CSI:Miami RT #12 - 'Road To Nowhere'

Not open for further replies.
Oh awwwwwwwwww poor Scotty- he's barely hanging on, but at least there's some semblance of the old Lori coming back. I have a feeling that this is just the surface of Scott's emotional breakdown.

I hope that they find Gavin and Dominick, and for Gavin's sake he better have not done anythign to Dom. Scott would lose his mind on him.


Awesome update!
 
Thanks for the review! :D

Bunker, 8:40pm

Dominick: *crying*

Gavin: SHUT UP!

Dominick: *crying* MOMMMMA!

Gavin: *smacks Dominick* KNOCK IT OFF!

Dominick: *screams, wails*

Gavin: Ugh. *throws spoon and syringe onto table*

Dominick: *crying, crawling away*

Gavin: *grabs Dominick by the hair, slams him onto couch*

Dominick: *sniffing*

Gavin: *pulls out lighter, places it under spoon*

Wildlife Preserve, forest

Horatio: You hear that?

Tom: *lowers gun, steps over* ...Sounds like crying.

Horatio: This way. *walks away*

Tom: *follows*

Bunker

Gavin: *throws syringe, stands*

Dominick: *frowning, wiping eyes*

Gavin: *walks over to window, looks out*

Dominick: *crawls off couch*

Gavin: *wipes forehead, scratches at cheek*

Dominick: *crawls across floor*

Gavin: *pulls out gun*

Dominick: *reaches for door*

Gavin: HEY! *runs over, grabs Dominick* Get back here!

Dominick: *frowns, pushes Gavin's arms* NO!

Tom: *kicks door, lifts gun* Miami PD!

Gavin: *looks at Tom, places gun to Dominick's head*

Tom: *steps in* Uh uh. Put him down.

Gavin: We're not so different.

Tom: I've never held a gun to a child's head.

Gavin: We're not cop material. We never were. This is our life.

Tom: No. It's your life. Put him down, we can talk about this.

Gavin: What's to talk about? I've already made up my mind.

Tom: You can get help.

Gavin: That would make things boring.

Tom: Give me the kid.

Gavin: *laughs* You care about him, don't you.

Tom: *stares at Gavin*

Gavin: Lori's little baby. You know she refused to have children with me when we were married.

Tom: I don't blame her.

Gavin: Everyone thinks hubby's the big hero of the story. He saved her from herself. *scoffs* I tried to help her. But she dragged me down into the sewer with her. She had me doing lines of coke off the bed spread.

Tom: You didn't have to.

Gavin: Yes I did. She has a way of spinning people so tightly around her...don't tell me she never did the same to you.

Tom: Your problems are your own. Only cowards blame others.

Gavin: *frowns, points gun forward*

Tom: *pulls trigger*

BAM BAM

Gavin: *falls over*

Dominick: *falls, starts to cry*

Tom: *runs over, picks up Dominick*

Dominick: *wraps arms around Tom's neck*

Horatio: *steps over*

Tom: *looks back*

Horatio: This was only going to end one way, Tom.

Tom: *nods*

Horatio: Take him home. I'll stay here.

Tom: *walks away*

Horatio: *looks down at Gavin*

Gables Estates, house, 10:00pm

Scott: *staring at clock*

Lori: *sips tea*

Doorbell rings

Scott: *looks at door*

Lori: It's the police.

Scott: ...I'm not answering it.

Lori: *stares at Scott*

Scott: *rubs eyes*

Lori: *stands, walks away*

Foyer

Lori: *opens door*

Tom: *looks at Lori*

Dominick: *smiles* MOMMY! *reaches out*

Living room

Scott: *lifts head, looks at door*

Foyer

Lori: *smirks*

Scott: *runs over, grabs Dominick*

Dominick: *smiling* Hi.

Scott: *sigh* Thank God. *hugs Dominick*

Tom: Yeah, give him all the credit.

