Geni, you're the best at this. If I was rich and would SERIOUSLY take every chapter you've ever written and publish it a book for you. Then sell them world-wide. (If i had money to spare of course) But i would! i wouldn't think twice about it!
Awww that's so sweet, thanks.

Miami, Club Ozone
Tripp: *looks down at pad of paper*
Josh: *walks under tape* Hey, what do we have?
Alexx: *looks up* Jon Doe, between 19 and 25 years old. He was found this morning by the cleaning crew.
Tripp: *looks around* I've never been to this place before, is it new?
Alexx: *scoffs* I'd be a little scared if you
had been here Frank, honey. This is a gay club.
Josh: *kneels* Jeans and a t-shirt, not exactly dressed for a night on the town.
Tripp: Is there a dress code in these types of places?
Josh: *looks up*
Tripp: *clears throat*
Alexx: No wallet, no ID, no cash and there's a white band around his middle finger indicative of a ring. We might be looking at a robbery gone bad.
Josh: You have a possible cause of death?
Alexx: There's bruising around the neck and I found skin under his fingernails. Possible strangulation.
Josh: Crime of passion.
Tripp: He seems a little young to be in a place like this.
Josh: *stands* Kids go where they feel accepted. Places like these probably don't check all the IDs at the door. Or he could have run in here after closing.
Tripp: I'll get the security tapes and talk to the owner. *walks away*
Alexx: Wait a second...*lifts body*
Josh: You find something?
Alexx: *reaches underneath body* I think so...*lifts item* Looks like a receipt.
Josh: Could have fallen out of his pocket. *grabs receipt* It's a credit card receipt for a gas station.
Alexx: Can you track down his ID from it?
Josh: Yeah.
Alexx: *stands* Josh honey?
Josh: *looks up from receipt* Yeah?
Alexx: I saw Cait yesterday at the mall. She was with an older boy near the washrooms.
Josh: Really.
Alexx: Yeah. I thought I should let you know.
Josh: *nods* Thanks.
Alexx: Are you mad?
Josh: No, no I'm not mad.
Alexx: *smiles* Mhm.
Josh: *lifts brow* What.
Alexx: I've seen that look before from another CSI. Good luck with Cait, baby. *walks away*
Josh: *frowns*
Miami Lab
Natalia: *walks over* Got a hit from the credit card receipt. Hendry Golas. DMV sent over his file. *hands over file*
Josh: *opens file*
Natalia: He's from Colorado, been living here for two years.
Josh: *nods* I just got back from autopsy. There was some trace on his hands, it's running through the GCMS now.
Natalia: You processed it?
Josh: *lifts head* What?
Natalia: It was just...a question.
Printer beeps
Natalia: Anyway. *walks over to printer, grabs paper* Polyeurethane and...vaseline. Who would have access to that in a gay club?
Josh: Actually, it's quite common.
Natalia: You know what it is?
Josh: A condom. Polyeurethane condoms feel thinner than they actually are because they conduct heat better.
Natalia: *stares at Josh*
Josh: *smiles* Statistical analysis report.
Natalia: Right.
Josh: *clears throat* So that means our victim was probably inside the club at the time of the murder. Cause of death was suffocation due to strangulation.
Natalia: So he was intimate with someone at the club, then got strangled.
Josh: Most likely.
Natalia: I didn't find any condoms when I searched the place.
Josh: The cleaning crew found him.
Natalia: So they probably emptied all the garbages and cleaned all the toilets. Great. You up for a little dumpster diving?
Josh: *smiles* I would love to go through a dumpster with you.
Natalia: *smiles*
Greece, club, 11pm
Katie: *pokes Colton, giggles*
Colton: *rolls eyes* You know, I think you just cleared out the club from all the whiskey.
Katie: Y'know...you have the most prettiest eyes I have EVER seen. They're so...BUE.
Colton: Blue.
Katie: That's what I said. *grabs Colton's shirt* It makes you SMEXY.
Colton: *pushes Katie* You need to go bother someone else or..get arrested or something.
Katie: You know what I like about you? You're HONEST. And you're HOT. I just wanna lick th-
Colton: Stop. *stands*
Katie: Where you goin'?
Colton: I'm not telling you. *walks away*
Katie: I'LL FIND YOU!
Calleigh: *runs over, sits* Horatio just got finished teaching everyone the bunny hop, it was SO FUN!
Katie: *sniffles*
Calleigh: You okay?
Katie: I'm WASTED.
Calleigh: I see. And that makes you sad?
Katie: No. It's just...*sigh* Colton's like, he ran away from me. It's not like I was like this like big like uber goober or something! I think I totally said the wrong thing.
Calleigh: Oh, why, what did you say?
Katie: *hiccups* I said he was hot.
Calleigh: Well, I'm sure he understands that you're not exactly...sane at the moment.
Katie: No no no, I meant it. Like, 'cause like, he like, he was all romantic when we went on that date and everything. Like, he like, he paid for my FOOD. He even walked me back to the hotel and he didn't even try to feel me up.
Calleigh: *nods slowly* So you like Colton now?
