Poor Riley...It all comes down now. I knew that she would have some parental issues. They're vaild points, mind you. I guess it was because she was just coming off of the GHB, that or she really did inherit Speed's attitude. Either way, Riley's not in a good mood in the least bit.

Can I say just how much I LOVE Scott? Even though he could've gotten rid of the divorce papers...nothing, I tell you, NOTHING sets the tone more than accidentally finding divorce papers. But, he scores points...SERIOUS points with wisking her to Paris. I mean...really.... That's just awwwwwww.

Awesome update!
 
Well Me thinks theirs a little more going on in Riley's house than meets the eye! and why did the polive not interview her and why didn't Lori go to the hospital with her and stay with her till she woke up! Now Speed thinks that Lori had something to do with her being drugged ! Lori really should have told Speed what happened so he wasn't blind sided by Riley's hate and discontent! But I would have to agree with Riley also! Whats up with speed not trying to have a relationship with her! She moved to Miami to be close to her family and shes getting left out in the cold!

Note to speed : Lori isn't your only child! I think you need to enject youself into her life a little more and find out whats going on with her because I think shes having some issues and she may need your help!

Well I guess Scott is finally gonna give lori that romantic proposal shes been asking for! i just hope none of that James bond kinda stuff happens to them while they are in Paris! lol! you know how those two seem to have trouble follow them everywhere! lol!

Great Update Geni!
 
Thanks for the reviews! :D

Paris, restaurant, patio, 11:30pm

Lori: *looks around* So many French people.

Scott: *smiles*

Lori: *leans against railing* Is that the Eiffel Tower?

Scott: I believe it is.

Lori: That thing is huge. Look at it! Wow. Beautiful.

Scott: *takes Lori's hand*

Lori: I wonder how long it took to build that thing.

Scott: Lori.

Lori: How'd they get the lights up there! Do you think people bungee jump off that thing?

Scott: Lori...

Lori: *smiles* We should go up there sometime.

Scott: *kisses Lori's hand* Lori-

Lori: *smiling* It's so much different here than Miami. Everything's so condensed and intimate, it's like-

Scott: *grabs Lori, kisses her*

Lori: *closes eyes*

Scott: *places hand on Lori's cheek*

Lori: *sigh*

Scott: *lies forehead against Lori*

Lori: *clears throat* ...

Scott: *smirks* I'm trying to be romantic here. You're not making it easy.

Lori: Well...you know me.

Scott: ...You want my jacket? You're shaking.

Lori: I-I'm not cold...I just...I'm not used to this.

Scott: You wanted this.

Lori: *lowers head*

Scott: *brushes hair from Lori's face* Why don't we have a seat and talk.

Lori: Are we allowed to just loiter here?

Scott: The owner doesn't mind.

Lori: You know the owner.

Scott: Mhm.

Lori: You must have connections all over the world.

Scott: Some places more than others.

Lori: *smiles nervously* Are any of these um...mob connections?

Scott: *stares at Lori*

Lori: *looks around*

Scott: ...I'm apologize, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable.

Lori: *lifts eyes* Uh...it's um...it's not really everyday I get flown to Paris on a private jet. That's all. This whole thing must have cost a lot of money. I mean, I was hoping for some romance, sure but I'm not worth all this.

Scott: You are to me. *kisses Lori's cheek*

Lori: *closes eyes*

Scott: I love you.

Lori: *sigh*

Scott: *places thumb on Lori's chin*

Lori: *looks at Scott*

Scott: *smiles*

Lori: *swallows*

Scott: ...*clears throat* ...Will you...marry me?

Lori: *stares at Scott*

Scott: *blinks*

Lori: No.

Scott: *lifts brow*

Lori: I'm already married.

Scott: ...Ha. Ha.

Lori: *smiles*

Scott: I hope you haven't been waiting 6 years to make me look like an idiot.

Lori: Maybe 4.

Scott: Thank you, I appreciate that.

Lori: *laughs*

Scott: *takes Lori's hands* Lori, I wanted to marry you the second we met.

Lori: You were a bit quick on the trigger there. I was a crack whore.

Scott: That's not what I saw. I've never seen that in you.

Lori: Maybe you just missed it because I had my clothes on for once.

Scott: Why can't you accept that I love you, completely, for who you are?

Lori: Someone like you...just doesn't love people like me. And definitely not right away. Are you fucking blind? I sold myself for crack so I could kill myself slowly! I hate myself! How could ANYBODY love me this much! What's wrong with you! What could you possibly have seen in me!