Scott: *looks at Tom*

Lori: What happened to...Gavin?

Tom: He's dead.

Scott: *stares at Tom*

Tom: You guys are ruining desk duty for me.

Lori: Thank you.

Tom: *nods* ...*looks at Scott* Is he crying?

Lori: *looks at Scott* Probably tears of joy.

Tom: Right. Well, maybe now the night will go a little more smoothly for you. *turns around, walks away*

Lori: *shuts door*

Dominick: I'm squished.

Lori: *smirks* Scott, you can let him go now.

Scott: No.

Lori: Thought so.

TBC................................
 
YAY! Dominic is saved! Gavin's dead! Tom's the hero! Everyone can go home and have a restful night now! Truthfully, Gavin really deserved his ending- he's been nothing but a dick to Lori and now to take Dom? Yeah, he was just asking for it.

The reunion was awesome, poor Scotty's not going to let go of Dominic at all. I wouldn't blame him in the least bit.

Awesome update!
 
Thanks for the review! Wee!

Miami Lab, trace, 8am

Speed: *opens folder, grabs pen*

Katie: *walks over* How do you refer to me?

Speed: Here? Katie.

Katie: What about when you're out with friends?

Speed: ...Katie.

Katie: But I'm your wife.

Speed: You're my ex-wife.

Katie: Yeah but wife is in the title. So you can still call me your wife.

Speed: ...I don't think so.

Katie: I call you my husband all the time.

Speed: *lifts head* Why?

Katie: We're in a domestic partnership. Therefore, we're technically spouses.

Speed: *stares at Katie*

Katie: HA.

Speed: You know that's actually banned in some states.

Katie: Well guess what, sweetie. Miami-Dade County allows it. Double HA.

Speed: *frowns*

Katie: I've registered us.

Speed: Katie, you can't register anything regarding the both of us without my consent.

Katie: Oh your signature's easy to forge.

Speed: Undo it.

Katie: You don't want to live with me for the rest of your life?

Speed: Something tells me I don't have a choice either way.

Katie: YAY!

Speed: *angry sigh*

Katie: I'm going to go tell everyone the happy news.

Speed: No you're not.

Katie: Why? Are you embarrassed to be married to me?

Speed: I'm not married to you.

Katie: HEY. Don't be thinking just because I don't have a ring on my finger, that you can go sleep with anything that'll open its legs for you. You're not getting off that easily.

Speed: Not that I'm proud of this but that didn't stop me when you did have a ring on your finger.

Katie: Huh.

Speed: *looks down at folder, flips page*

Katie: I have the perfect way to prove your loyalty. *pulls out quarter*

Speed: You're going to bribe me to stay with you? It'll take more than 25 cents.

Katie: No no no. I'm going to flip it. Heads you stay, tails you move out.

Speed: Okay.

Katie: *flips coin into air*

Speed: *leans back in chair, crosses arms*

Katie: *looks down at coin* Tails.

Speed: Flip it again.

Katie: AHA!

Speed: *smirks*

Katie: *smiling*

Tom: *walks in* D-

Katie: TOM!

Tom: *blinks* Wow, the only other person who ever screamed my name was L-

Speed: *frowns*

Tom: *clears throat* You know what, it was a bad joke anyway. Do you have some file from the medical examiner? I was supposed to get it an hour ago but it seems to be misplaced.

Speed: No.

Katie: Have you checked the medical examiner?

Tom: ...You think my file would fit up his ass?

Katie: *rolls eyes*

Speed: It may have gone to reception.

Tom: Then we need to fire whoever runs the mail around here.

Katie: Love the accent. Very New York.

Tom: *frowns* I'm from Jersey.

Katie: Oh. Isn't that the same thing?

Tom: *eye twitches* You're confused. I only worked for the NYPD.

Katie: I thought you were a firefighter.

Tom: *scoffs* Yeah right. No amount of money could get me to run into a fire.

Katie: Must be why the NYPD fired you.

