Wandering
Who: Murphy MacManus and OTA
When: Sunday afternoon after the chapel
Where: Wandering the grounds
Status: Incomplete.

*Murph was in a good mood. He missed his brother and Da like fucking crazy, but at least he had Dawn Here. He was wandering about, really going nowhere. He missed shooting. So, when he found himself at the archery range, he took off his pea-coat and found a bow and some arrows, a spare arm guard and began taking shots. Come talk to him.*

	Lucas was walking back in from the basketball court when he spotted Murphy at the archery range. "Hey Murphy," he said with a grin, making sure Murphy wasn't about to take a shot when he spoke. (Reply to this) (Thread)

"Oi, ya wily shyte. How goes the married life? Ya been havin' lots of mad, crazy sex, ya skinny prick."

He smiled at the tow headed kid. His best friend in all of Here next to Dawn, that is, he thought to himself and smiled. He missed her, he'd need to plan something exclusively for them, but for now back to the skinny bastard in front of him.

"Playin' with the rock all by yerself again?"

"Married life is great. Just like the woman I'm married to," he said smiling widely. "And as for the mad, crazy sex, well that would be telling," he said with a wink. "Lets just say I've been busy," he said grinning.

"It's called a basketball," he said grinning wider. "Layla got it for me." The ball would always hold a special meaning for him. Given to him by the woman he loved so he could play the game he loved.

"Maybe I can show you how to play sometime."

"Busy." He snickered.

"Dude, I know what it's called. In Boston when we played the nickname for the ball was called the rock. Actually, most anyplace I've gone and Conner and I played B-ball they called it the rock. That was nice a her, but don't they have ones ova at the court? Did when I played myself. No, no need really. I mean aye, ya could help me improve my three pointers. I used ta be good at travellin', except when I got shot recently...Well, me arm is still workin' itself out."

Then he thought about it, if he seemed rude, that was how Murphy was at the ready, then he calmed down and his more concerned, gentler nature came out. He was always the type to fuck with people though.

"See, Conner an' I moved ta Boston around thirteen years back. He lived in New York for two years. We did a lot of travelin' across Europe growin' up, plus we stayed in Ireland an' took care a' Ma. The jobs we took all ova' Europe or in Ireland neva' paid us well enough ta care fer our Ma'. So, we moved to the U.S., illegally, and worked as much as we could. Sendin' her money and other shyte she might need an' our Grams came to live wit' her. The area we lived in was mostly all family. They took care of their own."

"Oh right sorry. My brother Nathan used to call it that sometimes but it didn't click at first," he said smiling. "I can give you pointers on three pointers no problem. They are my speciality. Layla got me the ball before we moved in together. She wanted to surprise me and we didn't know there was a court or hoop Here. Then I had a heart attack and she gave it to me after I woke up. She said she was worried she was gonna have to give it away."

"That was very decent of both of you guys, to move to America to take care of your mom. Where I'm from, it's a small town so everyone knows your business. I spent most of my childhood trying to avoid my father. Wasn't easy."

He listened to his story, a somber look on his face. He bit his thumb and patted Lucas on the back.

"Glad ya pulled the fuck through, I'd have ta go an' bring y ass back ta life, kill ya fer leavin' me here, alone with just wimmen ta hanf out with. Now, I love wimmen, but that drive me fuckin' insane after a bit."

He nodded toward the ball.

"That was mighty nice of her to give to ya. You guys give me hope... ya know, in the whole story of love. My parents split up when we was young, not that they didn' love on anotha' jus' he did things that kept him away from us. You two make it look easy. Our M is fuckin' nuts, really nits. She is our Ma' though, we'd kill an' die fer her. She means everything ta us."

"No possible way I couldn't have come back. I had the choice. My uncle Keith, he said I could go with him. Then he showed me Layla standing at my grave. He said she's led a good life but she could never let go of me. And I knew I had to go back to her because I love her too much."

He smiled then.

"Yeah it was really nice of her. And I'm glad we give you hope Murphy. You and Dawn both deserve love and happiness. My father abandoned my mom when she was pregnant with me, went off and got her another woman pregnant and married her. Then her and Keith were gonna get married and adopt me a little before I cam here. That was before he was murdered. My mom is the strongest person I've ever known. We were always really close when I was growing up. I miss her a lot."

