:lol: Well Horatio would be 70.
The rest would be in their late 30's to mid 50s. It's not as bad as you think Carly.
Although I try not to go for a direct realism in their ages. Makes headaches less frequent.
Yay! Thanks so much for the reviews everyone.
Aw okay Carly, you now have permission to pee. :lol:
*loosens ropes*

Behind lab
Delko: *looks at watch* It's been fifteen minutes. Where's this ambulance?
Ryan: The station's down the road.
Delko: *sigh*
Jess: I feel okay Eric.
Delko: I'll drive you myself.
Jess: No, just stop. You're panicking over nothing.
Delko: It's not nothing. We're leaving.
Jess: Can you just give me two minutes? I'm not going to just get up and run.
Delko: I'll carry you.
Jess: Eric, no.
Delko: *picks up Jess*
Jess: AH!
Delko: We're going.
Jess: *sigh* Well who am I to argue.
Delko: *lifts brow*
Jess: Ugh, okay put me down before I have another heart attack.
Delko: *puts Jess down*
Jess: I can walk.
Heather: He can pick me up if he wants.
Everyone: *looks at Heather*
Heather: ...Or not.
Jess: *leans back against tree* You know what, maybe we should just wait a few more minutes.
Delko: What, what's wrong?
Jess: I'm just uh, kind of lightheaded.
Lora: Sometimes I feel that way when the sun hits Horatio in just the right way. *sigh*
Everyone: *looks at Lora*
Lora: I'M TRYING TO LIGHTEN THE SITUATION. Sue me.
Sirens are heard
Delko: Good, okay let's go. *grabs Jess*
Eric/Jess leave
Carly: I hope she's okay.
Lora: Pfft she'll be fine. None of us could possibly die. We're too important.
Carly: I don't think death works that way.
Lora: Sure it does.
Carly: Stop assuming everything works the way you say it does.
Lora: Someone's a crab apple.
SUV pulls up
Carly: Well gee finally.
Katie: Is that Josh?
Carly: Yeah he was supposed to be here AN HOUR AGO.
Josh: *closes truck door* Sorry, I was called away. *walks over*
Lora: *smiles* My my my, we have not met.
Josh: Not formally at least.
Lora: Well then, I'm Lora. I'm the awesome road tripper.
Josh: *laughs* I see.
Lora: Oh and he has a nice smile.
Carly: I thought you were after Horatio.
Lora: All in its own time dear.
Katie: I WANT HAND CREAM I WANT HAND CREAM!
Josh: Oh pefect because there's a bunch in the back of my truck.
Katie: You own a truck?
Lora: *pushes Katie* She's just being silly.
Josh: And...Truthful?
Lora: OH MAN Carly was serious? Ugh. Well damn.
Katie: *rubs arm* Ow.
Lora: *smiles* So sailor, do you have a
last name? *winks*
Josh: Sailor?
Lora: OH no no, I didn't mean to offend. You know, it was just a general statement. Sailors are very manly people, well unless they're women and in that case they aren't manly. I personally love sailors. Hardy har har...Arrrrr. *laughs* Um...*coughs* I totally just made the gay man mad at me didn't I?
Josh: Don't worry about it Lora.
Lora: Can I poke you?
Josh: What?
Lora: NO! No I didn't mean it like that! Ugh, okay so like I know this isn't some kind of zoo. Gay people are good people. Not any different from the rest of us. *sigh* I just keep diggin'. I've just never met one of you. HEY can we go shopping? Wait, why are you still married? YOU'RE LIVING A LIE! Date Colton, he's available.
Colton: No he's not.
Carly: Okay I think we've all had fun with the stereotypes and it's been a big laugh but how about we all knock it off for a while.
Josh: *hands keys to Carly* Your new truck awaits.
Carly: Thank you. What are you driving home?
Lora: HAHA!
Carly: *rolls eyes*
Josh: I have a car out front.
Carly: Good. Did you need me to pick up Ethan from school?
Josh: I actually just came from there. His principal wanted a word.
Carly: *sigh* He didn't hurt anyone, did he?
Josh: Not seriously.
Carly: And I suppose you've been his friend more than his father.
Lora: OOOOOOOOOH.
Josh: There's nothing stopping you from punishing him.
Carly: You have custody of him.
Josh: It doesn't mean you can't be a parent.
