Outdoors and afoot, Gary Mims was in his element Saturday when he died in an apparent accident at Crowders Mountain State Park.
Friends and colleagues remembered Mims, 58, as an ardent advocate of trails in Gaston County. The cardiac rehabilitation manager at CaroMont Health, they said, had a passion for getting folks outside.
A hiker found Mims dead Saturday afternoon on a rainy day in the park, at the bottom of a 70-foot outcrop called David's Castle. His backpack and a garbage bag were found at the top.
"He was a friend to the park. We have reason to believe that he was collecting trash along the trail," said Ranger Mary Smith.
Mims visited Crowders Mountain nearly every week.
Mims led the Gaston County steering committee of the Carolina Thread Trail, a 15-county trails network. He had also been involved with a precursor group that formed years earlier, among numerous other community roles.
"He knew the importance of active health within the community. He was a huge outdoorsman so I think it was just a perfect fit when we started in Gaston County," said Randi Gates, the Thread Trail's grants and community coordinator.
"He lived it; he worked it; it was his passion. As far as a local supporter of the Thread Trail, he was on top."
The Thread, as it is called, has 21.3 miles in Gaston County, including a 2.8-mile segment dedicated in December at the Seven Oaks Preserve near Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden. Mims attended the opening ceremony.
In a 2010 Observer interview, he credited his fellow Gaston County residents for their work to build trails and greenways.
"We have a lot of natural beauty here," he said. "And we have a lot of people who want to see things preserved and protected."
Mims' Facebook page has posts and pictures of his recent hiking, climbing and kayaking adventures.
"He was the kind of guy who never took the elevator and was always running up the stairs," said Donna Lockett, executive director of the community group Gaston Together. Mims chaired its greenways team, which serves as the Thread's local steering committee.
Mims was also an early leader of Connect Gaston, a nonprofit group that formed in 1998 to support construction of Gastonia's first greenway.
"He was passionate, but in a very diplomatic, soft-sell sort of way," said former Gastonia planning director Jack Kiser.
Mims was usually among the first to sign up to speak at public meetings when trails, greenways or bike paths were on the agenda. Kiser laughed as he recalled a meeting on a proposal to put more communications towers on Crowders Mountain, whose prominent peaks are visible for miles.
Mims, he said, spoke up to note that promotional photographs of the mountain digitally erase the towers already in place. "Why would you want to put more up there?" he asked.
Police say Mims apparently fell at the park sometime before 3:30 p.m. Saturday. Another hiker spotted him on the ground, and paramedics say Mims was dead when they arrived a short time later.
"He was alone at the time of the accident and believed to be hiking and not rock climbing at the time," said Donna Lahser, a Gastonia Police spokeswoman. Crowders Mountain has 150-foot vertical drops and is popular with climbers.
Police say they believe weather might have been a factor in Mims' death. A thunderstorm moved through the park area around noon, and heavy rain fell for several hours afterward.
"Rocks and leaves were slick," Lahser said.
At least eight fatalities have been reported at Crowders Mountain State Park since 1985, mostly among climbers. The most recent before Mims' death was last May, when Illinois resident Brett Bradshaw, 48, died from a fall.

A/N: Well, here's my second H/Hr fic…written at about midnight (stupid little plot-bunnies are very evil at that hour)and in about twenty minutes(including a couple "wow, this sucks, I'm starting over" moments), so please forgive any spelling/grammar mistakes.
I know it's cliché, but… please read and review! I live for reviews!
This is fairly depressing. And short. FYI. For some reason, I can't think of any happy plots…
All I'll Ever Be
There he sits, in his favorite armchair. He's working on a potions essay, which I finished hours ago.
How is that he looks so care free when he's doing his schoolwork?
Perhaps that's the only time he's distracted from his real worries: Voldemort, the possibility of war, his duties as "hero".
Does he know that I have worries too? Does he know that I feel pain for him; about him?