He merely nodded as he listened. "Think it possible ya mentioned that before."

He smiled softly.

"Don't get me wrong, Ma and Da loved one anotha', but Da had a callin' that took him away from us. All I eva' had that I loved beyond reason was Conner. Then I met Dawn, seein' you two togetha' gives me hope of a love not jus' born a blood.'

	"Yeah, Layla is the love of my life, never thought I was capable of such love until I met her. And I'm glad we can give you hope. Dawn seems like a really nice girl," he said smiling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Dawn is more 'en nice. She is sweet, sexy, tender, smart. She is everythin' I neva' coulda imagined findin' in a million years. An' Layla is a good girl, ya treat her like one, ya hear?

	"I'm really happy for you Murphy. Yeah, she's a great girl. I can have a hot head but I've been working on that as best I can. Layla deserves that. She deserves a lot of things. She's my girl.

	"I'm glad ta hear tha' ya idiot." He said with a mischievous smirk and then he picked Lucas up as far as he could and began to rough house with him a little bit, jokingly punching him in the gut. "Aye, ya fuckin' sissy boy!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He nodded softly. "So what about you? I mean, what fuels you?" He was so far from how his brother was, him and his brother were always rough housing, or playing jokes, or learning things, going to church. He wondered if he and Lucas even had anything in co,,on, age being a big issue. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Abby Sciuto was sipping on her own version of a Caff-pow! - courtesy of some testing with one of the invisible bar tenders - and taking a stroll around the grounds. She'd just been to check on her tomato plants at the greenhouse and wasn't paying too much attention to where she was going.

Pssssssssh-wat!

That got her attention.

She stopped abruptly, turned and stared at the man with the bow, then looked the other way, her eyes resting on the arrow, which was sticking out of one of the targets.

"Hello, Robin Hood," she said, said, as brightly as possible for someone who had just missed becoming a Human shishkabob.

That's what I get for not paying attention.

	"WHOA! ARE YA FUCKIN' NUTS?" He yelled before he collected himself and got himself more calmed down. "Sorry, sorry ya OK? I didn' hurtcha? What the hell are ya doin' walkin' around in an archery range like that?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forensics_grrl 2008-06-07 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	The man was, rightly, upset. "I'm sorry!" she called back to him and took a few steps closer before thinking twice. Who knows how mad he was? "I wasn't paying attention. So not your fault. Mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa." Abby knew she was fine, but she looked down anyway and checked. No holes. "Yeah, I'm good." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He nodded at her apology.

"No worries, yer fine, I'm fine sans the minor heart attack. Least ya could do is get outta range and come tell me yer name so I pray fer yer soul and that ya may neva walk in the line of fire again."

Then he let out a string of curses in Irish Gaelic, Spanish, French, German, Russian,and Italian for now as he rubbed a hand over his face and calmed down.

"Oh. Right. Sorry."

Abby took a few steps back and moved around to where the man was set up for archery, wondering what he was saying, though it was obvious to her that they were expletives.

"Ooooo, 'merde'," she said brightly. "I know that one. And 'cazzo'. Tony uses that one when he thinks Gibbs isn't listening."

She has another sip on the straw of her homemade Caff-Pow!, then said, "And I'm Abby. Sorry I got in the way."

He chuckled then smiled.

"Yeah, it does."

He shook his head then.

"Are ya high? I thought I was a very bouncy an' jumpy kinda guy, but yer really surpassin' me in that aspect. Aren't you goth chics supposed ta be broody, givin' people the evil eye, smokin' cloves an' generally bein' mystic and dark? No complaints, cause it's hot, the whole goth vibe. It's nice ta meet ya Abby. No worries, jus' glad it weren't one of me guns. I don' wanna put any holes in a beauty such as yerself. Be like ruinin' the Mona Lisa."

HE lined up another shot, pulled back and let it fly.

"Eh, not a Glock, but it'll do. Glad I took even summers of archery, swimmin' an' all kinds of campy type things. Come in handy stuck Here doin' nothin'. You?"

