It's Marissa. Long time no.....blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, today we're out in New Jersey looking for a evidence in a secluded field. There has been what looks to be a serial killer on the loose here lately. The latest victim was found with no hands or face, which matches up with four other bodies found over the past two months with the same m.o. as this one. That's the body wrapped in that red tarp near the third guy on the left. The coroner hasn't arrived yet, so that's where the corpse is gonna have to stay until he orders it removed from the scene.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can't really tell that we're out in the middle of nowhere because all those vehicles make it look like a Mall parking lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not in the picture because I was the one that took the picture. But Bryan is second on the left. Look at him looking all official, dressed in his FBI blacks and cargos.&lt;br /&gt;From this distance no one can tell that he has a hangover the size of Montana. That's the price he has to pay for staying out all night with Hawkins and Newton.&lt;br /&gt;I mean who the hell goes drinking on a Monday night? Well, besides those three.&lt;br /&gt;They showed up in the office this morning at 7am in the same clothes they wore yesterday. Stink!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And to top it off Newton's wife has been calling me all morning asking if he's out on assignment. I told her yes, because the #1 rule is you don't sell out any of your squad members. Be it family, Special Agent in Charge or Director of the FBI, NO ONE gets any info on members of your squad unless you know for a fact that they're either a)Dead or b)Owes you money.&lt;br /&gt;The latter I like to hang over their heads in order to get loans paid back faster. Yes, I'm evil like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I'm off to go help Bryan before he pukes all over that guy's head and contaminates the scene.&lt;br /&gt;I'll try to keep in touch more often, but with the economy the way it is right now it seems all the wanna-be sociopaths  are crawling out the wood works, which means more crime, more crime scenes, more bodies, more suspects, more paperwork and more time chasing down leads. All of which requires more than 24 hours to cultivate. I was supposed to be on vacation next week, but that got pushed back because of this serial killer case.

But for the rest of fans it just seemed like work to review the past posts in order to find out more about this fascinating man, who always seem to have Marissa tied up in knots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So for your reading pleasure I will post the chapter links in the days to come(don't say I never did anything nice for you fans).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is Part 1: &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/12/3/1623158/Marcus%20Introduction"&gt;Marcus Introduction&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/757504247763011511-417020816695917391?l=marissachronicles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/757504247763011511/posts/default/417020816695917391'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/757504247763011511/posts/default/417020816695917391'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marissachronicles.blogspot.com/2008/09/note-from-geisha.html' title='A Note From Geisha'/><author><name>Nicole</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14914748905781531938</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/SOEhOjmF3GI/AAAAAAAAALE/4hLosd7f0DY/s72-c/1-lovers-leslie-marcus.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757504247763011511.post-5858091698983541067</id><published>2008-09-23T13:54:00.006-04:00</published><updated>2009-12-16T23:39:46.369-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Overheard</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/SNku7RN0e7I/AAAAAAAAAK8/7wf1YjzhA9o/s1600-h/boxed-records.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/SNku7RN0e7I/AAAAAAAAAK8/7wf1YjzhA9o/s320/boxed-records.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249278436445551538" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;Bryan and Marissa are down in the File Storage Room on the 21st Floor of the Federal Building.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; What are we looking for again?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; We need the court reports from the Manashi trial from 2006.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; And we need this why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; Because it ties into the Beckmer-Slate case we’re working on. Can you look in that big white box over there and tell me what it says?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Wait....what does a human trafficking case have to do with a corporate fraud case?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa *scrutinizing a file box filled with legal-size manila folders*:&lt;/span&gt; You’ll be surprised Anderson at how two unrelated things can add up to be the most explosive thing and the glue that ties all the pieces together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Hmmm....kinda like you and Marcus Grant, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; What? What did you say?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; You know what I’m talking about here? There’s more to the projected story between you two. You two suck the air out of a room when you’re together. I thought you and Santoni were bad, but you and Grant are far worse. Hey, I think I found the box.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa *walks over to Bryan*:&lt;/span&gt; Don’t be ridiculous Anderson. There’s no “story” between Grant and I. I knew him from the neighborhood. We went to high school together, and even back then I hated his guts. It’s no big deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Yeah right. I was there when you first went to see him, remember? You looked like you wanted to pass out or throw up. Come to think of it, you looked like you wanted to do both at the same time. I’ve never seen that look on your face other than when you’re drunk off your ass. Come on, what are you not telling me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; What I’m not telling you is that you are certifiable crazy if you think there’s anything, or was anything going on between myself and Marcus Grant. The man is a criminal. Call me crazy, but somehow I don’t see how a relationship would work between us, given that we’re on opposite ends of the law spectrum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; I’ve seen crazier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; I bet you have. Now lets see if we’ve got the right box. Holy crap! Look at all these folders! It’s going to take us forever to get through these.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; You cared about him didn’t you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; What? Who?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; The Easter bunny. Dammit woman! I’m talking about Grant. You cared about him back in the day, and then he did something that fucked it up. Admit it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; Drop it Anderson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; What did he do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; I said drop it. Now, can you stop yapping and start looking at these files? I’d like to get outta here by seven o’ clock tonight. They’re having that thing to celebrate Santoni’s promotion and I don’t want to be late.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; I forgot about that. You know rumor has it that he asked Julie to move in with him, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; You need to stop listening to office gossip Anderson. You should know better. Remember the one about us having sex in the stairwell at the Hyatt during the Christmas party?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan: &lt;/span&gt;Yeah...that was a good one. I was all set to let that one continue too until you ruined it by proving you weren’t even at the party. Sharon Markley was all set to let me hit it after she found out. You know I’ve been after her for a while now. Plus, she envies you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa *rolling her eyes*:&lt;/span&gt; She does not! Does she know how pathetic my life really is?&lt;br /&gt;Sharon Markley is welcomed to you. Lord knows I’ve been trying to pawn you off since you became my partner. Can you grab those two folders at the side there? I think they may be the ones we want. What does the label say?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Depositions. And I’m the best partner you’ve ever had. Not to mention the most handsome. Moyner’s a good man, but I figure he had to be to make up for the lack of looks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; You’re mean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; I’m honest. You should try it. Would save you a whole lot of time from denying that you still have feelings for Grant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; I don’t feel anything for Grant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Then you should. It would drive Santoni nuts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; Santoni is practically a married man. Didn’t you just say he and Julie were moving in together?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; I said it was a rumor. You still have time to go claim him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; I don’t want to claim him. I’ve moved on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; To Grant, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; No! What is with you today? Are you the 3D version of Match.com?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; I’m just trying to get you laid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; Please don’t. I can do that on my own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; You’re not doing a good job so far.

