I apologize for the temporary abandonment of my post. Without further ado, here we go....
Mick and Beth run into each other at the morgue. Again. A little awkward.
Beth says she doesn't want to invade Mick's privacy. Maybe she's thinking he's picking up some blood? Mick says no, he's working a case. Beth says so is she. Err, a story.
Yeah, definitely awkward.
Beth gestures for Mick to follow her and they walk down the hall together.
Beth says she's trying to get into this club and asks if he would happen to know a vet.
Mick says no. Vamps can't really be trusted with pets. But, wait. You need a vet to get into a club?
Beth shows him the micor chip and says she needs it inserted in her hand.
Mick's gotta be thinking she's nuts. He smiles and says of course she does.
Yeah, yuk it up. Beth tells him they scan them. Can't she just hold it? No, they check pretty carefully.
She got the chip from a model that colapsed. She tells Mick the morgue guy thinks it was due to traces of silver found in her blood. Silver?
Yeah. And the model was fine until she went to a place called Club Valis.
Mick has a thought. He doesn't know a vet but he may have something else.
Mick steps away and Beth follows, obviously enjoying the fact that they were going to be working together.
Mick's big idea. If Mick weren't so hot I would've burned rubber getting out of there.
Mick tells her not to worry, it's sterile.
Beth says it's the size that worries her. Yeah, that was my worry as well.
She wants to know why he even has that kind of needle.
He gives her a look.
Oh, yeah. Stupid question. Hell, I wouldn't have been able to think either with MICK preparing a huge syringe to implant a chip in my hand. And that sound it makes as he withdraws it from the bottle. Ick!
He says it may hurt a little bit. Beth looks ill. "Okay, but I'll be fine, right?" I've never liked Mick's response of "Let's hope". What the hell kind of answer is that?
Mick proceeds to work on her hand. Beth brings up the kiss.
Mick lets her off the hook by saying he thought it was an accident.
He threw her a lifeline and the girl grabbed it. She says "Okay". Mick smiles. He was enjoying her uneasines.
Quick to put
that conversation behind her, Beth asks him to tell her when they're done.
Mick promptly says "done". And he tells her to keep her finger on the incision. Beth looks startled for a second. That it didn't hurt? That is was over so quick? That Mick let the kiss issue go so easily?
While Beth is looking at her hand, Mick tells her he wants to go with her. To Club Valis.
Beth assumes he's going to watch over her. She tells him she'll be okay.
He informs her that he's looking for someone. And he thinks she'll be there. Beth catches the 'she' part and questions it.
Mick just says 'yeah'. Oh, is he sure of himself in this episode or what?
Beth pulls herself together and with a little heat she tells him to meet her there in 2 hours.
Mick watches her leave.
