Chapter 5: Unsuitable Timing


Kate couldn’t really remember much. All she could remember was the bottom of her glass as she drowned the rest of her shot and stumbled away from the bar. Her fingers fumbled with the keys on her phone before she brought it up to her ear with a string of uncontrollable giggles flowing from her lips.

“Hello” a voice called out groggily from the other end.

“Mr. Crumpled Suit!” Kate exclaimed through her giggles.

Spencer rolled over in his bed in confusion, rubbed his fist over his eyes. He blinked a few times and shook his head as if that was going to get the sleep out of his body.

“Baby?” he questioned, sleep still heavy on his voice.

“Noooooooo” Kate snorted.

“Kate. I know your voice,” Spencer said while he turned to look at the clock on his bedside table “It's twelve thirty. What’s wrong?”

“I’ve hash lot’s to drink” the girl admitted making Spencer sigh as a smirk formed on his lips.

“Have you, now?”

“Uh-huh” she popped and Spencer found himself moving towards his closet to pull on a shirt “I don’t like alcohol, Specter”

Kate let out a long giggle.

“I just called you Specter” she laughed and Spencer smirked at the small snort that came from her lips “That’s not your name, your name is Spencer.”

“Yes, it is” Spencer stated with a small smile as he started to look for shoes.

"Specter is a guy from the series. The one who irons his suits. Not you. What was I talkin’ about?” Kate questioned.

“Suits?” Spencer question.

"No! Before that!" Kate said, stomping her foot.

"Alcohol?"

“Oh yeah!” she giggled and Spencer was graced with another snort before the girl continued “I don’t like it, Specter. It burns. It’s a good bur- oh look at that.”

Spencer bit back his laughter.

“What?” He questioned, smiling.

“I’ve lost my shoes,” Kate said making Spencer laugh out loud “How did I do that?”

“I don’t know, babe” Spencer replied honestly as he took his car keys and locked the apartment and started making his way to the parking lot.

“I mean I tied the laces in the bunny ears and everything” Kate stated, sounding very perplexed as to where her shoe had disappeared to. "You are a cop. Find my shoes" Kate stated, absolutely serious.

“I will. I promise," he said, swallowing the laugh that was trying to escape. "Hey, Kate. Katie. Come on. Katie” the man tried speaking through her giggles. He also realized that it wasn't going to happen anytime soon. 

“Can you tell me where you are?” he asked again after she finally stopped giggling. He was sitting in the car, keys in the ignition, and no idea where to go to.

“I’m at a bra” Kate broke out into laughter again, “I mean a bar-I can’t be at a bra-I’m wearing one of those.” Spencer snorted a laugh.

“Good for you”

“At least I think I am” Kate stated and Spencer listened to the ruffling of fabric “I am Spencer-I am!”

Spencer smirked at her excitement.

“Good for yo-“

“It’s a very pretty bra” Kate continued and Spencer’s head tipped towards the roof of the car.

“I’m sure it is,” he told her while running a hand over his head.

“It’s red.”

“Okay well, that’s good.” Spencer breathed “now Kate-Katie-why don’t you see what bar you’re at” Spencer replied.

“Okay” Kate responded and when she was able to piece together where she was at, Spencer pulled over in front of her within a few moments. He found her sitting out on the sidewalk. Her face lit with happiness when he pulled up beside her, watching as she drew pictures on the pavement with the contents of a water puddle.

He slowly got her to get into the car, all the while Kate tugging on his hair and giggling like a mad woman. She was soundly asleep in the backseat all the way back to Spencer's apartment.

“Tough case, huh?” he asked, knowing that he wasn't gonna get a reply. He sighed as he pulled up to a medical store to get her Advil. Boy, was she going to need that in the morning?
