Yay, Alena’s alive! But she’s so sad and was so scared. 
*hugs Alena* Good thing her daddy’s there to protect her now. Stupid Stetler; you better go kick his butt Horatio! I’ll be rooting for you!
Aww, the Speed and Lori scene was so beautiful. Don’t cry Speed! *hands him a handkerchief* I don’t think I can forgive Lori for lying to her parents and causing them so much grief just because she thought they wouldn’t understand; all children feel that way about their parents at some point in their lives, but in reality, most of the time the parents would listen, and Speed and Katie probably would have given Lori more credit had she just told them what she wanted to do. But while I can’t forgive her, I must say the whole “I love you, dad” part was just beautiful and perfect, and I can’t hate her.
The show should be like your fic because instead of being the most watched show in the world, it would be the most watched show in the universe!

Before, Lori was...Pretty much the same minus some of the rudeness, Nikki. :lol:
Aw bird_of_flame, thanks for the compliment. I'm not sure it would be the most watched show in the universe but if it was, that would be cool. Gotta give credits to the actual show though because without it, this wouldn't exist.

Two days later, Miami
Delko: H, we need to talk.
Horatio: *takes off shades*
Delko: They won't let me take Alena, and they won't let me see her. What's going on?
Horatio: Social Services has decided to place her with a guardian for the time being.
Delko: Why?
Horatio: Jess was declared unfit as a mother and you're still under investigation.
Delko: I thought this was all cleared up. Is there something you're not telling me?
Horatio: IAB thinks you were involved in her kidnapping.
Delko: How?
Horatio: You and Colton took her to Cuba and Stetler was able to take her from there. They see you as an accomplice.
Delko: Accomplice? We took her there so she would be safe.
Horatio: Unfortunately they don't see it that way.
Delko: Why was Jess declared unfit?
Horatio: Social Services tried to get into the house and she threw knives through the window.
Delko: ...So?
Horatio: *stares at Eric*
Delko: *shakes head* So who's taking her?
Horatio: Speed just got back this morning.
Delko: Are you kidding me? He's not taking her.
Horatio: He has legal guardianship.
Delko: Since when?
Horatio: Since Jess signed the papers. Now, IAB wants to speak with you so you'd better get going.
Delko: I'm not guilty.
Horatio: Prove it to them.
Delko: You aren't even going to help me? I thought I was supposed to be your employee and your friend.
Horatio: My hands are a little tied at the moment.
Delko: Why?
Horatio: I'll explain later.
Delko: Yeah I'm sure you will. *walks away*
Apartment
Anni: Did you want me to watch her while you go to work?
Speed: I have a couple of days off this week so I can do it.
Anni: How was Colombia?
Speed: Fine.
Anni: ...So are you going to tell me why you went to Colombia with Katie?
Speed: Don't worry it wasn't to cheat on you.
Anni: *laughs* I didn't mean it that way.
Speed: Katie had to go there to make some ends meet and she didn't want to go alone.
Anni: Oh. So you went for support.
Speed: She's my friend.
Anni: She's also your ex-wife.
Speed: What does that have to do with anything?
Anni: Well I'm Katie's best friend and if she asked me to go to Colombia with her for a couple of days, I don't think I would.
Speed: Well I'm not you.
Anni: I know. But you can't blame me for b-
Speed: Not trusting me?
Anni: I do trust you.
Speed: *nods*
Alena: *runs into living room* Uncie Timmy, tie my shoes.
Speed: *walks over to Alena*
Anni: *watches*
Speed: *kneels* Where are you off to that you need shoes?
Alena: The patio.
Speed: What are you going to be doing on the patio?
Alena: Playing with my toys.
Speed: You can play with them in here.
Alena: *shakes head* Momma always said the sun is good for you.
Speed: Okay well you're all tied.
Alena: YAY! Thank ya. *kisses Speed's cheek* Bye. *runs out onto patio*
Speed: *stands*
Anni: *smiling*
Speed: ...What.
Anni: You still hate kids, huh.
Speed: Yeah.
Anni: *laughs* I'll go make sure she doesn't fall over the edge. *walks away*
Knock on door is heard
Speed: *walks over to door, opens it*
Jess: Tim!
Speed: Whoa, back up.
