29. Frogs

Meet your newest fear!

"You do realize we're totally getting our butts in trouble, right?" Eric told Ryan softly, looking down at the box in his hands and cringing slightly. "If Stetler finds out what we're doing, we are so fired."

Ryan snickered softly, holding the keys to the vehicle and unlocking the door. "So we get in a bit of trouble. Stetler didn't find out about the boomerangs, did he? And if that didn't get us busted, I don't know what will." He held out his hands, and Eric gave him the box. "We plant this in his car, add heat, and presto! Instant Internal Affairs fun!"

The Hispanic moaned softly. "This isn't going to end well. I just know it's not going to at all."

"Quit being a baby," Ryan chided softly. "Let's get this frog into the car and get out of here before he shows up."

Eric sighed and shut the door, locking the car and rubbing his fingers through his hair. Summer time had arrived, and it seemed to be international "Play A Prank on Stetler" Year or something. Indeed, the man enjoyed making Stetler's life miserable after the whole marijuana incident, but planting a frog in the man's car seemed to be a bit much... kind of. He was fine with filming boomerangs and such, and heck. He had even suggested the incident. But he couldn't help but feel foreboding as he climbed the steps to the lab and watched Stetler exit the building.

The man's face had anger written all over it as he glared at Eric, who innocently held his keys out to him. Stetler snatched them out of his hand, his eyes shooting daggers. "What are you doing with my keys, Delko?"

Eric pulled a confused face as best as he could. "I thought those were my keys on the table. Honestly."

Stetler merely grunted in reply and walked to his car, mumbling about how CSIs could find evidence at a crime scene, yet they could mistaken their car keys for someone else's. A loud beeping was heard, and the car door unlocked. Eric smacked himself as Ryan watched in amusement, hiding his presence by staring at his phone and seemingly texting. They could have just hit the button. The could have hit the unlock button. Eric was going to kill Ryan for that.

But the next moment, he knew he didn't have to.

Stetler opened the car door and blinked at the sight of the box. He took the note off the top of it and slowly, a smile unfurled on his features. He slipped in a finger and opened the letter, reading it with wide eyes aloud to himself. "Rick- I know we've had some hard times together, but I wanted to reconcile our differences. Please accept this gift as a token of our relationship. Yelina." He giggled slightly and opened the box, the giggle turning into a shriek.

A frog sat in the box patiently, giving Stetler what was a pretty decent imitation of Bambi eyes. It croaked slightly. "Ribbit."

"Get it away from me!" he screamed, dropping the box and watching the frog jump out and croak again. "Oh, my god!"

Eric failed in turning his laugh into a cough. Ryan was nearly doubled over in laughter. Stetler was running up the steps, the frog hopping behind him obediently. "Ribbit."

Ryan managed to gasp out, "It thinks you're its mother!"

Eric wiped his eyes. "And I can why."

"SHUT UP!" Stetler roared.


All right, gang. Here's the lowdown- summer has arrived, and all of you know I want to get this finished by the end of the year. So why don't we say I pull some one-shots out of a hat by your insistence. Every 11- yes, 11- reviews I get, I will attempt to put out a new one-shot. More reviews equal more updates. Win-win. I think.