Does he know that I love him?
I'm scared for him.
I'm scared that something might happen to him, obviously.
I'm even more scared that he'll never feel loved, even though he is.
But mostly, I'm scared that I'll never be able to give him the happiness he needs; the happiness he truly deserves, after all the hell he's been through his entire life. I'm scared that all I can do for him is give him a few friendly hugs and a kiss on the cheek. I'm scared that all I'll ever be to him is a best friend.
I feel so selfish for wanting that more than I want the other things. But I can't help it.
So I hide my heartache behind my outer shell of schoolwork and perfect grades, even though I'm falling apart inside.
And this is all I'll ever be.

38-Day NFL Warning: Reggie Bush's Last Stand
What's that? You were wondering exactly how many days until the start of the NFL season? Well, you're in luck! We here at the Triangle are set to spend the next month and a half providing a daily reason to get excited about pro football's return.
In the NFL, it's understood that first-round picks are the players most likely to be afforded second chances. It only takes one team to believe it's their environment that can revive the talent that once seemed so obvious, and that line of thinking is what keeps the Jason Smiths of the world employed. When a former first-round pick catches on with a new team, we're likely to pay attention, no matter how poorly he played in his first (or second) stint.
For most players, though, the life span of the intrigue is finite. Enough time goes by, and we realize their potential to be impactful no longer exists. We give up on them. In Reggie Bush's case, that should've already happened. It hasn't.
Now, let's be clear. That isn't to say Bush doesn't deserve a spot on an NFL roster. He does, especially in Detroit. Bush is still a unique offensive option who can add several elements to a team that likes to throw. It is to say that for seven seasons, Bush has never been anything more than an average running back. He has never finished higher than 27th in DVOA, and he's only finished with a positive DVOA once in his career. Still, all the Bush headlines from this offseason are proof that there's still some collective hope.
It would make sense that Bush's rope would be longer than that of other top-five picks. He was the best player on the most famous college football team of the 21st century. I have no ties to USC, but I watched every televised game from those final two Reggie Bush seasons. According to the NCAA, those games never happened. I can assure you they did, and they were unlike anything I've ever seen on a college football field.
Part of me still can't believe Houston passed on Bush with the first pick in the 2006 draft. From a rational, football perspective, it still makes sense, and even if Mario Williams has been disappointing for stretches of his career, he's still been much better than Bush. But there was a big part of watching Bush play that had nothing to do with rationality. Two different high school Bush highlight films have one million views on YouTube. I think we all knew we were watching something.
There were just enough flashes of that Bush in New Orleans (the touchdown in the NFC Championship Game in 2007, more diving past the pylon) to think that with a more consistent role in Miami, he could be something closer to the player we all imagined. He had 1,000 yards rushing in his first season with the Dolphins, but he was gone following his second. That brings us to this offseason, when the Lions signed Bush to a four-year, $16 million deal to make him their starting running back.
It's happening again in Detroit — the rationalization that somehow this will be the place Bush can thrive, if not as the player he was in college, then as the best version of what he can be now. The Lions have been without a running back since Barry Sanders. He'll be a viable weapon in the passing game. Detroit's power scheme is more suited to his talents. All of those things are probably true, but in the end, they probably won't matter. We know what Reggie Bush is. It's just that somehow, on some level, there's a group not ready to believe that. I can admit that I'm decidedly among them. I don't know what Bush will do in Detroit, but I know that I'll be watching.

Mexican Architecture With An Oasis Of Light
On 18, Apr 2013 | No Comments | In Interior inspiration | By Matthieu
Whoever thinks of Mexico often spontaneously thinks of the Aztecs and their top quality architecture. Several thousand years later there are still new architectural delights to be discovered in Mexico. No concrete temples, but rather transparent villas such as the Y-shaped home of the Grupo Volta firm of architects.