Speed: Katie.

Katie: What? Just saying.

Tom: I'm going to go search for my evidence. *walks away*

Katie: OH! I have a lunch date with Lori today! You want to come? I'm molding her into the perfect wife.

Speed: How exactly does that work?

Katie: Well she's got amnesia, right? I figure I have a blank slate to work with. *smiles* It's really fun.

Speed: You shouldn't play with people like that.

Katie: What's the harm? She'll turn into a good person? Ooh, stop me now.

Speed: You're lying to her about her life.

Katie: Her life before wasn't the greatest.

Speed: But it was hers.

Katie: Haven't you ever wished you could start over?

Speed: If Lori wants to start fresh, more power to her. I just don't think you should push it on her and make her believe she's something she isn't.

Katie: That's no fun.

Speed: It's not up to you.

Horatio: *walks in, starts measuring walls*

Katie: *looks at Horatio* What are you doing?

Horatio: We're being inspected.

Katie: By the government?

Horatio: Ann Donahinkle. She's part of city council and was appointed.

Speed: You mean the lunatic that sent us to Africa?

Katie: *screams, runs away*

Horatio: Speed, you mind standing for a second?

Speed: Sure. *stands*

Horatio: Okay now take off the labcoat.

Speed: Alright. *takes off labcoat*

Horatio: Now give me your gun and badge.

Speed: *places gun and badge on table*

Horatio: Give me your wallet.

Speed: What for?

Horatio: I'm storing all of these in the Locker Room for the next 5 years. Don't worry, we'll put a questionably satisfactory combination lock on it.

Speed: *stares at Horatio*

TBC.................................
 
A few things:

Katie's EXTREMELY inappropriate. From her complete lack of the law in forging Speed's signature, to her obvious disregard to Tom's place of birth to playing with Lori's life, she really has no shame. But she's loads of fun....so it equals out, doesn't it?

Speed's in for a rude awakening. I smell a rat and her name is Anna Donhinkle... This is going to be soo good....

Ps...I died at Horatio's statement:

Horatio: I'm storing all of these in the Locker Room for the next 5 years. Don't worry, we'll put a questionably satisfactory combination lock on it.

Speed: *stares at Horatio*

Seriously :guffaw:

Miami Lab, 10am next day

Tom: *steps off elevator*

Light blares through halls

Tom: Whoa. *squints*

Horatio: Ah, just the man I wanted to see. *hands over labcoat* This is yours.

Tom: Did you re-decorate?

Horatio: Only a bit. *smiles* We're being inspected today. I want us to look presentable.

Tom: By dunking us into a bag of Skittles?

Horatio: Nonsense. Donahinkle's the one who picked out the colors. They were derived directly from the core of the sun so you must be careful not to look directly at the walls or you'll burn your corneas.

Tom: I figured as much.

Horatio: Hurry up and get to work before Donahinkle docks points for professionalism.

Tom: You mean unprofessionalism.

Horatio: You heard what I said. Get going.

Tom: ...Right. *walks away*

Horatio: *places hands on hips, opens mouth*

Music starts to play

Horatio: *looks around* ...Where the hell does that keep coming from? I haven't said anything yet.

Music stops

Horatio: *puts on shades, opens mouth*

Music starts to play

Horatio: Oh come on, I wasn't even going for a one-liner yet.

Music stops

Horatio: *steps forward*

Music starts to play

Horatio: *frowns, crosses arms* Don't get ahead of me. I don't like that.

Music stops

Horatio: Thank you.

Trace Lab

Tom: *walks in, looks around* ...Speed?

Ryan: *walks over* Hey, have you seen Eric? I can't find him anywhere.

Tom: I'm trying to find Speed.

Ryan: Who's that?

Tom: Hilarious. Tim Speedle.

Ryan: Oh okay. That's the name of the haunted locker downstairs.

Tom: ...Say again?

Ryan: The M.E sent my samples up here again, the territorial bastard. Think you can find it for me?

