Wee! Thanks so much for the reviews. I see I got Jess in here again.
Mwaha. All we need now is to get Katie to sign in.
And Jess' situation will take a 180 so we'll get into that pretty soon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8pm, Hummerhome
Horatio: Okay team, it's time for dinner.
Lora: You should have said that 4 hours ago.
Horatio: Better late than never. It's my motto.
Delko: I thought your motto was 'we never close'.
Horatio: I tried to get that on Miami's government buildings but they said no one would know what that means.
Delko: So...They'd know what 'better late than never' was.
Horatio: Yes.
Carly: I think the Hummerhome needs a motto. We could paint it on the side and everything.
Lora: How about 'if we're on fire, call 9-1-1.'
Horatio: Lora.
Lora: What?
Delko: How about 'wide load'
Calleigh: That's horrible.
Ryan: And not much of a motto.
Jess: *opens door* Speed, can you come here?
Speed: *looks over* If it's a woman thing I don't want anything to do with it.
Jess: It's not.
Speed: Okay. *stands, leaves*
Delko: Why didn't she want my help?
Lora: Because you want to call us 'wide load'.
Delko: Well I meant the Hummerhome!
Jess' room
Jess: *sits on bed*
Speed: What's up?
Jess: *throws container onto bed*
Speed: *looks down*
Jess: I've been taking those since we left California.
Speed: Why?
Jess: Because I have an infection.
Speed: Eric asked if you were alright.
Jess: Yeah well Eric thinks he's mature enough to handle things but he isn't.
Speed: You should give Eric more credit.
Jess: I don't want him to know I'm on medication.
Speed: Why?
Jess: *sigh* Because it wasn't prescribed to me. It...Alena got it when she broke her arm.
Speed: *nods*
Jess: I don't want to get Horatio involved because he'll just cuddle me or hold my hand. If I tell Eric, he'll get mad or just laugh at me or something. If I tell Calleigh, she'll tell Horatio. If I tell Katie, she'll probably take the pills from me and dance around the room. I mean, you're the only one who's gone through this kind of thing. Besides, you're not a cop.
Speed: *sits*
Jess: So what am I going to do?
Speed: You're going to go to the hospital and get proper treatment.
Jess: But then everyone will know about the whole thing.
Speed: Your reputation doesn't matter.
Jess: Yes it does! I have a kid, do you know what Eric will do if he finds out his ex wife is flying high? I'll have social services on my ass so fast.
Speed: I don't think Eric would do that.
Jess: I don't want to take that chance.
Speed: Okay. Tonight, I'll take you to the hospital.
Jess: *nods*
Speed: But after this, you have to tell someone else your problems.
Jess: *laughs* Deal.
Speed: Alright. *stands, leaves*
Hummerhome area
Lora: You ever get that part of your butt that itches but you can't quite reach it?
Katie: That's called herpes.
Lora: *frowns*
Calleigh: *bouncing on couch* This bubble wrap is kind of fun.
Delko: Can we decorate our hotel rooms with this stuff too?
Horatio: It's not decoration it's for safety and protection.
Ryan: Is it bullet proof?
Horatio: No.
Ryan: ...Well that's useless. We'll be known as the CSIs from Miami that use bubble wrap instead of kevlar.
Horatio: I'm still alive, aren't I?
Calleigh: What would you ever do if you didn't have a gun?
Horatio: I'd throw my shoe.
Ryan: Knowing his luck, it would actually do some damage.
Delko: How come I can't get so lucky? I always shoot my gun but the bullets never seem to take down the bad guys. Then when Horatio shoots his gun, all of the evil-doers in Miami go down.
Calleigh: It's Karma.
Delko: I have Karma.
Ryan: I've never seen Horatio shoot a woman.
Everyone: *looks at Ryan*
Ryan: Well it's true. All the evil people are guys.
Horatio: I'd shoot a woman if need be.
Calleigh: I thought you didn't want to shoot anyone.
Horatio: Times have changed. I'm like a cross between James Bond and John McClain.
Delko: But you look more like Conan O'Brian and William H. Macy.
Horatio: With style.
Calleigh: Just once I'd like to see a woman James Bond.
Delko: You opting for a movie deal, Cal?