Go out and have some fun.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/757504247763011511-569255618352797233?l=marissachronicles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/757504247763011511/posts/default/569255618352797233'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/757504247763011511/posts/default/569255618352797233'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marissachronicles.blogspot.com/2008/06/happy-birthday-marissa.html' title='HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARISSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'/><author><name>Nicole</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14914748905781531938</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/SFe4nxJWHjI/AAAAAAAAAJs/mJDN1Pg5wHY/s72-c/happy-birthday.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757504247763011511.post-3220054024761709237</id><published>2008-06-12T11:17:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-24T15:46:52.994-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Cross-Fire</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/SFE-QUpBVoI/AAAAAAAAAJk/G5yftqxdxkA/s1600-h/crossfire.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 422px; height: 380px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/SFE-QUpBVoI/AAAAAAAAAJk/G5yftqxdxkA/s400/crossfire.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211014693983966850" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tired, hungry and in no mood to be cordial, how will Marissa deal with a late night visitor?

My allergies are kicking up today. Damn Spring!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Do you want me to go out and get you some?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; No. I bought a new box yesterday.

I know I put them in here this morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan: &lt;/span&gt;You want me to go over and ask Stephen if he has any?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;*Stares with wide eyes at Bryan*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; Are you mad? I’m not giving him any encouragement to come over here and talk to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;*Looks over at Stephen who is laughing to himself as he reads through a stack of papers on his desk*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa: &lt;/span&gt;Is it just me or does he seem crazy to you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan: &lt;/span&gt;It's just you. Compare to some of the people I've worked with at other offices, he's completely sane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;*Marissa studies Bryan thoughtfully*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;Marissa: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;Maybe you were the crazy one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan: &lt;/span&gt;Hmmm....that could be true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;*At that moment a loud sneeze erupts from Marissa*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Bless you&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;*Marissa grabs a handful of tissues from her bag and blows her nose*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; Thank you. I’m dying. My head is about to explode and my eyes feel like they have sand in them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;*Drops head dramatically on desk*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Hand over your bag and I’ll take a look.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;*Marissa clutches bag to chest*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; No! Didn’t your mother ever tell you it’s improper to look through a lady's purse?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Yeah. And? So? She also told me not to date loose women. Did you think I listened to her?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;*Marissa stares at Bryan and narrows her eyes*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; You were dropped on your head as a baby, weren’t you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Either you let me look for the medication or I go across to Stephen. Either way you’re going to end up embarrassed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; Have I ever told you how much I hate you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Repeatedly. Now what is it going to be?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;*Marissa lets out a loud, long sigh*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; Fine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;*Throws handbag at Bryan*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; I’ll take Partner Humiliation for $200 Alex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;*Bryan takes the bag and begins the search for the Claritin.*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Jesus! Can you pack any more shit in here? Sheesh! No wonder you can’t find anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; Hey! No commenting on my bag. Just focus on the allergy medicine recovery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;*Bryan holds an object up for inspection*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Is this what I think it is? Why do you have a screwdriver in your bag?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;*Marissa rolls her eyes at Bryan*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; You never know when you’re going to need that. I’ve been in situations where that would’ve come in handy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;*Bryan shakes his head sadly and goes back to rummaging in the bag*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; I don’t even want to know. Is this a roll of duct tape?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;*Holds up roll and stares at it incredulously*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Please tell me you don’t have midgets in this bag.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; Ha, ha. Very funny. Give me back my damn bag.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;*Lunges for bag*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;*Bryan holds bag up in air away from her grasp*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Not so fast missy. There’s one object in here I’m curious about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;*Marissa looks at him nervously, hoping he didn’t find the secure cell phone Marcus had given her to use when she needed to contact him. When he gave it to her she had refused vehemently, and questioned him about where he gotten such a phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His only answer was: &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 0);"&gt;“There are some things I don’t ask you about your job, and I request that you do the same about mine.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;She was about to throw the phone at him when he continued: &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51);"&gt;“I’m sure you don’t want to explain to your boss why you’re talking to the FBI’s most unprosecutable gang leader on the East Coast, and the fact that I’m not even your legal C.I.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;He had a point there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;So, she reluctantly took the phone, but kept it turned off and buried it in a zippable pocket at the bottom of her bag.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Out of sight, out of mind was the philosophy she told herself she was working with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But unfortunately the more the phone was hidden the more she thought about it. She hadn’t told anyone about the phone and she didn’t intend too. She was not even going to use the phone.&lt;br /&gt;She hoped.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now Bryan was giving her an odd look and a heavy feeling of dread was beginning to settle in her stomach.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;She watched as Bryan’s hand went deep into her bag and came out holding a roll of toilet paper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Relief flooded through her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That was close.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Seriously? You walk around with toilet paper in your handbag?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; We’re on a lot of stakeouts. You never know when nature may strike. Plus you know how weak my bladder is. I can’t do without going to the bathroom every two hours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;*Bryan puts the toilet paper back in the bag and hands Marissa the box of Claritin and a bottle of water.*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; You’re scary. And after viewing what’s in your bag I think I’ll take heed to my mother’s advice from now on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; So no more loose women?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;*Marissa pops out a tablet from the case and swallows it with a gulp of water*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; I guess so. Now I’m going to have to find looser women.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51);"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51);"&gt;And you say I'm the scary one?