Tom: You know, the same thing happened to me yesterday. *walks around table, moves papers around*

Ryan: Rumor has it there's a mystery woman in your life.

Tom: *lifts eyes* There is?

Ryan: *laughs* So typical. Come on man, you had to come back for a reason.

Tom: ...I'm not following.

Ryan: Some of us think it's a daughter, others think it's a sexy ex.

Tom: Are you on drugs?

Ryan: I wish. At least I'd have something to do around here.

Tom: *turns labcoat over, looks down* ...I think Horatio gave me the wrong labcoat.

Ryan: What do you mean?

Tom: My last name isn't 'Cardoza'.

Ryan: Oh so you assumed a new identity before you came back to Miami? The guys are going to LOVE this. What made you run? The mob? Does the mob have your daughter and/or sexy ex?

Tom: What? No.

Ryan: You're such a hero. *sigh* Can I have your dimples?

Tom: *stares blankly*

Natalia: *walks in*

Tom: *looks at Natalia*

Natalia: Oops, this isn't my scene. My bad, I'll be back in 3 years. *walks away*

Tom: Is someone playing a practical joke around here? Because it's not funny.

Ryan: What's not funny is how handsome and strong you are.

Tom: *sigh*

Men's room, 11am

Tom: *walks in, turns on sink*

Delko: *shaving head*

Tom: *looks over at Eric* ...You alright?

Delko: Must. Not. Grow. Hair. Will attain a fashion sense.

Tom: *nods slowly*

Delko: *looks at Tom* You didn't happen to see Calleigh today, did you?

Tom: No.

Delko: Damn. Today's the day I was going to profess my undying love for her but our schedules always clash.

Tom: You could try waiting in ballistics.

Delko: What's ballistics?

Tom: ...Firearms lab.

Delko: Why would Calleigh be there?

Tom: Okay, someone's spiked the water for sure.

Delko: Maybe I'll consult my spirit guide. He should be showing up at the beach any minute. *walks away*

Tom: *rubs eyes*

Hallway

Tom: *walking*

Katie: *runs over* Tom!

Tom: *looks back*

Katie: Please tell me you didn't knock back any LSD this morning.

Tom: I'm clean.

Katie: Good. What's going on around here?

Tom: I've been asking myself that question all morning.

Katie: No one will speak to me, it's like I'm invisible or something.

Tom: Lucky. Everyone seems to know who I am but they think I'm someone else.

Katie: Horatio said something yesterday about an inspection. You think it's connected?

Tom: Horatio told me about it this morning too. Someone named Donahinkle's supposed to be here.

Katie: YES! She's the one who sent the team to a foreign land a few years ago and let me tell ya, it did NOT turn out well.

Tom: Sounds like we should find this Donahinkle person.

Katie: Yeah, I've got a few questions for her. Like for starters, why my ID says 'Pam' on it.

Miami Beach

Delko: *walks over* Tim.

Speed: Oh thank God you're here. Get your bolt cutters from the truck.

Delko: It was you this morning. It's been a long time.

Speed: What are you talking about? I was at work yesterday, I paid for your lunch.

Delko: Why are you here?

Speed: I was on my way home last night when someone came up behind me and the next thing I know, I wake up here chained to the beach. C'mon, I'll help you out, we need to hurry before whoever it was who kidnapped me gets back.

Delko: *laughs* Alright then. Help. What am I missing?

Speed: The freaking bolt cutters.

Delko: How to pad your time card.

Speed: What? What do our time cards have to do with this?

Delko: Every person who enters a crime scene brings something in and takes something away.

Speed: Exactly so in order to find out who did this, we'll need to keep the chain as evidence.

Delko: What are you saying? Someone took evidence before we even arrived?

Speed: No, they didn't take any evidence, they LEFT evidence. The chain might have latent prints.

Delko: How do I find something that's not even here?

Speed: You dust it.

