[Annie is sitting at her desk, doing paperwork, with a bowl of ice cream next to her]

There's a beehive in the office. It was getting to be impossible to do paperwork in there without chance of getting stung. Which really wouldn't be good right now. Doing paperwork from hospital wouldn't be too easy....

[Sneaks a cookie out of her desk drawer and keeps working]

You're allergic to bee stings?

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

Ended up in hospital a few times a kid because of it.

[didorothy]

Do you want me to - oh, right. Can't. I forgot.

Has, uh, DCI Bell come in yet? I think that was the one the Guv said he wanted in as the interim DCI.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

Dunno. I was too busy hiding from the bees, really. I can go check, though, if you'd like?

[didorothy]

No, don't worry about it. You should stay out of the office until the bees are gun. ...how'd they get in there in the first place?

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

[Shrugs, and eats another cookie, offering one] No clue, really. Came into the office this morning, and they were everywhere. There may have been a few around before, but we all just thought it was the weather.

[didorothy]

[a sort of shrug]

[and then] You do realise, time doesn't pass here. So you won't actually be able to avoid them by staying here. Unless you mean to get your paperwork done in peace.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

That works, too, then. As long as it gets done somewhere where there aren't bees. If I finish it here, than I can leave the office as soon as I'm done.

And it is nice, not being in a room full of shouting men. Easier to get work done.

[didorothy]

Yeah, it's a lot easier to do work here. Well, unless people spot you. Then you can get a bit distracting.

--I'm not distracting you, am I?

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Bees. In the office.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

Ray and Chris were trying to get rid of them when I left.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

The hell are bees doing in CID?

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

Don't ask me, Sir. I'd tell you if I know.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

[he can't get over this] There have never been bees in CID before. What are you lot doing without me and Tyler there?

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

Nothing different from normal, really.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

They better not be there when I can get back in your CID or else. Can't bloody stand bees.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

They're working on getting them out, Sir. Shouldn't take too long. I can't really go back until they do.

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

Anything funny about those bees? Larger than normal? Making funny buzzing sounds? ...Purple?

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

No, they were just...bees, really.

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well, bees might be good, though, yeah? Can't let the population drop or one day they're just going to start disappearing. And then no more honey.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

Oh, well, I suppose having them around is better than them disappearing all together...

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

Definitely loads better. ...Are those cookies?

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

They are. I got bored, and made them last night after work. Want one?

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't mind one. You're doing work out here?

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

Well, I have to get it done, eventually, so I could have done it with the bees, waiting until the bees were gone, or done it now and gotten it done as fast as possible here. [Holds out the box of cookies]