Marissa here. Wow! I haven't been on this site in like.....forever.&lt;br /&gt;Sorry. But it's been crazy in our department lately. So many events happening throughout the city that need our time and efforts. It's like this every Spring, but it still takes a little getting used to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, it seems that a lot of you have been asking for pics on what my townhouse looks like. So many events have taken place there so it's only natural you guys would be curious.&lt;br /&gt;So I'm here to give you the guided tour through my humble bode.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First we start off with the building itself. Tada!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/SAeKTU24B-I/AAAAAAAAAIk/B6q7RdMbopQ/s1600-h/Marissastownhouse3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/SAeKTU24B-I/AAAAAAAAAIk/B6q7RdMbopQ/s400/Marissastownhouse3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190269160188807138" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love living here. It's so quiet and calming.It's located close to the main part of the town, and it feels like living in Manhattan if it was situated in Long Island.&lt;br /&gt;The parking lot is to the left of the picture if any of you guys were wondering where I park my Jetta when I'm home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, we move on to the front door&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/SAeKkE24B_I/AAAAAAAAAIs/7JOs80mNs4Q/s1600-h/Marissasfrontdoor.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/SAeKkE24B_I/AAAAAAAAAIs/7JOs80mNs4Q/s400/Marissasfrontdoor.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190269447951615986" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn't it nice? This is the same door Tyler always seem to pick the lock on and Marcus knocks on at odd times. The cool design is what caught my eye, and the colour just makes it even more inviting I think. Plus it was on sale. It was one of those close-out thingies.&lt;br /&gt;The plants were a gift from Mrs. Carvallo. She's such a sweetie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next we move to the living room&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/SAeKr024CAI/AAAAAAAAAI0/qGuX_oAK0gQ/s1600-h/living3room.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/SAeKr024CAI/AAAAAAAAAI0/qGuX_oAK0gQ/s400/living3room.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190269581095602178" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is one comfy couch. The four drawer side table on the right was a gift from my parents when I had first moved in. The coffee table and the lamp I found at a garage sale. Seems the couple was getting divorced and the wife didn't want any reminds of their life together. See why I'm still single?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moving on..........&lt;br /&gt;My kitchen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/SAeKyU24CBI/AAAAAAAAAI8/IWAhXWAlqLo/s1600-h/Marissaskitchen-1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/SAeKyU24CBI/AAAAAAAAAI8/IWAhXWAlqLo/s400/Marissaskitchen-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190269692764751890" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's small, but it's enough or me to cook in it....when I cook...as I'm rarely home enough. Hard to believe my mother actually cooked a Thanksgiving dinner in there. She has major skills. That's also where (on the counter top) Tyler and I had our first "encounter"&lt;br /&gt;Sigh....the good ole days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's move on shall we?&lt;br /&gt;Here's my bathroom&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/SAeK8U24CCI/AAAAAAAAAJE/Tb5pG5O4nW0/s1600-h/falconridge_condo_bathroom-1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/SAeK8U24CCI/AAAAAAAAAJE/Tb5pG5O4nW0/s400/falconridge_condo_bathroom-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190269864563443746" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is where I get ready to look like a human being. Getting up at the crack at dawn to make it into the office by 7 o'clock, whilst still trying to not look like a creature from the depths of a murky pond is a feat in and of itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, my bedroom. Disregard the sheets. I haven't had time to do laundry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/SAeLGk24CDI/AAAAAAAAAJM/USghTeGy2k0/s1600-h/bedroom_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/SAeLGk24CDI/AAAAAAAAAJM/USghTeGy2k0/s400/bedroom_1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190270040657102898" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's very cozy in there. When I get home after a long day all I want to do is fall on it and zonk out until morning. My dad gave me the painting above the bed for my birthday last year. It's a very serene landscape print. Guess he knows that I need as much serenity I can get with my crazy life and all.&lt;br /&gt;I don't have a big bed as you can see. So when Tyler slept on it with me it was a tight fit. He's a big guy. No wonder I woke up tangle up with him. Get your smutty minds out of the gutter people!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So there you have it. My home. Hope that satisfied your curious minds. Now if you'll excuse me I'm expected in an interrogation room. What I wouldn't give to be at home right now. Sigh.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/757504247763011511-2255206323125445639?l=marissachronicles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/757504247763011511/posts/default/2255206323125445639'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/757504247763011511/posts/default/2255206323125445639'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marissachronicles.blogspot.com/2008/04/tour.html' title='The Tour'/><author><name>Nicole</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14914748905781531938</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/SAeKTU24B-I/AAAAAAAAAIk/B6q7RdMbopQ/s72-c/Marissastownhouse3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757504247763011511.post-2526577534973718978</id><published>2008-03-27T12:48:00.007-04:00</published><updated>2008-11-13T11:18:40.218-05:00</updated><title type='text'>*Overheard*</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; I'm not going over there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Why not? You know you're the only one he does anything for on a timely basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; I'm not doing it. Find yourself another sacrificial lamb.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; But he likes you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; So?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; He likes you ALOT.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; Hence the reason I'm not going over there. Have you seen the way he looks at me? He's........creepy. Have you noticed the squalor he works in? No one wants to sit near him, hence the reason he's by himself at the back of the office. I've seen some disturbing things before Anderson, but nothing like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; He's just has organization issues. I'm sure if you give him a few pointers and help him clean up his cubicle he won't seem so bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; Don't make me vomit all over you Anderson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Come on Carter. Help your partner out.&lt;br /&gt;I need his help in order for me to get that report to Burger ASAP, and I can't do that without cracking these codes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; Then you go make him have a crush on you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; I'm not his type.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; *rolls eyes at Bryan*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Okay, how about this? I'll buy you coffee for a week if you do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; Make it a month, and throw in two dinners at Rare and you've got yourself a deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; *lets out loud sigh* Woman you drive a hard bargain. How about coffee for a month and two meals at Applebees?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; *raises eyebrows* You want those codes like yesterday?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; *nods*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; Then I'm holding my original request.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; *drops head in hands* Okay fine. Rare it is. Now go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; Do you still have that mini bottle of vodka taped to the back of your desk?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Yeah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; Hand it over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; What for?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; Courage Anderson. I am not facing that Pig-Pen man-boy sober.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Man-boy? *chuckles* You sure have a way with vocabulary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; *stretched out hand* The bottle Anderson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt; Five minutes later.......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; *saunters up to Stephen's desk* Hey!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Stephen:&lt;/span&gt; *Spins around quickly in chair and knocks over over-flowing pencil cup* M-m-marissa.....I mean Agent Carter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/R-vt1TYnLQI/AAAAAAAAAIc/1nDYzbuZvLA/s1600-h/agentmeeting9.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/R-vt1TYnLQI/AAAAAAAAAIc/1nDYzbuZvLA/s400/agentmeeting9.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182497296212241666" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; *tries not to cringe at sight of messy desk and floor around him* Hey Stephen. I was wondering if you could help me with something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Stephen:&lt;/span&gt; *eyes open wide* Of course! What do you need? Here! Sit down.&lt;br /&gt;*removes stack of papers and a moldy sandwich from chair next to his desk*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; *vomits in mouth a little* No thanks.