Delko: *looks over at tape*

Speed: Eric.

Delko: *walks away*

Speed: Eric, the truck's in the other direction.

Delko: *walks under tape, kneels*

Speed: Eric!

Donahinkle: *walks up, places cloth up to Speed's mouth*

Speed: *muffled screams*

Delko: Burnt piece of tubing. It's gotta be from the crime scene. *lifts head* Speedle. *looks around* ...*shrugs* Thanks for the help.

Miami Lab, hallway

Katie: *walking* You get anything?

Tom: No, everyone around here seems to be worried about a stolen credit card and a runaway illegitimate child.

Katie: Well I asked Tyler if he'd check the security footage to see if Donahinkle's been in the lab lately and if so, where. He paged me so I'm waiting for him to get here.

Tom: *nods*

2 hours later

Katie: *looks at watch* That's weird...he said he'd be right over.

Tom: Maybe he got tied up somewhere.

Elevator doors open

Suzie: *steps off elevator* Excuse me?

Tom: *looks at Suzie*

Suzie: I'm looking for Lieutenant Caine. My daughter Madison's his niece, we were just wondering if-

Trap door opens

Suzie/Madison: *scream, fall*

Trap door shuts

Katie: *looks at floor*

Tom: ...Did the floor just open up and swallow them?

Katie: *kneels* It's labeled. Caution: Trap Door of Continuity.

Tom: I guess that explains why Tyler's so late.

Seriously...I'm trying not to wake up anyone in the house, but this is flippin hilarious! I knew when Donahinkle's name was uttered that chaos would run rampant. I lost it when Katie came around and said:

Katie: Yeah, I've got a few questions for her. Like for starters, why my ID says 'Pam' on it.

I swear, I lost it right there. Easily the best line...

The Trap Door of Continuity... seriously...I lost a lung laughing at that! This is going to be hilarious...wait...it already is!

Awesome update!
 
OMG! LMFOROF ! You think you lost a Lung ! I wasn't around when the whole Africa thing went down! So I didn't get that story and I totally Missed what Horatio was referring to about taking Speeds stuff until I started reading that last chapter and caught on when Ryan started in on Tom thinking he was Jesse! OMG ! The further I went the whorse it got! When Eric started the Whole BBYD spill I didn't think I would actually be able to finish I laughed so damn hard! i had to take a hit off my puffer cause I couldn't breath I was laughing so damn hard! Then poor old Suzi fell through the trap door ! Good lord! OMG!

Great update Geni !

I think that was one of the all time best!

Horatio's office, 3pm

Donahinkle: *hands over folder* I've got the report finished.

Horatio: How'd we do?

Donahinkle: Just as I'd hoped. *smiles* The improvements are very satisfactory.

Horatio: Excellent.

Donahinkle: How would you feel about putting the sunglasses up on the shelf?

Horatio: ...Huh?

Donahinkle: People want to see your eyes and frankly, I think you look dashing without them. *holds up frame* I bought you this.

Horatio: What's that for?

Donahinkle: Your sunglasses. *smiles* We're retiring them!

Horatio: *frowns* You've gone too far.

Donahinkle: I've already made the decision.

Horatio: *points gun at Donahinkle* Out.

Donahinkle: But-

Horatio: You know how great a shot I am. Especially when people are already on the ground wounded without a weapon.

Donahinkle: *turns around, runs away*

Horatio: *sigh*

Speed: *walks over*

Horatio: Put this lab back the way we had it.

Speed: I'll get someone on it. Hey uh, you mind if I take the rest of the day?

Horatio: Something wrong?

Speed: No. Anni's in labor so I'm taking Brook for the night.

Horatio: Tell her everyone's wishing her luck.

Speed: *nods* Sure. *walks away*

Horatio: *sits at desk* Whew. What a day.

Biscayne Park, house, 3:40pm

Tom: Her bedtime's at 6 and make sure she has her teddy, she can't fall asleep without it. Oh and before I forget...*runs over to counter, grabs book* if you feel like it, you can read her this story.

