YEAH! GO TOM!!!

I hope they find him in time. Although, knowing Waterhouse, Tom fighting back was probably part of the plan...

Great update! :D
 
Thanks for the reviews! :)

Miami Lab, 9am

Speed: *staring into microscope*

Katie: *walks over* We tracked down the warehouse.

Speed: You get Tom?

Katie: He wasn't there. Neither was the suspect.

Speed: *lifts head*

Katie: Horatio's still out there in the chopper.

Speed: *nods*

Katie: You think he'll be okay?

Speed: Tom's a resourceful guy and there's a lot of ground to cover. H will find him.

Katie: You're working on another case.

Speed: Yeah.

Katie: Anni's a mess.

Speed: Understandable.

Katie: You act like you don't care.

Speed: *lifts head*

Katie: She's sitting at home and her baby's wondering when her daddy's coming home and you say understandable?

Speed: *blinks* ...If it makes you feel better, I'm actually that baby's father.

Katie: *frowns*

Speed: He'll be fine.

Anni: *stares at Tom*

Tom: *smiling, kisses Anni*

Anni: *sigh*

TBC.................................
 
Tom's such a trooper! Too bad for Waterhouse- he just became some gator's snack. Tit for tat I say. Glad to see that Tom's back with the living, now we'll have to see just exactly where he is psychologically.

On a different note, Speed and katie are getting kinda chummy again...Do I sense a reboot? LOL...that would be great:)

Awesome update!
 
I have to say Speed is right! He is the Father of that baby! I wounder what level him and Katie are on also! Can you kinda elaborate on that! Inquiring minds would like to know!

I think it would be totally funny if Katie came up pregnant! Lol! Seeing how she went on such a tiraid not long ago about not wanting kids around anymore! I could Speed now! Oh Hell not another one! Eric would be like dude can't you keep your pickle in your pocket! lol! Hmm wonder if he would marry he again ! Ha probably not! He'd probably start drinking again!

Why do I feel like that even the Gators wouldn't eat Waterbed! Lol! I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of him! Its only a flesh wound! Lol!

Looks like Tom was happy to see Anni at least! I hope things calm down between them! For god sakes they have a baby on the way! They need some sanity for a while!

Great update Geni !
 
Thanks for the reviews! :D

Airport, 4 days later

Horatio: Okay team, we're off to the Brazilian rainforest to work on our survival skills.

Speed: You're joking, right? You didn't wake us up at 4 in the morning for this.

Horatio: I did. *lifts tickets* I got us a flight.

Colton: But...I don't want to go to the rainforest.

Delko: Do you know how big the bugs are over there?

Calleigh: Are you sure this is safe?

Horatio: It's perfectly safe. I've been through intensive outdoor training so you're in good hands.

Katie: ...You worked for Allstate?

Everyone: *looks at Katie*

Horatio: I took a basic training course before I joined the police force.

Speed: Things have changed since the 1800s.

Katie: *laughs* Good one.

Speed: *smirks*

Horatio: It's a 14 hour flight so you'd better stretch your legs now. *hands out tickets*

Katie: Do we get to pick our seats?

Anni: Oh nice we're on one of those big planes.

Katie: YES!

Horatio: I've already chosen your seats.

Katie: *looks down at ticket* ...I'm sitting by the bathroom?

Speed: *lifts brow* Why do I have to be at the emergency exit?

Horatio: You're strong enough to open the door.

Speed: There won't be an emergency.

Katie: *slaps Speed's arm* Don't jinx us!

Anni: Oooh, I'm beside Tim.

Katie: Let's trade tickets. *grabs at Anni*

Anni: *pulls ticket away* No way, I'm not sitting near the bathroom on a 14 hour flight.

Katie: Eric, I'll switch with you.

Delko: I'm not letting you near my window seat. *walks away*

Katie: Someone trade with me!

Anni: It's not that bad.

Katie: That's because you don't have to sit there.

Anni: *smiles* I'm going to freshen up. *walks away*

Katie: *narrows eyes* I hope you have morning sickness by the time we get on the plane so we'll have to switch seats!

Speed: *grabs Katie's hand* C'mon, let's go get some breakfast.