Hard to tell until I'm in it. Looks like it's an Affine Cipher code. What that means is it's a combination of the shift cipher and the multiplication cipher. What we do, is we first multiply the cipher by a "multiplier." We then use a "shift." This is an....."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; Stephen!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Stephen: &lt;/span&gt;Huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; I don't need to know how you do it. I just need you to do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Stephen:&lt;/span&gt; *looks at her sheepishly* Oops....sorry. Got carried away there for a minute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; No problem. When should I come back for it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Stephen:&lt;/span&gt; You don't have to. I'll bring it to you. *graces her with a wide grin*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; *suppresses shudder* Uummm....I may not be here, but you can give it to Agent Anderson. He'll know what to do with it. Thanks by the way for doing this on such short notice. *smiles sweetly at Stephen*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Stephen:&lt;/span&gt; *smiles back, then reaches out and places hand on Marissa's arm* Anything for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; *bites down on lips to keep from shrieking, and takes a step back, dislodging  Stephen's hand* Okay then. Bye!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;Marissa hurries back to her desk, holding her arm at an awkward angle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; Eeeww! Eeeww! Eeeww!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; What happened?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; He touched me! Quick! Cut my arm off!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; What? Stop being a drama queen Carter. The boy is harmless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; *searches through desk with untouched arm* Where the hell is it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; What are you looking for?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; The can of Lysol I always keep in here. Where the hell is it?!!!! Shit! Okay. Got it! Here, spray my arm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; *shakes head at Marissa while taking can from her* You know you're overreacting right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; Shut up and spray! *Holds arm out rigidly*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; This is insane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; How about if I rub my arm up on you? *glares at him*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Are you out of your damn mind? *looking at her with wide eyes*&lt;br /&gt;             One of us has to live in order to tell the story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Marissa: &lt;/span&gt;Gee Anderson, don't let anyone tell you you're not a gentleman. Now spray the damn thing already.

