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

Biscayne Park, house, 4:30pm

Speed: *picks up Brook*

Brook: *smiles*

Speed: *smirks* There's that pretty smile.

Tom: You're not holding her right.

Speed: *looks at Tom* She hasn't landed on the floor, therefore I'm holding her properly.

Tom: You should support her bottom.

Speed: She's plenty supported.

Anni: Do you guys have to argue about everything?

Tom: He's going to break her.

Speed: I'm not going to break her.

Doorbell rings

Anni: Be right back. *walks away*

Tom: She doesn't like being held like that.

Speed: *places Brook into high chair* Sure she doesn't.

Foyer

Anni: *opens door, smiles* Oh hey Scott, how are y-

Scott: *walks in* Carter!

Anni: *turns around*

Living room

Scott: CARTER!

Tom: It's not C-

Scott: *slams fist into Tom's face*

Tom: Ugh! *falls backwards*

Scott: *grabs Tom by the shirt, pushes him against wall*

Tom: Get him off of me!

Scott: Why, you afraid to fight someone your own size?

Speed: *grabs Scott* Knock it off. C'mon!

Tom: Yeah, get lost!

Scott: You put your hands on my wife!

Anni/Speed: *look at Tom*

Tom: She should have shut her big mouth!

Scott: YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO TOUCH HER!

Speed: *pulls Scott back* Whoa, hold on. Let's all calm down.

Tom: Yeah, piss off.

Scott: *grabs Tom, swings fist*

Tom: *lifts arm*

Speed: HEY! HEY! Enough! *yanks Scott back*

Scott: Where the hell do you get off hurting her! She stuck out her neck for you! Hell, she actually loved you for reasons beyond my comprehension! And you beat her down like a dog, you fucking piece of shit! You aren't worth the paper you wipe your ass with!

Tom: Did you think that up on the way over here or did Lori write it for you?

Scott: I'm gonna snap your little neck. *steps forward*

Speed: *pushes Scott, steps between* No one's going to snap anyone's neck. What exactly happened?

Tom: Lori told me Anni had a miscarriage.

Anni: *blinks* So you hit her?

Tom: I was upset.

Anni: ...Upset. What the hell's wrong with you?

Speed: Scott, outside.

Scott: *staring at Tom*

Speed: Go on.

Scott: *walks away*

Speed: *looks at Tom*

Tom: *rubs neck*

Anni: *shakes head* I can't believe this. *picks up Brook, walks upstairs*

Speed: *walks away*

Tom: *straightens out shirt*

Outside

Speed: *walks over*

Scott: *lies forehead against car*

Speed: You okay?

Scott: No.

Speed: You want to take a drive?

Scott: *shakes head, pops pill into mouth*

Speed: Have a seat in the car.

20 minutes later, inside car

Speed: *looks at Scott* You alright?

Scott: *staring blankly*

Speed: Scott.

Scott: *blinks slowly* ...I'm...fine.

Speed: You seem a little out of it. You mind telling me what you took?

Scott: It's in the...console.

Speed: *opens console, picks up bottle* Diazepam.

Scott: *nods*

Speed: I'll take you home. *turns key*

Scott: *lies head against window*

Gables Estates, house, 5:30pm

Speed: *walks in, drags Scott*

Lori: *looks over* What happened? *stands, walks over*

Speed: Nothing. I brought him back.

Lori: *places hands on Scott's cheeks* Did he take something?

Speed: Yeah.

Lori: Scott, wake up.

Speed: Why don't we sit him down.

Living room

Speed: *pushes Scott onto couch*

Katie: What's wrong with him?

Lori: *sits*

Speed: The situation's over.

Lori: *strokes Scott's cheek, sighs* Scotty.

Scott: *opens eyes*

Lori: *smirks* Hey.

Scott: ...I'm sorry.

Lori: *runs hand through Scott's hair* I wish I could say it's okay but...look at you.

Scott: *sigh*

Katie: He's joining the ranks of the screwed ones.

Lori: *frowns* Shut up, Mother.

Katie: Well it's true.

TBC..............................
 
This could've been worst than it really was, although poor Scott's out of it. I hate to say it, but RT Katie's right, he is joining the ranks of the screwed up ones. I guess it's a if yoiu can't beat 'em , join 'em kinda thing, LOL. Not to make light of Scotty's situation, but honestly, there's not one character who doesn't have something going on with them. That's pretty cool...makes for sure that there will always be something jumping off...

