YAY COWS!
Welcome back Carly, I'm assuming you had fun.
Oh and no worries about not getting here because of exams. I'm in the same situation, so that's why I haven't been around as much as I've wanted to.
Hehe, thanks for the reviews everyone!
P.S. I swear Lori won't be in any more chapters after this one. *lifts right hand* I swear.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Car, road
Lora: So, how come you didn't thank Josh?
Carly: He was just doing that because the guy insulted his gayness.
Lora: *scratches head* So why'd he marry you?
Carly: He wanted a family.
Heather: Well, couldn't he get that from adoption?
Carly: He told me that his dad never accepted him because he was gay so he tried hard not to seem like he was when he was living at home but then he left and he was free to be who he was and then he got to Miami and he felt he needed Speed's acceptance even though he didn't know why so he married me.
Lora/Heather: ...
Carly: Long story short anyway.
Heather: But you love him, right?
Carly: It's kind of hard to love someone who only made you punch out a couple of kids so he didn't look bad in front of his brother.
Lora: And that's why you two separated?
Carly: Yeah. But no worries, people make mistakes.
Lora: But you guys were like...the only ones who were working out.
Carly: I don't really want to talk about it anymore if that's okay.
Lora: It's not but whatever turns your pages. *shrugs*
Miami, Lobby
Anni: *leans on counter* Is he out of holding yet?
Paula: *typing* Yep, he should be out here anytime soon.
Anni: Thanks.
Speed: *walks over* Looking for me?
Anni: *turns around* Yes, actually. You ready to go?
Speed: Where.
Anni: The team's going to Vermont.
Speed: *nods*
Anni: ...You are coming with us, right?
Speed: Actually uh, yeah but I need to meet with someone first.
Anni: Oh, okay. Anything I can help with?
Speed: No. I'll see you later though.
Anni: ...And I guess this is my cue to exit.
Speed: *stares at Anni*
Anni: Right. Well, see you later. *walks away*
Speed: *looks at desk* Is she available yet?
Paula: Mhm. I paged her. She's at PD.
Speed: Thanks. *leaves*
Police department
Speed: *walks over*
Lori: *writing things down*
Speed: You got a minute?
Lori: *lifts head, smiles* Hey.
Speed: *smirks*
Lori: I heard you guys are leavin' soon. Vermont must be nice this time of year.
Speed: I need your help.
Lori: ...You need my help. *smiling* Well things sure have come full circle.
Speed: You know how many times I stared down at my weapon and thought it would be easier than looking in my wife's face?
Lori: *crosses arms* Easier, what do you mean easier? You want to hurt her?
Speed: No.
Lori: You want to blow your own head off.
Speed: *looks around*
Lori: Why are you telling me this?
Speed: I trust you.
Lori: *places hands on hips*
Speed: I'm done screwing up.
Lori: You want my help? My advice? Tell Horatio. Because if you don't, I will. I'm not going to stand here and let another person I love destroy himself. Guess what? Life sucks, it does for everyone. It doesn't mean you have the right to end it.
Speed: You're right, I don't. I actually spoke to Horatio, I told him to get my guns.
Lori: *lifts brows*
Speed: *pulls out two guns*
Lori: *looks down at guns*
Speed: *places guns on desk* Keep them.
Lori: ...
Speed: I've been thinking a lot lately about how I treated your mother. Everytime I was angry with Anni, I'd think about it. No man deserves to live after doing that.
Lori: You drank a lot back then.
Speed: *looks at Lori*
Lori: You don't think mom noticed?
Speed: *looks down at floor*
Lori: Mom's forgiven you. I mean hell, she won't stop gushing all over you.
Speed: *smirks*
Lori: Bottom line is, you're not perfect and it doesn't make you evil. It makes you human.
Speed: *nods*
Lori: Besides, being angry all these years have been enough of a punishment.
Speed: How did you get so smart?
Lori: *smiles* I observe people for a living, remember?