Secretly I think she's still hoping that Michael and I get back together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; The Special Ops guy?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; Yeah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Hmmmm *raises hand to bartender* Can I get another scotch on the rocks?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i284/nmarfan/?action=view&amp;amp;current=pb16_013.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i284/nmarfan/pb16_013.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt;  What if he was the one Anderson? What if I fucked up the destiny of my life by not marrying him? What if he was my last chance? I'm going to be thirty-three in a few months. My eggs are not going to hold out much longer?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i284/nmarfan/?action=view&amp;amp;current=pb16_021.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i284/nmarfan/pb16_021.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Your eggs?  You're looking kind of crazy there Carter. Maybe you need another drink. Get a stronger one too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; I'm not drinking. After I made a fool of myself with Santoni I've given up the joy juice. I'm sticking to this Pepsi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Given up drinking? You need to rethink that option. Either that or start finding a good shrink from now. In our line of work one of the requirements is alcohol. It blurs the lines of the harsh, and sometimes gruesome, reality we're faced with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; I'll survive. Once I don't give up drinking coffee I'll be good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; *shrugs*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; Maybe I should just have more sex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Call Santoni. I'm sure he can hook you up. It won't be a hardship on him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; *narrows eyes* No! He's the last person I want in my vagina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i284/nmarfan/?action=view&amp;amp;current=pb16_016.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i284/nmarfan/pb16_016.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; I don't think your vagina would mind. That's your problem, you think too much. Just go with the flow It will be a win-win situation. It's not because he's with that chick from Admin is it? From what I hear it's just a casual thing with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; I don't care what's going on between them. Okay...maybe a little. But I want more than he's willing to give. I'm not into casual sex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Okay wait. You're not into a committed relationship, but yet still you don't want casual sex. That's kinda contradictory don't you think?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; I have standards Anderson. I can't just be out giving pussy away. I have my good girl reputation to protect. And I refuse to have a fuck buddy..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; *mutters* Damn. There goes my chances.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; *hits Bryan on shoulder* Watch it. Partner or not I won't hesitate to kick your ass. Plus, after hearing your dating adventures I'm surprised one of those women haven't beaten you up yet or run you over with her car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i284/nmarfan/?action=view&amp;amp;current=pb16_021.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i284/nmarfan/pb16_021.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Not my fault there's not enough of me to go around. Plus they know the deal when they agreed to sleep with me. I love women, and I refuse to settle down with just one. Funny enough it's the &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"good girls"&lt;/span&gt; like you who turn out to be the craziest ones. Why is that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; Gee, do you think it's because they thought you were a nice decent guy and not a man-whore?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i284/nmarfan/?action=view&amp;current=pb16_016.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i284/nmarfan/pb16_016.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; Man-whore? *laughs* Where do you come up with these terms? Man-whore. I kinda like it *grins*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; Good grief. *rolls eyes* See? This is why I refuse to let Santoni anywhere near my vagina. You FBI guys and your egos are unbelievable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; It's called being confident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; Really? I thought it was called being an egotistical asshole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bryan:&lt;/span&gt; *shrugs* Potatoe, potato.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i284/nmarfan/?action=view&amp;amp;current=pb16_030.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i284/nmarfan/pb16_030.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marissa:&lt;/span&gt; *shakes head*&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/757504247763011511-1607491860636531844?l=marissachronicles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/757504247763011511/posts/default/1607491860636531844'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/757504247763011511/posts/default/1607491860636531844'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marissachronicles.blogspot.com/2008/01/scenario-bryan-and-marissa-are-at-local.html' title=''/><author><name>Nicole</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14914748905781531938</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757504247763011511.post-1622984877388557866</id><published>2008-01-17T13:37:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-01-19T19:52:59.379-05:00</updated><title type='text'>**Text Message Between Tyler and Marissa**</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i284/nmarfan/?action=view&amp;amp;current=texting.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i284/nmarfan/texting.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(51,102,255); FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Scenario: &lt;?xml:namespace prefix = st1 /&gt;&lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Tyler&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; is in &lt;st1:state&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Virginia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt; stuck in traffic.

