((Since the lab's in NY, I wondered why there wasn't something set in Central Park. Except for 'Taking a Walk'. Things that happen in the park don't have to be in the exact same location as someone else is and people don't have to run into each other but they can here. I hope it was a good idea...))
Sam got out of the cab in the south of Central Park, at Central Park Street. She walked up Center Drive and sat down on a bench, watching people passing by. Nothing more relaxing than watching people.
((Oh I love Google Earth))

Rhia was strolling through Central Park. Her shift wasn't starting yet and she really loved to walk in the park. Although it was very cold and she expected snow soon. Thinking about Christmas her smile vanished. Whom would she spent the "holy" day with? Sophie still was in Coma, her parents dead... she would end up like every Christmas. Sitting at home watching TV or reading a good book. Whatever she did, she never turned on the radio for she wouldn't stand any Christmas song. When she strolled along she suddenly noticed a figure that seemed familiar to her. Rhia went closer to the bench...
"Hey Sam! Long time no see, huh?" she smiled a true smile and hugged her. "How've you been? It's quite boring with you not being around, y'know?"

Sam smiled. "Hey Rhia! Thanks... hey, I got some good news! I passed the test of the course! I'm now officially allowed to make an educated guess on the perp in a case... How've you been? How're things going? New cases yet?"

"Wow...great! Congrats! Well, the lab is a mess..." Rhia sat down beside her friend and started to draw circles in the earth with her left foot.
"Since Luke's gone, there's only chaos. Noone seems to know what to do or where to go... I hope we'll get a new supervisor soon. Got no idea who...maybe they give us someone new...well, I wouldn't like that...They wouldn't know how to deal with everything."
She sighed.
"Oh, sorry, I'm so egoistic. Just talking and talking... I really miss you at the lab... Y'know...Brian's just working...but it's good he's that fine..."

Sam laughed. "You're not egoistic... yeah it's good he's feeling okay, or he just denies the whole thing... ah well, that's the first step. Denial, Anger, Negotiation, Depression and Peace. Or he's already past denial and he has peace with it. That'd be fast, but it's possible... Oh god I learned too much. Chaos in the lab, you said? No wonder. I mean, you, Brian, Zora, all of you three would make a great supervisor and you are all in the right position for it. I don't think they'd hire someone new for the position of supervisor, unless they want to make a huge mess in the lab... no offence for newbies and stuff but they just don't know our lab yet... Oh my god I just keep talking. You're the first person in days I had a proper conversation with someone. I want to say that proves I gotta find a life outside of the lab, but I got everything that's in Maslow's pyramid of needs there. I can pay the rent and my food from the money I get, it gives me the security I need, I got you and the others for friends and I get respect for what I do. I even have the ability to develop myself. Maslow's pyramid. Totally. Can you tell I'm hyperactive? I drank so much cola and coffee the last days I got enough caffeine and sugar in my system to last for a lifetime. But anyway. No new cases then?"

Rhia started smiling broadly, when she listened to her friend. She enjoyed just listening to her.
"No, nothing new by now. All we do is paperwork and stuff that's been lying on our desks for ages."
She gave a small laugh.
"I think Brian would be a good supervisor. He...kind of best knows how criminals think or would act...I mean..." Rhia didn't knew how to put it. "Well...he's felt them. He's been with that type of people for a certain amount time - enough to know how their minds are working..." she broke.
"But it's fine you did that course...so you can tell us how their minds are working too..." She smiled at her friend.
"Well, you seem a bit hyperactive, but if you'd like, we can stroll around in the park a bit..." Rhia suggested and stood up. "Then you can also tell me how long we'll have to cover for you back at the lab..." she gave her a mocking wink.

Sam smiled. "Yeah, sure, I'd like to stroll around a bit." She got on her feet. "Hmm, yeah, I also think Brian would make a good supervisor... but you too. I dunno, you really got those 'people' skils..." She sighed. "IAB sent me on an unwanted break until the second week of January... I think it's way too long, but I don't have a choice, do I? Maybe if either you or Brian or any other person will get sup, I can get back early. I really miss the lab." Sam shook her head. "I still can't believe they fired Luke."

Rhia shrugged her shoulders as they walked along.
"Yeah... I can't believe it. Just because he was human...it's...I don't know...sometimes everything seems so bureaucratic. There are times you can't act the way not to touch any rule made by a guy who's always sitting behind a desk not knowing what it's like to work like we do..."
She paused after this long sentence, still surprised that she would even be able to get such thing out of her mouth without stuttering or forgetting how it had started.
"That's also why I wouldn't make that good sup." she continued quietly. "I...sometimes have the tendency to 'hang the rules - they're more than guidelines anyway'.."
When Rhia realised she had just quoted a line from her favourite film she gave a quick laugh.

"Pirates!" Sam laughed. "Oh, I love that movie. Have you seen the sequel too? It's really great... so I guess it will be between you and Brian right? I really don't know which one of you would make a better sup... and you both have the tendency to hang the rules, right? So that shouldn't be a point. It'll be close, I guess."

"Yeah...Pirates." Rhia smiled. "I'm so in love with Johnny Depp. He's simply hot." She blushed.
"Well, about the whole sup-thing...all we can do is wait until there's a decision. I already filled out that form they sent me...What they wanted to know...horrible! In the end I was slightly surprised they didn't ask what I like to have for breakfast..." Rhia rolled her eyes.
"But I will miss Luke. Hopefully, he'll stay in contac with either of us...would be sad if he wanted to cut everything..." she added thoughtfully.
"Anyway... I considered getting myself a pet for Christmas...but then I can't stand the thought that I'll leave it along for such a long time...maybe a dog from animal shelter won't care as long as he gets feeded and stroke... Do you have any pets?"

Sam smiled. "No, don't have any pets. I'm away too much, like you said." her cell rang. "Sam Noir" she said. "Uh huh. Sure, why not. I got too much time on my hands. Yeah, I'll be right there." Sam looked at Rhia. "I'm sorry. I gotta go. Some reporter of the Times wants me to answer some questions about Luke getting fired and James and stuff. Damn reporters, they're like... well, they're very annoying. I'm so sorry. I hope you get chosen as sup!" She got up and walked off. Just before she turned a corner, she waved. She felt bad she had to leave Rhia so suddenly.

When Sam had left, all of a sudden Rhia felt completely alone. She knew it was noone's fault...but again those creepy feelings of being alone at Chrismtas came into her mind. She dreaded it. She let herself sink on the nearest bank and put the head in her hands. Watching the people walking by, some hurrying, some strolling along with their children or dogs, she got lost in thoughts again.
What am I to do? Somehow there's a dead end I'm in. There's no man in my life, I have little friends... I don't need to worry what I will give everyone to Christmas because I don't know everyone. I'll get something for Sam and Brian and ... Sophie...
Rhia sighed and looked up again. Somehow she couldn't find a sense in her life, lately. Just when she had moved to rise, her phone rang.
"Rhiannon Nerice." she said, after pulling it open. Listening to the voice on the other side, her eyes grew larger and larger. "Well..." she stammered. "Thank you very much, Sir. I won't let you down. Nope... Yeah, yeah. Okay, then. Bye."
She closed her phone not being able to believe what she had just listened to. She, Rhiannon Nerice, had been elected supervisor of the crimelab. Her cheeks grew red and a wide smile spread across her face. The dull park seemed now beautiful and full of laughter. Even her thoughts were positive now.
Well, first thing to do now is to organise a big Christmas party...one to remember...
