Biscayne Park, house, bedroom, 2am

Anni: *rolls over, pokes Tom*

Tom: *eyes closed*

Anni: *kisses Tom*

Tom: *smirks*

Anni: *smiles* I know it's late but I was thinking...

Tom: You're supposed to be sleeping, not thinking.

Anni: We should have more children.

Tom: *opens eyes*

Anni: Of our own.

Tom: *looks at Anni*

Anni: I know that's what you want.

Tom: We already spoke to the doctor, she said it wasn't a good idea.

Anni: Not for me. But...we can do the surrogate thing. Right?

Tom: I guess. Sure.

Anni: Would you want to?

Tom: *stares at Anni*

Anni: *lifts brows*

Tom: *smiles*

Anni: Yay! *grabs Tom's cheeks, kisses him*

Tom: *laughs*

Anni: It's going to be great.

Tom: Yeah.

Anni: *lies down*

Tom: *wraps arm around Anni*

Anni: *sigh*

Cellphone rings

Anni: Yours or mine?

Tom: Mine. *reaches over to nightstand, opens phone* Yeah.

Anni: *looks at Tom*

Tom: *looks at watch* What's the address? ...Okay. I'll be right there. *closes phone*

Anni: Crime scene?

Tom: *nods* I'll call you once I make heads or tails of what happened. Hopefully by then I'll know if I'm working overtime. *sits up, grabs shirt*

Anni: *nods*

Liberty City, 3am

Tom: *shuts door*

Alexx: *lifts head*

Tom: What do we have?

Alexx: John Shumacker, 45 years old. 6 shots to the front.

Tom: *kneels* Tourist.

Alexx: *looks at Tom*

Tom: First rule when you get to Miami. Never ever wander if you don't know where you're going. I learned that the hard way. *tilts head, points* What's that under his body?

Alexx: Looks like a cellphone. *pulls phone out*

Tom: *takes phone, looks down* Last outgoing call was to Emergency Services.

Alexx: He tried to call for help.

Car screeches around the corner

Tom: *lifts head*

Bullets fly

Tom: *yanks Alexx down, pulls out gun*

Alexx: *covers head*

Tom: *stands, pulls trigger*

BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM

Bullets fly

Tom: *ducks*

Alexx: The evidence!

Tom: Get the hell over to the truck!

Alexx: *crawls*

Tom: *pulls trigger*

BAM BAM BAM

Car speeds away

Tom: *lowers gun*

Alexx: *stands, wipes pants*

Tom: You okay?

Alexx: Yeah. Can't say the same for our crime scene. *looks back* Body's been ravaged.

Tom: Gangs.

Alexx: You think they killed our tourist?

Tom: I think they want us out of their neighborhood.

TBC........................
 
TOM! OO ACK! Good thing Tom was around though...Alexx would've been swiss cheese. He's becoming such the good guy and that makes him SMOKIN' HOT. :) And he and Anni are going to have another baby (via surrogate,but we get it where we can take it!) So very awesome! So much happiness...I can't help but think that there's something looming behind that big ass sunshine and rainbow...lol.

Awesome update!
 
OH NO! Poor Tom, he can't get away from the bullets.

YAY! For Anni & Tom...another baby! :D

Great updates Geni! Can't wait to read more
 
Way to go Super Tom ! Hey Tom don't be like Speed and forget to clean your damn gun or you want be save nobody's ass including your own!

Now why do have the feeling that the babies mama is gonna be somebody we all know!

Great update Geni!
 
*dances*

Thanks for the reviews!

Miami Beach, noon

Lori: *chases Steph* You better run!

Steph: *jumps into water*

Lori: *smiles, swings Steph into arms*

Steph: *giggles*

Lori: Gotcha! *kissing Steph's cheeks*

Steph: *squeals, splashes at Lori*

Lori: *laughs*

Scott: *stares at Lori*

Lori: Okay, get back onto the beach!

Steph: *jumps down, runs*

Lori: *runs*

Steph: *jumps into sand* Momma, help me make a sandcastle!

Lori: *smiles* Okay. Where's your bucket?

Steph: Over here. *grabs bucket*

Lori: Fill it with some of that wet sand.

Steph: *pats sand into bucket*

Scott: *places Dominick into lap*

30 minutes later

Lori: *molding sandcastle*

Steph: *smiles* Daddy, look! *points to large sandcastle* You like?

Scott: Maybe you should put more supports. It doesn't seem structurally sound.

Lori: *lifts eyes*

Scott: What do I know, I'm a data analyst.

Dominick: *crawls into sand, tosses sand*

Lori: *smooths sand*

Steph: Daddy come help!

Scott: *walks over, sits* What do you want me to do?

