Kovacsgirl's Notes: Well, need a new disclaimer, 'cause I managed to work CSI in here too. So, I do not own CSI either, contrary to popular belief. Also, check out my website to find the fic that started it all: Travels With Us. http://www.geocities.com/chicago_kewlkat.

---Day Three---

---@ The Vegas Crime Lab---

NICK: ...and here is the autopsy room.

KOVACSGIRL: Ohhh! A dead body! Cool!

(A pager rings and KOVACSGIRL glances at it)

KOVACSGIRL: Damn.

NICK: What?

KOVACKSGIRL: I have a story to write. See ya later.

NICK: Uh, okay.

---Back @ the C.G. people's hotel---

DAVE: I AM HUNGRY! FEED ME!!!

DEB: You are hopeless. Hey, Kerry, did John ever come out of his...relapse?

KERRY: Uh, probably... We had to screen his suitcases and everything for drugs.

DEB: I think I'll go see him. (Heads for the elevators but stops.) Which room did he have again?

LUKA: (looking up from the paper) We forgot to give him a room, so he had to sleep in the limo.

DEB and ABBY: What!!!

LUKA: You snooze, you lose. Or, I guess in his case, you get high, you lose.

DEB: You are a mean man.

LUKA: I'd watch what I say if I were you. You don't want to be sent to live with the dingoes in the zoo do you?

PETER: Did someone say "DINGOES!?" I love dingoes.

ROMANO: I like pigmies.

PETER: Dingoes, Dingoes, Dingoes!

ABBY: Romano, you like pigmies?

ROMANO: Yes!

PETER: Dingoes, Dingoes, Dingoes!

ABBY: Why?

ROMANO: They're short and they shoot darts. What's not to like?

DEB: I think I heard that quote from "Fraiser" once.

PETER: Dingoes, Dingoes, Dingoes!

CLEO: Oh shut up already! (CLEO smacks PETER upside the head with a plate. It breaks.)

PETER: Thanks. I needed that.

DAVE: I'M DAMN HUNGRY. WILL SOMEONE FEED ME ALREADY!?

CLEO: (also whacking DAVE upside the head): SHUT UP YOU LAZY BUM! FEED YOURSELF.

DAVE: DON'T CALL ME A LAZY BUM, HIV WOMAN!

CLEO: I---AM---WOUNDED!!!!!

DAVE: Good.

LUKA: That was a little bit too melodramatic.

CLEO: WHAT!!!! (Waves a fist at LUKA)

LUKA: Uh, nothing... Do you want to have to walk back to Chicago?

CLEO: No.

LUKA: Then shape up missy!

CLEO: Okay.

ABBY: By the by, where is Elizabeth?

KERRY: Morning Sickness.

ROMANO: What!? And I'm not there to help! I'm outta here! (runs out of the room)

KERRY: Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish.

KOVACSGIRL: *Pant, Pant*

KERRY: Where have you been?

KOVACSGIRL: Um, in an autopsy room...

KERRY: Where?

KOVACSGIRL: In the Crime Lab...

KERRY: With whom?

KOVACGIRL: With... Hey, wait! You're not my mother! I'm under no obligation to tell you!

KERRY: Oh, sorry.

KOVACSGIRL: You damn well better be!

MALUCCIECA: Kovacsgirl!

KOVACSGIRL: MM?

MALUCCIECA: Where have you been?

KOVACSGIRL: Busy?

MALUCCIECA: You're late!

KOVACSGIRL: You're starting to sound like Kerry!

MALUCCIECA: I am

KERRY: She is? I mean, that's bad?

KOVACSGIRL: I don't know! I'm not TPTB!

DAVE: (Food hanging from the corners of his mouth) Mhat?

KOVACSGIRL: Didn't your mother ever teach you not to speak with your mouth full.

DAVE: Mrobably.

MALUCCIECA: TPTB stands for "The Powers That Be."

DAVE: Oh...

ABBY: Deep. Very Deep.

DEB: I'm bored.

ABBY: Me too.

PETER: I like dingoes.

CLEO: AGH! (Smacks PETER again)

PETER: Stop it Cleo! That hurts.

DAVE: I have an idea...

EVERYONE, SAVE MALUCCIECA AND KOVACSGIRL, WHO ARE CRINGING: WHAT!

DAVE: A whorehouse.

ABBY: Oh... fun.