Jess: You have to let me see her.
Speed: You can't.
Jess: Why?
Speed: Because the court says you can't.
Jess: I just need to see her, please let me in.
Speed: *closes door*
Jess: *pushes door*
Speed: You need to leave.
Jess: Don't keep my baby from me. Tim, let me in.
Speed: I'm sorry.
Jess: *leans head against door* Please...Let me see her. *starts to cry*
Speed: You know I can't.
Jess: I'll...Here I'll give you money. How much do you want? I can write anything. No, no I'll take your work shifts, all of them. I'll do your taxes, anything!
Speed: I can't.
Jess: Why!
Speed: I already explained why.
Jess: Please, Tim! Please let me in. I just want a couple of minutes, what's the harm? Come on you know what it's like to be kept from your child, to think that you might not see them again, please let me in. Please.
Speed: *angry sigh* ...Okay. You have five minutes.
Jess: Thank you. *walks in*
Speed: *walks over to patio door* Anni.
Anni: *turns around* Yeah?
Speed: Jess is here.
Anni: So? She can't be here.
Speed: I think it would be okay if she saw her for a couple of minutes.
Anni: Um...No it wouldn't.
Speed: I don't think it's that much of a problem.
Anni: Tim you have to lay down the law. She's not allowed in here.
Speed: What's the harm? It's not like she'll hurt her. She just wants to see her.
Anni: That's not the point. You can't just break the rules because you feel sorry for her.
Speed: No one has to know.
Anni: We'll know.
Speed: Okay I will take the heat for everything if someone finds out.
Anni: Fine. Jess! Come here!
Jess: *walks over, kneels*
Alena: *looks up* MOMMA! *runs, hugs Jess*
Jess: *crying, hugs Alena* Hi baby.
Alena: I missed you momma.
Jess: I missed you too sweetie.
Anni: I'm supposed to be meeting Carly, Colton and Eric for lunch so I'll see you guys later.
Speed: Yeah.
Anni: *leaves*
Jess: *hugging Alena*
Alena: Momma...You're squishin' me.
Jess: *laughs* I'm sorry. *lets go* How have you been?
Alena: Good. I was outside playing with my toys.
Jess: *sigh* I want so bad to take you home.
Alena: Why can't I go?
Jess: Because you have to stay here for a while. But I promise that I'll come get you soon.
Alena: ...I don't wanna stay here.
Jess: It won't be for very long.
Alena: *hugs Jess* Okay.
Jess: Alright. You'll be safe here so just...*sigh*
Speed: *grabs Jess' hand*
Jess: *stands*
Alena: *runs into bedroom*
Jess: She'd been gone for so long and I can't even take her home.
Speed: Things change.
Jess: Yeah.
Speed: I have a question, why did you pick me?
Jess: What do you mean?
Speed: For this. Why me?
Jess: ...I trust you.
Speed: *tilts head* You're probably about the only person who trusts me. Everyone thinks I'm either a cheater, a murderer, irresponsible or emotionless.
Jess: *sits on couch*
Speed: You could have chosen Horatio.
Jess: Yeah I could have.
Speed: *sits* I don't understand women.
Jess: *smiles*
Speed: This is about Eric, isn't it?
Jess: *smile fades*
Speed: *stares at Jess*
Jess: You two bicker, argue, poke fun at each other and most people who would meet you two would think you don't get along at all. But for some reason he trusts you with his life and I've never understood why.
Speed: The feeling's mutual, believe me. But...Don't tell him I said because I'll never hear the end of it.
Jess: *smirks* Yeah. *stands* I should get back home.
Speed: *stands*
Jess: Don't misplace her in Colombia or anything.
Speed: Funny.
Jess: See you later. *leaves*
Outdoor restaurant, Miami
Delko: *picks at food*
Carly: *drinks water*
Colton: *sigh*
Anni: WELL we're a lively bunch aren't we?
Delko: Life sucks.
Carly: Marriage sucks.
Colton: These appetizers suck.
Anni: So is there any good news flying around the likes of us lately?
Colton: OH! I ripped off that hang nail that's been bothering me for like two weeks. I thought the angel's trumpets were going to sound when I threw that nail into the garba-
Anni: Alright anyone who has a story that won't gross me out?
