Okay, I know there are only about three posts left until the thread ends, but
sissi always expects me to finish off with 1000 posts....Which I often neglect to do. :lol: So this time we're going to hit the mark!
Hm, I wonder how Horatio was able to get House's whiteboard. :lol: Maybe there was some sort of crossover duel and the two bet the whiteboard, lol.
Yup *sigh* I'm still lame. That sometimes works in this story's favor. :lol: ...And I totally just realized I was talking to myself. Thanks for the reviews everyone!
Also, apologies on the short chapter, but it's probably the last chapter of the thread and well...Geni's fingers are a little worn out so I think y'all can last with a short chapter until the next thread, lol. That is if you're going to keep reading into the next thread. :lol:

Five days later, Mental Health Facility, Miami
Katie: *sitting in bed*
Speed: *walks in*
Katie: *lowers head*
Speed: Tox reports came back. *sits down* You could have killed yourself.
Katie: *leans head on knees*
Speed: The city wanted to press charges but Horatio convinced them to keep you here for 90 days.
Katie: *sigh*
Speed: I understand why you did it. It must be hard to love someone, knowing it's wrong.
Katie: *looks at Speed* Are you saying you love me?
Speed: I'm not going to give you the satisfaction of an answer to that. You understand I don't want to make things worse.
Katie: Yeah.
Speed: Look, I'm sorry for all of the crap I did to you years ago. I wasn't thinking and I needed to grow up. The fact that you stuck with me at all is a miracle in itself, but for you to hurt my family when I was the problem, not them is very disappointing. Like I said, I understand but that doesn't make your actions right.
Katie: *scoffs* What are you, Horatio?
Speed: I'm your friend.
Katie: We're a lot more than friends.
Speed: Maybe, but it's not like that.
Katie: You think I wanted to end up this way? Miserable and alone?
Speed: Katie, if you want to lay around angry for the rest of your life blaming everyone else for your problems, go ahead. The world isn't going to stop and wait for you to get your crap together.
Katie: Easy for you to say, you're not stuck in here for 90 days.
Speed: No I'm not.
Katie: *jumps off bed, walks to window* So is Anni okay?
Speed: *stands* She's fine.
Katie: That other girl I shot?
Speed: She's at home, resting.
Katie: Good. *leands head against window*
Speed: You cou-
Katie: No, no. I know what you're going to say. I don't think so. It might have helped you, but I don't like shrinks. All they want is money and fancy furniture.
Speed: It's just an option.
Katie: *shakes head* No, not for me.
Speed: Okay.
Katie: *turns around* But....It...Did help you, right?
Speed: For me, it was a push in the right direction. But ultimately it's what you want to accomplish for yourself.
Katie: *nods*
Cellphone rings
Speed: *grabs phone*
Katie: *looks at phone*
Speed: I have to go.
Katie: Okay.
Speed: ...
Katie: ...
Speed: I'll see you around.
Katie: Yeah.
Speed: *leaves*
Katie: *looks around room*
Hummerhome
Carly: ERIC DELKEKTORSKY!
Delko: *runs over* Yeah?
Carly: Someone got cheesy cheese all over the couch.
Delko: Calleigh did it.
Calleigh: I DID NOT.
Carly: Horatio's due back at the Garage any second now and this place is filthy. We were supposed to clean this thing. We're heading out again.
Calleigh: We are?
Delko: OH GOODIE! MORE STATES!
Carly: Yeah the only problem with H is his memory's goin' so he didn't tell me where we're off to.
Calleigh: *slaps Eric* START SCRUBBING THAT THING UNTIL YOUR HANDS BLEED!
Delko: ...All I have to do is wipe off the couch.
Calleigh: SCRUB! SCRUB! *grabs Eric by the ear*
Delko: AH! AH! GEEZ! Fine, I'm scrubbing. I'm scrubbing the invisible nothings!
Calleigh: *smiles* Good.
Carly: *staring out garage* What...In the hell is that.
Calleigh: *looks out window* Oh ma lord...
Delko: WHAT WHAT WHAT! *jumps onto couch* ...
Carly: Is that what I think it is?
A larger Hummerhome appears before them, blasting music
Horatio: IT'S A DOUBLEDECKER, BABY!
Carly: Oh...No.
Calleigh: ERIC, MUDDY FEET! *slaps Eric*
Delko: OW! *jumps off couch*
Calleigh: You're not finished cleaning.
Delko: Um duh, I just made a whole new mess.
Calleigh: *hands over bucket*
Delko: Ah man! I want to ride in the giant Hummerhome.
Calleigh: Clean this one first.
Delko: But I don't even think we're going to use this one.
Calleigh: I like sparkling clean vehicles.
Delko: Yeah but do you ever get to drive them?
Calleigh: Not everything is a sport, you know.
Delko: ...Racing is.
Calleigh: You want to race Hummerhomes?
Delko: OH MY GOD I JUST HAD THE MOST AWESOME IDEA! LET'S RACE HUMMERHOMES!
Calleigh: ...
Carly: ...
Delko: Any takers?