This residence had to meet the new requirements of a couple whose children had flown the nest. Where large glass windows allow natural light into the spaces, designer lamps such as the Tom Dixon Mirror Ball, the Flos Fucsia en the Louis Poulsen PH ensure that light plays a prominent role at all times.
Living room: Tom Dixon Mirror Ball
The living room of this Grupo Volta dwelling, built in 2012, is best described as spacious, elegant and stylish. Apart from the warm wooden floor and the sleek future, the Tom Dixon Mirror Balls were quite properly chosen as lighting. The British designer Tom Dixon got his inspiration for this lamp from NASA's space helmets. The mirror effect of the pendant lamp was obtained by pouring a very thin layer of pure metal onto the polycarbonate sphere.
Dining room: Flos Fucsia
Just like in the living room no effort was spared to choose the right lighting for above the dining table. In the end, one of the creations of Achille Castiglioni was selected: the Flos Fucsia. The latter is characterised by an aluminium tube which supports the lamp and a glass bell jar draped around it like a transparent cloak. It is good to see that this way the glass stair rail, the glass display cases and the glass dining table enforce the glass touch in the lighting.
Pool room: Louis Poulsen PH
There is one particular space in the 468 square metre house which I am a bit jealous of: the room with the pool table. In order to avoid the queue from piercing the usually expensive felt in the encroaching darkness like a mole, two white Louis Poulsen PH pendant lamps are hovering above this table. The lamp was developed in the 1930s of last century by Poul Henningsen in response to the conventional lustre lamps. In the James Bond film 'Quantum of Solace' one of the scenes incidentally still featured the table lamp variant.
Project details
- Architects: Villalba + Medina (Grupo Volta)
- Pictures: Carlos Galarza
- Used lighting: Flos Fucsia, Tom Dixon Mirror Ball, Louis Poulsen PH
I suspect that the Aztecs would throw away their torches made of pine branches, the only means of light that was available at the time, if they had to choose the lighting for their temples nowadays. Perhaps they would also opt for a bit more glass in their dark temples …

The rain may have stopped early on during Wednesday night's District 1 Little League loser's bracket contest between Cochranton and Vernon, but that didn't stop Cochranton from pouring on the offense at Roche Park.
A big fourth inning and dominant pitching combined to lift Cochranton to a 10-0 victory over Vernon in five innings, and in the process keeping its season alive for at least one more game.
For Cochranton manager Matt Bernarding, that's just enough.
"We're ecstatic. We're ready to go," Bernarding said. "We are ready for any challenge, and we know we can step up."
If Cochranton performs like it did Wednesday, it has as good of a shot as any team left in the tournament at making some noise.
While a 10-run outburst kept the bats red hot, it was the pitching of hurler Curtis Freyermuth that stole the show.
Freyermuth was lights out from his first pitch to his very last, keeping Vernon's lineup off-balanced and jumpy in the batter's box. Freyermuth allowed just one hit over five innings while striking out nine.
No wonder Bernarding could only think of one word to describe the performance: Dominant.
"When (Freyermuth) is up there, his teammates relax," Bernarding said. "He was dominant. He's a leader on the mound."
For Freyermuth, it was bouncing back from his last outing that motivated the youngster.
"I felt good, a lot better than last game," Freyermuth said. "I focused a lot more."
Cochranton jumped out to an early lead in the bottom of the first when an Ian Haynes sacrifice fly with the bases loaded scored Alex McKay to make it 1-0. Two pitches later, Kohl Bernarding scored on a wild pitch to give Cochranton a 2-0 advantage.
Cochranton made it 3-0 when Zack Snedeker reached first on a fielder's choice, then came around to score on an RBI single by Caleb Glancy.
While Vernon was still trying to figure out Freyermuth, it was Cochranton's bats that sparked a five-run fourth inning to put the game away.
Four consecutive errors led off the inning, three of which came on hard hit balls, to plate a pair of runs for Cochranton. Back-to-back walks followed to set the table for Glancy and Brandon Richter to hit sacrifice flies of their own, and before you knew it, it was 8-0 in favor of Cochranton.
