Bathroom Mayhem
"Speedle! Speedle, wait up!" Sam's voice came over the roaring crowd of people. She shoved passed the people until she finally reached his side. She was huffing from her exhausted run through the zoo grounds to locate him. "What now?" He sounded quite annoyed by her very presence. "Aaron called and he said that the fabric he tested had to have come from someone other then the victim." She chocked out between deep breathes. "How so?" He inquired, raising a brow. After a summary of what Aaron said Speed had understood. "So we need to find someone that has a rip in their uniform!" Sam smiled excitedly. "Come on, we should start with the people that weren't assigned to the Simba's den." She started to jog off towards the main office of the zoo. But before she could get very far, she was tugged back by her wrist. Her dark eyes met with Speed's rich ones. "What are you doing?" He almost glared at her like she was psycho. "I'm going to go and ask the superficial for a list of zoo officials that aren't assigned to Simba's den." She stated in a obvious tone. "No, not that." Speed shook his head fiercely, "I mean why are you acting all cheery?" She thought for a moment, wrinkling her nose up a bit, "Um, because I understand. And my main priority is to finish this case." A smile came to her lips as she spoke, "I know I won't be accepted here because I'm an outsider and no one knows me. But I can accept that." Speed stood there in disbelief as he let his hand drop from her wrist. "Now! We've got a case to finish!" She cheered as she dashed off in the direction of the office. That's when Speed began to realize something he didn't want to see. So with a dismissing shake of his head, he was soon following after her.
After they had gotten the list from Mr. Debrowsky, Speed and Sam were soon interviewing their suspects. Everyone seemed to be fairly cooperative with them except for one. His name was Justice McCoy. He was a tall, slender man, about in his late thirties probably. At first he was pretty laid back until Speed mentioned about an episode were a compliant was filed against Mr. McCoy. Apparently Dean heard and saw him using profanity against one of the animals of the zoo. So he reported him under 'abuse against animals'. "Dean was too serious. He didn't realize what he was doing when he filed that compliant." Justice crossed his arms as he leaned back against the wall. "Oh? And what exactly was he doing?" Both Speed and Sam gave him questioning looks. "Getting on my bad side." He replied. "So you threatened him?" Sam asked quickly. "No, broad. I didn't. I merely suggested he back off." Mr. McCoy's thick southern accept dripped on his words. "Sounds like a 'suggestive' threat to me." Sam perked a brow. "Listen. I didn't threaten that little punk!" He took a step forward and that's when Speed intervened. "I think it's time for you to back down." His tone held a hard edge to it. "Yea, yea. I wasn't gonna hit her." Justice promptly took a step back, "Now if that's all. I have a job to do." "You might not be doing it for long." Speed shot back under his breath. For an instant, Speed's odd behavior brought a delicate smile to Sam's lips before she quickly turned away from him. "I don't think he did it, Speed." "What do you mean?" Speed turned to face her, though her back was to him. "He's too cocky. Plus his uniform was in tact. I don't think he could have gotten it fixed that quickly either." She laid her hand on her chin as she spoke. Speed had to agree with her assumption, but wasn't about to stop checking in on Mr. McCoy.
"So now what do we do?" She turned back to her 'partner' and stared. Speed was taken back by the question, 'She's asking me? She's the one that seems to be on a roll…' He thought to himself as he tried to figure a plan. She continued to stare up at him in silence, due to the fact there was a five inch difference between the two. Feeling uncomfortable with the situation Speed opted to just throw caution to the wind, "Lets talk to Mr. Debrowsky again." She nodded on command, following behind him as he led her along. 'I feel like I'm babysitting again…' He thought bitterly to himself. "Mr. Debrowsky?" Speed knocked on the door of the office. "Come on." His voice came from the other side. Both stepped into the office. "We just wanted to ask you some more questions." Speed sounded calm, though Sam was fidgeting for some reason. "I was wandering where the bathrooms are." Sam rubbed the back of her head. "Oh, you can use the one down the hall. It's on the right." A woman answer. Speed looked over his shoulder at the woman that stood in the door way. She wore a pleasant smile as she offered to show Sam. "Ah. Thank you." She smiled as she followed after the young lady, leaving Speed to tend to Mr. Debrowsky.
"Are you and Mr. Speed partners?" She asked as they entered the woman's restroom. "For now we are. I just transferred here." Sam answered after she used the bathroom. While washing her hands, the black haired woman leaned on the wall. "Oh, I see. Well… He does seem like a very handsome man." She smiled more. "Speedo? Blah. I guess so." A slight blush came to her cheeks as she dried her hands under one of those automatic driers. "Aw." She giggled at the younger girl's blush as they came out of the bathroom. Suddenly they both were blindsided and knocked to the floor. "Speed…" Sam's light voice called out to her partner but to no avail. The last thing either of them saw was darkness of coconsciousness.