Speaking of...What's going to happen between TOm and Anni...She withheld info from him, he basically committed the worst crime possible...what's going to go down between them?

I CANNOT wait for more! Awesome update!
 
Well I guess Tom should be glad Speed was there to save his but from his boyfriends wrath! Now I'm surprised that Speed didn't let Scott go and help beat the shit out of him! Well I'm sure this latest fiasco isn't gonna get all the wrinkles ironed out very easily!

Great Update Geni
 
Katie has such a way with words, doesn't she? :lol:

I agree with Flash... Tom should be glad Speed was there. A P.O.'d Scotty who's having murderous thoughts? Man, I would not want to be on the wrong side of that!

I'm glad Speed was kind enough to drive Scott home.

Great update! :D
 
OH WOW! I go away for a few hours and so much happens. YAY for Scott going to beat the shit out of Tom. If I was Speed I would have knocked the shit out of him too though

Katie....sex is not the most important thing in a relationship

Great updates Geni!
 
Thanks so much for the reviews!

Miami Beach, café, 30 days later

Lori: *sits at table, sips iced tea*

Tom: *walks over, sits*

Lori: *lifts eyes*

Tom: *stares at Lori*

Lori: You forget where the lab is?

Tom: I wanted to apologize.

Lori: Little late for that.

Tom: *nods*

Lori: I thought you changed. Apparently I was wrong.

Tom: Lori, I treat you exactly the same way I would any man. So I'm not really interested in hearing some PC don't hurt a woman bullshit. I was angry and I took it out on you, point blank. You didn't deserve it and I was wrong but shit happens so can the 'I thought I saw something in you' garbage.

Lori: *nods* Okay. You're a jackass.

Tom: Better.

Lori: How does Anni feel about it?

Tom: She's still pissed. At least she's talking to me again. What about Scott, does he still want to kill me?

Lori: He checked himself into a psych hospital. He's been gone a month.

Tom: *nods slowly*

Lori: Don't feel too honored, it wasn't your fault.

Tom: The big question becomes...while the husband's away, will Lori play?

Lori: *frowns*

Tom: *smirks, grabs Lori's iced tea*

Lori: You think you're real funny.

Tom: *sips tea, winks*

Lori: I have too many damned things to do. 'Playing' is not one of them.

Tom: Right. Because that's stopped you before.

Lori: *stares at Tom*

Tom: *slides glass over*

Lori: *takes glass* Is that an invitation?

Tom: No.

Lori: *drinks iced tea*

Tom: Why, you want it to be?

Lori: *glaring* No.

Tom: *laughs* You think I want to sleep with you. That's rich.

Lori: I'd rather rip my eyes out with rusty hooks.

Tom: Keep telling yourself that.

Lori: *stands* I'm going home. *walks away*

Parkinglot

Lori: *pulls out keys*

Tom: *leans on truck*

Lori: *frowns* Can I help you?

Tom: You're double parked.

Lori: So?

Tom: *smiles* That's grounds for a ticket, isn't it?

Lori: It's a shame I don't see any cops around.

Tom: Funny.

Lori: *opens truck door*

Tom: *ducks*

Lori: Apology accepted. Go away.

Tom: *places arm on door* I'll make it up to you.

Lori: Just keep your fists to yourself. That's all I ask.

Tom: *nods*

Lori: Thank you.

Psychiatric facility, atrium, 10am

Scott: *staring out window*

Waterhouse: *steps over* Scott?

Scott: *turns head*

Waterhouse: Could you do me a favour? I need to run so I need someone to watch an admission.

Scott: There's staff for that.

Waterhouse: I think she would feel more comfortable out here.

Scott: I didn't come here to babysit.

Waterhouse: You'll like her. *looks back* Melissa!

Melissa: *smiles, walks over*

Waterhouse: Just sit here for a little bit. I'll be right back.

Melissa: Sure. *sits*

Waterhouse: *walks away*

Melissa: *extends hand, smiling* Melissa Weaver.

Scott: *staring out window*

Melissa: *grabs Scott's hand, shakes it* I'm new.

Scott: *pulls hand away*

Melissa: *looks out window* What are we lookin' at? Oh my, what a beautiful courtyard. *looks at Scott* Have you been out there yet?

Scott: *grabs string, yanks*

Blinds drop

Melissa: *stares at blinds* ...*smiles* I hear I'll be getting a room that faces the courtyard. On the third floor. I like heights, puts me closer to God.

Scott: *furrows brow*

Melissa: Mr. Waterhouse said your name's Scott?