A leadoff double by Bernarding in the bottom of the fifth, followed by a walk, put two runners on base for Cochranton. A pair of wild pitches followed to bring home both runners, ending the game.
Kohl Bernarding had a big game at the plate, finishing 3-for-4 with two runs scored. Haynes went 2-for-4 with two runs and an RBI in the win.
Cochranton took advantage of errors by Vernon, but hard hit balls and timely batting kept Vernon from keeping pace.
"We've been hitting the ball well lately," Bernarding said. "We started off slow, but we're doing a lot better now. We think we're pretty solid up and down the lineup."
With the win, Cochranton gets a shot at Mid-East on Friday, a match-up of two teams who are pretty familiar with each other.
Freyermuth plans on channeling the Cochranton victory into Friday's contest, and perhaps beyond that.
"It gets us pumped up for the next game," Freyermuth said. "Hopefully, we can win the rest of them."
DISTRICT 1: Cochranton stays alive with another rout
- Sports
Breese lone local to reach Class AA finals
A busy and entertaining Day 2 of wrestling at the PIAA Individual Wrestling Championships in Hershey came and went, as did the dreams of a gold medal for a handful of local wrestlers.
The one local wrestler that doesn't apply to is Lakeview's Sam Breese, who had the Giant Center crowd in aw during his two matches Friday. The two bouts equated to two wins, which means a shot a defending his championship. -
Lee, Wheeling survive Day 2 in Hershey
Ehrin Lee's smile following his quarterfinal win Friday at the PIAA Individual Wrestling Championships told the whole story.
Lee has had his eyes on the state championships all season long, and just getting there wasn't enough. The Titusville 160-pounder has wrestled like one of the best grapplers in the state during the tournament thus far, and his 3-2 overtime win over Northampton's Bobby Fehr proved that if nothing else, he's one of the four best wrestlers in his weight class. -
Cards can't slow Vincentian
The starters on the Cochranton boys basketball team probably slept like logs on Friday night.
They left every ounce on the hardwood of Meadville High School's House of Thrills, going up against the high-intensity attack of Vincentian Academy in the opening round of the PIAA Class A playoffs. -
McLane rolls past Neshannock
Sarah Jay has made a habit of presenting her players with in depth scouting reports prior to each and every game.
But the report she handed them on Neshannock, the Lady Lancers' first round opponent in the PIAA Class AA playoffs, was nothing like they had seen before. -
Class AA first round filled with highs, lows for locals
It was a day full of highs and lows for the 11 local Class AA wrestlers on the opening day of the PIAA Individual Wrestling Championships in Hershey.
For some, it was business as usual, and for others, the atmosphere of a crowded Giant Center proved to be a little much. By the time the preliminary and Round 1 consolation rounds were finished, eight wrestlers are still alive, with state wrestling experience proving to be invaluable Thursday morning. -
Lee, Wheeling stay in hunt for Class AAA state title
A win is a win, and when it comes to the PIAA Individual Wrestling Championships, as long as your score reads higher in the end, it really doesn't matter how you get there.
During the preliminary round of the tournament Thursday afternoon at the Giant Center in Hershey, the six local qualifiers certainly had mixed results, but in the end, two wrestlers are still in the championship bracket, exactly where they want to be. -
Cards look to slow down Vincentian
"The best way to sum it up is," said Cochranton head coach Scott McCurdy, "it's like they're down five and there are 30 seconds to go. Only, they play like that for the entire 32 minutes."
McCurdy is talking about the Vincentian Academy boys basketball team, which employs a style that's ... well ... calling it up-tempo just doesn't seem to suffice. -
Lancers get tough draw in opener
One may think that by winning a District 10 title and getting paired up with the seventh seed out of District 7 for the first round of the state playoffs, that said champion would have a pretty choice matchup.