DAVE: I thought so too.

ABBY: I was being sarcastic. Couldn't you tell?

PETER: I used to have that problem... Until I met a dingo. OW!

DEB: I don't even want to know...

KERRY: Let's find a better, non-X rated activity.

DAVE: Awwwww...

KOVACSGIRL: Where the hell is John?

(EVERYONE looks at one another.)

PETER: You're the author, you should know.

KOVACSGIRL: For you information, I was very busy last night.

LUKA: I'll bet. (Under his breath) Dirty Little Whore.

KOVACSGIRL: I HEARD THAT! And no, that's not why I was busy.

KERRY: Why then?

KOVACSGIRL: You don't think this is the only story I'm working on, do you?

CLEO: Well. I was kinda hoping...

KOVACSGIRL: Its not. Plus, I had to work on Russian.

LUKA: Why?

KOVACSGIRL: I'm learning it.

LUKA: Why?

KOVACSGIRL: 'Cause I want to.

DEB: I thought you were talking in Russian on the phone in the limo yesterday.

KOVACSGIRL: I'm no damn beginner.

DEB: Of course not.

ABBY: So where are we going?

KOVACSGIRL: Will someone tell me where the hell John is?

CLEO: Well, uh... lets just say somewhere he just lifted his head from a puddle of drool.

KOVACSGIRL:NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

CLEO: Man, that was a lot of O's.

PETER: I like dingoes. OW!

---The Limo---

JOHN (W/his head in a puddle of drool): What? Where am I?

He looks up around him.

JOHN: (small voice) Rena?

DAVE: Awww, why can't we go to the whorehouse?

MALUCCIECA: Awww, why won't you guys listen to him?

MARK: Awww, will you shut up?

MALUCCIECA: That's it; you're dying a painful death.

LUKA: (coughs) Remember our agreement?

KOVACSGIRL: She's sorry.

LUKA: Okay.

KOVACSGIRL: (to MALUCCIECA) Why are there circles under your eyes?

MALUCCIECA: I went on a date . . .

DAVE & KOVACSGIRL: With whom?

MALUCCIECA: Who were you in the crime lab with?

KOVACSGIRL: With – ewww!

ALL: What?

KOVACSGIRL: My hand landed on a puddle of drool.

She looks down and sees our darling John.

KOVACSGIRL: What happened to you?

JOHN: Someone didn't give me a room!

LUKA: Gee, I wonder how that could have happened.

SCENE: Later, at some funky restaurant.

DAVE: (grumpy) This is so not a whorehouse.

JOHN: You're right; it's the Hard Rock Café.

DAVE: (smiles) What the hell, its food! I'm happy now!

ELIZABETH: Oh, look, over there!

CLEO, PETER, & ROMANO: What?

ELIZABETH: The Beatles' autograph! This sucks!

MARK: Here, I'll take a picture of you next to them!

ELIZABTH: Nooooooo . . .

KERRY: What's wrong?

ELIZABETH: (sobbing) I can't get a picture next to them! The whole picture'll be my stomach!

DAVE: Are pregnant women always this emotional?

MARK, ROMANO, & JING-MEI: SHUT UP!

LUKA: Oh, look! A whole wall dedicated to Elvis!

ABBY: (to group) His role model.

CLEO: I don't wanna know . . . is it because of the hair grease?

MALUCCIECA: (disgusted) OH MY GOD!!!!!

JING-MEI: What?

MALUCCIECA: Who's got a cellie?

DAVE: I do!

MALUCCIECA: And how are you paying that off?

DAVE: You wanna use it or not?

MALUCCIECA: Okay. (dials) Hi! Mark? . . . oh, sorry, honey . . . You never told me you made it to the Hard Rock Café! . . . when did that happen?

DAVE: (to K-girl) Who's she talking to?

MALUCCIECA: I'm so proud of you! Hold on, how'm I better than the Hard Rock Café? . . . you perv! . . . no, never mind, don't get him. Okay. I'll see you later. Bye.

DAVE: Hold on, how can you be better than the Hard Rock Café? They make food!

MALUCCIECA: Because I got more than his autograph . . .

KOVACSGIRL: Something tells me that that wasn't Mark.

MALUCCIECA: You're right, that wasn't.

DAVE: You little whore!

MALUCCIECA: I'd watch it if I were you, sweetie, didn't you go to Mark's wedding with two dates?