She sipped on her drink and did her best to follow what he was saying, which wasn't the easiest thing she'd ever done. She tried to respond as best she could to the parts that she actually understood.

"Okay, here we go. I'm fine, maybe just a little hyper, but that depends on whether or not you pay any attention to my report cards from high school. If I'm high on anything, it's caffeine." She raises her cup. "This is a very caffeinated drink. It's more caffeinated than... a really caffeinated thing."

Abby took a breath. "I can be broody, but that's usually when I'm on my period and I don't smoke cloves. I tried being mystic, but kept getting the wrong channels." She grinned. "I do have an 'evil eye', sort of, but it's a look, you know?" She tried to do it, but couldn't. "If you get me mad, you'll know it. And aren't you sweet?"

She checked the target and said, "Nice shot, Robin Hood. A Glock is, statistically, more accurate than a bow and arrow, though a crossbow can be really accurate. hard to reload quickly, though." She paused, checked all the points and nodded, satisfied she only had two left.

"I've never taken archery. I didn't actually know this was here... at Here. And I was just going for a walk. Nice day. So, I'm assuming your name isn't 'Robin Hood'."

Okay, three things left...

He chuckled at her antics, if anything she was cute and funny.

"That, is a whole lotta caffeine. Gotta say, not like I gotta problem wit' that, I mean I drink an' smoke like a chimney."

He smiled at her compliment of his shot.

"Thanks, how I do love ta rob from the rich an' feed ta the poor, usually meself and me brotha' Conner. Ya got points on knowin' yer stats in a Glock an' on the facts of the problems wit'a bow an' arrow. Well, it is...an I'm sure people Here could take a tic outta their lives an' their plans ta show ya, iffen ya be so inclined ta learn?"

She had another sip of her Caff-Pow! and nodded in what seemed like the right places. When he seemed to be asking a question, based on how the word went up at the end, she said, "Uh, yeah. I'm... only getting, like, one word in three, but what I got from that is that you smoke and drink, you and your brother are thieves, and you've just offered to show me how to use a bow and arrow."

Abby raised both eyebrows. "Did I get it? I'll get used to your accent, I promise, but I'll need to hear it a bit more, that's all. Oh, and the Glock part? I'm in forensics back home." She pursed her bright red lips. "And you still haven't told me your name."

"Thieves, Nah! Me an' me brotha have been tapped by God his or herself. The rest ya got right."

He snorted, laughed softly and shook his head.

"Yeah, no worries." She was adorable.

He set another arrow up, pulling back the string and took a shot, then turned his head to her.

"Yeah, I know I didnae, it's Murphy. Ya can call me Murph, Arsehole...whateva' makes ya comfortable."

	"Okay, gotcha. Tapped by God, huh? Should I ask?" She watched him fire another arrow - he's good - and raised both eyebrows at his name. "Annnnnnnnd I'll stick with 'Murphy', if that's okay with you." She smirked, shook her head and tsked. "Yelling 'Arsehole!' across the grounds of Here would be so ill-mannered. Don't you think?"

	"Only iffen ya wanna know the right answer, ya can ask. I dun' mind." He turned his head and gave her a brilliant smile. "Sure, tis fine. I', fine wit' it. I been called better an' worse."

	"How about you answer me if you want to, otherwise, I'll let it pass." He was a bit quirky, but he had a nice smile and hey, he hadn't killed her yet. That had to count for something, right? "And I'll stick with Murphy. So." She cleared her throat, having not been called 'doll' in a while, and asked, "You offered to show me how to use the bow?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"All right, ya come find me and we can work on your bow skills. Ya need ta work out yer arm though, both of 'em. Ya gonna be pullin' a lot of wait and so ya need the strength. So, I suggest workin' on five pounds, 5 sets with 10 pumps each arm-daily, next week, double it ta 10 sets and 10 or 15 pounds-daily. Don' ferget ta add some stretches, kay? Then go up again. Once ya can hit 20 at 30 pounds, then we can work with a bow. Get ya an arm brace too." He said with a quirked brow. "Ya got tha'?