Yet, that's not how things shook out for the General McLane girls basketball team. The D-10 champion Lady Lancers drew a challenging foe in Neshannock. -
'Dogs rout Bison to reach title game
Having defeated Fort LeBoeuf by a grand total of 24-0 in their previous three meetings, the tension wasn't exactly palpable for the Meadville Bulldogs hockey team as it squared off with the Bison in a Lakeshore Hockey League semfinal game on Thursday night at Erie Insurance Arena.
Calvary wins opener
The Calvary Baptist girls basketball team won its opening game of the National Christian School Athletic Association Tournament on Thursday at Family First Sports Park.

Hi All,
The TasLUG June meeting will be held on the Thursday 29th June 7:30pm, upstairs at Bridie O'Reilly's.
I'll be giving a presentation on IP, the FTA and competition (I promise it won't be too lawyery :) ) and answer some questions on IP and the FTA. We'll also have some updates on the LCA2008 bid and software freedom day and our usual q & a sessions.
Ben (IANAL ..... yet)
Hi All,
Software freedom day is on again this year on September 16th. I've registered a team from Hobart and submitted a request for materials from SFD international. We'll probably do a similar event to last year - an expo with displays and the like as it was very popular last year. I've opened up a thread in the suggestion box for any ideas, offers of help etc.
It'd be good if we could get a team together from the North as well so we could have a truly Statewide SFD - you can register a team here (SFD international). Make sure you request your materials ASAP as there are limited supplies and this year's SFD looks bigger than ever. Last year Australia registered the most teams of any country, let's see if Tassie can register the most teams of any state :)
Hi All,
As I'm sure most of you know Australia is looking at amending its copyright laws to "harmonise" them with those of the US as part of the USAFTA. The current proposals go further than is necessary and go a long way to protecting the interests of big media and proprietary software in a similar way to the US DMCA. This is all despite a parliamentary committee and the High Court of Australia( Stevens v Kabushiki Kaisha Sony Computer Entertainment [2005] HCA 58 - especially read Kirby, J) recommending otherwise.
Linux Australia has organised a petition against the changes which can be found: here. Rusty Russell has also organised a Q&A session tonight (16th June) at 8:30 details are on the Linux Australia website. UPDATE: a copy of the q&a session and slides are now up on the Linux Australia website.
If you can't make it to the q&a session tonight, then I'd be happy to give a presentation on some on these issues at the next TasLUG meeting on the 29th.
This is a very important issue and I urge everyone to get involved in this lobbying effort - we really don't need the DMCA in Australia.
The Open Source Developers' Conference is an Australian conference

Hi all,
As we all know you can't have a conference without a logo, so here's the one for Tassie's LCA 2008 bid:
The Tassie lca2008 bid logo
We've already got some good feedback from the Linux Australia mailing list and we'd like to hear TasLUG's feedback too.

The 60 playing pieces have three different color combinations (one color on each side):
Each player tries to get 5 pieces of the same color in a row, horizontally, vertically or diagonally on his side. The opponent tries to prevent this through clever, strategic moves, and at the same time tries to build his own five in a row.
The attraction of the game lies in the fact that each player only knows the back color of the pieces they played. With pieces played by the opponent there are always two possibilities, so you can only draw indirect conclusions from the play of the game.

We describe a new technique permitting the mapping of neural connections in the living human brain. The method combines two well established tools of brain research: transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and positron emission tomography (PET). We use TMS to stimulate directly a selected cortical area while simultaneously measuring changes in brain activity, indexed by cerebral blood flow (CBF), with PET. The exact location of the stimulation site is achieved by means of frameless stereotaxy. In the first study using this technique, we found significant positive correlations between CBF and the number of TMS pulse trains at the stimulation site, namely the left frontal eye field (FEF) and, most importantly, in the visual cortex of the superior parietal and medial parieto-occipital regions. The pattern of these distal effects was consistent with the known anatomic connectivity of the monkey FEF. We suggest that the combined TMS/PET technique offers an objective tool for assessing the state of functional connectivity without requiring the subject to engage in any specific behavior.