WAITRESS WITH RED HAIR: Can I take your order?

LUKA: As you can tell, we're so not ready.

WAITRESS: Well, do you want any drinks?

The table goes around and orders because I'm too lazy to write it all down.

WAITRESS: (to Luka) Have you decided yet?

LUKA: Um, I'm tempted to order a –

ABBY: NO.

LUKA: All right, get in the limo and pack your bags . . .

DAVE: I have an order!

JING-MEI: What, the whole menu?

DAVE: Actually, half of that . . . and maybe you OR our waitress.

Deb slaps him with a menu.

ROMANO: Say, what's your name?

WAITRESS: Cherry. Like –

LUKA: Cherry coke, please.

ABBY: (sighs) Oh, God.

SCENE: Later, as they are bumming around in the streets . . .

ELIZABETH: My feet hurt. We've been walking around looking for that whorehouse for a whole hour and we have not found it yet!

ROMANO: I'll carry you, Lizzie!

MARK: NO.

ELIZABETH: What happened to the limo?

LUKA: We need exercise.

DAVE: Abby! Look over there!

ABBY: I don't see anything.

DAVE: Made ya look.

LUKA: Dave . . .

DAVE: Holy crap, man, did you just growl at me?!

PETER: This is so sad. The most productive thing we've done all day is go to the Hard Rock Café and now we're searching for a whorehouse.

DAVE: Shut up, you know you want entertainment tomorrow night.

PETER: Why the hell not?

CLEO: You ------- !!!!!!!!!!!

PETER: Calm down, Cleo.

CLEO: I've been hurt twice today! Oh my God!

JING-MEI: There's a first time for everything.

MALUCCIECA: Trust me, if I can like a guy at my school, there really is a first time for anything.

KERRY: Right now I'm just waiting for everyone to shut up.

LUKA: (throws back his head and howls like a wolf)

MALUCCIECA: Relax, it's only mid-afternoon, and there's no full moon tonight.

KOVACSGIRL shoots her a LOOK.

MALUCCIECA: Well, there won't be if Mark doesn't go to the pool.

MARK: Hey!

MALUCCIECA: Not you, God! MY Mark, Mark-who-is-rooming-next-door-to-me-Mark.

DAVE: What does he do?

MALUCCIECA: He's in a band.

DEB: Really?

MALUCCIECA: A "band". A quote, unquote, band.

KERRY: Are they any good?

MALUCCIECA: I think they suck. But whatever . . .

PETER: What's the name of this band?

MALUCCIECA mumbles something inaudibly.

ALL: WHAT?!

MALUCCIECA: Yes, I admit it! Dave, what is your problem?

DAVE: (with starry look in his eye) Did you say "Big Mac"? Yum!

KOVACSGIRL: Oh my GOD. Don't tell me you like BBMak!

MALUCCIECA: I didn't say that!

ALL: EWWWWW!

MALUCCIECA: Hey, if it's gross for you, it's grosser for me! I *like* them . . . sort of . . .

LUKA: Hey, they're cool! They actually play guitars, like Elvis! (pause) Like Elvis . . .

ABBY: Oh, no.

LUKA throws back his head for another insane wolf howl.

JOHN: (nods at lady on street who is staring at them) He ain't nothing but a hound dog.

ABBY: (cringing) I think the Cherry Coke is starting to kick in . . .

SCENE: Hotel. LUKA, KOVACSGIRL, MALUCCIECA, and JOHN are standing outside a door.

LUKA: So we managed to scrounge up something for you.

JOHN: Gee, thanks, Luka!

LUKA unlocks the door. One by one, they all file in.

KOVACSGIRL: Well, look at that! You have a room all to yourself!

MALUCCIECA: Hey, he's sparing the others . . .

KOVACSGIRL: Erase that!

MALUCCIECA: Too late. All the Carter lovers will have to deal with it.

LUKA: All right, so we'll see you tomorrow! Good night! (LUKA, K-GIRL, & M-CIECA exit room)

CARTER: Oh, boy.

He looks around.

CARTER: (all excited) Hey, a container of bleach! I can get high on this! Awesome!

SCENE: Outside.

MALUCCIECA: Sounds like he's enjoying the supply closet.

KOVACSGIRL: Let's go visit Nick at the Crime Lab.

MALUCCIECA: Okay.
