[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki is sitting on the top rung
of the fence, watching Liam work with one of the horses.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley comes around the corner of a
barn and spots Nikki sitting on a fence. Haley wanders over to
lean against the fence next to Nikki.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley: Hey Nikki.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley says her eyes out where
Nikki's are, on Liam and the horse.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki turns and looks over her
shoulder. She smiles at Haley and pats the fence rung next to
her.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: Hey you. Join me.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki says, motioning Haley to join
her.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: Where have you been? I
hardly see you anymore.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki says with a giggle.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley: Good. Great, actually[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley replies with a grin as she
hosts herself up onto the fence.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: You do look rather pleased
with yourself.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki teases.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: What's up?[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki asks, quirking an
eyebrow.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley: Well... I'm not actually
sure what to think...[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley replies.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki looks at Haley.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: This sounds serious. Want to
go someplace a little more private to talk?[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki asks, curiously.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley: Umm... yeah[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley says a little
hesitantly[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki swings her legs over to the
outside of the fence and jumps down.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: Follow me.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki says and heads for the
house.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley slides down from the fence
and follows Nikki[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Instead of going in the back gate
of the house, Nikki leads Haley around the house and a about 500
yards away. She stops under a thicket of trees and sits down on
the ground, leaning against the trunk of a large oak.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: Now.....what's on your mind,
Kiddo?[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki asks as she waits for Haley
to sit down.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley plops down onto the ground
next Nikki[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley: Well...[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley shifts a little, wondering if
she'd just be better off spitting it out.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: That's a deep subject for
shallow minds.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki teases.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley snorts and laughs at that
comment.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley: That it is.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley agrees.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki thinks how grown up Haley has
become since being here.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley: So umm... What do you think
of Brandon?[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley asks, wanting to hear Nikki's
hopefully, unbiased opinion[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: He seems like a real nice
guy. And it's clear that he really is fond of you.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki says with a teasing
smirk.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: Why do you ask?[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki asks, quirking an eyebrow
questioningly.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley: He umm.... proposed.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley says watching Nikki for her
reaction.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: He....proposed?[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki asks, surprised[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: As in will you marry
me?[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley: Uh huh.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley nods affirmatively.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: You're kidding.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki says, excitedly.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: Sooo? What did you
say?[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki asks, sitting forward and
looking intently at Haley[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley: I want to say yes but... I
told him I needed to think about it and that I wanted to talk to
you about it.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley replies honestly.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: You want to say yes?[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki asks, a bit surprised. She
had expected that Haley would tell her that she was ready to
high tail it out of there. The fact that she wants to say yes
speaks volumes about how much Haley has grown.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley: I think so... but at the
same time, I'm not sure I'm ready, I mean... I am only
17.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley replies.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: Do you love him?[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki asks, seriously.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley: I'm rather new to the whole
concept of love... But I think so.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley says.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: Can you describe how you
feel when you're with him?[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki asks, plucking a blade of
green sweet grass from the ground and sucking on the end of
it.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley: I... I miss him when he's
not with me, even though I know it won't be long before I see
him. And when I do see him, my heart.. jumps. It and
everything.. it feels lighter, seams brighter when I'm with
him... does that make any sense?[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley asks shaking her head a
little as she tries to put her feelings into words.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki smiles and nods.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: Makes perfect sense. How do
you feel when you guys are apart?[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki asks, still looking intently
at Haley.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley: I miss him. I wish he was
with me, or I with him.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley replies promptly.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: Well....guess what.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki says with a giggle.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: You are definitely in love.
No bout a doubt it.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki says with a laugh.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley: Well that's good to
know.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley sighs.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: Soo? Are you going to say
yes?[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki presses.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley: I don't know.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley huffs slightly.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley: I want to, I'm just not sure
it's a good idea.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: Why not?[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki asks, furrowing her brow. For
Haley to have found love is a HUGE milestone. And Nikki would
hate to see her throw it away out of fear.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley: I'm only 17 which is really
young for marriage. And given my history I'm not not sure I'm
not sure I'd make a good wife... and Brandon.. Brandon deserves
better than me.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley sighs.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: Haley Colson.....you HAVE to
stop thinking like that. You are an awesome person.