Katie: *nods*

Restaurant

Katie: *dumps sugar into coffee*

Speed: *looks around*

Katie: *opens sugar packet, dumps it into cup*

Speed: I think you have enough sugar.

Katie: How come you aren't sitting across the booth? Are we waiting for someone?

Speed: I can't sit beside you?

Katie: *shrugs* Figured out wanted that side to yourself so you can see the magnificent beauty that is my face.

Speed: *smirks*

Katie: *dumps sugar* You excited for the jungle safari?

Speed: Not really.

Katie: Might be fun. I think Horatio's checking in a bunch of tents and stuff.

Speed: I don't see why we couldn't camp out here.

Katie: The airport?

Speed: The country.

Katie: *smiles, looks at Speed* You afraid of the big bad forest?

Speed: I'm too old for the big bad forest.

Katie: Ah nonsense. You're only as old as you feel.

Speed: I feel old.

Katie: Too bad. *opens sugar package*

Speed: *takes sugar* Would you like some coffee to go with that?

Katie: *looks down at cup*

Speed: I'm sure you'll be interesting enough for all the passengers on the plane without the extra help.

Katie: Here, you have some. *lifts cup*

Speed: I don't drink coffee.

Katie: It's good.

Speed: No thanks.

Katie: I promise I didn't pour vodka into it this time.

Speed: Why don't I go see if I can change my seat. *stands, walks away*

Biscayne Park, house, 8am

Brook: *sneezes*

Tom: *hands over kleenex*

Brook: *sneezes*

Tom: What's your problem?

Brook: *holds head* Sick.

Tom: You can't be sick. You've already been sick once this year.

Brook: *coughs*

Tom: What does Mom usually give you?

Brook: Medicine.

Tom: What kind?

Brook: *shrugs, coughs*

Tom: *walks over to cupboard, opens it*

Brook: *coughing*

Tom: Uh...*grabs bottles* which one is it?

Brook: *sneezes*

Tom: I know it's not aspirin.

Brook: *rubs nose*

Tom: Uh...right. Okay, no problem. I just have to go to the pharmacy. *walks over to table, picks up Brook*

Brook: *coughing*

Tom: *places hand on Brook's forehead* You're pretty warm.

Brook: *holds throat* Daddy it hurts.

Tom: I'm going to fix it, okay?

Brook: *nods*

Tom: Let's take a drive.

Pharmacy

Tom: *staring at wall*

Brook: *coughing*

Tom: Huh. There's a lot of stuff. Do you see the stuff Mom gives you?

Brook: *shakes head*

Tom: Great. *pulls out cellphone, dials*

Brook: *coughs*

Tom: Hey, Scotty, I have a question.

Brook: *wipes nose*

Tom: What am I supposed to give Brook for the flu? ...*looks at wall* There's purple ones and blue ones.

Brook: *coughs*

Tom: I don't know their names, I'm not a doctor. I mean, not unless we're talking about the good stuff but I don't think Anni would like it if I gave Brook some heroin. Can't you come down here and help?

APL Manhattan, 30th floor

Scott: *walks around desk, holding folder* It's not rocket science, Tom. If you don't feel comfortable buying any medicine, there are some home remedies that might make her feel better.

Bob: *steps in*

Scott: *lifts eyes* I might be able to stop by later today between meetings.

Pharmacy

Tom: Thanks. Bring knowledge. *snaps phone shut* Okay, let's get 'em all.

Brook: *nods*

TBC...................................
 
ALRIGHT! An RT! LOL...I cannot wait to see what they get into , although, the hilarity scale will be stretched WAY before they even take off. Case in point, Katie and her coffee flavored sugar drink. Yeah...she's going to be nice and calm during the 14HR flight. I seriously feel for everyone involved.

LOL....Poor Tom, he's got his hands full for the first time. It's hilarious, yet cute that he's so clueless, and the jaded father Scotty's like...Guh, it doesn't take a PhD. I think this is going to be cute.

Awesome update!
 
Well Well Well! I guess this should be an interesting plane trip! I wonder if Katie and Speed will be joining the ever popular, but oh so infamous Mile High club? It is a 14 hour trip you know! Lol! I think Speed was getting a little geared up while they were in that booth together!

You should have sent Stetler with them! Lol! It would have been even more funny! lol!