I sure did.&lt;br /&gt;Hawkins had a New Years Eve party at his place, and the gang and I had a great time. There were tons of food and the drinks were flowing. Not like I was drinking or anything. After my drunk fiasco with Tyler I kept it sober and sipped on some apple cider all night long.&lt;br /&gt;Here are some pics from that night:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/R35qBIH3xgI/AAAAAAAAAGs/LPwjMidR4zM/s1600-h/Party.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/R35qBIH3xgI/AAAAAAAAAGs/LPwjMidR4zM/s400/Party.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5151671591351338498" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/R35qcIH3xhI/AAAAAAAAAG0/5jPHAd9oceE/s1600-h/Foodpic.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/R35qcIH3xhI/AAAAAAAAAG0/5jPHAd9oceE/s400/Foodpic.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5151672055207806482" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/R35qwoH3xiI/AAAAAAAAAG8/u5Lbs9NekNY/s1600-h/newyear_08_lg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/R35qwoH3xiI/AAAAAAAAAG8/u5Lbs9NekNY/s400/newyear_08_lg.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5151672407395124770" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By then time the clock struck 12:01am Hawkins was trying to suck out the tonsils of some brunette, Newton and DeChooch were singing very off-key and slurring the words to "Auld Lang Syne", Bryan was busy with his date, a cute blond who works on Wall Street and Tyler wasn't there....much to my relief.&lt;br /&gt;Why relief you ask? Because in the spirit of the New Years madness things might have gotten out of control and I would've felt things I had no business feeling, and possibly have done things that would've later come back to bite me in my ass. &lt;br /&gt;No thanks. &lt;br /&gt;New Year, new behaviours. &lt;br /&gt;I was however ambushed by the guys later and had to fight to get away as they tried to layer me with sloppy drunk kisses and bear hugs. Sheesh....I'll be having nightmares about that for the rest of the year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tyler did however show up around 1:30am. By then I was getting ready to leave and drive Newton and his drunk self home(he passed out as soon as I started the car). Tyler wished everyone a "Happy New Year" and shook their hands. I didn't stick around for that though. Touching him, even to shake his hand, was beyond anything my nervous system could've handled at that time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, that's enough of that drama. I hope you guys have a healthy, crime-free year and I will keep you guys posted on anything exciting that goes on. I'm off to finish up some reports.&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S.A.

It's uncanny how this woman knows me. Then she sends me Tyler's zodiac description....and that one...boy...that one threw me for a loop. He's the Taurus. And yes I snickered when I read "The Tramp". I mean come on...it was so on point. And that part about long relationships...ha! Obviously not all Taurus people are like that. Right? Right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GEMINI - The Twin&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nice. &lt;br /&gt;Love is one of a kind. &lt;br /&gt;Great listeners. &lt;br /&gt;Very Good at confusing people.&lt;br /&gt;Lover not a fighter, but will still knock you out. Gemini's will not take any crap from anyone. &lt;br /&gt;Gemini's like to tell people what they should do and get offended easily. They are great at losing things and are forgetful. &lt;br /&gt;Gemini's can be very sarcastic and childish at times, and are very nosey.&lt;br /&gt;Trustworthy. Always happy. VERY Loud. Talkative. Outgoing. Very forgiving. Loves to make out. Has a beautiful smile. Generous. Strong. The most irresistable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TAURUS - The Tramp&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aggressive. Loves being in long relationships. Likes to give a good fight.&lt;br /&gt;Fight for what they want. Can be annoying at times, but for the love of attention. Extremely outgoing. Loves to help people in times of need. Good kisser. Good personality. Stubborn. A caring person. &lt;br /&gt;They can be self centered and if they want something they will do anything to get it. &lt;br /&gt;They love to sleep and can be lazy. One of a kind. Not one to mess with.

Marissa here coming to you live from a crime scene in progress. Well not really in progress.....the suspect was taken into custody over three hours ago. But Bryan and I have been processing the scene for the past two hours;gathering up our evidence and waiting on the CSI team to arrive to get their forensic evidence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a look at the pic below. That's the back of Tyler's head on the right, and that's Hawkins by the door. Don't they look intimidating? Sexy though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i284/nmarfan/FBISWATimage1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, where was I? Oh yes, Bryan and I are waiting on the CSI team. Who at this point is annoying me to no end. Like how hard is it to come pick up some lint, spray some Luminol, collect some fingerprints and swab suspicious spots? Just because they've got a "Dr." in front of their name doesn't make them kings. Grrrrrr.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bryan is telling me to calm down before we get a reprimand from Burger for unprofessional conduct. &lt;br /&gt;Do I look like I care Bryan? Look at me. Look at me. &lt;br /&gt;I've been in this filthy apartment since eight o' clock this morning. I didn't have time to get any coffee because of the early roll out for the takedown, which also meant that I didn't eat any breakfast either. Plus I think my period's coming because my stomach is cramping and I don't have any painkillers with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This day is a day from hell and now the CSI crew is late. I'm not in the mood!

