DISCLAIMER: I do not own Sue Thomas FBeye or any of its characters, so if you recognize a person from this program or any other (I might put in a cameo here and there), know that I do not own them at all. All scenarios and people that you do not recognize, I own that, though they might be inspired from something else, but in no way is it copying them. If I am missing something in this copyright notice, please let me know!
KEY: Italics are a memory, and all caps is ASL. Sorry, some of my ASL grammar is bad. I only know a little ASL, so if anyone knows how to properly say any sentences I write in ASL, please let me know, and I will change it to be how it should be!
CONGRATULATIONS Guest! You got Jack/Murdoch Mysteries correct! Unfortunately, there's no Heartland reference (not in this story, anyway), and if I'm correct with who you're thinking for the Sue Thomas FBeye guess, here's a clue; Sue Thomas took it from another movie! 1 down, 6 more to guess!
NOTE: Now that you've read 10 episodes (wow- I can't believe that!) I was wondering, what do you think? Do you like the couple combos/breakups I've made? Are the characters still true to themselves? I just want to make sure I'm still on track. If I'm not, I want to make sure I can correct it! I love writing this, so I don't plan on stopping any time soon, but I want to make sure what I'm writing is making sense. To me, it's somehow hard to write for Sunny. She just appears and disappears. (sorry about that!) Does it seem that way to you? My stories might make sense in my head, but to someone else, it might not! Just wondering!
NOTE 2: I hope you don't take Bobby's comment as meanspirited or something. I couldn't think of any nicer way to say it, since it would make it less funny. Believe me, he means it as innocently as the words are, no underlined meaning or anything. It's just normal banter. I just wanted to state that, just in case someone takes it the wrong way!
TRIVIA: Imagine Angeline is played by Candace Cameron Bure⦠Why does Jack and Bobby say she seems familiar? If you answer why Jack says it, get one chapter. Answer why Bobby says it, get another. Guess both, get two! And there's trivia in those chapters as well! (Clue-one is easier than the other, because one reason why is older than the other. The easier one is the newer one.)

"Are you ever going to clean up the mess you made two weeks ago?" Myles complained to Mya, moving aside the silver and gold sparkly streamers by his computer.
"I will-It's still the beginning of the year." Mya replied.
"Yeah, two weeks ago." Myles mumbled.
"No, New Year's lasts for a while. I'm just trying to be festive!"
Myles opened his mouth to rebuttal, but he was interrupted.
"Listen up." Peter said, walking into the bullpen. Everyone looked up, and Sunny put her paw on Sue's leg, which made her look up.
"This is Angeline Tiere." Peter motioned towards the woman walking in behind him.
"Please, AJ." Angeline interrupted.
"AJ." Peter corrected. "She works at a massage clinic, and suspects her boss of money laundering, or at least something suspicious. I've assigned her case to you. AJ, please elaborate your story." He waved at AJ.
"Yes, hi. I'm a massage therapist, and I've noticed some strange things. My boss, Cassandra Olen, takes in clients for either one hour or half hour sessions, but I usually see them leave within 15 minutes. They always pay cash, and give a hefty tip. Instead of the receptionist taking the money, Cassandra takes it, and it is always placed in a different location than all the other money as well. It just seems strange to me that someone paying for a massage wouldn't want to stay for the whole timeframe of the massage. Now, I haven't seen this all the time, but since I have clients as well, I'm sometimes in a massage at the time this happens. I have discreetly looked at the schedule, and found the people who I've seen come in for a massage and leave 15 minutes later have continually scheduled appointments. This is normal in my business, but the client almost never has a massage scheduled exactly 4 weeks from the previous massage, at the exact same time. That's when I knew something was up."
Peter nodded as she finished her explanation. "I'll let you all ask your questions. I'll be in my office if you need me." With that, Peter walked out of the room.
Jack cocked his head. "Why do you seem familiar?" he said to AJ.
AJ looked at him. "Have you had a massage lately?"
Jack laughed. "No way. That's girly stuff."
"Not necessarily. I have many men clients." AJ replied.
"Then they're girly men." Bobby rebuttled, laughing. "Yeah, you seem familiar to me too."
"Now that accent I would remember." AJ responded, smiling at Bobby.
"You seem so familiar. Like we met a long time ago." Bobby said, racking his brain.
AJ shook her head. "Sorry."
"For me it seems like we met a few years ago. I don't know when or where, though."
"How about we work on the case?" Mya asked, seeing the two men, frowning, still thinking. "Maybe you'll remember when later."
"Yeah, good idea." Jack distractedly responded.
"But I'll figure out where I know you by the end of next week." Bobby said, winking.
"You try." AJ replied skeptically.
"Let's figure out what we're going to do." Josh suggested. Everyone agreed.

Maddy sighed. She started Gallaudet on Monday and she was really excited, but she also was nervous. Troy was great and let her work schedule work around her school schedule, but she was scared that she wouldn't fit in. Even though she was Deaf and knew ASL, she didn't know very many Deaf people, and usually would hang around the hearing people, especially with Mya's friends. She always wanted to be part of Mya's group. But they were all hearing. And all the Deaf people she knew were at least 10 years or older than her.
Her phone vibrated, and she saw it was a FaceTime call from her Mom.
"Hi Mom." She said when she answered it.
"HELLO, HOW YOU?" her Mom signed slowly and shaky.
Maddy stared at the screen with wide eyes.
"I'm trying to learn sign for you. Is it OK?" she said.
Maddy was speechless. "Yeah, you did that good, for a beginner."
"I want to be part of your life again. I thought maybe if I learned ASL, you'd accept me more."
Maddy thought of what she said. "It's not that I don't accept you, I just don't want you to run my life. You need to accept who I am."
"And I'm trying to do that."
Maddy smiled. "THANK YOU."
