[there's a certain trend one might notice among CID members. you see, whenever someone from CID is upset, you can generally find them at the bar. (unless it's that mouthy plonk Annie, because she a) never gets sad and b) 's a bird and therefore goes all weepy and shit instead of being a manly man and hiding her grief in booze) AT ANY RATE, one might notice that Gene just happens to be at the bar. he's shooting back whiskies without much care, a growing pile at his right, but if you come near him he'll adamantly deny anything's wrong.

after all, Diva all ready had a breakdown over Sam. he's not about to be a bloody div and do it, too. pffft, that's just silly.

so anyway, Gene's at the bar, which is his second home anyway. approach him if you want]

[takes a small breath before approaching]

Sorry for interupting, sir. It's just...everyone's been looking for you, they're waiting to talk to that bloke they brought in a couple hours ago. [pauses, looking down and then back at him] Sam's been looking for you.

It can wait. [takes a drink] I'm busy.

[mouthyplonk.livejournal.com]

Course, sir.

[pauses, hesitating, and finally a little nervously and trying to appear not to be]

Excuse me for saying, but you can't keep going round being rude to Sam and blaming yourself for whatever it is that happened. It's not anyone's fault, it just happened.

[looks down for a moment and then back at him, trying her hardest to maintain eye contact]

When I want your opinion, Cartwright, I'll bloody well ask it.

[mouthyplonk.livejournal.com]

Course, sir...

Except, I think you won't ever ask for anyone's opinions, and Sam hasn't got a clue what's going on so he's not here to say it to you...so I think someone's going to have to, aren't they?

[theguv.livejournal.com]

And that's you, is it? You're the one to tell me?

[mouthyplonk.livejournal.com]

Someone has to, haven't they? As it stands now, doesn't look like anyone else is going to say anything, so I think that does leave it to me.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

They don't say anything because there's nothing to say. You'd be smart to take the bloody hint.
