Thanks for the reviews and I know I promised last night to update, but we all know how that goes.
SO, here I am!
Onward!

Hummerhome, 11pm
Katie: *sitting in bed* Hey Carly?
Carly: Mm.
Katie: Are you awake?
Carly: Mm.
Katie: ...I'm sorry I made you sleep on the floor.
Carly: Mm.
Katie: Are you even listening to me?
Carly: Mm.
Katie: *throws clock*
Carly: I'm up. *sits up* What is it?
Katie: You weren't listening.
Carly: I was, I was, I...Think.
Katie: *sigh* I can't get to sleep.
Carly: *crawls onto bed* Okay spill.
Katie: My hand is so empty.
Carly: ...Were you expecting it to be hairy and full of spots?
Katie: No. I was just so used to spinning my wedding ring when I was bored and now all I have to spin is...My skin which by the way doesn't spin as well as metal.
Carly: You want to spin
my ring for a while?
Katie: No thanks.
Carly: Your loss.
Katie: *sigh*
Carly: You can't keep doing this.
Katie: Doing what?
Carly: Acting like everything's okay and then the next minute you're depressed. Let him go, for God's sake...And yours.
Katie: I can't.
Carly: I don't care. Yeah life hurts like hell but you can't stay like this forever.
Katie: You don't know what it's like to lose everything.
Carly: No I don't. But you haven't haven't lost everything. You have us, you have Lori and no matter how many damn times he denies it, you have Speed too so pull your head out of your ass.
Katie: *stares blankly* I wonder what it would be like for
him to lose everything. His little
wife, his little baby, his precious. Little. Girl.
Carly: *stares at Katie*
Katie: *smirks*
Carly: ...
Katie: Well, goodnight. *turns over*
Carly: ...
Miami Lab, next morning
Ryan: *runs over*
Lilly: *runs over*
Speed: Where were you two?
Ryan: Bathroom.
Lilly: Bathroom. No, truck.
Ryan: Yeah you were at the truck.
Lilly: Definitely.
Speed: *blinks* Okay. I'm not interrogating you, it was just a question.
Ryan: Oh.
Lilly: Okay.
Speed: I'll be in the Trace Lab. *walks away*
Ryan: *sigh* Why did you have to say the same thing as me?
Lilly: I wasn't going to lie.
Ryan: Neither was I.
Lilly: *rubs eyes* Okay maybe we should just...Get to work.
Ryan: You tired?
Lilly: Well I didn't get much sleep last night, Wolfe.
Ryan: Oh.
Lilly: *sigh*
Ryan: *looks around*
Lilly: You ever feel like you want to say something but then you totally forgot what it was and you stand here frustrated?
Ryan: No.
Lilly: Okay then.
Ryan: Something wrong?
Lilly: This lab seems completely empty. Where's everyone?
Ryan: In a Hummerhome.
Lilly: I'm going to have to take a look at this 'Hummerhome'.
Ryan: It's not really that spectacular.
Lilly: If it was a giant diamond would it be spectacular?
Ryan: Depends how shiney.
Lilly: *laughs* You're that shallow.
Ryan: I am not shallow.
Lilly: *punches Ryan* You are.
Ryan: Am not.
Lilly: Are too.
Ryan: I feel like I'm in a time loop. Everytime you say something, I say something and then we end up arguing and then we don't do our jobs and then well one of us is bound to get in trouble.
Lilly: Meaning you.
Ryan: Why would I get in trouble?
Lilly: I'm a newbie. I don't know any better.
Ryan: *frowns* I was a newbie once and I always got into trouble.
Lilly: That's because men are idiots.
Ryan: Sorry for being born.
Lilly: Apology accepted.