Scott: Yeah.

Melissa: He speaks! Great! Scott...

Scott: Finch.

Melissa: *smiles* Like the bird.

Scott: *looks at Melissa*

Melissa: It's nice to meet you.

Scott: ...Likewise.

Melissa: How'd you get here?

Scott: Car.

Melissa: *laughs* Okay. Um, I guess what I'm tryin' to ask is why you're here.

Scott: With all due respect, Miss, you don't know me. That's an inappropriate question.

Melissa: I'm here for an evaluation. *smiles* I've been living in my mother's attic since I was 3. She died so...they took me here.

Scott: *nods slowly* And you're how old?

Melissa: 28 years and 42 days.

Scott: *lifts brow* You've been living in an attic for the past 25 years.

Melissa: Yes. I don't understand why everybody thinks that's so weird. *smiles* I'm perfectly healthy.

Scott: *smiles* Sure you are.

Waterhouse: *walks over* Sorry about that, Melissa. I'll show you to your room now.

Melissa: *stands* Third floor.

Waterhouse: Just like we agreed.

Melissa: Can Scott come?

Waterhouse: *looks at Scott*

Scott: *rubs eyes*

Waterhouse: I'm afraid the female ward is for females only.

Melissa: Oh.

Waterhouse: Let's get you settled.

Melissa: *walks away*

Waterhouse: Thanks, Scott.

Scott: Mhm.

Waterhouse: *walks away*

Third floor

Melissa: *steps into room*

Waterhouse: Here you are.

Melissa: *looks around* I don't see any books.

Waterhouse: There's a library downstairs. During your recreational time, you'll be allowed to check out one book.

Melissa: *pushes on mattress*

Waterhouse: If you need anything, you just press this red button by the light switch and an attendant will be here within minutes.

Melissa: *opens curtains*

Waterhouse: An attendant will bring you some clothing and toiletries.

Melissa: *turns around* This room doesn't have a bible.

Waterhouse: I'll see that you get one.

Melissa: *smiles* Thank you.

TBC..............................
 
What a great update. Good that TOm wants to make amends, bad that he taunted Lori relentlessly. I guess that if anything, those two really know how to relate to each other. Interesting...

Even more interesting is the fact that Scott has gone all one syllable. Gone is the smile, the lightness...apparently , the kindness too. I hope he can get himself together and go back to Lori...unless, he hits it off with loony tunes Melissa( whom I love btw) and starts over anew. Choices, choices....lol.

Awesome update!
 
Oh Kay ! I can see the bible lessons starting at the loony bend! Poor Scott will be ordained by the time he emerges from the craziness of Melissa! lol!

WTF Tom! You seem to go from bad to worse in 0.60 sec. ! I don't understand why he keeps trying to infuriate Lori! He needs to repair his own home life and quit invading hers!

Great update Geni!
 
Thanks so much for the reviews. :D

Psych facility, atrium, 12pm next day

Scott: *opens book*

Waterhouse: *leans against wall* And?

Psychiatrist: Melissa has an IQ of about 120 so she's very bright. She's been educated.

Waterhouse: By her mother?

Psychiatrist: Most likely. It seems like the seclusion was for religious reasons and because of that, her social skills are...going to need a little work.

Waterhouse: What do you recommend?

Psychiatrist: I think the best course of action for the moment is to have her interact with other patients. The safe ones, of course.

Waterhouse: *nods*

Psychiatrist: *looks at watch* I have a meeting in about 20 minutes so I should get going.

Waterhouse: Thanks.

Psychiatrist: *walks away*

Waterhouse: *looks at Scott*

Scott: *flips page*

Waterhouse: Scott.

Scott: *lifts head*

Waterhouse: *hands over bible*

Scott: *looks at bible*

Waterhouse: Take this to Melissa.

Scott: *blinks*

Waterhouse: It's okay.

Scott: *takes bible*

Waterhouse: She's in room 304.

Scott: *stands* I thought I wasn't allowed in the female ward.

Waterhouse: I trust you.

Scott: That's not a good idea.

Waterhouse: Think of this as exposure. If you come back and she hasn't been diced to little bits, a successful test will have been completed.

Scott: *frowns, walks away*

Waterhouse: *looks back*

Third floor, hallway

Scott: *knocks on door*

Melissa: *opens door, smiles* Scott Finch.

Scott: *lifts bible* You asked for this?

Melissa: *smiling* Thank you. *takes bible* Come on in. *walks away*

Scott: No, I-

Melissa: *sits on bed, opens bible*

Scott: *looks around*

Melissa: Don't be shy. *smiles* I won't bite.

