89. Work

"Kaelyn, what are we going to do? I can't be seen like this! And I have to meet my parents at work in less than an hour!" Lucy exclaimed as she looked at her hair in the bathroom mirror.

"We'll hide it," Kaelyn opened the door and ran to her room, Lucy quickly behind her. When Lucy walked into Kaelyn's room, Kaelyn was digging through her closet looking for something. "Here, put this on… If anybody asks, it's the newest fashion." She handed her a Giants winter snow cap. "Just make sure that you get all your hair under it, I'll bring hair dye to school tomorrow and we'll fix it after school. Just make sure your parents don't see…"

"Easier said than done," Lucy said as she put the cap on."How do I look?"

"Beautiful," Kaelyn replied as she put a cap on of her own.

"Lucy you packed? It's almost time to go," Kaelyn's mom Susan asked after she knocked and opened the door.

"I'm ready," Lucy answered.

"Hey why are you girls wearing those hats?"

"It's the newest fashion mom," Kaelyn answered, "we'll be out in a minute.

Thirty minutes later, Lucy was dropped off in front of the crime lab, and she walked inside to meet her parents, hoping they would be ready to go soon. It was the still May, but it had been quite warm for May, Lucy wasn't sure how long she would be able to leave the hat on for. Lucy walked in to the room that Adam was processing something and sat down on the stool that was across from him.

"Hey Adam, seen my parents? There not in their office," Lucy asked watching him.

"Uh, yea, they're down in reconstruction, they should almost be done," he answered as took off his gloves, he had just finished with what he was doing, and all he had to do now was wait for the computer to tell him the results. "Why do you have a hat on? It's almost 80 degrees outside!"

Before Lucy could react, Adam walked up to her and pulled off the hat, just in time for Mac, Stella, and Flack to see as they walked into the room.

"Adam don't!" she said, but it was too late, the hat was off her head and her blue hair was able to be seen by everyone.

"Lucy. What. Did. You. Do?" she heard Mac ask behind her.

"Got bored and dyed it," she responded embarrassed.

"Why did you pick blue?" Flack asked, trying to hold back a laugh.

"I didn't…. Kaelyn did."

"Next time, you better pick it out," with that, Flack left knowing he wouldn't be able to hold back a laugh anymore.

Stella hit Flack on the back of the head as he left.

"How mad do you think my parents are going to be?" she asked Stella.

"Well why don't you go stick your head in the shower in the locker room and try to get it to-"

Before Stella could finish her question Lucy cut her off, "Already tried that. We didn't read the box and apparently it's permanent."

"Then I think you're dad is going to be quite mad," Stella said as she gave Lucy a pat on the back. "Why don't you go sit down in your parent's office?"

"Okay," and Lucy began to walk down to her office.

After Flack left the lab, seeing Lucy's hair, he began walking down the hallway to go back to the station when he ran into the two people he was hoping to run into before leaving, and deciding to have a little fun with them he said, "Hey Messer's, have you seen what your daughter's done?" and he just continued walking, leaving them to wonder what their daughter could possibly have done.