Carly: My house is quiet. Very quiet. I like the quiet. I kind of feel like rocking back and forth.
Delko: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WUBBA MONSTER!
Anni: Okay when I said something happy, I meant something...Happy.
Carly: Well so tell us something happy that's happened for you.
Anni: Um....I don't know...Erm...Nothing really. *cough*
Carly: See? We all suck. This is what I get for moving here from Australia. Nothing but trouble.
Colton: No one wants to hear the rest about my hangnail? I mean I told the garbage man about it and he seemed pretty intrigued.
Carly: Well we aren't so save it.
Colton: Geez, what's your problem?
Carly: My husband left me for another man!
Colton: Ouch...Tough luck.
Carly: I HATE MEN!
Colton: On behalf of all the men on this planet, I apologize.
Carly: Thank you.
Delko: What about me?
Colton: Eric...You count as the men on this planet.
Delko: Oh good deal.
Anni: Okay guys as cheerleader of this group, we're going to go do something fun.
Carly: Like what?
Anni: Well we need something to get our spirits up SO I bought tickets for us to go see CATS!
Everyone: *stares at Anni*
Anni: Okay plan B. We're going SHOPPING!
Colton/Delko: No.
Anni: *grabs Colton by the collar* You're going to go into all the posh Miami stores and you're going to LIKE IT you got that?
Colton: ...Yes ma'am.
Anni: *smiles* Good. Let's make a day of it.
Pet store
Delko: This is a posh Miami store?
Anni: I'm sure it was at one time. OH look at the kitties! *runs over, taps glass* HI LITTLE KITTEN!
Carly: It says not to touch the glass.
Anni: Oh the kitten won't mind. *taps harder* LOOK AT ME!
Kitten: *falls down*
Anni: Huh. Most kittens run towards me.
Colton: Um...Eric the iguana is staring at me.
Delko: Don't make eye contact.
Few minutes later, sunglass hut
Anni: *puts on shades* No I don't like pink. *throws shades* Okay how about these? *puts on shades* No I don't like purple.
Colton: Can we go now? My feet hurt.
Anni: You can't leave until they start to bleed.
Colton: Can someone get me an axe!
Carly: Oh hey I like these shades.
Anni: LEMME TRY! *grabs shades* I...*puts on shades* Like these.
Carly: Nice.
Clothes store
Anni: *throws skirts* Okay I'm going to try this on. No wait, I want to try this on.
Carly: OH this is cute! *grabs bikini* I haven't worn one of these in YEARS.
Anni: I feel so POSH. *strikes model pose*
Carly: Oh this hat is really cute. *grabs hats* Okay I'm trying all of this on. *runs into dressing room*
Anni: I'll try this whole rack. *runs into other dressing room*
Two minutes later
Anni: No I don't like this one. *throws clothes over door*
Colton: AH! *runs out of way*
Anni: And this one, and this one and this one. *throws clothes*
Carly: This skirt is too flamboyant. *throws skirt over door*
Anni: Oh and this one is too gross under this lighting. *throws clothes*
Five minutes later
Anni: *runs out* What do you think?
Colton: *covered in clothes* If I could see I would tell you.
Carly: *walks out*
Delko: You're wearing the same clothes you went in with.
Carly: What? This isn't the same.
Delko: Really?
Carly: MEN DON'T UNDERSTAND ME! *throws hat*
Delko: AH! *backs up, falls into rack of clothes*
Bra falls on Delko's face
Delko: *screams*
Outside store
Colton: *carrying boxes* Are we done yet?
Delko: *carrying bags* Yeah come on.
Anni: We're not finished until I say we're finished. OH BABY CLOTHES! *attaches self to window*
Carly: ...So?
Anni: *grabs Carly* We're going in. I don't know why but we are. *runs in*
Delko: ...
Colton: ...
Delko: Bench?
Colton: Yeah the bench.
Inside store
Anni: Oh look at the cute little baby footies and the cute little baby socks and the cute little baby mannequins!
Carly: Are you okay in the head?
Anni: *GASP* CRIBS! *runs over to cribs*
Carly: *follows*
Anni: Oh it's so small. And so cute. And oh my gosh I have to get it.
Carly: Why?