Speed: *looks at book* ...You want me to read her a book.

Tom: It's her favourite.

Speed: She's 2.

Tom: A very mature 2.

Speed: Anything else?

Tom: OH! *runs over to bag, lifts out item* This is her night light. It helps her fall asleep.

Speed: I thought her teddy did that. And the book.

Tom: There's a routine. Bed, teddy, book, night light.

Speed: ...I liked you better when you were a heroin addict.

Tom: *picks up Brook* You ready to go?

Brook: *shakes head*

Tom: You can come see us tomorrow but for right now, you're going with him.

Brook: Why?

Tom: You don't want to sleep in a chair at the hospital.

Brook: *wraps arms around Tom's neck*

Tom: I have to go.

Brook: NO.

Tom: Just one sleep and you can come see us. *hands Brook to Speed*

Brook: *reaches out, starts to cry* DADDY!

Tom: *picks up bag* You'll be fine, sweetie.

Brook: *crying*

Tom: *throws bag at Speed*

Speed: Oof.

Tom: *scratches eyebrow* Take off before I take her back.

Speed: Keep us posted.

Tom: Will do.

Speed: *walks away*

Tom: Ugh, come on Carter. Kids cry, keep it together.

Gables Estates, backyard, 8pm

Lori: *dives into pool*

Scott: *leans against door, stares at pool*

Lori: *swims to edge of pool*

Scott: *steps outside, walks across deck*

Lori: *lifts eyes*

Scott: *stares at Lori, kneels near pool*

Lori: *swims over*

Scott: I can turn on the heat if you'd like.

Lori: *grabs bars, steps up* Fancy. Most people swim to get cooled off around these parts.

Scott: *lifts head* I guess I'm still used to colder weather.

Lori: *steps around Scott*

Scott: *stares ahead*

Lori: *sits* ...I don't think I would have been able to get through all this without you.

Scott: *looks at Lori*

Lori: Thanks.

Scott: *nods*

Lori: *leans over* ....*kisses Scott's cheek*

Scott: *lowers head*

Lori: I'm going to go dry off. *stands, walks away*

Scott: *closes eyes*

TBC............................
 
Awww! I wanted some more Lab craziness with the Donahinkle ! Boooooo!

Yay! Anni's having the baby! Why do I feel as though Speed keeping Brook could be a major disaster. I hope Katie will be there to help Speed out! (Or HELP Speed in other ways Wink wink nudge nudge!) Lol!

I think Lori is starting to warm back up to Scott a little. I think they could be another Baby coming on. I say he better do it now before she figures out whats going on ! lol!

Great update Geni!
 
Oh awwww! YES! Anni's finally in labor. I thought it was cute that Tom and Brook were having seperation anxiety, and interesting that Speed's now going to have to take care of his own daughter , who is more of a stranger to him than a stranger. I think it's going to be interesting indeed.

Yes, there's a connection from Lori and Scott. I just think that there's more under the surface.

Ps... Did anyone else find Scott kinda stalkeristic while he watched Lori in the pool? Yes? Whew...

Awesome update!
 
Thanks for the reviews! :D

Condo, bedroom, 9pm

Speed: Get back in bed.

Brook: *frowns* No.

Speed: This is enough. You've had your story, your teddy and your light thing. Get your butt back in the bed.

Brook: *shakes head* Want Daddy.

Speed: He's busy.

Brook: *crosses arms*

Speed: You have until the count of 3.

Katie: *peeks in*

Speed: *lifts fingers* One.

Brook: *stares at Speed*

Speed: Two.

Brook: *lifts brow*

Speed: Three.

Brook: *staring at Speed*

Speed: Bed.

Brook: No.

Speed: *steps closer, kneels* You want to say that to my face?

Brook: *leans closer* No.