Scott: It's not you I'm worried about.

Melissa: So he speaks a little more.

Scott: You caught me on a...bad day.

Melissa: *lifts head*

Scott: I apologize for being short with you.

Melissa: *smiles* I forgive you.

Scott: Good luck with everything. *turns around, leaves*

Melissa: *smiling* What a nice man. *looks down at bible*

Gables Estates, house, 7pm

Lori: *opens door*

Tom: *lifts head*

Lori: ...What the hell do you want?

Tom: I was in the neighborhood, figured you wanted to talk.

Lori: How'd you deduce that?

Tom: Anni threw a pot at me.

Lori: *nods slowly*

Tom: So now we're going to talk or I may as well make the couch my permenant bedroom.

Lori: Okay. *walks away*

Tom: *steps in, shuts door*

Den

Lori: *sits on couch, lifts remote*

Tom: How long's Scott stuck in the cuckoo's nest? *sits*

Lori: I don't know.

Tom: He hasn't called or anything?

Lori: No.

Tom: No wonder you're so flat.

Lori: *looks at Tom*

Tom: I know how much you love him.

Lori: No you don't.

Tom: You're miserable without him. Makes me miserable. And when I'm miserable, nobody wins.

Lori: You really think the world revolves around you.

Tom: Oh I know it does.

Lori: *flips channel*

Tom: *looks at Lori* You should know why I took out my anger on you.

Lori: You were being an asshole.

Tom: No. Yes, but no. I uh...I was still angry with you.

Lori: *looks at Tom*

Tom: After I met you, my daughter was killed. After we had a relationship, you miscarried our child. And then you were the one who brought the information about Anni. It seems like everywhere you are, my happiness ceases to exist.

Lori: *stares at Tom*

Tom: But...one of the happiest times of my life was when I was with you. It frustrates the hell out of me. I hate you but I love you and that makes me hate myself. So instead of beating the crap out of myself, which would hurt, I-

Lori: *starts to laugh*

Tom: *tilts head*

Lori: *laughing* I'm sorry, I just thought I heard you say you love me.

Tom: *stares blankly* ...Um...I'm sure I meant it in the present tense, I-I mean past tense. Past tense. It's late, I'm incredibly tired and-

Lori: It's only 7.

Tom: Fine, whatever.

Lori: *stares at television*

Tom: Nothing I just said made any sense.

Lori: Not really, no.

Tom: *nods*

Lori: But you do love me.

Tom: I hate you.

Lori: ...I guess that's a thin line with you.

Tom: How do you feel about me, then?

Lori: ...*winces* The first man I ever loved was my father. *looks at Tom* I probably wouldn't be able to give an accurate answer.

Tom: ...Uh huh.

Lori: We'll just leave it at that.

Tom: Sounds good to me. *grabs remote* Anything good on?

Lori: CSI:pensacola.

Tom: Shitty show. *flips channel*

TBC...................................
 
We that was kinda weird with Tom and Lori! I love you! No No! I hate you! No wait! I love you! No I hate you ! Jeez ! Tomm just call it Love 40 game set match ! Ok ! Get over it! you are both taken and you should be trying to smooze Anni over not Lori! Duh!

Scott has got a major killing people issue he need some serious help! i hope he sees the light! I'm pretty sure Melissa is about to exercise that Demon from his body for him ! lol! Demons come ouuuut! Come ouuut Of Scott! Be heeeled! Slaps Scotts forehead and he falls out on the floor jerking!

Lol! Great update Geni!
 
Tom's a bit ...addled. I'm going to have to go ahead and say that he needs to make sure that even as he feels this way towards Lori, that Anni never...EVER gets a hold of that information. The last thing Tom needs is to show that he's conflicted about his love to Anni. Tom needs tosquare this with himself. Seriously.

Scott needs some serious....help. I hope that Melissa's going to be a help to him, which I see it happening. He just needs to smile a bit more is all...lol

Awesome update!
 
WTF! I am so confused...does she or doesn't she love Tom

Ha ha! Anni threw a pot at Tom

Scotty & the bible girl...that man needs Jesus...LOL

Great update Geni!
 
Haha, nice to see the love of CSI:pensacola doesn't get passed on to the next generation... :lol:

You know, Scotty, last time you were in a psych hospital, you found your wife. Let's not find a second wife there, okay?