Anni: THE COLOUR STAMP SAYS BABY BLUE THAT'S SO CLEVER! *squeals*
Carly: *lifts brow*
Anni: *sigh* Oh my dear gosh look at that.
Carly: ...What.
Anni: Little baby bibs. *sniffs*
Carly: ...
Anni: *bursts into tears*
Carly: Um...There there? *pats Anni's back*
Anni: I WANT THESE!
Carly: Then get them.
Anni: *sigh*
Carly: Are you having a kid or something?
Anni: So what if I was?
Carly: ...You didn't tell anyone?
Anni: No.
Carly: Well I kind of suspected something but I think this kind of ruined your secret. Although I don't understand why you haven't told anyone.
Anni: Because I don't want to be a hypocrite!
Carly: So don't buy baby things. *GASP* Who's the father!
Anni: Eric.
Carly: *staring at Anni*
Anni: It's Speed you nutty bar. Okay. TELLER! GET ME ALL OF THIS PACKED UP!

Carly: So don't buy baby things. *GASP* Who's the father!
Anni: Eric.
Carly: *staring at Anni*
Anni: It's Speed you nutty bar. Okay. TELLER! GET ME ALL OF THIS PACKED UP!

Awwwwww! Alena is so cute! And Speed does so like kids; he’s great with them. But poor Jess and Eric; don’t worry guys, everything will turn out right in the end! …Right? *bites nails anxiously* Oh, Anni and Carly going shopping, that sounds like so much fun, and Colton and Eric have to be the pack mules. And the bras fell on Eric! :lol: And I do so tap the glass a little whenever I’m in a pet store; I just love kittens to death. The whole scene in the baby store has to be the best part though, it was funny, cute and sweet at the same time. But Anni’s going to have to tell people sometime, I mean, when she gets later into the pregnancy, people are going to notice; unless she starts to wear thick sweaters or something, but then again, who wears sweaters in Miami? :lol:
It would be cool if the whole universe watched it; I could just picture it:
Alien 1: What are you watching?
Alien 2: An Earthling show: CSI Miami.
Alien 1: What is this CSI you speak of?
Alien 2: I don’t know, but I want those Earthling sunglasses; they are what is known on Earth as “cool”.
This is amazing as always! I love it!

Speed was crying awwwww and I know i said it before but Lori is still alive? and he DOES love kids how cute.

I love Carly and Anni together...they just crack me up more dialogue from them please Geni!
great reading as always update soon Geni.

Awesome, awesome updates!!! FIrst, now that I understand Lori, I don't think that she is such a bitch now. She just wanted to get away from a life that she didn't want. Understandable, but she could've done that a different way, of course. At least they came to some kind of common ground,...didn't they?
I'm like Katie, I don't think Maxine had anything substantial to do with this. I'm glad Stetler is up for kidnapping though. And YAY! Alena's found! Boo, Eric and Jess can't have her. I hope things turn out good for them.
Okay...I love shopping like the next one, but...I was going to tell a lie and say that I would'nt subject anyone to my dazzling shopping style, but I can't do that. Even if they cry bloody murder, they would still hold the bags :lol:
The last part with Carly....I couldn't stop laughing. Poor Carly though, Josh left her for another man? WHOA....
Yes, i think there is a lot of tension between Speed and Anni at least...Interesting....
Loved the entire update, and hoping, and crossing my fingers for another one soon....
Awww, Carly...we are going to miss you! Good luck on your exams!
Awesome, Geni!

No worries about not being here very often, Carly. The board should take a backseat to Real Life.
:lol: Okay now I'm just remembering Horatio's one-liner from last week. Anyway, back to it.
bird_of_flame, that's hilarious, lol. Gee, poor Aliens. I hope they're watching season two.
And calleighspeedle, I don't think it's just you. Then again, no one else besides Carly and Katie know that Lori's alive so Anni might be suspecting something, but we'll see how that turns out.
:lol: Anni, you crack me up.
Thanks for the reviews!
*******************
South Beach, 5:30 pm
Anni: *sits down* WHEW that was a lot of fun, it sure cheered me up.
Delko: Yeah I had a lot of fun here. I can't believe I live in Miami and I never get the chance to actually experience Miami.
Colton: Dude, you're turning into a woman.
