-Lakeman, sitting in a stack of pipes playing with cards with a drab expression-
-phone rings-
L: "Hey."
Phone: "She's coming. Approved. Just now. She's probably on her way. My guess she shows up tomorrow. They show up at work, it's safer."
L: "I found the book. Structural Dynamics of Flow."
P: "Where?"
L: "Guy with the girl's name.."
P: "No s**t?"
L: "No. Yeah.."
P: "Get it to Edwards, John. I may want you out of there. I may pull you out of there today. Before she comes.."
L: "Cool..."
P: "I'm gathering some information, I'll reach back out to you today."
L: "Okay..."
P: "She's good. She was cited this week for two instances of child neglect for leaving her daughter alone in her apartment. Her kid's seeing things. The neighbors narced, so she's really cramming in the hours on your case. She's not a bad mom? I'm guessing? I'm guessing she's just a.. A good *cop?* Whaddu's she have on you?"
L: "I dunno.. Her daughter drew a picture of me.. It's... Pretty good.."
P: "I pull you outta there today, she shows up, John Lakeman's a ghost."
L: "Okay.."

L: "Yeah."
O: "Hey, so I'm makin' the rounds, letting McMillan know we're bankrupt pretty much and I've turned essentially all my authority over to Leslie." (John's boss who ******** despises him.)
L: "Okay..."

B: "Steven remembers you being in the viscinity of his accident, can you help shed some light on his final moments?"
L: "Not really..."
B: ... "You seem to have, um.. *An indifferent* attitude towards Steven's recovery. Can I *share* with you why it's so important that Steven have full recollection, incluing his accident?; *Humor* requires your *entire.* Whole. *Full* being. ... Steven's incomplete, he'll never regain his sense of humor. If he doesn't regain his sense of humor, he'll never laugh. And no one will ever love him."
L: ... "That's pretty heavy.."

L: "For sure."
B: "You *sound* not all in. FYI?" -gets closer with hands on hips- "I'm a fighter. And I am 'fighting' for these memories. So're you on my team."

And I look at it, and I think, 'Even if I could get the TV *off* the chain? I couldn't steal it because I have nowhere to take it because.. I have no home now."
-Idiot walks away-