Speed: *stares at Brook*

Brook: *leans back*

Speed: Fine. You can stand here in the dark pouting all night. *stands, walks away*

Brook: *lifts eyes*

Speed: *slams door*

Brook: *looks around*

Hallway

Katie: That was...rude.

Speed: I'm tired, I don't have time to play games with that child.

Katie: Exactly. Child. That means you're supposed to be the adult instead of stooping to her level.

Speed: You deal with her.

Katie: She's yours.

Speed: *walks away*

Katie: *rolls eyes*

Bedroom

Brook: *sits on bed, hugs knees*

Katie: *steps in*

Brook: *lifts eyes*

Katie: *walks over, sits on bed* I know you miss Mom and Dad. I would too. But you get to see them tomorrow.

Brook: *stares at Katie*

Katie: This is just a sleep-over.

Brook: He's mean.

Katie: That's because you weren't listening. When we say bedtime, we mean it.

Brook: Not tired.

Katie: You look pretty tired to me.

Brook: Want Daddy.

Katie: The faster you sleep, the faster you get to see Daddy.

Brook: *climbs under covers, lies down*

Katie: *smirks* Nighty night.

Brook: *hugs teddy*

Master bedroom

Katie: *walks in* All of your kids are stubborn has hell.

Speed: ...She'd still be mine if things between Anni and I hadn't blown apart.

Katie: *lifts brow* She is yours. Tom has about zero legal standing on the matter.

Speed: You should have seen them together. He's her father.

Katie: *sits on bed* It doesn't have to be that way, you know. You could file for custody.

Speed: *looks at Katie* Why would I do that?

Katie: Um because she belongs to you.

Speed: I'm not going to separate them.

Katie: Anni took her away from you first.

Speed: *frowns*

Katie: She gave your daughter to a heroin addict.

Speed: Tom and Anni are both good parents. I might not like the situation but I'm not prepared to turn her life upside down over it.

Katie: What happens when she figures out Tom's not her biological father?

Speed: If she has a good life and a good relationship with him, hopefully that won't matter.

Katie: And in the meantime, you get left in the dust.

Speed: As long as she's happy and healthy, I can live with that.

Katie: What happened to you wanting to do things differently with Brook? What happened to you wanting to be a real father for once?

Speed: It's a little hard to do that now.

Katie: It's not impossible.

Speed: Can we just go to bed now?

Katie: Alright.

Speed: *turns off light, lies down*

Gables Estates, house, master bedroom

Lori: *staring into mirror*

Scott: *looks over* ...You okay?

Lori: I'm just looking.

Scott: What do you see?

Lori: Scars.

Scott: You've...been though a lot.

Lori: At least most people can remember how they got them. I feel like this body belongs to someone else.

Scott: *walks over*

Lori: I must have seemed so...broken to you when we met. Discarded, even. Like getting an old t-shirt that spent most of its time on a muddy road repeatedly run over by traffic.

Scott: That's not how you appeared to me at all.

Lori: *lowers eyes*

Scott: *grabs Lori's hand* Let's get some rest.

TBC.............................
 
Aww, Scott's so sweetly supportive.

The inspection had me dying laughing! :lol: Too funny. :D

I still think Bob should run the company... Although, I'm curious about these three kids of his who haven't talked to him in 8 years...

*hugs Scott and Lori* Thank goodness Dom's okay. :D

Katie's an instigator.

*hugs Anni and Tom*

I wonder who Matthew is to Tom...

Great updates! :D
 
How interesting for Speed and Brook. It just goes to show how deep a connection is. I have mixed emotions about Speed taking Katie's advice. I mean, if Brook is happy and healthy and loved, then I don't see the need to disrupt, but on that same token, Speed is her biological father, and if he feels the need to try and connect, then he should. It's such a catch 22.

Oh aww...Lori and Scotty. I'm hoping that they continue to progress. I can definetly understand her worries and hesitations. Certianly an interesting situation.

You continue to keep me enthralled! Awesome
