Ah you're welcome. Thanks for reading. And keep the tension building, I'm still gathering my last ideas!
See you all tomorrow. (history test tomorrow, GRRRR)
ETA: Ok, as promised here's the group session. *drummroll*
Dr. Jennings sits in her trusty swivel chair across from the five CSIs, most looking anxious and probably wondering why they're here. One, the redhead and leader figure, wears a dark suit and blue dress shirt. Another, a Cuban, wears a dress shirt and jeans; the youngest male wears a t-shirt, jeacket and jeans. The two ladies both wear slacks and blouses. Dr. Jennings makes sure to turn on the recorder, and begins the session.
Dr. Jennings: I guess you're all wondering why I've called you here.
Horatio: Yes, doctor.
Ryan: Yeah, but it's fine so long as my session got canceled.
Dr. J:...well, Alexx has something she'd like to share.
Alexx: Not really.
Calleigh: What is it, Alexx?
Eric: You can tell us, Alexx.
Dr. J: Alexx we're all trying to be more open and honest with everyone. Wouldn't you like to be the one to reveal this to the group? Besides, they might not believe me.
A: You have it on a recorder, you can prove it.
Dr. J: Not really...the last session...wasn't recorded.
H: What is this all about?
R: Yeah, come on, what's up Alexx?
Dr. J: Alexx...
A: Um. I, uh, it's about...um...Tim.
E: I knew it!
H: Why can't you share something about Speed with us, Alexx? You know we all love and miss him, and would like to know if somethings going that involves him.
A: Because, I can't.
C: Why not?
A: I'm worried about what they'll do to me!
H: *under breath* Stetler.
R: What, Horatio?
A: Yes, it is the...feds.
H: Alexx, sweetheart, I can protect you from them. Nothing's going to happen, but I need you to tell us what's going on.
A: You'll never believe me!
E: Sure we will, Alexx.
Dr. J: This is your team, your family. I'm sure they'll believe you.
A: not about this!
R: Well why don't you tell us and we'll see if we believe you.
E: *glares*
R: What?
E: *shakes head* C'mon Alexx. We'll take you seriously.
A: I can't!
H: Dr. Jennings, please tell us what Alexx told you!
Dr. J: I really wanted Alexx to be able to do this.
R: Well apparently she can't.
E: *glares*
R: WHAT?!
E: *shakes head*
C: Alexx, he meant a lot to us. We loved him. Why can't you tell us whatever's going on!
A: *sighs* Because of the...feds.
H: Alexx, don't worry about them. What is going on?
A: *sigh* Tim...he's...he didn't...die.
C: What?
E: Huh? What are you saying?
R: Whoa.
H: Alexx, *takes off shades, runs hand through hair* Um, Alexx, I was there. He...died. I know it's hard to let go....
A: See! You don't believe me!
E: Alexx, you need to explain.
A: He began to work undercover, like Raymond had, Horatio.
H: *shakes head* Why then? And I mean I was there. He died in my arms, Alexx. I was there. I took his pulse.
A: I don't know how the feds pulled it off, but they did. All I had to do was get him away from you, begin the autopsy, and then let him go.
E: I don't believe this.
R: I thought he was dead.
E: We all did, moron.
R: *sighs*
C: Alexx, sorry, but this is hard. We were just moving on and now...you tell us he's alive. It's not easy to accept this.
A: He wanted to help people. He was transferred to work undercover in California, with gangs in LA.
H: Why? He was helping people.
A: he didn't see it that way! I mean, catching the bad guy, but not saving people. With gangs he'll prevent hundreds of gang-related deaths.
R: But catching a killer prevents them from hurting anyone else!
A: He didn't see it that way I guess. He wanted to save people directly, I guess.
H: This is...uncomprehendable.
C: Where is he? Still in LA?
A: *sigh* The feds stopped giving me info. I don't know where he is at this point. *starts to cry* I'm sorry! I had to keep it a secret, it was hard too, with you guys and how much we all missed him!
E: We do miss him.
H: This is like Raymond all over again...
A: I'm sorry guys, I was so worried.
R: Well are we going to find him?
E: Yeah and he'll replace you, Wolfe.
R: *frowns*
H: *beeper rings, reaches for it* No one's replacing anyone. However I need to have little chat with our 'friendly' federal officials. We're going to have to cut this session short, unless there's anything else we need to know, doctor. I'm being paged for a crime scene.
Dr. J: I don't think there's anything else. However we are going to continue the sessions, so I'll see you Horatio, next week.
H: *sigh* Of course. Come on team.
The team leaves, Alexx crying and Calleigh holding her, and Dr. Jennings makes some notes, turns off the recroder and opens the door to a knock.
Dr. J: Rick! What are you doing here?
Stetler: Doctor, I came to discuss the CSI patients and their status.
Dr. J: Yeah, and it's time to py up. It's been almost a month with them, I need to get paid to do this.
S: Right, of course. Tomorrow at our session?
Dr. J: *sigh* Ok, goodbye Rick.
Next session: Horatio.
I didn't know how to explain Speed's undercover work so I made something up. Hope you all liked! Trying to think of what to do next.
Thanks guys!