I think Tom needs a hug. Or, well, I don't know what exactly he needs, but a hug is the least harmful... :lol:

I hope Scott can come out of this okay.

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

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

Psych facility, courtyard, 9am next day

Melissa: *kneels, throws seeds onto ground*

Scott: *walks outside*

Birds land on ground, start pecking at seeds

Melissa: *smiles*

Scott: *sits on bench*

Melissa: *lifts head* Key West Quail-dove. You usually don't see these very often.

Scott: You like birds.

Melissa: They're free, they can go anywhere they want.

Scott: You can go anywhere you want, too.

Melissa: I know.

Scott: *stares at Melissa*

Melissa: Have you ever wished you could fly?

Scott: Once.

Melissa: *stands, sits on bench* What did you do?

Scott: I took the stairs.

Melissa: *smiles*

Scott: *looks around*

Melissa: *lowers eyes* You're married.

Scott: That's right.

Melissa: When did you meet your wife?

Scott: *looks at Melissa*

Melissa: ...Another inappropriate question?

Scott: I met her in a place like this.

Melissa: Do you miss her?

Scott: *lowers head*

Melissa: I miss my mother.

Scott: *stands, walks away*

Melissa: *lifts eyes*

Admission office

Waterhouse: *writing*

Scott: *walks over* I want to leave.

Waterhouse: *lifts head* But you've been making so much progress. I'd hate for that to come crashing down.

Scott: I'm finished.

Waterhouse: *stands* Scott, you remember what happened the last time you left early.

Scott: I got married and had 2 beautiful children.

Waterhouse: You married someone who had bigger problems than you and ended up being her crutch and punching bag -- literally and metaphorically. You're supposed to develop healthy relationships.

Scott: I moved back to New York. I had a great job and friends. I was dealing with everything.

Waterhouse: Until she showed up again.

Scott: She's not to blame for the things that have happened to me.

Waterhouse: But you agree your relationship has been unhealthy.

Scott: That's not why I'm here.

Waterhouse: Right, you're afraid you'll slaughter people. Scott, you have been through some unique experiences and frankly...I've never seen anyone so damaged. Your private therapy sessions have been enlightening to say the least.

Scott: What's that supposed to mean?

Waterhouse: Some of my colleagues and I want to study you a little more closely.

Men step closer

Scott: *looks at Men*

Waterhouse: I've spent the last 7 years observing you, watching you deteriorate.

Scott: *looks at Waterhouse*

Waterhouse: Who do you think hired that mentally ill woman to keep you at that warehouse?

Scott: *blinks*

Waterhouse: Who do you think paid those men to crash their truck into you and your pregnant wife?

Scott: *stares at Waterhouse*

Waterhouse: The explosion at the restaurant in New York, Kimberly's supposed suicide, Mark and Tina's deaths and lest we forget the unfortunate accident with Donna. Someone really should have put that decrepid book case somewhere else.

Scott: ...Y-

Waterhouse: Yep. All me. How's little Stephie doing, by the way? Are those kids still giving her berries to eat?

Man1: *grabs Scott*

Waterhouse: Some may find it cruel and unusual. I call it an experiment. How far can a man truly be pushed? How much trauma is too much? You're a perfect specimen and I'm going to dissect you.

Man2: *grabs Scott's arm*

Waterhouse: Take him back to his room.

Fourth floor

Man1: *shoves Scott into room*

Scott: *runs to door* Wait!

Man2: *closes door, locks it*

Scott: *slams hands on door* Can't you see he's a lunatic! Let me out!

Waterhouse: *steps over* Scott, I'd be less worried about my sanity and more worried about yours.

Scott: Someone call the police!

Waterhouse: Look at where you are. Everyone thinks we're out to get them.

Scott: *yanks on door* LET ME OUT!

Waterhouse: *looks at Man1* Shut him up.

Man1: *hits button*

Inside cell

Gas starts pouring down from vents

Scott: *lifts head*

Waterhouse: I'll see you in the morning.

Scott: *coughs*

Waterhouse: *walks away*

Scott: *collapses onto bed*

TBC...............................
 
OO..... Waterhouse's been...STUDYING him? OMG , every bad thing that's ever happened to him has happened because of Waterhouse. And now poor Scotty's in trouble and gassed into a deep unconciousness. I have to hand it to you Geni, you've thrown a SERIOUS curve ball here! I LOVE curves. Now...let's work on getting Scotty out of there!

PS...I have to wonder...will anyone believe him now that he's supposedly psychotic?

PS#2 Are you working on an update?