The Marcellus shale play runs through northern Appalachia, primarily in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, New York, and Ohio. It is part of the Devonian black shale and the thickness of the gas-producing rock is as much as 900 feet. The formation runs an estimated 600 miles north to south, and is estimated to hold as much as 500 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, about 50 tcf of which is recoverable using current technology. It is one of the richest gas fields in North America.
The proximity to customers in Eastern urban centers is what makes the Marcellus so desirable. Fort Worth-based Range Resources was one of the early players in the Marcellus and still has a huge position in the play. Norway's Statoil has signed a joint venture with Chesapeake Energy to work together in the Marcellus, and other US and foreign companies also are involved in drilling and infrastructure development.

Aluminum-Coated Hollow Glass Fibers for ArF-Excimer Laser Light Fabricated by Metallorganic Chemical-Vapor Deposition
Applied Optics, Vol. 38, Issue 12, pp. 2458-2462 (1999)
Acrobat PDF (513 KB)
A hollow fiber composed of a glass capillary tube and a metal thin film upon the inside of the tube is proposed for the delivery of ArF-excimer laser light. From theoretical analysis, aluminum is chosen as the metal layer. A thin aluminum film is deposited by metallorganic chemical-vapor deposition, with dimethylethylamine alane employed as the source material. Measured loss spectra in vacuum-ultraviolet and ultraviolet regions and losses for ArF-excimer laser light show the low-loss property of the aluminum-coated fiber at the 193-nm wavelength of ArF-excimer laser light. The straight loss of the 1-m long, 1-mm-bore fiber is 1.0 dB.

UnitedHealth profit soars in Q2
- John Vomhof Jr.
- of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Business Journal
UnitedHealth Group's profit surged 31 percent in the second quarter, beating Wall Street estimates.
The Minnetonka, Minn.-based parent of PacifiCare Health Systems posted net income of $1.12 billion, or 99 cents per share, for the quarter ended June 30. That's compares to earnings of $859 million, or 73 cents per share, in the comparable period last year.
Revenue came in at $23.26 billion for the most recent quarter, up 7 percent from $21.66 billion in the year-ago period.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters, on average, had projected earnings of 75 cents per share on revenue of $22.97 billion.
UnitedHealth cited better-than-projected growth in its Health Benefits and Health Services businesses as the driving force behind its second-quarter gains.
Revenue for the Health Benefits business — comprised of UnitedHealthcare, Ovations and AmeriChoice — grew 7 percent to $21.6 billion, driven by the addition of 1.1 million new members in the public and senior markets during the past year. Those gains were partially offset by a decline of about 400,000 people in the commercial benefits market, largely due to declining U.S. employment in 2009.
UnitedHealth's Health Services business, led by its Ingenix and Prescription Solutions units, saw revenue increase 16 percent to $864 million. The gains were driven by growth in an increase in customers served through pharmaceutical benefit-mangement programs, as well as increased revenue from public sector programs and health care technology software and services.
UnitedHealth (NYSE: UNH) also updated its full-year 2010 guidance, calling for revenue of approximately $93 billion, net earnings in the range of $3.40 to $3.60 per share and cash flows from operations approaching $5 billion. The company previously had projected earnings of between $2.90 and $3.10 per share.

Or swap in a real transmission :P
Type: Posts; User: DerekH
Or swap in a real transmission :P
Psh, last week the snow on the ground met the snow on my hood. Only way i knew it was my car was that i remembered where i parked.
New plugs coils and an oil change.
Also, for those of you that...
Interested in the injectors.
Been following this thread since the start. Awesome work man im glad everything has worked out for you!
Finally its here, customs rapped me though. between customs shipping and currency exchange i think im into an extra 400+ bucks. pretty frustrating getting stuff to canada.