Steph: Make this part better. *grabs Scott's hand, pushes it into sandcastle*

Scott: *smirks*

Lori: *staring at sandcastle*

Steph: *crawls away*

Dominick: *throws sand*

Steph: No throwing!

Dominick: *frowns*

Near sandcastle

Lori: *tilts head* Does it need more spires? Nah, it's pretty. Right?

Scott: *staring at Lori* Beautiful.

Lori: *looks at Scott*

Scott: *smiles*

Lori: *rolls eyes* Lame. *pushes Scott*

Scott: *laughs*

Lori: Here, why don't you help me up.

Scott: *stands, extends hand*

Lori: *stands, staggers sideways* AH!

Scott: *grabs onto Lori*

Lori: *falls into sandcastle*

Scott: Ah! *falls over*

Lori: *coughs*

Scott: *looks down*

Lori: I guess the castle's ruined.

Scott: *brushes hair from Lori's face*

Lori: *stares at Scott*

Scott: *leans closer*

Lori: *lifts arm*

Scott: *grabs Lori's arm* Lori, it's bad enough Dominick throws sand.

Lori: *smiles* Damn. *drops sand*

TBC................................
 
oh aww...Nice family time! This is what should be going on instead of fighthing with each other. Just one day at the beach seems like a great alternative to what they are going through. I think some headway was made...

Awesome update!
 
Aww... Now we know where Dom gets his throwing from... :lol:

Steph is still so cute. :D

I really hope Scott and Lori can work things out. I also hope that Tom lives long enough to have kids with Anni... :lol:

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

Miami Lab, break room, 3 days later

Tom: *chewing pen, staring at paper*

Lori: *steps over, knocks on door*

Tom: *lifts head*

Lori: Hey.

Tom: What's up?

Lori: I was supposed to meet my father for lunch but he's still in the lab so I thought I'd stop by here and wait.

Tom: *nods* Have a seat.

Lori: *walks over, sits* What are you working on?

Tom: Surrogate forms.

Lori: *lifts brow* How thoughtful of you. You do realize men can't have babies, right?

Tom: It's not for me.

Lori: *smiles*

Tom: *flips page*

Lori: So you and Anni are looking into a surrogate, that's pretty cool.

Tom: Yeah.

Lori: ...It's not pretty cool?

Tom: *shrugs* I don't know, I'd just rather have Anni be the one to carry my child, y'know?

Lori: *starts to laugh*

Tom: *looks at Lori*

Lori: *laughing* I'm sorry, I can't believe you just put all those words in the same sentence.

Tom: *stares at Lori*

Lori: *smile fades* ...I'm sure it'll work out.

Tom: I don't know if I feel right about some stranger offering herself as a human incubator.

Lori: People do it all the time. And if it's the safest route for Anni, I think you should go for it.

Tom: *looks down at paper*

Lori: *stares at Tom*

Tom: *lifts eyes* ...What?

Lori: *smiles* I was just thinking about the night we first met.

Tom: ...What about it.

Lori: It's hard to believe you're the same guy.

Tom: I am. *closes folder*

Lori: How?

Speed: *walks in*

Delko: *follows* You can't seriously expect me to process 78 prints, most of which are partials, by the way while you get handed the interviews.

Speed: Right because trying to get answers from people is so much easier than trying to get answers from a computer.

Delko: Fine, we'll switch.

Speed: Fingerprints are your thing.

Delko: *laughs* It never ends with you, does it.

Speed: *snaps fingers* Lori, outside.

Lori: *stands, walks away*

Delko: Let's split the prints.

Speed: I'm going to have lunch. *slaps Eric on the back, walks away*

Delko: *turns around* I hope the next case I work has mountains of trace to process!

Restaurant, booth

Lori: *sips water*

Speed: *staring outside*

Lori: You didn't invite Mom?

Speed: I wanted to have a peaceful lunch.

Lori: Good point. You know, she spent all morning telling me about her late night ventures in the bedroo-HEY what are you having for lunch?

Speed: *looks at Lori*

Lori: *clears throat, opens menu* I like chicken.

Speed: She told you what?

Lori: I wonder what the soup of the day is.

Speed: *frowns*

Lori: Oooh potato.

Speed: *shakes head*

TBC....................................
 
How come I get a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach about Lori's knowledge of Tom and Anni's intentions? And the fact that she reminiced *sp,but who cares, it's two in the am*...about their first time together isn't leaving me very encouraged. I just hope that Tom possesses the ablitity to say no to Lori. Crossing fingers on that one...

Katie>.> I was going to forgo a memo so late...but *sigh*, she pulls it right out of me...