Calleigh: *smiles* I don't think it would do any harm.
12am--outside Hummerhome
Speed: *opens Hummer door* Good thing H brought a Hummer along.
Jess: *gets into Hummer* Won't they be mad that we took it?
Speed: Probably. *closes door*
On the road
Jess: *looks out window* This is stupid.
Speed: What is.
Jess: The whole thing with me and Eric. I obviously don't trust him enough to tell him anything.
Speed: Well Eric's head has always been in the clouds anyhow.
Jess: *scoffs* Wow.
Speed: What?
Jess: Here I am having girl talk with a guy I barely ever talk to.
Speed: *tilts head* I have a daughter. Girl talk comes naturally to me.
Jess: *laughs*
Speed: *smirks*
Jess: *looks in mirror* That person behind us is coming up pretty fast.
Speed: Maybe he wants to pass.
Truck slams into Hummer
Jess: *grabs onto door*
Speed: *turns wheel*
Jess: Ugh, idiot!
Speed: *looks out driver window*
Jess: What?
Speed: He's getting out.
Jess: Should we do something?
Speed: Grab me the gun that's in the glove compartment.
Jess: *opens glove compartment* ...There's just a holster.
Speed: Great.
Guy: *wearing mask* GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE!
Speed: *opens door*
Side of the road
Guy: *points gun at Jess* GET ON YOUR KNEES!
Jess: I don't understand what you want.
Guy: *pushes Jess*
Jess: AH! *falls over*
Guy: You too.
Speed: *gets onto knees*
Jess: They don't sound Russian.
Speed: I don't think they are.
Guy: *ties Jess' hands together*
Jess: Who are you guys?
Guy: Stop talking.
Jess: You know, this isn't exactly new so I'm not scared.
Guy: So maybe you should start worrying about
Alena.
Jess: *blinks* What?
Guy: *pushes Jess into truck*
Speed: *reaches hand under Hummer*
Guy2: So what do we do with him?
Guy: The boss said not to leave anyone as a witness.
Guy2: Okay. *pulls out gun*
Guy: *grabs gun* He also said not to kill anyone yet.
Guy2: Oh.
Guy: We take him too.
Abandoned prison
Guy: *shoves Jess into cell*
Jess: AH! *falls over*
Guy2: *shoves Speed into cell*
Speed: *falls against wall*
Guy: Comfortable?
Jess: Why did you mention my daughter?
Guy: Because she's here.
Jess: Why.
Guy: The boss wanted her here.
Jess: WHY!
Guy: *shuts door, locks it*
Jess: *runs to door* WHERE IS SHE! *banging on door* WHERE'S ALENA! *sigh* Well this is perfect. *rubs arm* Ugh.
Speed: You okay?
Jess: *scoffs* No, I'm not okay. I've just been kidnapped, my child is here somewhere, the team has NO idea we're out here and my arm is killing me.
Speed: Well, the team's going to know we're out here soon. *reaches into pocket, grabs object*
Jess: What is that?
Speed: GPS locator.
Jess: *laughs* Thank God.
Speed: It'll give them a heads up at least.
Jess: So we need a plan to get out of here.
Speed: Yeah. Well we'll have to wait until morning so we can see as much as possible. Did you notice the emblem on the one guy's jacket?
Jess: No.
Speed: It said TER.
Jess: ...
Speed: *lifts brow* That mean something?
Jess: *nods* I haven't seen it in a while. It's a gang called 'The Easy Ryders'. They're from Wyoming.
Speed: Where you used to live.
Jess: Yeah. My brother joined them when I was a little kid. My mother disowned him for a drowining that happened at a quary down our yard.
Speed: You're saying you know these people.
Jess: I didn't have much contact with them. I was sent to live with my grandparents when I was 7 because my dad had a heart attack. It was just two years after my mom was killed in Miami during a bank r...
Speed: What?
Jess: The way we got run off the road, how would you describe it?
Speed: More like a standard pit maneuver.
Jess: *nods* Great.
Speed: Care to share with the class?
Jess: My brother Mason is holding us here.
Speed: You never mentioned a brother before.
Jess: That's because I don't have much contact with him. *sigh* I can't believe he found me.
Speed: What does he want?
Jess: I don't know. But we need to find a way out, soon.
