Forensics (5th Period)

[equalsmcsquared.livejournal.com]

"Good afternoon, everyone. Today we will be continuing our discussion on racial trends in forensics as well as touching on some other key components in investigating homicide. Also, if you're finished with your previous article critiques, please turn them in."

She passes around a new article. "Tell me what you think about this. Why are certain people considered 'disposable' in the eyes of others?"

She also lectures intensely on fiber analysis, fingerprinting, and ballistics.

"You will have an exam on Wednesday. I highly suggest you study. And for the rest of the period, we're going to watch an episode of Forensic Files to give you an idea of what's involved with this work."

Lana signs in and reads the article. She seems shaken by the time she's finished. "I will never understand why people who are different are considered expendable. She wasn't hurting anyone, wasn't trying to change or affect anyone else, she just wanted to live her life the way she wanted. What could possibly be wrong with that?"

She looks as if she might cry. She's very quiet for the rest of class.

Phoebe has read things like this befre and agrees with Lana. She puts her arm around her.

Lana rest her head on Phoebe's shoulder for a moment. "This has not been a good week," she said quietly. "And Shep's gone till Sunday night. I just... I don't know what I'm going to do."

Maia signed in and went and sat in the back of the class away from everyone, she glanced over the paper and then set it aside. Watching the clock Maia just wanted to crawl back into her room and shut herself away from the world. She had lost two people that she loved and cared about in the space of 48 hours. This was just a really bad week.

"Come stay at the hotel with me tonight? Crowley wn't be there until very late. I have plenty of room and we can order room service."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe looked back at Maia sympathetically.

"Seriously?" Lana asked. "I'd really like that - just to not be in my own room - and with a friend."

"Great. Just come by whenever and I'll leave your name at the desk."





[[OOC: Have fun.]]

Lana smiles again. "You have no idea what a relief that is - or maybe you do. I'll be by once I've got stuff wrapped up here."


[OOC: Feel free to mod Lana coming over and we can slow play after. :) ]

Maia looked back at Phoebe, her eyes haunted. She blinked at her slowly and then looked back up at the clock. I don't want to care I don't want to care Maia's mind screamed at her Don't care about Phoebe, you'll just lose her to. Don't care about anyone, everyone leaves. Maia swallowed hard fighting back tears, ducking her head down she tried to read the paper only to have her vision blured with tears. They fell silently onto the paper making the ink run a little. I love you Phoebe, don't care for me

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe was rocked by the emotions she was picking up from Maia. She whispered something to Lana and then moved to the back of the class where Maia was. When she saw the tears hit the paper, she kneeled on the floor next to Maia's desk.

"Maia?"

Maia looked into Phoebe's eyes and shuddered. "They left me." Maia whispered. "You'll end up leaving me to." Maia's voice turned cold for a moment. "I don't care." She brushed the tears away.

[sensethevisions]

Now it was Phoebe's eyes that filled with tears.

No, not Maia, not Maia, too. I can handle anything but this.

"I love them, too, Maia. They're family. But that doesn't mean..."

Phoebe's voice faltered a little. She couldn't promise she wouldn't have to leave...not now.

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

"Your going to leave me aren't you." Maia said, it was not a question merely a statement to the fact. Closing her eyes she sighed and then looked back at Phoebe. "I do care.." She whispered her voice pleading "I love you I do care Phoebe don't leave me please."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe put her arms around Maia. "I promise you, Maia, if I can prevent it, I will not leave you. I love you, too, and don't want to lose you, too."

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

Maia felt her resolve melt away in Phoebe's arms, closing her eyes she stayed there just breathing Phoebe in and relaxing into her. "I love you so much, I won't leave you." Maia said against her.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe held onto Maia, stroking her hair. "We'll get through this, we'll make it, Maia."
