge he hasn't recalled doing the drugs, only having Eric buy them so I'm not sure that's exactly the case.
Calleigh: So he's not on drugs?
Horatio: I'm also not sure that's the case.
Calleigh: So...He's not on drugs, but because of his behavior he's on drugs...But he's not on drugs.
Horatio: I'm not a doctor.
Calleigh: It shows.
Horatio: I want to know what meals he ate in the last week, and who he came in contact with directly.
Calleigh: You want me to do that?
Horatio: If you wouldn't mind taking on another case.
Calleigh: Hey I'm always up for a challenge. *smiles*
Horatio: *smirks* Excellent.
Calleigh: So you're not going to tell me what I'm looking for.
Horatio: That would spoil all the fun. Start in the Hummerhome and work your way to the Trace lab.
Calleigh: I'll get right on it...What about the jumpsuit?
Horatio: I'll process it.
Calleigh: Y-you? Uh....*laughs* I don't th-
Horatio: *places on latex gloves* I used to be able to do this you know.
Calleigh: Are you sure you remember how?
Horatio: Calleigh, get to work in the Hummerhome.
Calleigh: Alright but if you need help, I'm a phone call away. *leaves*
Horatio: I don't need help. I'm Horatio Caine.
[Hummerhome]
Calleigh: *walks in, kit in hand* Okay who wants to help me?
Katie: Help you do what?
Calleigh: Have you noticed a change in Tim's demeanor in the last few days?
Katie: Uh...Well he's always been sort of a loose cannon.
Calleigh: Humor me.
Katie: He seemed kind of sick, I don't know.
Calleigh: Alright I need you to look for anything that would make him sick.
Katie: Like what?
Calleigh: Anything. Just look around.
Katie: Shouldn't we call...A doctor or something?
Calleigh: Nonsense. We can do it.
Katie: Um...Okay. *looks around*
Calleigh: Your lipstick isn't led-based is it?
Katie: I don't wear lipstick.
Calleigh: Darn.
Katie: Hey check it out.
Calleigh: A pen...Okay so it's a pen?
Katie: It's a broken pen.
Calleigh: Yeah Eric scratched him with it.
Katie: So you don't think a broken pen would have anything to do with it?
Calleigh: Why?
Katie: It gives off beta radiation.
Calleigh: He wasn't exposed enough t...Oh my God.
Katie: What?
Calleigh: We had a case a while back where Iodine-131 contaminated the lab. We had to lock away all the evidence. Eric injested some radiation but not enough to cause any serious harm.
Katie: ...So?
Calleigh: So that case ended around 4 years ago.
Katie: So?
Calleigh: Chronic radiation poisoning could cause the symptoms we're seeing.
Katie: What symptoms?
Calleigh: Of course the lab has already been cleared.
Katie: So it's not Iodine?
Calleigh: Unless you can think of a better answer.
Katie: Great, he's not on speed is he?
Calleigh: Horatio doesn't think so.
Katie: He's not a doctor.
Calleigh: That's what I told him.
Katie: Where's Tim?
Calleigh: At home. He was suspended.
Katie: Why don't we just ask him if he's been taking drugs?
Calleigh: He's been pretty defensive.
Katie: He hasn't been like that for a long time.
Calleigh: Horatio doesn't think it's drugs.
Katie: Horatio doesn't think a lot of things.
Calleigh: That doesn't make sense.
Katie: I know. I'm going home, but I'll be back.
Calleigh: Keep me posted.
[Speed/Katie's house]
Katie: *opens door* Tim? Are you here?
Speed: Yeah. *walks over*
Katie: Are you on drugs?
Speed: Wow you don't waste time.
Katie: Just answer the question.
Speed: No, I'm not on drugs.
Katie: Then why did Horatio suspend you?
Speed: He's crazy and he's getting a little senile in his old age.
Katie: Tell me the truth.
Speed: I am telling you the truth.
Katie: Roll up your sleeves.
Speed: *rolls up sleeves* See?
Katie: Lift up your shirt.
Speed: If you wanted me to take off my clothes, you could have just asked earlier.
Katie: What is the matter with you?
Speed: Nothing.
Katie: And...You....Can roll the sleeves back down.
Speed: Why?
Katie: It's distracting.
Speed: Are you finished interrogating me now?
Katie: Alright, are you on drugs?
Speed: That doesn't sound like being finished.
Katie: Are you?
Speed: No.
Katie: Then why are you acting all weird?
Speed: *walks closer* You know...You're kind of cute when you get all cop on everyone.
Katie: *backs up into wall* Is that so?
