Hello, all! I totally forgot to put this chapter up when I put it up on dA soo… here you are now! XD And expect another one tomorrow, too, if I remember… .'

18. Whenever he goes to a restaurant, he orders the tallest glass of chocolate milk he can. If he can't, then he sticks with water
19. He gets migraines. Really bad ones. He still isn't sure how he has gotten this far in the Force with this, but he knows it's in part due to Lestrade. The man always covers for him, and Dimmock wishes he could pay him back somehow though knows he probably never will.
20. He makes it a point to go visit Ryan's family at least once a year. Even if he can't afford it, even if he doesn't have the time, he still goes anyway, preferably for Christmas. He'd much rather spend it with them than sit at home alone watching old rugby matches.
21. He hasn't dated many girls, and he's only kissed one once. It was a short and messy affair, with her tongue rooting around his mouth in a way he didn't like. They broke up right after that, and since then, he's been a little wary around females.
22. Dimmock didn't like Sandy when she first began dating Ryan- she was too nice, too pretty, too... perfect. Now, however, she and Dimmock get along splendidly, even if they are separated by a few time zones and an ocean.
23. Dimmock has been compared to Captain America. He likes to think it's because of his high moral standards and loyalty to his country and comrades. However, he knows better- it's because of his awkwardness around the other sex and lack of knowledge about modern pop culture and technology.
24. Evidence for the point above- one of his coworkers needed him to use the GPS on her mobile to get to a crime scene.
By the end of the fifteen minute drive, he was booted out of the vehicle and forbidden from being copilot ever again.
25. Another case in point- he can't name ten popular songs that have come out in the last year, not to mention five popular bands, but he can list the top fifty songs from the '50s and sing along with every one of them.
26. Dimmock grew up with the Beatles constantly playing in his house, but Buddy Holly is his favourite now. He would have never really listened to his music if it hadn't been for Lestrade, who is a quietly avid fan of his work, if there is such a thing.
Though Lestrade's admiration of the musician isn't really what got Dimmock listening. It was watching the older D.I. hold back tears as he played song after song in the dark of his living room as they both tried to cope with the death of a co worker and mutual friend. Even in his weakness, Lestrade always manages to exude strength.
Buddy Holly always reminds Dimmock of that.