Bummer, hope you get a new one soon too so you can enjoy the cool boost.
Whew, that's a relief. Back to happy mine is almost here.
Mine cleared customs today. im starting to itch.
The only thing i dont like about that pic is it means there is one less manifold in this world. kinda makes me sad.
IE sells the cam locks for fairly cheap i think. just a thought.
Your next project needs to be a teleporter. so i can have all the stuff i ordered without waiting :P
Do the friday guys get the billet coasters too then?
Placed an order last night. pretty stoked.
Did you guys realize that its cheaper by 100 bucks to buy the power kit (for 1350 +free fuel rail) and buy the valve cover (330) than buying the turkey dinner for 1780. might want to check into that...
You guys going to be shipping to canada during this sale? if so should i arrange something with you beforehand?
header highflow cat and 2.5in piping that was it.
Had my car straightpiped for a few months. i liked it but you will get a ticket. it is very very loud.
The flex pipe is too short on all the mid pipes and wares out super fast. get it cut out and replaced with a longer one. that's what i did and i have no issues with it now.
From everything i have read so far it seems as though stock fueling is good for more than 300 hp. Can't see why you would need fueling until you get into the double digits boost.
Yes but even so there is still enough oil residue around that it would pick up lots of shavings. i can't really see there being a safe way of doing that.

"Um, Dom…hypothetical question…."
So it was going to be one of those days. The last time Topher had accosted him by the elevator with that particular expression of exaggerated innocence, he'd somehow managed to imprint X-Ray with the brain of a howler monkey. Laurence still grimaced when he thought about the screeching active scaling the walls, biting security staff and generally behaving as any pissed off monkey would.
While shooting the actives was frowned upon, that occasion had warranted the use of a tranquilizer gun, which Laurence had put to good use, thankfully before Monkey X-Ray started flinging feces around to express his discontent.
Adelle DeWitt was a consummate professional and the sort of woman who remained calm throughout any crisis, but he doubted she'd frequent any place that had ever required someone remove fecal matter from the walls. If that was the case, she'd have made Dominic deal with Topher more often and everyone knew that was something that would not end well.
Then again, maybe she would have just razed the lab and rebuilt from scratch. She had enough style and flair to pull off a power move like that and could have probably even convinced Topher that the whole thing was his idea….
God he admired her…even as he was horrified by the business she oversaw. With each passing day, he hated having to deceive her a little more, even if he was doing both of his jobs to the best of his ability. The house never got less than 110% from him, despite the fact that he loathed what they did.
With a sigh, Laurence turned to Topher, silently wishing he'd had a second cup of coffee before leaving home this morning. "What?"
He imbued the word with a level of irritation and annoyance that should deter Topher unless it was a real crisis…or Topher was feeling particularly annoying. The visible, overturned furniture, groaning security people on the floor and startled actives and caretakers pointed to the former option, but not Alpha crisis levels.
"Okay, so say someone possibly had the idea that maybe it would be interesting to create an imprint of a fictional character…and say that fictional imprint accidentally got downloaded into an active…and say…."
"What did you do?" With all the pharmaceutical and medical advances Rossum had made over the years, you'd think they'd have found some pill that could fix whatever the hell was wrong with Topher. Cause seriously, the kid wasn't quite right in the head sometimes.
Topher frowned. "Now why do you always assume…Sierra thinks she's Buffy the Vampire Slayer!" he blurted when Dominic glared, then pointed off to one of the side rooms. Laurence turned in time to see one of his security team come flying out of the room as though he had been kicked.