Speed: *smirks*
Katie: Uh...haha....*moves away* Tim, that's not going to make this go away.
Speed: *sigh* That's too bad.
Katie: You're not going to like...Beat me up and then rape me are you?
Speed: I'm not a violent man.
Katie: ...I'm not sure where you were going with that.
Speed: You think something's wrong with me?
Katie: Yeah I do.
Speed: *smiles*
Katie: Uh...Okay this is kind of...Scary. You're not going to hit me or anything?
Speed: Why would I hit you? I
love you. *walks closer*
Katie: OH MY GOD! *runs to other side of the room* Okay, I think this distance should cover it. I'll stay on my side of the house and you can stay on yours. Better yet, I'll just run awy and you can stay right there.
Speed: *tilts head* I've always loved hide and seek.
Katie: Uh...You're not going to grab an axe and come after me are you?
Speed: Will you get over it? I'm not homocidle. *sits on couch*
Katie: ...*lifts brow* I don't get it.
Speed: You're fun to tease.
Katie: Uh..NOT FUNNY. I thought you were going to come after me in this passive sexy way.
Speed: ....Yeah I don't think that would ever happen.
Katie: But you just did that.
Speed: I was teasing you.
Katie: ...You have a weird way of teasing people. *cell phone rings* Hold up. *opens phone* Yeah?
Calleigh: Okay I think I found out what's making him weird.
Katie: Alright what is it?
Calleigh: He's...Depressed.
Katie: Uh...Yeah okay that doesn't really explain anything.
Calleigh: Well actually I found some meth under the sink in the men's washroom.
Katie: He's not on meth.
Calleigh: Well this time he has pills.
Katie: Oooh smart man...Okay thanks. *closes phone* LIAR.
Speed: What?
Katie: You've been chowing down speed.
Speed: Uh...No I haven't.
Katie: Yes you have. Calleigh found the pills in the men's washroom.
Speed: No, I swear I'm not taking anything.
Katie: How do I know you're telling the truth?
Speed: Because I am.
Katie: Are you sure?
Speed: I'm telling you, I didn't take anything.
Katie: Maybe you were dosed.
Speed: Yeah I doubt it.
Katie: Why?
Speed: Because I sort of um...Sort of lied.
Katie: You just swore up and down that you didn't take anything.
Speed: It was the meth talking.
Katie: Okay this isn't funny.
Speed: It's not like I wanted to take it.
Katie: So the bottle just unscrewed itself and the pills just jumped into your mouth?
Speed: Wow that would be amazing.
Katie: *claps* SNAP BACK TO REALITY.
Speed: Oh sorry. Actually, Eric was the one who offered me the pills.
Katie: What?
Speed: I didn't know what they were.
Katie: Do you always take candy from strangers?
Speed: He's not a stranger. He said it would 'take the edge off'.
Katie: ARE YOU STUPID?!
Speed: Yeah it was stupid.
Katie: You're so confusing.
Speed: Oh don't worry, when I come off the drugs I'll be less confusing.
Katie: Where's Eric?
Speed: The men's wear store.
Katie: *dials*
Delko: *opens phone* Yeah?
Katie: YOU GAVE MY HUSBAND SPEED?
Delko: ...A lot of that didn't make sense.
Katie: YOU GAVE MY HUSBAND DRUGS?!
Delko: I thought it was Advil.
Katie: ERIC! IT WAS METH!
Delko: Oh...My bad.
Katie: I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!
Delko: It's not my fault he took them...After I threw one in his mouth and he choked on it.
Katie: YOU THREW DRUGS DOWN MY HUSBAND'S THROAT?!
Delko: It's not my fault he swallowed.
Katie: YOU GAVE HIM METH!
Delko: So?
Katie: Eric you're such a screwup. *drops phone* Okay honey how do you feel? *sits on couch*
Speed: ...Why are you calling me honey?
Katie: Because Eric gave you drugs. Poor baby. *strokes Speed's hair* You poor poor baby.
Speed: Uh...Are you sure you're not the one on drugs?
Katie: We're going to get you all better okay sweetheart?
Speed: ...Can you stop that?
Katie: I am so sorry Eric did this to you. Now you're going to go back to being addicted and dying and..And..*starts to cry*
Speed: It was one pill Katie.
Katie: *stops crying* ...So?
Speed: So they're basically diet pills.
Katie: You mean you're not addicted?
Speed: We'll see.
Katie: *frowns*
Speed: Remind me to kill Eric.
Katie: I'll write it on a sticky note and put it on the fridge.