Poor Tom he should have went on this RT hes never been on a trip with the whole Hee Haw gang before! Why didn't you let him go with them ! He could have gotten Lori to watch Brook while they were gone ! Just think about it! The thought of interjecting Tom into the RT gang on one of there fun filled frolics! I'm not sure he could survive the psychological torment that only they can produce on these outing!

I hope Speed and Katie finally find each other on this trip they need to stop dancing around each other and get it together in the right way! You know they Love each other! Just Let it be!

Great update Geni!
 
Thanks for the reviews! :D

:devil:

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

Biscayne Park, house

Tom: *places hands on hips* How 'bout it?

Scott: *staring at table* ...You bought all of it?

Tom: Yeah. Well, most of every kind.

Scott: You realize the majority of these have the same ingredients, right?

Tom: *scratches head* I guess we have enough to last a lifetime then.

Scott: *picks up box* This one will do just fine.

Tom: Great, how much do I give her?

Scott: ...You're kidding me, right?

Tom: *stares at Scott*

Scott: Alright, look. *opens box* There are set doses on the backs of these for different ages. This is how much you'd have to give Brook.

Tom: No.

Scott: *looks at Tom*

Tom: I'm not giving her that much.

Scott: It's not a lot.

Tom: Did the government think this up?

Scott: ...It's children's cold medicine.

Tom: I'm not putting that in my child.

Scott: Then keep her full of fluids. I find gatorade works the best. Honey helps relieve some of the pain.

Tom: What happens if the fever gets too high?

Scott: Go with your gut. If it's too high, take her to the hospital.

Tom: What if my gut's off?

Scott: *lifts box* Just keep giving her this, it'll keep the fever down.

Tom: How often?

Scott: Read the box.

Tom: What if the box is wrong? All kids are different.

Scott: You need to chill out about all this.

Tom: I don't want Anni to come home to a dead child.

Scott: You're not that irresponsible.

Tom: Easy for you to say, you can just buy more children.

Scott: Things'll be fine. *walks over to door*

Tom: Where are you going?

Scott: Back to work.

Tom: You can't stay longer?

Scott: *looks back*

Tom: I don't think I'm the man for this.

Scott: I think you're the perfect man for this. *opens door, walks away*

Tom: *lifts brow*

Plane

Speed: *sits*

Katie: Oh good, you got your seat changed.

Speed: Yeah.

Katie: We're almost ready to take off, what took so long?

Speed: Horatio got held up at security. Apparently he didn't understand that he couldn't take a gun on the plane.

Katie: Was that how he was planning on protecting us in the jungle? We should have just brought Lori with us.

Speed: *opens magazine*

Katie: You don't want the window seat?

Speed: No.

Katie: Afraid of heights?

Speed: I'm fine where I am.

Katie: Okay then, suit yourself.

20 minutes later

Flight Attendant: Would you like anything to eat or drink?

Katie: *lifts head, smiles* I'll have some whiskey please.

Flight Attendant: Sure thing.

Speed: *frowns*

Flight Attendant: And for you, sir?

Speed: I'm good.

Flight Attendant: *pours whiskey*

Katie: How much for it?

Flight Attendant: 3 dollars.

Katie: Great. *opens purse, takes out money*

Flight Attendant: *hands over cup, takes money*

Katie: Thanks.

Flight Attendant: *walks away*

Katie: *drinks* Mm smooth.

Speed: *frowning*

Katie: *sighs*

Speed: *looks around*

Katie: Oh geez. *looks at Speed* I forgot.

Speed: Funny.

Katie: I'll get rid of all this. *downs whiskey*

Speed: You expect me to believe you didn't do this on purpose?

Katie: It really did slip my mind, I'm sorry. I'm a bit of a nervous flyer, it helps.

Speed: I bet.

Katie: *grabs Speed's hand*

Biscayne Park, house, 5pm

Lori: *walks in* What's up with the 50 calls?

Tom: Brook won't eat anything. She should be eating, right?

Lori: Um...start from the beginning.

Tom: Brook has the flu. She won't eat. I don't know what to do, what should I do?

Lori: Is her fever okay?

Tom: I think so, I mean she's not as warm.

Lori: Then keep her hydrated and when she gets an appetite, she'll eat.

Tom: What if she never wants to eat?