Memo to Katie:

Seriously, should you be detailing your adventures in the bedroom with Speed...with your daughter? Your, addled, addictive daughter that has some serious Daddy issues already? Clearly, you bumped your head on the head board one too many times. Sweetie, next time, just keep it to yourself. You'd probably been better off discussing what Speed did ...and did well, I thank you... with Anni... It probably would've been a little less ...awkward. Well, probably not, but I'm sure we wouldn't be pondering decency over, now would we? Just food for thought , dear.


LOL

Awesome update!
 
YAY! Delko & Speed bantering :D

Katie just needs to keep her mouth shut when it comes to her bedroom habits, especially when she is telling her daughter

HMMMM....why is Lori thinking about the first time her & Tom met...

Great update Geni!
 
Thanks so much for the reviews! :)

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

Restaurant booth, 1:30pm

Speed: You going over to see the kids tonight?

Lori: Yeah, Scott and I are taking them to the playground.

Speed: *nods*

Lori: *smiles* I can't wait to see them.

Speed: Lori, there's a reason I took you out for lunch.

Lori: Yeah? What's that?

Speed: I found out about your second job.

Lori: *smile fades* ...I don't know what you're talking about.

Speed: Some of the patrol guys...went to a bachelor party at a strip club on Flagler. You were there. And before you tell me otherwise, I've seen the pictures.

Lori: *stares at Speed*

Speed: You've been working at a clothing store by day and a strip club at night.

Lori: *lowers head*

Speed: I just want to know why.

Lori: ...The money's good.

Speed: For what? Your habit?

Lori: *lifts head* No, Daddy I'm clean. I just don't want to be supported by Scott my entire life. It's a job like any other.

Speed: It's not the best.

Lori: I'm good at what I do.

Speed: You're good at a lot more than taking off your clothes for men.

Lori: *leans back in booth, crosses arms* You already told Scott.

Speed: No. I haven't told anyone.

Lori: Let me guess. I'm telling Scott.

Speed: You're not required to by law or anything but he is your husband.

Lori: We're separated. It's none of his business where I work.

Speed: You realize it's not exactly a healthy environment for your sobriety.

Lori: I'm aware.

Speed: *sigh*

Parkinglot

Lori: *walks over to truck*

Speed: *opens door*

Lori: Thanks.

Speed: Be careful, Lori.

Lori: *looks at Speed*

Speed: *wraps arm around Lori*

Lori: *blinks*

Speed: Love you.

Lori: ...I love you too, Dad.

Speed: *lets go* Drive safe.

Lori: I will. *gets into truck, shuts door*

Speed: *angry sigh*

Flagler, 9pm

Lori: *jumps out of truck, looks at watch*

Parkinglot, inside car

Tom: *staring at folder* Managed to track down our victim's last known location.

Ryan: Gentleman's club?

Tom: Yeah.

Ryan: Doesn't really explain what he was doing in Liberty City.

Tom: You take the perimeter, I'll question the staff.

Ryan: ...Why don't I get to go in the strip club?

Tom: You're not discreet enough.

Ryan: *stares at Tom*

Tom: I look like I'm supposed to be there. You...not so much.

Ryan: *frowns*

Inside club

Tom: *leans on bar* You get a lot of tourists?

Manager: Sure. Everyone comes to Miami looking for a good time. *smiles* Especially the rich ones.

Tom: *nods* I don't suppose you have a list of names.

Manager: *smile fades* ...Look, I don't want to start any trouble here but our clients are promised their anonymity. We have a don't ask, don't tell policy. It's important in a place like this. But hey, I could have sworn I've seen you here before.

Tom: *pulls out photo* You see this guy?

Manager: *takes photo* Uh...well to be honest, a lot of guys look like that when they come in here. They like to keep a low profile.

Tom: *looks across room* ...

Manager: *lifts brow* Hello? *waves hand*

Tom: May I speak to your employees?

Manager: Do you have a warrant?

Tom: *looks at Manager* You want to be shut down for 24 hours?

Manager: *sigh* Alright.

Tom: *walks away*

Across room, hallway

Tom: *grabs Lori's arm*

Lori: *frowns, turns around* What the hell do y....*frown fades* Tom?

Tom: What are you doing here?

Lori: *looks around*

Tom: How long have you been working here?

Lori: About a month, look, I have to get back there. *walks away*

Tom: *takes Lori's hand* Does Scott know about this?

Lori: *rips arm away, leaves*

Tom: *stares down hallway*

TBC.....................................
 
*SIGH* *Shakes head* OMG...LORI! Couldn't she find something else to do? She's a wiz at organizational skills, she can tell folks what to do....I just dont know what to say...I'm at a loss for words. Will she ever get it right? Will she be able to get her kids? Will she want to be with Scott again? I just have a bunch of questions and no answers...It's heartbreaking, I can tell you that... She was doing so well... *sigh*....


Great update, Geni!