Katie: No. Well, yes. Well, no. Maybe? I don't know. I'm confuzzled. He's just...I like his personality. 'Cause he says what he says and it's really funny 'cause it's always so sarcastic even though like, he used to be this sweet guy but apparently he changed and now he's all-
Calleigh: Like Speed.
Katie: ...
Calleigh: *scratches head*
Katie: Huh. You know, Calleigh, you're a smart woman. I appreciate that about you. I think I need another drink. *hobbles away*
Calleigh: Let me know if you want to talk about anything else!
Booth, across room
Anni: *sighs, sits* Ah the bunny hop. I've suddenly just got flashbacks to 8th grade....and why am I talking to myself? *drinks beer*
Delko: *runs over, sits* Hey.
Anni: *smiles* Hey! Did you see Horatio over there? He definitely won over the crowd, I think.
Delko: I have a personal question.
Anni: Fire away.
Delko: What do women want?
Anni: Oh honey, there was a whole movie about that. Mel Gibson was great but seemed a little washed up.
Delko: Jess doesn't want to be with me.
Anni: Okay, 'be' how?
Delko: Just together. I want to spend the rest of my life with her.
Anni: Aww! That's so cute, you go for it.
Delko: I already tried. She said that I wasn't ready for it.
Anni: I see. Well do you think you are?
Delko: ...I thought I was. I mean, she's all I think about, I...I care about her so much. And it's not about sleeping with her, I just want to
be with her and finish what we started. Have a family, a real family.
Anni: Did you tell her that?
Delko: No.
Anni: Maybe you should.
Delko: She says I'm not serious. I don't know how I can convince her.
Anni: Then you'll have to try, any way you can. Make her see it. She wants you to.
Delko: How do you know?
Anni: She told me like a half hour ago.
Delko: *laughs*
Anni: *smiles*
Delko: *smile fades* Hey uh, can I ask you another question?
Anni: Sure. I feel a lot like Dr. Phil today anyway.
Delko: How are things between you and Speed? I mean, relationship-wise. I'm just curious since you two seem happy.
Anni: Um...things are great. Yeah, we're thinking about getting a new house.
Delko: Great. So he's...good to you.
Anni: *lifts brow* What's this about?
Delko: Well I...I asked in passing if he maybe...hit you?
Anni: Why would you ask him that?
Delko: What other way has he ever kept his marriages going?
Anni: *laughs* I think you're a little paranoid. He's never laid a hand on me.
Delko: Good. Because I swore to him if he did it again, I'd kill him.
Anni: Look, I appreciate your concern but you have nothing to worry about. You should be concentrating on you and Jess.
Delko: *scratches head*
Anni: What, what is it?
Delko: Something's just bugging me. He doesn't seem right.
Anni: Who, Speed? Eric, there's nothing wrong with him.
Delko: Then why'd he get defensive and run off when I asked him?
Anni: Because he's a private guy and he probably wasn't proud of what he'd done.
Delko: What if he's doing it again? Maybe not to you but someone else.
Anni: Eric, you're fishing for nothing.
Delko: He lied to me when he said he didn't know what Horatio was doing in South America. He's evasive, tempermental, b-
Anni: Stop. You're just doing this so you don't have to deal with Jess.
Delko: Have you seen anything out of the ordinary? When you were back home?
Anni: *angry sigh* ....*looks up from table*
Delko: What.
Anni: Before we left...Lori was visiting. He um...they were arguing, which isn't exactly a rare thing. I wasn't really paying attention, I was folding laundry in the bedroom. But...
Delko: But what.
Anni: I heard a crash. When I came out to see what had happened, Lori was gone. I asked him what the noise was and he said he dropped something.
Delko: What do
you think happened?
Anni:
I think he dropped something, like he said. I just found it weird. Does he have a temper? Yeah. Would he slap someone around? Not likely anymore.
Delko: So he says.
Anni: I trust him. If he says he didn't hurt anyone, then he didn't.
Delko: What's Lori's number?
Anni: I don't know. Eric, let it go.
Delko: You opened the door. *stands, leaves*
Anni: *sigh*
Outside
Delko: *walks out*
Speed: *standing near wall*
Delko: Can we talk?
Speed: Sure.
Delko: I heard you got into an argument with Lori.
Speed: Random.
Delko: I was speaking around. Anyway, before I call her and hear her side of things, what were you two fighting about?
Speed: If you want to impress Jess with your CSI skills, you might try a real crime.
Delko: You hit her?
Speed: No.
Delko: You push her?
Speed: Go do something meaningful with your time instead of berating me with nonsense.
Delko: *shoves Speed against wall* You've been avoiding every question I've been asking you. And I want to know why. Why do you have to lie?
Speed: I didn't tell you one thing and you think I'm beating the crap out of my daughter.
Delko: Are you?
Speed: Yeah, she's tied up in her basement.
Delko: This isn't a joke.
Speed: I'm not joking.
Delko: ...What?
Speed: *lifts brows* You sure don't appreciate April Fools. Anni's messing with your head. Lighten up.
Anni: *walks over*
Delko: You have got to be kidding me.
Speed: This is why Jess keeps shooting you down. You don't know the difference between something actually serious and something that obviously isn't. Don't string yourself up so tight.
Anni/Speed highfive and walk away
Delko: ...Okay! That was mean!