Lori: Tom, you can't shove food down her throat and she won't die if she misses a meal. You need to calm down and let her get over this.

Tom: *sighs, rubs forehead*

Lori: It's okay, I was completely terrified when Steph first got sick. I was a nervous wreck.

Tom: She's supposed to rely on me and I don't know what the hell I'm doing. She may as well be alone.

Lori: There's no parenting manual. I learned that pretty quickly. That said, I think Brook would be worse off if you weren't concerned about her well-being.

Tom: *nods*

Lori: I'm sure you're doing great. *smirks*

Tom: Thanks.

Lori: May I go home now?

Tom: No.

Lori: *laughs* I'm leaving. *walks away*

Tom: *crosses arms*

TBC................................
 
Lol! Poor Tom He can't get anyone to stay and help him out! I feel sorry for him! I just hope he doesn't screw something up or he will be in hot water with Anni & Speed when they get back! If they make it out of the rain forest that is! By the way, Why in gods name would you take a pregnant woman to the rain forest in the first place?

Speaking of Speed! Katie sure is trying to get him into trouble again! She needs to just stop it with the booze!

Note to Speed : Uh you are gonna have to find other ways to calm her down if shes a nervous flier! You can't be around the booze or you are gonna fall off the wagon again, and you have been doing oh so well ! KEEP KATIE OCCUPIED!

Great update Geni !
 
I find it kinda cute that Tom's spazzing over the care of Brook. It shows that he cares and that he's just really cute flustered. I happen to think that Brook's going to come out of it fine and Tom's going to be all like...I did it... YAY...Well...not the yay part, but you get my drift.

Katie's afraid to fly...She could...take a nap...talk people to death, turn cartwheels,...or heres a novel idea... Not drunk a cup of sugar with her coffee...It was a bit irresponsible of her to do that. Maybe she can be a bit more careful next time.

One spot that had me har har hardying was when Speed explained why they were so late:
.
Katie: We're almost ready to take off, what took so long?

Speed: Horatio got held up at security. Apparently he didn't understand that he couldn't take a gun on the plane
Click to expand...


Some how, I could see that...

Hilarious...pure hilarious!
 
Like this group really needs survival training... they've done well for themselves so far... :lol: :lol:

Tom's so cute as a nervous dad. I love that he keeps calling Scott and Lori... how sweet. :D

Yay for a trip! Can't wait to see what they get into this time...

Great updates! :D
 
Thanks for the reviews! :D Hee!

Speed: *opens eyes*

Katie: *kicks seat*

Speed: *looks at Katie*

Katie: *kicks seat*

Colton: *looks back* STOP KICKING MY SEAT!

Katie: I wasn't doing it.

Colton: You're the only one behind me.

Katie: Tim did it.

Colton: Tim's not an idiot.

Katie: Sure he is.

Speed: You've been at this for the last 7 hours. If you don't stop, you'll be arrested when we land.

Katie: I'm bored.

Speed: Watch a movie.

Katie: In-flight movies always blow. OH! I know what would make this more fun. A sing-a-long!

Speed: No.

Katie: Who's with me!

Everyone: NO.

Katie: *sinks in seat, crosses arms* I'm stuck in a tin can with 250 party poopers.

Speed: Read a book or something.

Katie: I left all my good books at home.

Speed: *lifts brow* ...Your porn?

Katie: It's not porn, it's erotica.

Speed: Oh okay so because it doesn't have pictures, it's not porn.

Katie: Exactly.

Speed: Read some real books.

Katie: *grabs magazine from seat* Fine, I'll read this safety manual.

Speed: Good. *opens book*

Katie: *flips page* Wow these guys look really happy to be plummeting to their deaths.

Speed: *lifts eyes*

Katie: You think any of these people are shitting themselves? I would be. That's it, I'm drawing a more acurate safety manual. You got a pen?

Speed: I-

Katie: Nah it's okay, I got one. *opens purse*

Speed: *frowns*

Katie: Pressure change.

Speed: *nods slowly* And the uh...big guy flying down the aisle?

Katie: He just came from the bathroom. I bet he wished he'd stayed. *laughs*

Speed: You're demented.

Katie: Hey, if you're going to teach safety, don't sugar coat the ending right?

Speed: Uh huh.

