No this thread cannot be almost over. *sigh* I have a feeling this Road Trip thing won't end until I get run over by a milk truck. And that will never happen because in my city we don't have milk trucks.
A Chance I'll Take Even If I Break
[Hummerhome 11 am]
Delko: *pulling Carly* I think she's stuck.
Katie: No kidding. Hey Carly can we just cut your hair?
Carly: I DON'T THINK SO.
Katie: Well you're stuck to the carpet.
JC: Who puts carpet in a kitchen?
Horatio: Eric was the one who renovated this place.
Delko: I put in stairs, not carpet.
Carly: OW! OW! You're tugging on my hair!
Delko: Oh, whoops.
Carly: Okay who's standing on my hand?
Delko: ...That would be me. Sorry.
Carly: Just step away Eric.
Delko: Okay. *backs up* AH! *falls*
Carly: That was my foot.
Delko: Sorry.
Katie: Why don't we...Pour hot water on it and then hope it melts.
Carly: I don't want melted jam in my hair.
JC: Then you shouldn't have laid on the floor honey.
Carly: *sigh*
[Hospital 11:04 am]
Speed: *sits in chair* What are you doing?
Lori: Coloring.
Speed: What are you coloring?
Lori: *giggles* The paper. You're so silly.
Speed: *looks around* Do you have any friends here?
Lori: Friends?
Speed: Yeah. People that you can talk to or just be with.
Lori: *looks up* Do you have friends?
Speed: A few, yeah.
Lori: Why aren't they here?
Speed: They don't need to be here.
Lori: If they're friends they should be here with you.
Speed: Unfortunately they're gone.
Lori: Like my brother.
Speed: Well, they'll come back. Just not for a while.
Lori: Oh. *smiles* Do you want to see my picture?
Speed: Sure.
Lori: *holds up paper*
Speed: It's Earth.
Lori: *grinning*
Speed: It's very good.
Lori: Thank you.
Speed: So you just do this all day?
Lori: Sometimes I go outside.
Speed: They let people outside?
Lori: *laughs* It's not a prison silly.
Speed: It feels like one.
Lori: Why? We haven't done anything wrong.
Speed: I know.
Lori: Have you ever done anything bad?
Speed: Yeah.
Lori: What did you do?
Speed: ...I hurt someone.
Lori: How?
Speed: Uh...Well it's not really important how. But it's the reason I'm here.
Lori: *coloring* You don't look like you'd hurt anyone. Your voice is too soft. Like the kind angels have.
Speed: Uh...How would you even know what one sounded like?
Lori: I can hear them.
Speed: ...You can?
Lori: Mhm.
Speed: Are they talking to you right now?
Lori: Actually they're talking to you.
Speed: *lifts brow* What are they saying?
Lori: They won't tell me. That's between you and them.
Speed: Really.
Lori: Sometimes its really hard to hear them but when I listen really carefully they tell me things.
Speed: What do they tell you?
Lori: They told me about you.
Speed: Did they.
Lori: Yup.
Speed: What did they tell you about me?
Lori: *giggles* It's a secret.
Speed: Fair enough.