Scott: This. The pain, the worthlessness you feel everyday. It tears you up and it reveals the human being behind all that other superficial stuff and guess what, I love her. She's completely flawed, she's beautiful.

Lori: How in the hell does that make me beautiful?

Scott: Up until I met you, I spent my entire life being set up with these perfect little bubble-gum popping bimbos who wouldn't know their own last names if it wasn't printed on their mile-long Tiffany's receipts. You were the first person to ever tell me to shove it.

Lori: Big deal, you lived in the same pretend fantasy world as your parents.

Scott: *laughs* Exactly!

Lori: You're nuts.

Scott: I'm okay with that.

Lori: *steps closer, places hands on Scott's chest*

Scott: *wraps arms around Lori*

Lori: *kisses Scott*

Scott: *sigh*

Lori: ...I love you.

TBC...................................
 
Finally, they get it out in the open! Finally Lori can't run from the truth. Finally, Scott proposes! :guffaw: Seriously though, I'm glad they were finally on the same page with each other and that Scott was able to tell and show her that she is worth all the love that he could give her. Now...all they have to do is ah...consumate this thing.

awesome update!
 
Lol! I want to know when the wedding is! Oh you know they really should have a wedding since they didn't really have one to start with! just think of all the insane relatives they can invite! Why Katie alone is enough to cause the whole event to end in fire blaze of craziness alone! Lol!

For some god all-full reason It just struck me as the perfect thing to do is for them to have a wedding and for Speed to just totally loose his since of sanity and ask Katie to marry him again after an all out food fight war broke out in the middle of the reception after they cream each other with wedding cake! Hmm ! Oh well I don't think speed is that stupid!

But it would be funny! lol! Maybe Lori could have a dream about it! lol!

Great update Geni !
 
All together now... AWWWWWWWW!!!!

How adorable. I want a Scott in my life, man. I don't care if he's rich, I just want the romance of it.

:lol: She said no... that's way too funny. :lol:

I hope Speed and Riley can work things out and fall into place.

I hope Riley'll be okay!

Great updates! :D
 
Thanks so much for the reviews! :D

Condo, 2pm next day

Speed: *opens door*

Lori: *smiles* Hey! We're back, how are the kids?

Speed: Steph's still in school but Dom's here.

Lori: Great! *runs in*

Kitchen

Katie: *places cup on table*

Dominick: *reaches for cup*

Lori: *runs over* Hey!

Dominick: *smiles* MOMMY!

Lori: *smiling, picks up Dominick* Hi little one.

Dominick: *wraps arms around Lori's neck*

Lori: *kisses Dominick's cheek* Mwah!

Dominick: *giggles*

Speed: *walks over*

Lori: You have your lunch yet?

Dominick: *nods*

Lori: Good. What'd you have?

Dominick: Samich.

Lori: *smiles*

Speed: How was Paris?

Lori: *looks at Speed* Uh...it was nice.

Speed: *stares at Lori*

Lori: *sits at table, places Dominick on lap*

Katie: *pours milk* What'd you guys do over there?

Lori: *smirks*

Katie: Ugh, I wish I had a rich husband.

Dominick: *grabs cup, drinks milk*

Katie: Where is he, anyway?

Lori: He had to work. I hope the kids were good.

Speed: They were well-behaved.

Katie: I'm sure they don't get that from you though.

Lori: *looks at Katie*

Dominick: *reaches for cookies*

Lori: *slaps Dominick's hand*

Dominick: *frowns*

Lori: I have to take you home for a nap, young man.

Dominick: Not tired.

Lori: Too bad. *stands* Thanks for watchin' the kids.

Speed: Anytime. I'll walk you to your vehicle.

Lori: *walks away*

Outside, driveway

Lori: *opens door, plunks Dominick in car seat*

Speed: Have you seen Tom yet?

Lori: This is the first place I stopped when we landed. Why?

Speed: Apparently H had to send him home.

Lori: *looks at Speed* What happened?

Speed: I guess he snapped at someone and almost compromised a bunch of evidence.

Lori: You know what set him off?

Speed: Could be a million things.

Lori: I'll stop by his place later.

Speed: *nods*

Biscayne Park, house, 6pm

Lori: *knocks on door* ...*knocks on door*

Car pulls up

Lori: *looks at car*

Anni: *opens door* Hey, is everything okay? *stands*

Lori: Where's Tom?

Anni: He's at work.