Delko: Is it the shirt? The V-neck is a little much isn't it. *sigh* Man I KNEW I shouldn't have let Calleigh buy me an entire wardrobe for Christmas last year.
Colton: Last year? More like three years in a row.
Delko: Shut it.
Carly: So Anni do you feel better that you've bought out the entire store now?
Anni: Yeah. *sigh* That credit card must be on FIRE.
Carly: You own a credit card?
Anni: ...Um...No.
Carly: Whose credit card was it?
Anni: No one's. Okay who wants juice? I could go for some juice. Hey do you think the restaurants here have nachos? I like nachos.
Carly: *looks around* Hey, isn't that your mom?
Anni: What? NO! No! *hides under table* She's supposed to be back in England. Away with you!
Mom: *runs over* Anni! I knew that was you. How goes?
Anni: Bad. Get lost, mom.
Mom: I can't.
Anni: Why?
Mom: I came to visit you. I want my grandson to know me before he's even born.
Anni: NO! *jumps up*
Table falls over
Delko: Ah! My woman shirt has grape juice all over it.
Colton: Grape juice?
Delko: I mean...Whiskey. Vodka. Something...Manly.
Colton: Anni are you pregnant?
Anni: No. See, no because then that would make me a hypocrite and well I don't want to be and *hyperventilating* I need to sit down. *sits*
Colton: How come you didn't tell us?
Anni: I didn't want everyone to make a big deal about it. I figure the less anyone knows, the more chance my child won't die.
Delko: From what? Knowledge that he exists?
Anni: Uh huh.
Carly: *laughs* Stop being so silly.
Mom: Exactly my sentiments dear. Now Anni I've rented you a summer place to stay so you can have the child in England.
Anni: What?
Mom: And then you can have the mansion while your father and I move to the suburbs.
Anni: No, wait. Stop slow down sit, stay whatever the hell you people do in England. Okay I'm not going to stay at some summer place for um...*counts on fingers* five months.
Mom: But you want your baby in the best environment, right?
Anni: Oh yeah I really want my child to experience downpours and backwards cars.
Mom: Don't speak like that. Just because one culture differs from another doesn't give you the right to insult us.
Anni: Fine.
Mom: I want you to live in England.
Anni: Why are you harassing me about it here?
Mom: *sits* I tried finding you all day.
Anni: I was shopping.
Carly: Yeah it was fun.
Mom: Why don't you and your...Man thing stay at my place tonight? I rented a beautiful villa.
Anni: Because I don't want to stay at your 'villa'.
Mom: Oh come now. Let's go. *grabs Anni* Ta, everyone.
Carly: Bye! Hey Anni I'll call you!
Anni: Yes please do!
Anni and her mom leave
Carly: So who's hungry?
Delko: I am.
Carly: Oh. Here. *hands over bib*
Delko: What's this for?
Carly: Anni bought them I thought you could use them.
Colton: *starts to laugh*
Delko: *frowns*
Villa, 6:30 pm
Anni: *opens door* Where's Alena?
Speed: Calleigh has her tonight, I spoke to the lawyer and he said it was fine.
Anni: *whispers* My mom has been hounding me about the baby for an hour.
Speed: So?
Anni: So help.
Speed: *walks in*
Mom: *runs over* Anni's man! How are you?
Anni: He has a name.
Mom: Tom.
Speed: Tim.
Mom: Whatever. Come sit on the couch. Would you like some tea?
Speed: No thank you.
Mom: *runs into other room*
Living room
Anni: *sits*
Speed: *sits*
Mom: Okay drink tea. *sets tea down*
Anni: This was really nice of you but we have an apartment.
Mom: Rubbish, you two are staying here tonight. I'll even be here to cater to your needs.
Anni: I thought you weren't going to be here.
Mom: Every new mother needs someone to be by their side and help them through this time.
Speed: Gee I wonder why she ever got married.
Mom: *looks at Speed*
Anni: *elbows Speed*
Speed: Sorry.
Mom: So, do you have any names?
Anni: Not yet, why?
Mom: I have ther perfect name. Cyrus.
Anni: ...Cyrus...
Speed: No.
Mom: It's perfect.
Speed: No.
Mom: Why don't you leave the name picking to the women, dear.
Anni: Cyrus is not a good name.
Mom: How about Boutin?
