Has Tom completely lost his mind? :lol:
Hopefully, Lori and Tom can resolve this with as little carnage as possible...
Great update!

Guy4: *wide-eyed, struggles*
Lori: *slams his head into bleachers*
Guy4: *falls over*
Lori: *whispers* Get up, hurry.
People run into changing rooms
Lori: *looks around*
Tom: *runs over* I took out 3.
Lori: I got 2. Wait, what? How did you get 3?
Tom: I'm fast.
Lori: *frowns*
Tom: Couple more. I'm guessing they're with the kids. Where are they?
Lori: I don't know.
Tom: What do you mean you don't know?
Lori: I was locked in an equipment locker.
Tom: Well the gym's locked so they couldn't have gone far. *looks around* What about the gym teacher's office?
Door opens
Lori: Get down. *crawls under bleachers, yanks Tom*
Tom: *falls over*
Lori: *whispers* That's the one. I was just about to finish kicking his ass before his partner threw me into the room. I'm going to kill him.
Tom: Or, we can get the kids.
Lori: *looks at Tom* ...Right.
Tom: We have a couple guys left so it should be an even match. They haven't noticed their incapacitated buddies and I haven't heard any gunshots so we're good so far.
Lori: *nods*
Tom: Okay, we'll storm the room in 3.
Lori: I'm ready.
Outside school
Horatio: *looks at watch*
Scott: What the hell's going on in there? I thought he was just supposed to get in and get out.
Horatio: Evidently Detective Grey took it upon himself to do all the work.
Scott: Is he qualified to take down a bunch of guys on his own?
Horatio: No one is.
Scott: And you're just standing here smelling the roses? Do something!
Horatio: We don't have the resources to enter the school.
Scott: BREAK THE DOORS DOWN!
Horatio: Scott, calm d-
Scott: You guys have spent 3 hours with your thumbs up your asses!
Horatio: We're assessing the situation.
Scott: *shakes head*
Door opens
Scott/Horatio: *look at door*
People run out
Cops run into school

Scott: *looks at Lori*
Lori: *runs over, hugs Scott*
Scott: *wraps arms around Lori*

Tom: *walks out*
Steph: *clutching Tom's shirt*
Tom: It's okay now, you're safe.
Steph: *wraps arms around Tom's neck*
Street
Lori: *kisses Scott*
Scott: *closes eyes*
Hummer pulls up
Speed: *jumps down*
Horatio: *looks at Speed*
Speed: I just got the call out. What's going on?
Horatio: It's over but it's my understanding we have a crime scene inside.
Speed: Civilians?
Horatio: Suspects.
Speed: *looks at Lori*
Lori: *places forehead against Scott*
Scott: *sigh*
Near ambulance
Steph: I'm hungry.
Tom: *smiles* We'll get you something. *looks at paramedic* How is she?
Paramedic: She's good to go.
Tom: Great. *takes Steph's hand* Let's go see Mom and Dad.
Steph: *nods*

Okay...it's official...Tom is AWESOME! I love the transformation from being a complete dick to what he is now,...compassionate, willing to help, and provide the sexy swagger! I mean seriously, ya'll...YUM!
I'm starting to like the relationship that Lori and Tom now have. It's no longer Let's see how fast we can screw... it's more like, I look out for your back, you look out for mine *GET your heads out of the gutter...*
What's most important though...SCOTT and LORI have a defining moment! I'm going to go out on a cliff here and say that this is the point where they converge now. At least that's what my crossed fingers and toes hope.
So very awesome chapter!

I'm not sure I want to know what kind of kung-fu skills Tom and Lori used... :lol:
Poor Scott just got Horatio'd. And what I mean by that is, he got sucked into Horatio's crap logic... :lol:
Yay Lori and Scott!
Great update!

Condo, 11am
Speed: *walks over* Is girl talk over?
Katie: You ruin everything.
Speed: *sits* How's Steph doing?
Lori: She seems okay. I don't think she quite understood the whole situation but she gets that the bad guys are going to jail.
Speed: Good.
Katie: And Scotty took her back! Isn't this wonderful? They had makeup sex.
Speed: *frowns*
Lori: *looks at floor*
Katie: I need to go make some more tea! *stands, runs*
Speed: *looks at Lori*
Lori: Scott and I still have some things to work through.

Speed: *places box onto table*
Tom: *flips page*
Speed: You did good yesterday.
Tom: *looks at Speed*
Speed: ...Or so I've heard.
Tom: I was just doing my job.
Speed: On your own. It's not exactly protocol.
Tom: I don't think about protocol when lives are at stake.
Speed: You could have been killed.
Tom: Well at least it'll be for doing something meaningful with my life.
Speed: You want to do something meaningful, come home every night to your family. Tuck in your kids, lie beside your wife. *shakes head* The victims aren't the only ones with something to lose.
Tom: *stares at Speed*
Speed: When you're done the paperwork, take a look at the evidence from the school. One of the guys got away.
Tom: Sure.
Speed: *walks away*

FIRST OF ALL>>>>>>WHOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO Scotty and Lori...YES! I can take that they have work to do, but still , the first step has been taken! I'm so happy right now, lol.... Seriously!
Words of wisdom to Tom from Speed. I happen to agree with Speed, his family would've lost out had he died, and sometimes, I think that Tom still looks to his actions to cover for all the bad shit he did. What he needs to know is that he doesn't have to do that anymore, he's a good guy, and he has a great life now. I wonder how Anni feels about it...lol
Awesome work!

