Okay I know I promised Hummerhome action, but that will have to wait until this particular storyline is done. *sigh* So don't worry. ....Not that anyone is worried, but I'm a perfectionist and I get worried sometimes.
Bleeding For The Second Time
California, 9 pm
Katie: Hey you're home.
Speed: *rubs eyes* Yeah.
Katie: ...Did work go okay?
Speed: Just fine.
Katie: You look tired.
Speed: Do I?
Katie: Yeah. So did you do anything exciting today?
Speed: Like what?
Katie: I don't know. Did someone start a nasty rumor at the water cooler, or something like that?
Speed: We don't have a water cooler.
Katie: Wow...Bust my bubble.
Speed: I got asked to go out for a few beers.
Katie: Okay what's her name.
Speed: It's a cop thing.
Katie: You're not a cop.
Speed: They know I used to be.
Katie: Oh so you're one of them.
Speed: Not quite.
Katie: I don't get it.
Speed: I said no, and I came home.
Katie: Well you don't have to get mad about it.
Speed: I'm not mad.
Katie: You sound mad.
Speed: I always sound mad. That's the way I am.
Katie: I made you dinner.
Speed: *sigh* You don't cook.
Katie: ...I made you take out pizza.
Speed: *smirks*
Katie: Hey I know how to dial a phone. It's not that hard.
Speed: I can see that.
Katie: I cleaned the house.
Speed: You don't clean.
Katie: Well don't things look cleaner?
Speed: It looks the same.
Katie: You didn't notice the small things.
Speed: What small things?
Katie: Well they're too small to see.
Speed: Nice try.
Katie: So do you like your new job?
Speed: It's much..Quieter.
Katie: ...Quieter as opposed to the most quiet lab ever in Miami.
Speed: I don't have to leave and try not to die every five minutes.
Katie: Well that's good.
Speed: So what did you do all day?
Katie: I made some friends.
Speed: Friends?
Katie: The neighbors. They came over to introduce themselves, and one thing led to another and we were eating a casserole together.
Speed: We as in...
Katie: A woman and her husband.
Speed: Do they have names besides a 'woman' and her 'husband'?
Katie: William and Morgan.
Speed: ...So I'm assuming William is the man then.
Katie: Yeah.
Speed: So what's so great about these neighbors?
Katie: Well Morgan is a teacher, and William is...*sigh*
Speed: *narrows eyes*
Katie: He's...Um....Teehee.
Speed: *frowns*
Katie: He's a *sigh* Doctor.
Speed: And what does this doctor have that I don't have?
Katie: Latex gloves.
Speed: Not funny.
Katie: *laughs* Oh come on Tim you've never been jelous before.
Speed: You've never drooled on someone you just met.
Katie: HEY. I drooled all over you when I first saw you.
Speed: Good to know.
Katie: Oh come on I'm not going to cheat on you with the neighbors.
Speed: I hate to go all Desperate Housewives on you, but it's entirely possible that YOU WOULD.
Katie: Um don't raise your voice at me. I didn't do anything.
Speed: I'm sorry.
Katie: And besides I was just teasing you so calm down.
Speed: *cellphone rings* Great, who's calling me? *opens phone* Yeah.
Police Department
Jody: We need you down here.
Speed: Why?
Jody: The sherrif says you have an expertise in trace?
Speed: What's the case?
Jody: Parents called PD tonight. Their four year old child has gone missing and the crime scene unit found something interesting on the window.
Speed: What do you need me to do?
Jody: Well officially you're just an observer, but I could really use the extra pair of eyes.
Speed: I'll be right there.
Jody: Thanks.
Click
Speed: I gotta go.
Katie: Um...Where?
Speed: PD.
Katie: Why?
Speed: Got a case.
Katie: How?
Speed: I'm just observing.
Katie: They called you to make you stand there?
Speed: Yeah.
Katie: Well if that's what you want to do...
Speed: *kisses Katie* See you later.
Katie: When's later?
Speed: *opens door* Who knows. *leaves*
Katie: *crosses arms* Fine.
Office, Police Station
Speed: Hey.
Jody: Hey. Take a look at this picture.
Speed: *picks up photo* Looks transluscent.
Jody: It's going to take our guys a few days to get the results but this case needs to be solved fast so whatever you can tell me would help.
Speed: Are you always this uptight on cases?
Jody: We're talking about a missing child.
Speed: The only cases you work are missing children and domestic homocides so calm down.
Jody: And how long were you a detective?
Speed: Ten years. You?
Jody: This is my fourth year.
Speed: Now, you want to work quickly but don't hurry.
Jody: Why?
Speed: You'll overlook evidence.
Jody: *nods*
Speed: Okay this looks like sunscreen or body lotion.
Jody: That doesn't help.
Speed: Slow down.
Jody: I am slowed down.
Speed: Think of it in context.
Jody: Well...Everyone in California uses sunscreen.
Speed: Doesn't seem like it helps does it?
Jody: Not really.
Speed: Keep thinking.
Jody: Where are you going?
Speed: Home.
Jody: Why?
Speed: If you're going to call me everytime you need a picture to be looked at, I'm going to be making more money than you.
Jody: *smiles* Thanks.
Speed: Next time trust the crime scene unit. They know what they're doing. *leaves*