Lori: Dad told me he got sent home.

Anni: *lifts brow* Since when? *turns around, grabs Brook*

Lori: Since this afternoon. Have you spoken to him?

Anni: I haven't seen him since last night. He got called in. *walks over* I could call him.

Lori: That might be a good idea.

Anni: Can you grab Brook?

Lori: Oh sure. *takes Brook*

Brook: *grabs Lori's hair*

Lori: *winces*

Anni: *places phone up to ear*

Lori: *pulls Brook's hand away*

Brook: *grabs Lori's hair*

Lori: Girl you have a grip on you.

Brook: *smiles*

Anni: It's just going to voicemail. *snaps phone shut* Maybe he went back to work.

Lori: I might believe that if his name was Scott Finch but this is Tom we're talking about.

Anni: Why would he just take off? That's not like him.

Lori: Has he been acting weird lately?

Anni: Distant, maybe but not weird. Where do you think he'd go?

Lori: Let's figure it out.

Inside truck, road

Anni: *turns wheel* Why are we in the Grove?

Lori: It's where I'd go.

Anni: What exactly do you think he's up to?

Lori: I don't know but I hope it's not what I think it might be.

Anni: ...I never figured I'd fall in love with him.

Lori: *looks at Anni*

Anni: I was just using him to get back at your father. It was completely selfish but...*sigh* he was really good to me. Nothing like I expected.

Lori: He's a good man. *tilts head* Well, once you clean him up and get the poison out of his veins.

Anni: I don't see him anywhere around here and it's getting dark.

Lori: Wait wait, up there. Is that his car?

Anni: *squints* I think so.

Lori: Let's check it out.

APL Manhattan Miami, office, 30th floor

Scott: *writing*

Waterhouse: How was Paris?

Scott: *lifts eyes*

Waterhouse: *smiles* Lori's very beautiful when her mouth isn't flapping.

Scott: *drops pen, stands* What do you want.

Waterhouse: That's a vague question. There are many things I strive for.

Scott: Is pissing me off one of them?

Waterhouse: Hardly. You don't sit with a bomb in the hopes that it'll go off in front of you.

Scott: Then why are you here.

Waterhouse: *places stopwatch onto table* I got this for you.

Scott: *looks down at table*

Waterhouse: It counts down.

Scott: *lifts eyes* I'm not playing another one of your silly games.

Waterhouse: If you don't, he'll die.

Scott: *stares at Waterhouse* ...Who.

Waterhouse: Let's just say I'm not simply dropping a helicopter on him this time. *turns around, walks over to door* Oh and Scott...if I see police outside by the time I get there, he dies now. *leaves*

Scott: *grabs stopwatch*

TBC.....................................
 
UGH!! WATERHOUSE! Someone should really slap him into an insane asylum , but I won't be opposed to him getting physically maimed in some manner. Seriously though, I'm ready for him to find his end somewhere. I'm growing tired of him.

Awesome update !
 
OH NO! The psycho doctor guy is at it again...does he have Tom? Oh crap

For once I agree with Katie, I wish I had a rich husband too LOL

Great update Geni!
 
OH, MY GOODNESS.

Can I please kick the ever-loving s*$t out of that guy? Pretty please? And, just to be clear, I'm talking about Waterhouse. Ugh. I hate that guy.

Awesome update! :D
 
Thanks so much for the lovely reviews! :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Undisclosed location, warehouse, 8pm

Tom: *opens eyes, looks around*

Waterhouse: Welcome back.

Tom: *looks at Waterhouse*

Waterhouse: Don't try to struggle, it'll only tire you.

Tom: What do you want?

Waterhouse: The same thing you want. For you to be useful.

Tom: I'm plenty useful.

Waterhouse: *lifts needle* This might help. *sticks needle into Tom's arm*

Tom: *winces* What the hell is that?

Waterhouse: Sodium thiopental. *sits, grabs pen and paper* I'm conducting a narcoanalysis test. Don't worry, it's not dangerous if done correctly.

Tom: Are you charging for the service you're providing me?

Waterhouse: Tell me about yourself.

Tom: Go to hell.

Waterhouse: Let's start with your childhood. Your father was a surgeon.

Tom: *closes eyes*

Waterhouse: I understand he was addicted to morphine. That must have been hard to live with.

Tom: ...A little.

Waterhouse: Did he ever slip you any? Y'know, just to keep you quiet for the night.

Tom: No.

Waterhouse: Interesting. *writes*

Tom: What does all this prove?