Tom: This place isn't really my style.
Lori: *smiles* Hey. What are you doing here?
Tom: Came to see how you're doing.
Lori: Checking up on me?
Tom: If you want to call it that.
Lori: Thanks but I'm good. I've got enough people in my life following me around.
Tom: No more strip club?
Lori: Why, you looking for a lap dance?
Tom: *leans on counter*
Lori: *folds clothes* That job ended. I'm just a simple floor manager at Levine's. My sister owns the place.
Tom: Your sister.
Lori: Yeah. Riley. She owns the company that makes the clothes.
Tom: Right.
Lori: She's supposed to be in this afternoon.
Tom: *looks at watch* It is the afternoon.
Town car pulls up
Lori: *looks outside*
Tom: Right on time.
Riley: *walks into store*
Lori: *looks at Riley*
Riley: *smiles* Hey hon, how's business today?
Lori: Steady.
Riley: Perfect. *walks over to counter* I'm going out for dinner with Tim tonight, would you like to join us? I'm sure he wouldn't mind.
Lori: Oh no, it's between you guys. I don't want to impose.
Riley: *smiling* Maybe next time. *looks at Tom*
Tom: *staring at Riley*
Riley: *smile fades* ...What the hell do you want?
Tom: *looks at Lori* She really is your sister.
Lori: *smirks*
Riley: You two know each other?
Tom: *extends hand* Tom Grey, MDPD.
Riley: *grabs Tom's hand*
Lori: Tom's married to Dad's...ex-wife.
Riley: Oh. *lowers hand, looks at Lori*
Lori: *scratches head*
Tom: I think I'll...go look at that sexy lingerie or...something. *walks away*
Lori: *stares at Tom*
Riley: ...Lori.
Lori: *sigh*
Riley: Lori!
Lori: *looks at Riley* Huh?
Riley: What's uh...what's up with you and lover boy over there?
Lori: *frowns* I don't know what you mean.
Riley: You're eyein' him like he's prime rib.
Lori: *laughs* Hilarious. No. No, he's just a friend.
Riley: *crosses arms*
Lori: We...sort of have a history. It's complicated and better yet, it's over. *shrugs* Can't help if he's nice to look at.
Riley: *looks at Tom* Yeah...could you get him away from the underwear? He's scaring the customers.
Lori: Sure. *walks away*
Riley: *grabs folder from counter*
Back of store
Tom: Women actually wear this?
Lori: *grabs underwear* It's more for decoration than practical use. Don't you have a job you need to get back to?
Tom: H told me to take the day.
Lori: So you decided to come down here and bother me until closing.
Tom: No, I was going to head home soon.
Lori: Good. Do that. Get out of my store. *pushes Tom*
Tom: *smirks* See you later. *walks away*

Well, that was cute...Nice to see Riley peek in the RT, and it's even nicer to see that she's on top of everything. It's clearly that Lori's still got some feelings for Tom. Just as long as they stay unrequitted, I'm alright with Lori... If she can't....then we have a problem...LOL

I keep forgetting that Tom took Anni's name... I was like, "I thought he was Carter!" :lol:
Speed has some good advice there for Tom. And I'm glad to see he's doing pretty good with Lori. I hope that continues.
Yay Riley helpin' out the fam! And bigger yay for her return!

Anni: *smiling* My how protective we are of this nonexistent child.
Tom: I'm serious.
Anni: We don't have to do this if you don't want to.
Tom: I want this more than you can imagine but...
Anni: It's not the same if it's not you and I.
Tom: *looks at Anni*
Anni: *nods* ...I'm sorry.
Tom: No. Don't. It's not your fault.
Anni: Yes it is. It's my fault you married an old bag.
Tom: *stares at Anni*
Anni: *tosses papers onto table*
Tom: I married a beautiful woman full of life, freedom and love. And it's infectious to the people around you. It doesn't matter whether you're 20 or 120.
Anni: *lifts eyes*
Tom: Nobody said at this stage that you couldn't carry a child. But it's inadvisable.
Anni: You want it to be me.
Tom: Yes but I also don't want you to die over it.
Anni: So what do we do?
Tom: *wraps arm around Anni* We'll figure it out.

Tom: I married a beautiful woman full of life, freedom and love. And it's infectious to the people around you. It doesn't matter whether you're 20 or 120.
Anni: *lifts eyes*
Tom: Nobody said at this stage that you couldn't carry a child. But it's inadvisable.
Anni: You want it to be me.
Tom: Yes but I also don't want you to die over it.
Anni: So what do we do?
Tom: *wraps arm around Anni* We'll figure it out.

Aww... they're gonna figure things out... Yay! *hugs them*
I'd love to see more Riley, too!
And I'm so suped that Lori and Scott are working things out. It's great.
Great update!