Carly: *frowns*
Lora: Fight! Fight! Fight! F-
Katie: *covers Lora's mouth*
Carly: Ugh. *walks away*
Josh: *smiles* So anyway, where were we?
Colton: Having a memorial service.
Lora: Yeah it was a blast. I played cricket.
Katie: You hit me in the head with the stick.
Lora: That's because you hit me first.
Katie: Can I have the hand cream now?
Josh: Sure, this way ladies.
Lora: Wee! He called me a lady.
Near truck
Josh: Now I have 5 different kinds but those all have sub variations.
Katie: Oooh what's the best smelling?
Josh: Morning dew but I hear roasted melon is great.
Katie: How can you roast a melon?
Josh: Honey you can roast anything.
Katie: I see. *opens lid* WHEW that smells weird.
Josh: Here, try this one. *hands over container*
Katie: *sniffs* OH I LIKE IT IT SMELLS LIKE PEACHES!
Josh: It's called Peach.
Katie: YAY! *hugs Josh* I love peaches.
Josh: *laughs*
Lora: Okay so do you have any men's products? I want to get Horatio something.
Josh: Yeah there's plenty here.
Katie: Why do you want to get Horatio something? His birthday isn't for three weeks.
Lora: Yeah and I want to be prepared before the rest of you losers. Something that smells good please.
Josh: Well what does he like? Because I have uh...*grabs box* Forest fresh, tropical breeze, new car smell...Okay that one didn't belong there.
Katie: I think he'd like new car smell.
Lora: *slaps Katie*
Katie: OW.
Josh: Oh hun, you should go with this one. *lifts box* Venice waterfall. It's simply fabulous.
Lora: *smiles* Oooh. *grabs box*
Katie: What does it smell like?
Lora: *sniffs* ...A waterfall. THIS IS AMAZING!
Josh: It really is. See, I use this one. *grabs box*
Katie: *sniffs* WHOA.. You should NOT be wearing this.
Josh: Why?
Katie: Because I like it too much.
Josh: So buy it for your significant other.
Katie: Oh I don't have one.
Josh: So buy it for people you'd
like to be your significant other. *elbows Katie*
Katie: *smiling* Shut up.
Lora: What, like Speed? Pssh, it'll never happen.
Katie: Lora you ruin everything.
Lora: What you do is go for a hot brother.
Josh: He's not available.
Lora: How would you know? You dating him or something?
Josh: *laughs*
Katie: This
is his brother.
Lora: NO.
Katie: Yes.
Lora: *tilts head* But...But...You're so nice.
Josh: Thank you.
Lora: SPEEDLE!
Speed: *looks over* Yeah!
Lora: Make like your brother and start dating dudes.
Speed: I'm happy with my wife, thanks.
Lora: Pssh. Loser.
Josh: So girls, the fragrances go for 25 dollars a piece.
Lora: I'll give ya 10 bucks.
Josh: Okay, let me empty three quarters of the container then.
Lora: See I knew he'd pull sarcasm at some point. I KNEW IT.
Josh: How about 20.
Lora: I'll give you 15.
Josh: 18.
Lora: 17.
Josh: You don't have an extra dollar?
Lora: Of course I do, I'm just cheap.
Josh: Okay, 17 dollars it is. But you owe me.
Lora: Like what?
Josh: You have to sell two containers of hand cream.
Lora: No problem. Katie, want to buy hand cream?
Katie: Not from you.
Heather: *runs over* I heard hand cream. I want some.
Lora: I have some for you.
Heather: No, I want it from Josh.
Katie: Well Lora has to pay him back so she has to sell it.
Heather: I don't care.
Josh: It doesn't really matter who sells it.
Missy: *runs over* I hear you're selling hand cream. Me wants, like NOW.
Katie: Wow, this entire thing was in earshot the whole time, what changed?
Missy: *extends hand*
Heather: Josh can I try some samples?
Josh: Sure. *reaches down into truck*
Heather: YAY! *jumps up and down*
Josh: *grabs box* Okay, these ones are all the samples for the Desire collection.
Heather: OH I want to be desired! I want to be desired!
Josh: I think this one would suit you.
Heather: Desert wind? I'm a desert wind?
Josh: You radiate with beauty under the evening sun.
Heather: *oggling* Oooh I like that.
Lora: I WANT IT! SCREW YOU! I'll give you half a paperclip and a piece of lint. My final offer.