"The good news, she's not trying to stake people anymore." Topher kept up a running commentary as he trotted across the floor in Laurence's wake. "And-- So awesome-- she thought Victor was Angel, yelled at him to go back to LA. Echo's in with Saunders', cause Sierra though she was Faith and called me Xander! Oh, oh and she thinks Boyd is Mr. Trick and Hearn is The Master, so there's no Handler/Active trust there now…"
" Topher," Dominic snarled, placing a hand on the tranquilizer gun under his jacket, even as he pondered a career change. Maybe, if he asked nicely, he could get assigned to the Intersect project. He got along pretty well with John Casey.
Or hell, he could leave the NSA all together. CTU was always hiring and he'd heard Jack Bauer had retired again, so the life expectancy of their average field agents was probably on the upswing. But knowing Bauer, he'd never stay out of the game and random agents would again become human cannon fodder.
Who was he trying to kid? He wasn't going anywhere. The main reason being a certain British accented superior with a sharp wit and great legs.
Approaching the room divider, he peered around it wit a sigh and called out, "Buffy?"
Sierra was tugging futilely at one of the decorative wooded structural elements, trying to pull it down, possibly to use as some sort of a weapon. At the sound of his voice, she stopped and turned to him with narrowed eyes before visibly relaxing.
"Spike!" she said, abandoning her attempted demolition. "What is this place. I think they drugged me, I feel so weak."
Laurence had no real response for that and was simply thankful she wasn't reacting to him with violence. "I don't know," he responded vaguely, then decided to try to resolve the situation. "Would you like to have a treatment?"
Sierra blinked. "That sounds nice," she agreed readily enough and crossed the room to his side, reaching up to finger his slate grey suit and cobalt blue shirt. "I'm liking the new look…but maybe ditch the blazer for the leather. Much more Big Bad."
"I'll take that under advisement," he said, ushering her into Topher's lab and trying not to twitch over the fact that she had called an Armani suit jacket a blazer. More than once during the walk, she had goosed him, something Topher found extremely amusing. Much to Laurence's relief, she laid in the chair with little fuss, only tossing out a few innuendo laden comments before Topher began the wipe.
Straightening his suit, Laurence glared at Topher, who was still snickering, before stalking out and to the elevator. He was behind schedule, late for a meeting with Ms. DeWitt.
Not that she wouldn't know exactly what had transpired . Very little happened in her house without her knowledge. Just another thing he admired about her.
Entering her office, he said, "Sorry for the delay, Ma'am."
"Quite all right, Mr. Dominic," she replied, then offered him a wry smile. "I saw much of the excitement on the security monitors. Mr. Brink has been feeling creative, I see."
"Yes. He made a Buffy the Vampire Slayer imprint. I really wish you'd reconsider letting me fit him with a shock collar," he said before refocusing. "I'm sure Topher's report will have details about the imprint, because I had no real clue what he'd done. It was dumb luck that "Buffy" thought I was someone she knew."
"Really?" One elegant brow arched and she said, "Tell me, who did she identify you as?"
"Someone named Spike."
She actually bit back a laugh and he was truck by how pretty she looked, smiling and tilting her head to the side to gaze at him with consideration. "Well, the hair and eyes are close, but you, Mr. Dominic, are significantly taller and better dressed."
"There was a comment made about leather," he told her with a shrug.
DeWitt made a speculative noise and said, "That…would work."
Maybe they were all going a little crazy. Insanity through osmosis. Hell, he wasn't even weirded out by the sci-fi stuff that happened around him every day. Less than five minutes ago, he'd been groped by an active who thought she was a vampire slayer and now he was in DeWitt's office prepared to offer his latest suggestion on how to deal with the Agent Ballard situation.
Laurence thought the most expedient thing would be to simply take the man out, but DeWitt thought it a bit of an overkill. Fortunately, the guy wasn't exactly an investigative genius and wasn't even close to getting near them.
DeWitt was still eyeing him, so he asked, "Ma'am?"
"You've honestly never watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer?"
On this still? "Not really my cup of tea. I prefer police dramas, Homicide and the like."
She smiled. "I'll loan you a DVD. You don't know what you're missing."
Yeah, it was going to be one of those days…….