Waterhouse: I'm simply trying to help.

Tom: You can help me by letting me go.

Waterhouse: What did he do to you?

Tom: *staring up at ceiling*

Miami Lab

Anni: The muddy footprint near Tom's car. Did you get at match?

Delko: It's a standard loafer. Not really unique.

Anni: It proves there was someone near his car.

Speed: Got a match from the soil.

Anni: And?

Speed: And you shouldn't be here.

Anni: Give me the results.

Speed: *sighs, grabs paper* Soil content was rich with carbon dioxide. Also there were traces of sawgrass and animal hairs, specifically panther.

Anni: *snatches paper* Meaning what.

Speed: You're looking at either The Everglades or Big Cypress National Preserve. I'd go with the latter.

Anni: So we have to set up a search grid, right?

Speed: It's 720 000 acres of swamp.

Anni: *stares at Speed* ...Can't you narrow it down?

Speed: Not without more evidence.

Horatio: *walks over* Scott provided me with a stopwatch given to him by Evan Waterhouse.

Anni: That bastard? He took Tom?

Horatio: I believe so. And the clock's counting down. We have 20 hours.

Anni: To find him? Then what?

Speed: *lowers head*

Delko: *looks at computer screen*

Anni: He's going to kill him?

Horatio: You really shouldn't be here right now, Anni. I'll have someone take you home.

Anni: *places hand on forehead* I-I can't-

Speed: *stands, walks over* Let's go. *takes Anni's hand*

Speed/Anni leave

Horatio: Okay. Eric, take Katie and go to the suspect's home. A warrant won't be far behind. I'm going to get some eyes in the sky.

Delko: Sure H. *walks away*

Warehouse, 11pm

Waterhouse: *writing* Tell me about Lori.

Tom: ...She's my best friend in the whole world. We tell each other everything.

Waterhouse: Why is that?

Tom: She doesn't see me like everyone else. I don't have to hide around her.

Waterhouse: How do you hide around others?

Tom: I try to make it seem like I'm together but I'm not. Especially around my wife.

Waterhouse: Why's that?

Tom: ...I don't want to lose her. I don't want her to think I'm a freak or a loser.

Waterhouse: Why would she think you're a loser?

Tom: I've never been able to commit to anything in my life and why would that change now? It's only a matter of time I burn my bridges with her too.

Waterhouse: But you haven't. You got clean and you created a beautiful family.

Tom: ...They're everything to me.

Waterhouse: Why?

Tom: They make me...happy. *closes eyes* I love them so much.

Waterhouse: *writing*

Tom: ...Please let me go.

Waterhouse: *looks at watch*

Tom: I just want to get back to them.

Waterhouse: Then why were you parked outside a known drug den?

Tom: ...I was overwhelmed by the helicopter accident and my daughter being hurt and Anni being pregnant and-

Waterhouse: Why do you want to die?

Tom: I don't.

Waterhouse: *tilts head*

Tom: I'm just tired of all the shit.

Waterhouse: *nods*

Tom: I'm tired of suffering, I'm tired of watching my wife suffer, I'm tired of watching my friends suffer...I want to raise my family and do my job and be safe and happy at the end of the day.

Waterhouse: *writing*

Tom: *sigh* But you're just going to kill me anyway.

Waterhouse: How do you know that?

Tom: You keep looking at your watch. I assume when our session's over, so am I.

Waterhouse: I'm not an evil man, Tom. I got into my profession to help people.

Tom: Yeah you sure helped Scotty. He almost died. And how about your daughter who was locked up in her house? And her dead mother. Is it because they wouldn't tell you their dirty secrets? They wouldn't cooperate with your twisted experiments? This is a power trip thing for you.

Waterhouse: Is that so.

Tom: Yeah. You're so great with bombs and drugs but you really should work on your knots. *sits up, slams fist into Waterhouse's face*

Waterhouse: AH! *falls over*

TBC....................................
 
Waterhouse got him to talk about the things that bother him, so I guess I should call off the posse, but he still needs his own little white coat. It's interesting to find out that he's felt like he's a loser and that he has to hide from Anni- that's like the one thing he shouldn't do.

Never fear though...He just slammed a fist into Waterhouse's face- now we'll see just how resourceful a lunatic can really be...

Awesome update!
 
Go Tom! Beat the shit out of Waterbed! Lol! Give him a taste of his own medicine! I hope he gets out of there before something else happens to him! !

Great update Geni!