Katie: *takes manual back* Want to go have sex?

Speed: *looks at Katie*

Katie: *smiles* I hear it's extra kinky up here.

Speed: No thank you.

Katie: *takes off seatbelt, crawls over Speed* I'll be in the bathroom. Meet me there in 4 minutes, 32 seconds.

Speed: Why 4 minutes, 32 seconds?

Katie: That's how long it'll take me to get comfortable. *walks away*

Speed: *shakes head*

20 minutes later

Speed: *walks over to bathroom, knocks on door* Katie, get out here. Stop being ridiculous.

Katie: *opens door a crack* You ready?

Speed: No. Get back to your seat.

Katie: *smiles* Oooh, you say that like a cop.

Speed: *opens door, grabs Katie* Stop it. *shuts door* Go sit down.

Katie: *walks away*

Speed: *angry sigh*

Back of plane

Katie: *sits*

Speed: *walks over, sits*

Katie: *bounces up and down* I BROUGHT CARDS! LET'S PLAY TEXAS HOLD 'EM!

Speed: *grabs Katie, covers her mouth*

Katie: *blinks*

Speed: Enough. I've had it. Shut your face.

Katie: *stares blankly*

Speed: Please.

Katie: *nods*

Speed: *lets go, leans back in seat*

Katie: You need a drink.

Speed: Yeah. I do. But we don't always get what we want so do me a favor and sit still for the next 7 hours.

Katie: I'll try.

Speed: Thank you.

Miami restaurant, 11am

Lori: *picks at chicken* So how's Brook?

Brook: *wipes nose* Sick.

Lori: *smirks*

Tom: It was a long night.

Lori: I bet.

Brook: *drinks orange juice*

Lori: You work today?

Tom: I'm supposed to but I can't drop Brook off at daycare while she's sick. Apparently they don't like that.

Lori: I could take her.

Tom: *lifts eyes* ...You hate kids. Especially kids that don't belong to you.

Lori: Steph's at school and Dom's at daycare, I wouldn't mind hangin' out with Brook for a few hours.

Tom: I love you.

Lori: *smiles* It's no problem. *looks at Brook* Excited to hang out with me?

Brook: *smiles, nods*

Lori: Great!

Tom: You seem happy today.

Lori: What can I say, I'm having more good days than bad lately. *drinks water*

Tom: Why's that?

Lori: I don't know but I'm not about to question it. How much do I owe you for lunch?

Tom: *lifts brow* You invited me.

Lori: Oh. So I did. Well don't worry about it then.

Tom: *lowers head*

Lori: You okay?

Tom: Yeah.

Lori: *narrows eyes* Spill.

Tom: *leans over table* ...That Waterhouse guy...I told him everything.

Lori: *stares at Tom*

Tom: It was like this...twisted therapy session.

Lori: How'd he get it out of you? Truth serum?

Tom: *stares at Lori*

Lori: *blinks* That is twisted.

Tom: The thing is...once I got it all off my chest, I felt...relieved? I don't know, I think in a strange way, it helped.

Lori: *nods*

Tom: Stupid, huh.

Lori: No.

Tom: *lifts eyes*

Lori: I'm sure he had a reason to get that all out of you and it probably wasn't to help.

Tom: Yeah.

Lori: Why don't I take this pretty little one off your hands so you can get to work. *places money on table*

Tom: Thanks again.

Lori: Anytime. *picks up Brook, walks away*

Tom: *stares down at table*

TBC......................................
 
Tom's disturbed. Even though he's released all of that past history and self doubts, it's still hanging over him. I still think he needs to talk about Anni, and maybe that will make him feel better.

Speaking of feeling better...I bet if Speed clocked Katie, that would make him feel better. Poor Speed though, he's on edge and he's acknowledged that he needs a drink. I hope that he's not about to fall off the wagon. He's been doing so well...

Awesome update!
 
Well I guess Speed has had enough! Somebody lock up the liquor and beer Please! Speed has had enough! Lol! If I was katie i would put on a parachute and shut up! If she keep it up shes gonna need that chute when Speed throws her ass out of the plane! lol! I guess the Kum-by-ya pit is not to popular with the crowd!

Whats up with Lori! Shes being all cheery and shit! Oh lord ! is she pregnant again!

Great update Geni!