Anni: What? What is that, a sound effect? No.
Mom: Remington.
Speed: Isn't that a brand of raser?
Mom: You would know, wouldn't you?
Anni: Mother, please.
Mom: Your father will be here soon so I'll go get the caviar. *leaves*
Anni: *sigh*
Speed: Maybe I should just leave.
Anni: What? No. Why? Why? Why would you do that?
Speed: The last time I met your dad, he punched me.
Anni: He just gets like that sometimes.
Speed: Yeah? Well I'll save him the trouble. *stands*
Anni: *stands* No, Tim come on. You have to stay. I promise we won't even have to see them again after this but please don't leave me alone with them.
Speed: ...*sigh* Okay, for you.
Anni: *smirks* Thanks.
Door opens
Dad: *walks in* Honey!
Mom: *runs in* Oh how are you?
Dad: Someone's motorcycle is in my driveway.
Mom: It's his.
Dad: *looks at Speed*
Speed: ...I'll move it.
Dad: What kind of bike is it?
Speed: It's a 2007 Ducati 1098 Superbike.
Dad: Looks like a 4 valve L-Twin cylinder.
Speed: It is.
Dad: Marelli electronic fuel injection?
Speed: You bet.
Dad: What's the wheel base on that thing?
Speed: About 56 inches.
Dad: How fast can that thing go?
Speed: *smirks*
Dad: It's too bad the helmet slows things down.
Speed: Yeah well when the insects are flying into my face at 160 horsepower, it's useful.
Dad: *laughs* It seems we got off on the wrong foot. *shakes Speed's hand* Howard Birmingham.
Speed: Tim Speedle.
Howard: Oh apologies for the shiner, I can sometimes get overprotective.
Speed: Understandable.
Howard: Alexis, do fetch us a couple of beers.
Alexis: Yes dear. *walks away*
Howard: I heard about the little bundle of joy. Congratulations. Now, if you want my advice, the first thing you should do is save up to put the chap in private school.
Speed: *looks at Anni*
Anni: Um, maybe we should sit down now that we're all aquainted.
Howard: You know, I should show you my porsche. I've been re-building it for the past two years. You like cars?
Speed: Anything but a Volkswagon.
Howard: *laughs* I like you. *sits*
Speed: *sits*
Anni: I'll go help mom. *leaves*
Howard: So what do you do for a living?
Speed: I'm a police officer.
Howard: Isn't that dangerous?
Speed: It can be.
Howard: I worked as a general contractor for 15 years. Now THAT'S dangerous.
Speed: *smirks* Yeah.
Kitchen
Anni: *grabs plates*
Alexis: Howard seems to be getting along with him.
Anni: So? Is that a problem?
Alexis: You know him, he doesn't get along with anyone. What he sees in that man is beyond me.
Anni: He's a good guy.
Alexis: I'm sure he is, when the hormones are running and the adrenaline is going.
Anni: I love him.
Alexis: Oh I know you do, but...Men are men. They're pigs and they only want one thing.
Anni: He's not like that.
Alexis: Oh yes I've heard it a million times before. He's either charming, funny, nice, a gentleman or all of those things. But you remember when I taught you. You have to be independant.
Anni: Maybe I'm tired of being independant. He makes me feel like....I don't have to look over my shoulder at everything. He makes me feel safe. Loved.
Alexis: I'm sure he does. That doesn't make him any less of a pig. *walks away*
Anni: *frowns*
Living room
Alexis: Beers and caviar everyone! I never thought I'd say that in a sentence. *sits*
Anni: *walks over, sits*
Speed: *grabs Anni's hand*
Anni: *smiles*
Howard: You two will be staying in the master room. Alexis and I will be downtown tonight.
Alexis: What? I'm staying here.
Howard: No you're not. They need to be alone, without you.
Alexis: We agreed to this. Right Anni?
Anni: Um...It doesn't matter to me.
Alexis: Good. Now, I brought over a video that you might be interested in. My good friend Claudia had a daughter about a year ago and this is the tape of the birth. It's a little graphic but you might be interested in it.
Anni: *wide-eyed* ...
Alexis: Let's all watch it together!
Anni: NO! No we don't need to.
Alexis: I'm popping it in. *grabs tape* I had it handy.