Brandon....or any guy for that matter, would be lucky to have
you.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki says, adamantly[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley smiles at Nikki adamant
defense of herself.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: And as to making a good
wife.....nobody gets it right at first. It's not something that
comes naturally....like scratching an itch or sneezing.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki says.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: Remember...Brandon's young,
too. And he's never been married before so you will both be
learning together. The best way to learn.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki says, matter of
factly.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley: I suppose that if proposed
that means he wants me, and if he wants me, who am I to argue
about what he wants.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley says more to herself.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: He wants you.....you want
him. Sounds pretty perfect to me.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki says with a wink.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: You deserve to be loved and
to be happy, Haley.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki says, reaching out and taking
Haley's hands in hers.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: I am so very happy for you.
You guys look great together. And you're still young enough that
you have your whole lives ahead of you.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley: I'm glad you approve.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley grins feeling
relieved.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]As Nikki leans over and hugs Haley,
a thought comes to mind and she places her hands on Haley’s
upper arms and pulls her back, looking directly into her
eyes.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: You know.....if you get
married....you become a legal adult. You know what that
means?[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki asks with a new
excitement.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley shakes her head.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley: No...[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley says not sure what Nikki is
getting at.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki: You don't have to live with
a parent.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Nikki says and watches Haley's
expression.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley: Of course I
wouldn't....[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley starts then trails off as she
realizes exactly what Nikki WAS getting at.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley: I'd never have to see him
again.[/font]
[font=times new roman, serif]Haley whispers her eyes shining at
the thought.[/font]

[font=gisha]Wayne is on the phone at his desk. After a few
minutes of conversation, he hangs up and walks into Larry's
office.[/font]
[font=gisha][Wayne] I just got a call from my contact in the
London Interpol office.[/font]
[font=gisha]Wayne announces as he walks up to Larry's
desk.[/font]
[font=gisha]Larry looks up from the computer monitor on his desk
and quirks an eyebrow, questioningly.[/font]
[font=gisha][Larry] You gonna make me ask?[/font]
[font=gisha]Larry asks...a tinge of aggravation in his
voice.[/font]
[font=gisha][Wayne] No. Sorry, Boss.[/font]
[font=gisha]Wayne says apologetically.[/font]
[font=gisha][Wayne] He said that they sent an agent to Raheen,
Ireland to interview Flynn's father and he should hear something
in a day or so.[/font]
[font=gisha]Larry nods his head and returns his attention to his
computer monitor.[/font]
[font=gisha][Larry] Good. Stay on it. Any word from
Porter?[/font]
[font=gisha]Larry asks without looking up at Wayne.[/font]
[font=gisha][Wayne] Nothing, yet today, Boss. He said last
night that he was going to follow up on some lead this
morning.[/font]
[font=gisha]Wayne says as he heads for the office door.[/font]
[font=gisha][Larry] Ok.[/font]
[font=gisha]Larry says, absentmindedly.[/font]
[font=gisha]Wayne returns to his desk and sits down. He opens a
file folder that has been laying on top of his desk and begins
examining its contents.[/font]
[font=gisha]Brian walks in to the squad room and goes over to
his desk. He slips his back pack off of his shoulder and drops
it, angrily, on the floor, then plops down in his chair.[/font]
[font=gisha]Wayne looks up, curiously.[/font]
[font=gisha][Wayne] What's up?[/font]
[font=gisha]Wayne asks, quirking his eyebrow,
questioningly.[/font]
[font=gisha][Brian] I just spent the morning on a wild goose
chase.[/font]
[font=gisha]Brian grumbles.[/font]
[font=gisha][Brian] What kind of mood is the ol' man in
today?[/font]
[font=gisha]Brian asks, quietly...leaning closer to Wayne's
desk.[/font]
[font=gisha]Wayne leans closer to Brian, keeping his eyes on
Larry's office.[/font]
[font=gisha][Wayne] Same as it's been since we caught this
case.[/font]
[font=gisha]Wayne says...his voice is almost a whisper.[/font]
[font=gisha]Brian rolls his eyes and sits back in his
chair.[/font]
[font=gisha][Brian] Wonderful.[/font]
[font=gisha]Brian says sarcastically to the ceiling.[/font]
[font=gisha][Brian] I'm gonna go get some coffee. [/font]
[font=gisha]Brian says, getting to his feet.[/font]
[font=gisha][Brian]Want some?[/font]
[font=gisha]Brian ask Wayne as he walks around to the front of
his desk.[/font]
[font=gisha][Wayne] Thanks.[/font]
[font=gisha]Wayne says, lifting up the coffee mug that has been
sitting on his desk.[/font]
[font=gisha][Wayne] I'm good.[/font]
[font=gisha][Brian] Cool.[/font]
[font=gisha]Brian says and heads for the coffee room.[/font]
[font=gisha]Wayne goes back to his file folder.[/font]
[center][font=gisha]To be continued[/font][/center]
