Well I think it's time for an update, since we've reached the 900 post mark, making this update the 901th post.
Three Dimensions
[House 7 am]
Mom: *sets plates on tables* I hope you're all hungry! *squeals*
Speed: ...Did you just squeal?
Mom: I haven't made pancakes in YEARS! Okay we have twenty different kinds of syrup. Who wants to try it?
Delko: *raises hand* I'll try it all.
Katie: Hey Eric, what happened last night after you got chased outside.
Delko: I hid in a tree until 4 am, and then when Speed's brother left for work I came down.
Speed: Is that why there are twigs in your hair?
Delko: *frowns, chews*
Mom: How did y'all sleep last night?
Anni: Really well.
Carly: Excellent..ly. I'm not sure that's a word but who cares.
Calleigh: MMmmmm banana pancakes. *eats*
Katie: Hey I didn't know your mom is southern.
Speed: *frowns* Eat your food.
Katie: So THAT'S why you sound southern when you're drunk.
Speed: Why are you the only one not stuffing your face?
Katie: Fine, I'm eating.
Mom: Now Timmy be nice to your wife.
Katie: Yeah
Timmy.
Speed: *sigh* Do you know where dad went?
Mom: He said something about having a meeting this morning on 5th avenue. There's supposed to be a lot of cops there. Even the chief of police. Isn't that exciting?
Speed: *looks at Horatio*
Horatio: *puts down fork* Did he say what the meeting was about?
Mom: He left before I could ask. Why is there something wrong?
Horatio: No, not at all.
Mom: Oh good. I'll go get the orange juice.
Katie: Does someone want to tell us what's going on?
Speed: When you put mob guys and cops in the same place, it doesn't work out so well for the cops.
Katie: Oh cool, so it's like an assassination to send a message.
Speed: It's not 'cool'.
Horatio: Wait a second, turn up the tv.
Anni: *turns up tv*
Horatio: ...Uh oh.
Speed: Well we sure predicted that one.
Horatio: *stands up*
Speed: *stands*
Mom: Where are you two going?
Speed: We gotta go.
Horatio: Great breakfast, thank you.
Delko: Come on Cal.
Calleigh: I'm going.
[CSIs leave]
Katie: ....How come we never get the political cases?
JC: In time honey.
[5th avenue restaurant]
Horatio: Okay guys, stay here for a minute.
Speed: I'm coming with you.
Horatio: Okay but the rest of you stay put.
Calleigh: No problem.
Delko: OH HOT DOGS! *runs off*
Horatio: *walks under crime scene tape*
Speed: It's a massacre.
Horatio: Truer words were never spoken.
Voice: Horatio Caine.
Horatio: *smiles* Hmm Mac Taylor.
Mac: Long time no see. What are you doing in New York?
Horatio: We're just visiting.
Mac: Everytime you visit something like this happens.
Horatio: Maybe it's just a coincidence.
Mac: Who's this?
Horatio: Tim Speedle. He's one of my CSIs.
Mac: Speedle? As in Gregory Speedle, the mob boss?
Horatio: Now you know why we're here.
Mac: What does this have to do with Florida?
Horatio: The drug cartels from New York are *takes off shades* ...Making their way to Florida, can you tell me who this is?
Mac: Cheif of police. Witnesses say he took the first bullet.
Horatio: Well we know how reliable witnesses can be.
Mac: Exactly. Which is why I want to get this crime scene processed quickly before mob wars start.
Horatio: Don't you love politics?
Mac: Compared to this, I love IAB more.
Horatio: *smiles*
Speed: I'll grab Calleigh and Eric. *leaves*
Horatio: Thank you Speed.
Danny: Hey Mac, IAB's hangin' around and they're not happy.
Mac: When are they ever happy?
Danny: Yeah no kiddin'.
Mac: You remember Lieutenant Caine.
Danny: Yeah sure. Welcome back.
Horatio: Thank you.
Danny: I see you brough more man power.
Horatio: Whatever helps.
Speed: *walks up* Calleigh's going to have a field day with this.
Danny: Calleigh?
Speed: She's our ballistics expert.
Danny: Oh hey I spoke to you on the phone right?
Speed: Yeah.
Danny: Well it's good to meet you in person.
Speed: Likewise.
Horatio: Alright Speed grab everyone and we'll gear up.
Speed: Sure.
Mac: We're going to have to stop meeting like this.
Horatio: Miami's going to have to stop being the sixth borrough for that to happen.
Mac: Don't I know it. I'm going to see if Flack can give us a headstart on our victims. I want to know who they are and why they were here.
Horatio: Well I can tell you right know who isn't here. Our mob boss.
Mac: So he probably ordered the hit. The question is what message is he sending?
Horatio: Why don't we find him and ask him? *walks away*
Lindsay: Hey Mac I heard about the scene. I figured you could use some extra eyes.
Mac: I appreciate it.
Lindsay: Danny said something about Miami CSIs being here?
Mac: They're helping out on this one.
Lindsay: What do you need me to do?
Mac: You're going to work with Miami's ballistic expert and find out which shots happened when, and which victims were hit first.
Lindsay: I'm on it. *walks away*
[Near a table]
Danny: So Mister Trace expert, What do you gotta say about that?
Speed: *looks down* Looks like glue.
Danny: Stuck to the table in a restaurant?
Speed: Maybe one of our mob guys left it behind.
Danny: Passive transfer.
Speed: It could lead us to a location.
Danny: I'll collect it.
Speed: Well you
are the Trace guy right?
Danny: I like to think I know a little bit about everything, but yeah I happen to have a specialty in Trace evidence.
[Across the room]
Calleigh: *pulls bullet out of wall* .38 caliber.
Lindsay: Bullets must have been flying around here. There's some in the walls, tables, floors, celing...Talk about a trigger finger.
Calleigh: Well when the shooting starts, everyone wants a piece.
Lindsay: How about this piece? *holds up gun*
Calleigh: .22 automatic. *smiles* Nice find.
Lindsay: *smiles*
[Middle of restaurant]
Horatio: What's our body count Eric?
Delko: 15 so far.
Horatio: So far?
Flack: *looks down at notes* Witnesses saw two guys running out the back through the kitchen. One of them looked like he was bleeding.
Horatio: That would account for the blood drops leading out through the kitchen.
Flack: I'll send a few uniforms out to canvas the area. *leaves*
Delko: Well this is a lot of dead cops.
Horatio: It's New York. The city never stays quiet for very long.