Speed: Do you always do this to guests?
Howard: Yes. She does.
Speed: Oh. Good.
Alexis: *throws DVD into player* I wanted a new one of these magic boxes but Howard's too cheap to get one for me.
Howard: I work 16 hours a day. I'm not cheap, I never have time.
Alexis: *presses play* Okay here we go.
Video starts
Alexis: Isn't Claudia beautiful?
Speed: Oh yeah the pig noises and sweat is really charming.
Alexis: *sigh* I remember when I had to go through this. Such a natural thing.
Video continues
Anni: *screams* What the hell is that!
Speed: That's the doctor's arm.
Anni: Oh thank God.
Fifteen minutes later
Anni: *hiding face in Speed's chest* What are they, murdering her?
Alexis: Oh now the drugs here finally there.
Anni: *lifts head* She didn't have drugs for all of that?
Alexis: Ooh this is the good part. *eats popcorn*
Anni: Where did you get popcorn from?
Video continues
Alexis: Look how big that needle is.
Anni: I think I'm going to puke.
Twenty minutes later
Anni: *staring blankly*
Alexis: *turns off DVD* Well that's all. Wasn't it the most beautiful thing you've ever experienced?
Anni: *staring blankly*
Howard: Well we should be off. Come now dear, let's leave them.
Alexis: Fine. But when I get back here tomorrow we're going to have a long chat. *stands*
Alexis & Howard leave
Anni: *staring blankly*
Speed: You okay? You're squeezing my hand pretty hard.
Anni: ...Wh-Why, why...Why did they do that to her?
Speed: They didn't do anything to her.
Anni: ...I'm not doing that.
Speed: You kind of have to.
Anni: Um easy for you to say, you aren't going to step outside of the car and step into a horror movie.
Speed: You'll be fine.
Anni: Why are you not nervous? What is wrong with you?
Speed: *laughs*
Anni: Do not laugh at me, buster. This is your fault.
Speed: How is this my fault?
Anni: You and your stupid....Stupidness. *gasp* MY MOM WAS RIGHT! MEN ARE PIGS!
Speed: *lifts brow*
Anni: Sorry.

Anni: Um...It doesn't matter to me.
Alexis: Good. Now, I brought over a video that you might be interested in. My good friend Claudia had a daughter about a year ago and this is the tape of the birth. It's a little graphic but you might be interested in it.
Anni: *wide-eyed* ...
Alexis: Let's all watch it together!
Anni: NO! No we don't need to.
Alexis: I'm popping it in. *grabs tape* I had it handy.
Speed: Do you always do this to guests?
Howard: Yes. She does.
Speed: Oh. Good.
Alexis: *throws DVD into player* I wanted a new one of these magic boxes but Howard's too cheap to get one for me.
Howard: I work 16 hours a day. I'm not cheap, I never have time.
Alexis: *presses play* Okay here we go.
Video starts
Alexis: Isn't Claudia beautiful?
Speed: Oh yeah the pig noises and sweat is really charming.
Alexis: *sigh* I remember when I had to go through this. Such a natural thing.
Video continues
Anni: *screams* What the hell is that!
Speed: That's the doctor's arm.
Anni: Oh thank God.
Fifteen minutes later
Anni: *hiding face in Speed's chest* What are they, murdering her?
Alexis: Oh now the drugs here finally there.
Anni: *lifts head* She didn't have drugs for all of that?
Alexis: Ooh this is the good part. *eats popcorn*
Anni: Where did you get popcorn from?
Video continues
Alexis: Look how big that needle is.
Anni: I think I'm going to puke.
Twenty minutes later
Anni: *staring blankly*
Alexis: *turns off DVD* Well that's all. Wasn't it the most beautiful thing you've ever experienced?
Anni: *staring blankly*
Howard: Well we should be off. Come now dear, let's leave them.
Alexis: Fine. But when I get back here tomorrow we're going to have a long chat. *stands*
Alexis & Howard leave
Anni: *staring blankly*
Speed: You okay? You're squeezing my hand pretty hard.
Anni: ...Wh-Why, why...Why did they do that to her?
Speed: They didn't do anything to her.
Anni: ...I'm not doing that.
Speed: You kind of have to.
Anni: Um easy for you to say, you aren't going to step outside of the car and step into a horror movie.