According to Geisha she thinks that I should come on here from time to time to give you guys "insight" on my life. Ha! Yeah right! As if my life is even exciting. I just spent four hours staking out a suspect's house only to find out that he had gotten arrested the night before and was now holed up at Rikers on armed robbery charges. That's four wasted hours of my life that I could've been doing something meaningful and productive instead of listening to Bryan try to channel his inner Garth Brooks and see if he could implode my eardrums.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey! Look down there! It's Marcus! Asshole!&lt;br /&gt;True he's my informal informant, and yes from time to time we talk, and yes he's been over to my house a few times bearing gifts of food when I've come home late and super tired, and maybe I'm beginning to tolerate him to the extent that I don't want to smash his face in with the butt of my gun, but that doesn't change the fact that he's still a cocky bastard and I still hate his guts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bryan says that I should have a heart to heart with Marcus and tell him how I really feel. To which I had to remind him that federal agents killing civilians, even drug-dealing ones, do not bode well with the Department of Justice, and I would rather shoot Marcus in the heart. He then suggested I go see the department shrink and enroll myself in Anger Management classes...as if that would help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I just need time to get used to Marcus being back in my life. A thousand years should be enough. The good news is by that time I would be dead and hopefully if God comes down to Earth and defeats the Devil and his followers, Marcus would finally be dead too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, okay I know that was mean, but it kinda slipped out. Really. I swear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's enough of my ranting. I'm going to channel this anger into something productive. Like going down to the morgue and id a suspect suspected of being a serial rapist. It seems he picked the wrong woman this time and she sliced his dick opened like a banana. It's a must-see.&lt;br /&gt;Bryan said he's going to stay back in the office and wait until I come back. Something about preserving happy thoughts when it comes to women and his penis. Whatever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later peeps!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/757504247763011511-2786739013805439414?l=marissachronicles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/757504247763011511/posts/default/2786739013805439414'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/757504247763011511/posts/default/2786739013805439414'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marissachronicles.blogspot.com/2007/11/note-from-marissa.html' title='*A Note From Marissa*'/><author><name>Nicole</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14914748905781531938</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757504247763011511.post-4149633890607988794</id><published>2007-10-29T12:44:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-11-13T11:18:43.211-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Meet Marcus</title><content type='html'>So in the latest chapters that I uploaded I introduced a new chracter named Marcus Grant.

Can't it be about me sometimes? What about my wants and needs? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sick of feeling the way I feel about him, when I know that he couldn't even be bothered because he's all wrapped up in Julie. I'm sick of her too. I'm sick of the both of them. What the hell is so wrong with me that he couldn't have picked me over her? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All he does is waltz in my life and say things that totally contradict what he does and then leaves me to try and figure out what the hell it really is he wants from me. I mean, come on. Would it kill him to be honest just once?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My God! When did I turn into such a pathetic loser that I am sitting here whining about my non-relationship with Tyler? I'm a federal agent for Christ sake. I am respected when I walk into a room. I am feared by criminals when I come after them. Plus I am hot and gorgeous and a very sexual person. I need sex. I need gorilla sex. Hot, sweaty gorilla sexy. I want it. I deserve it. I deserve to have an orgasm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I'm not going to reserve that for Santoni. Oh no. The next man I feel even slightly attracted to I'm going to pounce on him. Pounce. I'm not going to put my life on hold waiting for a man who's chosen another woman to fire up his loins. No sirree. I'm going out there and making myself available. Men want me. Men hit on me all the damn time. I am a penis magnet.

It was alright. It was done in the kitchen of the office. Wait...let me go find a pic to post up so you can better understand the scenario.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i284/nmarfan/crime_scene_3_L.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So anyway, today's exercise was &lt;strong&gt;"Retrieving Evidence From A Body"&lt;/strong&gt;. Very informative. We learned about hair, fiber, skin and bodily fluids evidence. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's DeChooch lying down on the floor behind the table, and that's me in the white garbage bag suit with the pair of tweezers in my hand picking up a strand of hair on Choochie's sleeve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That was no easy task as he keep making faces at me and I kept losing my grip on the hair. And even though I was wearing a mask the instructor knew I was giggling furiously behind it and sternly instructed us to focus at the serious matter at hand as it can make or break our cases. &lt;br /&gt;Damn Choochie!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, the scenario was that he supposedly died of natural causes, but there could've been a possiblility that he was poisoned (the plate and cup nearby). &lt;br /&gt;An autopsy would have to solve that mystery, but for now our job was to recover physical eveidence from the crime scene to build out case on. Not an easy task when something like this happens in a heavy traffic area like a workplace kitchen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The kitchen looks great though. Most days it looks like kindergarteners live in there, but I guess for this morning's exercise they wanted to make an impression.&lt;br /&gt;I'll give it until 4pm before it looks like it usually does. That's why I eat my lunch at my desk.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/757504247763011511-7355271118910707796?l=marissachronicles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/757504247763011511/posts/default/7355271118910707796'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/757504247763011511/posts/default/7355271118910707796'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marissachronicles.blogspot.com/2007/10/note-from-marissa_08.html' title='*A Note From Marissa*'/><author><name>Nicole</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14914748905781531938</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757504247763011511.post-3609781456280207024</id><published>2007-10-04T10:32:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-11-13T11:18:43.669-05:00</updated><title type='text'>*A Note From Marissa*</title><content type='html'>Wow! This blog has improved since I was last here. Impressive.&lt;br /&gt;Ohmigod! Is that my IM with Bryan below? How embarrassing. Is nothing scared anymore?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, Bryan and I have been away on training in Virginia. Every year we have to sharpen out tactical skills, so we go to Quantico and get put through the paces all over again. &lt;br /&gt;I swear the training has gotten harder from since the last time I was there. I still have rope burns on my hands from trying to climb up that damn vertical wall. Who in the hell other than Wonder Woman could scale up that wall in two minutes? That thing was like trying to climb up Mt. Everest. Of course Bryan did it in 1 minute and 35 seconds. I hate him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then we had Ammunitions Training. Now I can shoot with the best of them, but this training range was ridiculous. Are paper targets supposed to be so small? What ever happened to the full body target? I have a pic. Take a look:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/RwT8ifQ0xdI/AAAAAAAAAE8/qj0UcwZrnR4/s1600-h/swat_oct132006_038.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/RwT8ifQ0xdI/AAAAAAAAAE8/qj0UcwZrnR4/s400/swat_oct132006_038.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5117492746037544402" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What the hell are those bottle pictures about? It was like being out in the old West when they did target practice using bottles. That's Bryan third from the left. I swear that man lives for shooting people. It was like he was back to his old mercenary ways. Eyes focused and squinty, face a blank mask, body posture rigid. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile I was struggling to carry the fifty pounds on my back while trying to control the kick-back on my MP-5. No easy task I tell you. It would've been easier trying to tackle a 250lb. guy while trying to eat ice cream on a cone than trying to carry all that shit around in 95 degree weather. My hair was soaking and plastered to my head when I took my helmet off. As if I ever had good hair karma right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I did get good marks on everything I did. As Bryan had told me as I was about to give up after shimmying in the dirt crawling under wires all day: "The pain and frustration you're feeling now is nothing compared to when you're out on the streets with a bullet in your gut and fifteen bad guys shooting at you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That right there was enough motivation for me. Having been shot I know that the reality of that pain is nothing to joke about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But now we're back in the office. I have my Dunkin Donuts coffee in my hand and a croissant on my desk. There's no heat, dirt, water, mosquitoes, bunk beds, trainers yelling in your ear or five mile runs at 6am. Life is good.&lt;br /&gt;Okay wait. Hold that thought. I see Tyler making his way over to my desk. Damn.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/757504247763011511-3609781456280207024?l=marissachronicles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/757504247763011511/posts/default/3609781456280207024'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/757504247763011511/posts/default/3609781456280207024'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marissachronicles.blogspot.com/2007/10/note-from-marissa.html' title='*A Note From Marissa*'/><author><name>Nicole</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14914748905781531938</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/RwT8ifQ0xdI/AAAAAAAAAE8/qj0UcwZrnR4/s72-c/swat_oct132006_038.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757504247763011511.post-2952819435361340725</id><published>2007-10-02T11:11:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2007-10-02T11:16:10.228-04:00</updated><title type='text'>It's Real!!!!</title><content type='html'>So people thought the email addresses to the characters were fake.

