A/N: I read another spoiler...I'm so bad. Just scroll down if you don't want to hear it: Buzz delivers shocking news to Mallet and Marina. Harley isn't coming home. Will the house go up for sale?

Well, the dreamer in me automatically thought: Maybe they'd buy it for themselves, and Daisy would be able to move in too. (slkdfjkln I don't like her.) So I need to write now. :D

Misinterpritations

Marina's cell phone rang before she had the chance to put the key in the lock. She thought about ignoring it, but in the past, ignoring things had gotten her nowhere. "Cooper." She sighed. "Right now? I just finished my shift. - Fine. I'll be there in a few."

So much for a bubble bath and bed.

Mallet was surprised when she didn't see him hiding behind the potted tree near her door. Frank had called her, and thank goodness she took the call.

His first plan of action was going swell.

He got up from his crouching position and knocked on the door lightly, hoping Daisy would be there. And she was. "Hey. Marina isn't home yet.."

Mallet looked back and forth and snuck his way inside. "Good." He reached in his pocket after setting his bags down and pulled out five twenty dollar bills. "Here. Go out somewhere. And, uh..don't come back until noon. Tomorrow."

Daisy was summoned to the hallway, "Where am I supposed to go?"

The door was shut before she got an answer.

Mallet got right to work on the second part of his plan. He could only wish the first part would go perfectly.

"Paperwork? Seriously? Paperwork?" Marina scoffed a laugh, "You're telling me some cop got bored at sitting at his desk doing work and decided to go sit on his ass at home to watch TV and eat chips?"

She took a seat at her desk.

"Marina, calm down. What is the deal with you?" Frank asked, setting his folder down.

"Dude, I'm just saying. What's wrong with the portable TV and the vending machine here? Besides, the chips are cheaper here anyway."

"Not if you're him. That guy could eat the whole machine and wouldn't be satisfied." He laughed, "But that's rude to say. No, no, the guy, uh..got sick and went home."

Marina glared, "Funny. That's the same lame excuse I gave Mom on the phone today."

Frank was thankful for the available topic change. "You talked to her today?"

She had already began filling out papers, "Yep."

"Wha-"

"She said for me to say 'hi', and that everything is fine."

When Marina looked up, Frank was gone.

She sighed, and flipped her computer on. If she didn't have anyone to talk to while she worked, she would at least listen to music to pass time.

What flashed up on the screen made a smile form on her lips. Marina tried to force the smile back, but as the whole day had proven, gravity was against her today.

Mallet had just finished his decorating when he heard a key slide into the lock. Thinking quickly, he scurried into the bathroom.

The picture had been enough. It brought a smile, but to Marina, it was a tease. Just a stupid freakin' tease.

Before she opened her door, Marina rested her head on the frame and prepared herself for Daisy's Grady drama that awaited inside.

Little did she know, something else was waiting instead.

A/N: :O Cliffhanger. :) You'll just have to review and wait to see what's waiting in there. :) The more reviews, the faster I'll update. ;)