Speed: You'll be fine.
Anni: Why are you not nervous? What is wrong with you?
Speed: *laughs*
Anni: Do not laugh at me, buster. This is your fault.
Speed: How is this my fault?
Anni: You and your stupid....Stupidness. *gasp* MY MOM WAS RIGHT! MEN ARE PIGS!
Speed: *lifts brow*
Anni: Sorry.

Katie's house, midnight
Jack: So um...You seem pretty restless.
Katie: *sigh* I've just been thinking.
Jack: Don't do that. I hate it when women think. It takes away from their beauty.
Katie: *rolls eyes* Charming.
Jack: So what were you thinking about?
Katie: I asked my daughter to come down here for a vacation and...I don't think she'll come.
Jack: I'm sure she'll be here.
Katie: She didn't seem interested in her family.
Jack: You're her family.
Katie: I know. I just want to make sure she's okay.
Jack: I'm sure she's fine.
Katie: Yeah.
Jack: So how about we uh...
Doorbell is heard
Katie: *jumps out of bed, runs*
Jack: Or not. *gets out of bed*
Downstairs
Katie: *opens door*
Lori: Hey mom.
Katie: WHOA speak of the angel I was just talking about you.
Lori: Convenient.
Katie: You made it here I'm so happy! *hugs Lori*
Lori: Well I haven't been to Miami in a long time so here I am.
Katie: Come in, come in.
Lori: *walks inside*
Katie: *closes door* Lori, this is Jack. He's my boyfriend.
Jack: Hi. *extends hand*
Lori: *frowns*
Jack: ...She's related to the cop isn't she.
Lori: You're damn right. Get your hand away from me.
Jack: *lowers hand* I'll go make coffee.
Lori: I don't drink coffee.
Jack: Fine. I'll make...Hot water. *walks away*
Katie: Come sit.
Lori: Mom you could do way better than him.
Katie: I was never good with relationships.
Lori: Leave him.
Katie: I can't.
Lori: Yes you can. I'll kick him out for you. HEY JACK!
Jack: *walks over* Yeah?
Katie: No, Lori don't.
Lori: Take a hike.
Jack: Excuse me?
Lori: *stands* I've had enough of my mother getting involved with jackasses like you so get lost.
Jack: You don't even know me.
Lori: Really. What's my mom wearing and don't look at her.
Jack: Uh...Black pants.
Lori: Get out.
Jack: Fine. *leaves, slams door*
Katie: You can't do that, Lori.
Lori: *sits down* Yes I can.
Katie: I get the feeling you didn't come up here for social reasons.
Lori: The guy I'm investigating fled the county and his last known wherabouts is in Fort Lauderdale.
Katie: Oh.
Lori: I need a place to stay.
Katie: Well you can stay here for sure. I have...Three extra rooms.
Lori: So what do you do with three rooms? Storage?
Katie: Carly's staying here too since her house burned down.
Lori: Is she here now?
Katie: Yeah she's asleep.
Lori: *nods*
Katie: So how did you evade detection for so long in Colombia? I mean with the feds being there a lot and everything.
Lori: I changed my last name to Vasquez. No one blinks twice to it.
Katie: Oh. Are you thinking of keeping that as your last name forever?
Lori: I don't know. It depends on how long I'll be doing my job.
Katie: ...So anything fun happen lately?
Lori: What do you mean?
Katie: Well did you go on vacation or anything? Meet some people, make some friends?
Lori: No. Why would I do that?
Katie: I just thought you'd want to have some fun. You know...Shed that serious look for a while.
Lori: I don't have time for fun.
Katie: Would you like to watch a movie with me? I haven't been able to sleep very well for the past few days and I could use the company.
Lori: I have a lot of paperwork to finish. Do you have a desk somewhere?
Katie: ...Sure.

Lori: I don't know what you mean.
Katie: You're not the same person.
Lori: What did you expect me to be doing, running around with pom poms?
Katie: I don't think you were ever a cheerleader.
Lori: You know what I mean.
Katie: Don't you ever smile? And I don't mean one of those fake ones.
Lori: *flips page*
Katie: You still feel dead to me.
Lori: *lifts head*
Katie: See you in the morning...If you're still here. *walks upstairs*
