The Tots
A/N: Hey, guys, again sorry about the long breaks between updates. I'm finding it hard to be inspired, as I lent my Napoleon Dynamite DVD to my friend and SHE HASN'T GIVEN IT BACK! Okay Mel, deep breath, you can do this. Any hoo, thanks again to reviewers for doing what you do best, review.
Note to witchbsword: The comment Horatio says 'so we rolled snake eyes' was said in a Miami episode by Eric, meaning he didn't find anything. I've wanted to use that phrase for a while now, so I shoved it in there. Just wanted to clear that up.
Napoleon Dynamite was sitting in the interrogation room, pulling tots out of his pocket ad eating them. Eric, Calleigh and Ryan had been watching this for five minutes and were well beyond intrigued.
"$50 this kid is stoned," Ryan said, looking at the others.
Eric shrugged
"Hey man, I'm with you on this one," Eric agreed.
"$100 he's clean," Calleigh said, smiling "$50 each."
"You're on," Eric said, shaking her hand.
They glanced over to Napoleon, who was situated on the other side of the mirrored glass. Horatio walked in.
"Hey, what's the flippin' deal?" Napoleon asked angrily "I've got stuff to do!"
Horatio sat down opposite him.
"Well, I'm sure this 'stuff' can wait. I have a few questions for you."
Horatio pushed a plastic cup towards the teenager.
"Firstly, we're going to need a urine sample."
"What?" Napoleon cried. "I'm not going to do that!"
"We have a warrant," Horatio said quietly "you're Chap Stick and hair was found at the crime scene. We also need to test you for drugs."
"I'm not on any freakin' drugs!" Napoleon yelled. "Gosh!"
Horatio stared at the youth coolly. This officer will show you to the bathrooms. A police officer came and led Napoleon away.
"That's my cue," Ryan muttered and exited.
A few minutes later, Napoleon entered and sat back down.
"I also have a warrant for your moon boots." Horatio said, pulling on some gloves.
"If I had done Rex-quon-do, this never would've happened," Napoleon muttered, pulling off his boots.
Horatio left the interrogation room. Eric and Calleigh continued to watch as the young man reached into his pocket to pull out some more tots.
"Are you sure you don't want to back out of your bet?" Eric asked.
Calleigh smiled, determined.
"Oh, I'm perfectly sure."
10 minutes later, Horatio entered the interrogation room where Calleigh and Eric were sitting.
Ryan opened his wallet and fished out $50.
"Here you go Cal," he said defeated.
"Damn!" Eric muttered.
Calleigh smiled to herself and turned her full attention to the interrogation room.
"Your urine sample came up negative for drugs," Horatio said.
"See! I told you!" Napoleon replied. "Gosh! Idiot!"
"But your shoes matched the print we found in your Uncle's R.V." Horatio stated, "Do you want to tell me what you were doing there that day?"
"Why don't you go tell your Mom to tell you!" Napoleon shot back.
Horatio sighed. He was quickly becoming sick of these games.
"Let me put it to you straight," Horatio said calmly "you're facing a murder charge and 25 years, minimum. Now, why were you at your Uncle Rico's?"
Napoleon sighed.
"Earlier that day, Uncle Rico had come to our house. We weren't home, but when we got back, we noticed half our steak was missing – Uncle Rico had stolen our flippin' steak! Again! So Kip made me go and get it back, cause he was meeting his homeys, or something. I was just about to steal it, but I heard Uncle Rico coming, and I ran." Napoleon sighed. "That's what happened, Gosh!"
Horatio nodded.
"When we looked in the fridge, all we found was steak and milk. Can you tell us anything about that?"
"That's all he flippin' eats!" Napoleon answered.
Horatio left the room and met the others.
"I think he's telling the truth," Horatio said.
"It's a too far-fetched story to be a lie!" Calleigh exclaimed.
"Here's what we're going to do," Horatio said, glancing at Napoleon "we're going to cut this kid free and meet back at the lab. I have a theory."
A/N: Okay, that was the interrogation chapter. Hope you enjoyed it! I personally love the tots. You don't know how tempted I was to have Horatio say "Hey Napoleon, give us some of your tots!" Back to fic, please review, and if you have any phrases from the movie you want in the story, just email them to me.
