Nah, nah. Get this. The whole entire thing was my partner's fault. Well partner and a rookie cop.

So we're working this scene, pretty horrible one at that. Triple murder. Single mom and two sons. Only there's a third son, the youngest, we don't know about yet 'cause we've JUST gotten there. And the idiot rookie on the scene first doesn't clear it properly and the guy is still in the house, holding the kid! But he's so strung out on godknows what kind of drugs he doesn't have a damn clue what he's doing.

Nick runs in to him, sees the kid. Guy flips, runs. Nick FLIPS EVEN WORSE and starts chasing him out of the house. Seriously, don't mess with kids around Nick. He'll go ballistic.

Anyway Captain Brass is standing back there screaming for Nick to get his ass back there and let the cops handle it, but Nick is of course not listening. So I go chasing after him. All three of us run in to this abandoned house. I lose track of Nick, head up stairs, next thing I know I've got a bullet through my arm, he's screaming at me, I'm falling through a window and I wake up here.

Ach, bloody hell people I tell ye! Even in Corinth there's dumbasses tha' do this sort of thing too. Like we can't afford NOT to miss a few more people? Really, smart when we're th' last of our kind presumably.

Does it seem odd tha' in a way, ah'm kinda th' law back home an' you're th' CSI friend?

[whoshotsherlock]

I was pretty pissed about it. The scene was bad enough without a mishap like that happening. Though... from what I could see before I fell, the kid and Nick were both okay, so I've got that to be grateful for.

... still kicking his ass when I get home.

Hm? Oh, yeah, that does now that you mention it. Huh.

[im_scottish]

Aye, then th' satisfaction o'puttin' the littl' bastard behind bars makes it all th' worth while.

Aw well, s'not like ah've been meanin' t'get into Policin', not after ah've been bounced from th' force before.

[whoshotsherlock]

eyup. Sure as hell made the case a lot easier, too. There's not a whole lot you can say to get yourself out of 'obviously strung out, covered in blood and holding the murder weapon while you run with the one survivor'.

Well, it's up to you how you go from here, but there is a team called DATs here that pretty much does just that. I put in for investigations since my ex supervisor happens to be here and is working for them.

Or you can go it on your own. Plenty of people do.

[im_scottish]

Aye, there is tha'.

I'll consider it an' all, considerin' I do a lot o'work as Series Blue. But ah'm just a mechanic, so maybe I'll get a job in a garage or build me own vehicles. Ah'm sure there's something here I can look into.

[whoshotsherlock]

...

Greg, what's with the look?

Oh. Nothing.

Yeah. Seems everyone finds their niche eventually. Mine just sort of fell on my lap the second I realized Grissom was here and out of retirement.

[im_scottish]

Aye, well until me morpher gets looked at, I can't do diddly squat an' all, not in th' least o'melee combat.

An' I built an' maintained me truck back home so mechanics are th' second nature an' all to me.

[whoshotsherlock]

Tell me, do you know anything about Yukon Denalis?

Greg, I already told you, you don't need a truck here.

It's not a truck, it's an SUV and I miss mine!

[im_scottish]

Quite a bit actually, though if y'be wantin' one, ah'd have t'build it from scratch.

Anythin' y'be looking t'add to it?

[whoshotsherlock]

Wh- really?!

Greeeg you don't need one!

Do I CARE?! He can make one! Um... I'd have to think about the adding thing, but I'm sure I can think of something!

[im_scottish]

Sounds good t'me mate. Ah'll find th' parts fer it once I scrape some cash in and set up a shop. I heard tha' the Inn'll cover my livin' expenses so I'll see bout gettin' a mechanic job near the grounds.

[whoshotsherlock]

Sounds like a plan!

If you're really going to do this, maybe you should get something to hook up to your D-Comm in there?

Ohhey, that's a good idea little guy. And a GPS too.

[im_scottish]

Right then! Ah'm gonna find myself a garage an' start buildin' once I get the income!

So a D-Comm hook up an' a GPS. Gotcha.

[whoshotsherlock]

You are like... the coolest person ever.

Can you stop grinning like that, Greg? It's kind of creepy.
