Jesus' Disciple Or Devil's Child 2
Megan:... Horatio?
Horatio:... Yes?
Megan: I've called you four times...
Horatio: Oh... Right! I know.
Megan: ...
Horatio: Emn... Yes, I just slipped off for a second... What's going on here?
Megan: This is the DNA test result... DNA sample neither matches the blood on victim's clothes nor matches that on the spot.
Horatio: Mm... Seems we have to restart from the very beginning.
Megan: You got it. I'll recheck the clothes, maybe we neglected certain clue.
Horatio: ...Megan?
Megan: Yes?
Horatio: ...Stay with me for a minute.
Megan: No problem.
Horatio: ...
Megan: ...What's that?
Horatio: The attendance list for tonight's party.
Megan: With your bomb squad?
Horatio: Yes.
Megan: That's good! You are on the list.
Horatio: Yes.
Megan:...What's wrong?
Horatio: Her name is not on it...
Megan: No way!
Horatio: ...
Megan: Err... Did you know she changed her name; both first name and last name?
Horatio: ...?
Megan: Here...Mabel Moore for now... Not Martha any more...
Horatio: She is married?
Megan: As far as I know...no... She changed her names right after she moved to another state...
Horatio: That makes no sense.
Megan: It does... It says Mabel is the short form of the name Amabel...origins from Latin...means "worth love"...
Horatio: And Moore?
Megan: After her mum's surname.
Horatio:... You know her so much?
Megan: ...Horatio, you know me. I would like to leave you your own space and don't wanna be anyhow nosy about your untouchable forbidden deals if my words would rudely hurt you someway... You may not believe... It is all from your friends...your friends within your bomb squad... They stored some info here, with me, in advance...only for your possible further call...some day...
Horatio: ...?
Megan: It's the first time I know that there are people in the world who would do some extra effects...only for kinda tiny possibilities...
Horatio: ...Did I ever screw up anything?
Megan: ...It's not up to me to judge. But one question I haven't figured out is why you suddenly transferred to NY, stayed there for six months and then quitted from your bomb squad without saying anything?
Horatio: I...I got a problem there...which drew away from my team...
Megan: No one in Miami even knew the whole deal?
Horatio: No one, even her.
Megan: ...She left Florida the day you sent up your printed resignation. You know why?
Horatio: I accidentally heard of it later, but didn't ask.
Megan: So you never saw her since then?
Horatio: ...I don't know what I should say to her...
Megan: I thought you were a trouble shooter...
Horatio: I know it's not your words...
Megan: ...Would you attend the party tonight?
Horatio: ...Still don't know.
Megan: ...Then...why you care whether her name is on the list?
Horatio: If she was there...
Megan: ...If not, everything would be still in the way it is...and you have no trouble with thinking...
Horatio: Nope! I didn't mean it... I just thought if...
Megan: ...Why you fear seeing her?
Horatio: I didn't know how to... Not to mention it's been ten years...
Megan: That's what I calculated.
Horatio: ...There would be many things happened in the past ten years...
Megan: Do you fear of her refusal?
Horatio: Nope! I'm just not sure whether it is right to meet her at party tonight... I mean...maybe she never expected seeing me again...
Megan: Would this unexpectation hurt your honored self-pride?
Horatio: What is wrong if I am considering whether she would be happy to see me again, especially after these damn long ten years?
Megan: Did you ever say something during these throughout ten years?
Horatio: No.
Megan: Then how many evidences do you have to prove that she won't expect seeing you again?
Horatio: It's...it's me...who slid away...
Megan: ...It's youuuuuu who slid away... Why did you slide away?
Horatio: ...So many reasons... I thought I should end it ten years ago...
Megan: ...If you really wanna end it ten years ago, then why you recruited Calliegh, the one who looks like her?
Horatio:...Calliegh is a good csi; and...she is not involved in the whole deal!
Megan: But could connect something which would be exactly involved in...
Horatio: Now...I regret to mention the dealto you...
Megan: It's not the point! ...Have you get a clear shoot about what happens in your brain?
Horatio: ...
Megan:Still staywhere you are...or move on?
Horatio: ...
Megan: ...Which sentiment takes the lead?
Horatio: ...There are pieces all over...
Megan: ...Give yourself a quite segregated space...breath gently...listen to your own voice...voice from your heart, not from your brain...
Horatio: ...
Megan: ...It's better to leave you alone for a while...
Horatio: ...
Megan: ...
Horatio: ...Megan!
Megan: ...?
Horatio: ...They sound sharp...
Megan: ...Perception disorder is always sharp...
Horatio: ...
Megan: ...
Horatio: ...Megan, how do you spend your time after shift, excluding everything refers to those unsolved cases?
Megan: ...?
Horatio: ...If you never experienced...you would never know...
Megan: ...
Horatio: ...The Burning Thorns... Bible>...
Megan: ...
Horatio: ...Is it the way you are telling yourself that Sean lives immortally?
Megan: ...I am not the thorns.
Horatio: ...Or the voices are not the flames.
Megan: ...
Horatio: ...
Megan: Should I have to talk about this every time talking with you?
Horatio: ...Not forced to.
Megan: I would like to get my attention back to the right case at hand.
Horatio: ...Megan...
Megan: Any necessary leak about that it?
Horatio: Could you go with me? ..Tonight? ...To the party? ...After shift?
Megan: ...I know what you are thinking now. It's not a good ideal! Not at all!
Horatio: Do me a favor?
Megan: No!
Horatio: Give me a chance, just for one time?
Megan: No!
Horatio: Please?
Megan: No!
Horatio: Please!
Megan:... Well! No underground deals about me!
Horatio: Underground?... Emn, yes!
Megan: No personal notes about me!
Horatio: Notes?... O...okay!
Megan: No complacent smiles to me! I dislike your smiles!
Horatio: Aha?... Aye!
Megan: Let you know my last decision at the end of the shift.
Horatio: Ohhhhh, you don't have to!
(Horatio hands the paper back to Megan before she heads for the trace lab...)
Jesus! It was a disaster for me to hold the helm of this fic before I hardly lost it... It once seemed that what I wanna write goes wrong with what I've written. And I've been keeping on asking myself whether I've chose any topic wrong in the previous chapter for days...
I have to claim that this is a fic about Horatio and Megan, not a H/C ship... So if this fic disappoints you for not being a H/C one in chapter two, I'm sorry; it definitely isn't... Anyway, I am glad that it finally goes the right way now. And I would appreciate it much if you could tell me your views about this fic...
Nothing would be a disaster if you never care...
Thanks for everyone who has R&R so far!