Seeing as this blog is about me and my life I thought I would check in and make sure everything is as it should be, and I wouldn't have to get any search warrants  or court orders for seizure. But so far I kinda like it.&lt;br /&gt;Hey! It even has music on here. Cool!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh my God! Shelly's on here too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Looks at pic of Tyler*&lt;br /&gt;*Shakes head*&lt;br /&gt;Why does he always have to look so damn cute all of the time? Damn him!&lt;br /&gt;Sorry. Had a momentary lapse of judgement there. Won't happen again.&lt;br /&gt;*Yeah right*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey! Look at Bryan's pic. Such a cutie. He's just as cute in person too ladies(if you were wondering. And he smells so good all of the time). And you didn't here this from me but he's not seeing anyone right now, so any of you interested can email him at BA20@federalplaza.gov.&lt;br /&gt;*Laughing to herself*&lt;br /&gt;This is going to be so much fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I gotta run. Gonna go poke around with Bryan at a warehouse in Queens. Seems like the owner has a thing for hoarding guns and ammo in his shipments of carpets. He better hope no MP5's fall on my foot when I ask to inspect his collection of jute rugs. Later peeps!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh wait! I have a couple of pictures for you guys. They were taken the day after we intercepted the ship with the container of Peng's human cargo. Bryan took the pics as I was back at the office getting chewed out by Burger for my little Wonder Woman stunt I pulled. Whatever! I saved a mother and her baby and that's all that mattered to me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got a week of administrative duty though. Which sucked as I missed out on the raid on Peng's store where they seized $200,000 in cash from a secret hidden room behind the register area and also found a printing press and computer software used to make fake documents for the people she smuggled into the country. The raid was all over the news afterwards and they kept showing the images of Hawkins and DeChooch leading a handcuffed Peng away. You know those two smug bastards loved every minute of it. They even posted up the newspaper article with the picture all over the office and the kitchen area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, Bryan's paging me like crazy. I'm gone. &lt;br /&gt;Enjoy the pics!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ynhpNGF1dYg/RvJ-vblK9zI/AAAAAAAAAD0/YE0RhkwtRsA/s1600-h/FBI1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer;

Together with her partner Danny Moyner they take on the streets of New York City.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a few quirks along the way. The first is the fact that her boyfriend, special agent Michael Brown wants to settle down and get married right when Marissa is in a place in her life that's the most exciting.&lt;br /&gt;The second is her growing attraction to the FBI's SWAT Team bad boy Tyler Santoni Jr.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tyler is very aware of the sexual tension between him and Marissa. A fact that he's been trying to ignore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having been hurt in the past Tyler is not interested in starting a relationship with Marissa as he knows she is the one person who can damage the heart he has so carefully reconstructed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can Tyler lower his defences and give Marissa a chance to love him?
