Wow! Believe it or not, I did 2 of them with those challenges. In "The Devil Is In the Details" old Rick punched his computer and set off the smoke alarms.
Can someone tell me what a "Modern-Day Squad 51" is? Or is that the old "Emergency" show? If that's just medics, I did that too. It's actually scary.
I was just thinking whether travel drives (jump drives, etc.) can still be demagnetized. If so, I think I'll have a good one. I'll have to check with TPTB down the hallway.
But thanks for getting my brain going.

Modern Johnny and Roy thing meant paramedics being called in. Too many stories I forgot that you already did that one But maybe you could do something where Stetler's computer freezes and he tells Emmie "How could it have froze? I didn't have it in the freezer"

Too many stories I forgot that you already did that one But maybe you could do something where Stetler's computer freezes and he tells Emmie "How could it have froze? I didn't have it in the freezer" I did something similar in 'Putting on Airs." Although I've been toying with that idea. Thanks, CC. Probably be next week (ducks flying objects from LadyTaz), as I'm getting ready to make some more banners and posting another chapter on FFN.

Not Just Another Pretty Face
Ah, summertime. Hot weather, vacations, and summer interns with that light in their eyes and love on their mind. But working for a certain IAB agent takes care of that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Horatio stepped into the Miami-Dade Computer Lab.
“Miss Stockburne, I’d like you to meet Sharon Whittaker. She's a cybertechnology student with South Florida Tech, and she'll be interning with you for the month. Please make her feel welcome.”
Senior computer tech Emmie Stockburne stood up from her latest project and stuck out her hand. “Hey, Sir. Sharon? Welcome to the Miami-Dade Crime Lab. You all ready?”
The slender, perky, ponytailed young woman smiled enthusiastically and shook hands. “Oh, I sure am!" She glanced back at Horatio. "Wow! Everybody’s so nice here!”
The Lieutenant fingered his sunglasses as he turned to leave. “I’ll be going now, Ladies. Any problems, just call me.”
While preparing a brown case folder, Emmie couldn’t help but notice that Sharon’s attention was transfixed beyond the glass wall. She glanced at her student and then at the direction of her stare. “Oh” she muttered.
IAB agent Rick Stetler had just stepped off the elevator, his head tipped up in curiosity as he neared the computer lab.
“Okay Sharon. What, or who, are you checking out?”
“Who’s that?” she whispered, discreetly pointing at the lurking IAB agent.
“Him? That’s Sergeant Rick Stetler, the head of Internal Affairs.” She then leaned over to her intern. “And definitely not your type. Trust me.” Unfortunately, Emmie could tell from that lovestruck look that Sharon would need some convincing.
The perky student bit her lip and looked down, blushing. “He’s cute.” Her voice sank to a whisper. “He married? Does he have a girlfriend?”
Emmie sniffed. “Nobody will admit to it.” She put her hand up. “Hey, uh, Sharon? Trust me when I say looks are about all the guy has going for him.”
Sharon had a more determined look now. “I’d sure like to meet him.”
A wicked smile crossed the computer tech’s face. “Really? Hmmm. Tell you what, Sharon. How’s your tech support?”
The young intern shrugged. “Pretty good. Why?”
Emmie sat back and folded her arms. “How would you like to be Sergeant Stetler’s personal tech support for the week?”
Her eyes lit up. “Oh my God! You mean it?”
“Absolutely. I’ll even let you borrow my tool case, so whenever his computer breaks down or he has some tech questions, you get to talk to him or go to his office. How’s that sound?”
Sharon now blushed and giggled like a lovesick schoolgirl. “Wow. Thanks. When do I start?”
Emmie pursed her lips confidently. “He’ll be calling soon enough. He’s all yours.”
Within the hour the phone chirped. Emmie glanced at the caller ID and motioned toward it. “That’s him, Sharon. I’ll even let you handle the call.”
Sharon’s face beamed as she yanked up the handset. “Sharon Whittaker. Oh, hi Sergeant Stetler” she purred. “Yes, of course. I’ll be happy to help you. Uh, loading CD’s? Sure, just press the button on the CD drive. It’s on the front of the--. It’s that tall, black thing next to your monitor. Uh, uh, hold on. Let me talk to Emmie.” Sharon covered the mouthpiece and looked at her mentor frantically. “Emmie? He wants to know how to put CD’s in.”
Without another word, Emmie jabbed the speaker button. “Got you on speaker, Sir. What’s wrong?”
“Miss Stockburne, I got the CD drive open. How do I know which way to put the CD in?"
“Gray side down, Sir.”
“Which side is down?”
Sharon furrowed her eyebrows in disbelief. Emmie put her finger up.
“Toward the floor, Sir. Then just push the drive in gently and follow the instructions on the screen.”
“Which way does the other side go?”
Sharon perked her head up, and her face wrinkled.
Emmie smiled. “That side also faces the floor, Sir. Just call down here if you have any more problems.” She then clicked off the answer button while grinning at the dumbfounded intern. “That should keep him busy for a good half hour.”
The excited smile went away from Sharon’s face. “Oh my God. Are you serious?”
Emmie sat back and folded her arms. “Sharon, trust me. The day you realize that looks aren’t everything is gonna be one of the happiest days of your life.”
The phone chirped again within the half hour. Emmie glanced at the caller ID and then motioned for Sharon to pick it up. “What did I tell you? You can get this one, too.”
Sharon smiled. “Sergeant Stetler? Uh, hi. Got your discs loaded? Not working?” She paused nervously. “Uh, okay. Calm down, Sergeant. Tell you what. Go ahead and boot your computer.” She suddenly yanked the phone away from her ear as though she had been shocked. “What was that? No, no, Sergeant, when I said ‘boot your computer….’ Hold on again.” She put a hand over the mouthpiece. “Emmie, you’re not gonna believe this….”
She snorted. “Try me, young Grasshopper.”
The perkiness was fading fast. “Uh, well, I told him to boot his computer. So he, well, uh, kicked his computer over and now it’s not working at all! What do I do?”
Emmie groaned and looked at the ceiling. “You now get to go up to his office and fix it. Take my tool case. IAB is the third office on the left upstairs. Make sure you document it so I can get my state funding, please.”
Warily, Sharon picked up the black tool case. “Thanks.”
“If you get lost, just listen for the guy who’s cursing and screaming” Emmie yelled after her.
Emmie feverishly ran a bank search for one of Frank Tripp’s cases when she noticed her new intern creep through the door of the lab, eyes darting almost in fear. “Uh, Emmie?”
She lifted her head. “How did it go? You look like you saw a ghost.”
Sharon carefully set down the tool case. “What do I do with these?”
“Okay. What are ‘these’?”
Sharon looked around as she opened the tool case. “Well, I fixed Sergeant Stetler’s hard drive, but I think he damaged his CD’s when he kicked his computer over. So I told him to let me have his software, and I’d bring it downstairs and try to fix it.”
Emmie leaned her face on her hand expectantly. “And?”
With two fingers Sharon slowly produced a pair of crinkled black socks. “He gave me these. He told me he doesn’t wear anything softer than that.”
The computer tech wrinkled her nose. “Uh, that’s more than I needed to know in this lifetime, thanks.” She reached behind her and grabbed a plastic evidence bag. “Could’ve been worse, I suppose. Here, Sharon. Drop them in here. Antibacterial wash is in the wall dispenser.” Sharon let the socks drop into the plastic bag, and then Emmie folded the EVIDENCE tag over the top. “Definitely evidence. Criminal stupidity.”
Sharon snickered as she cleaned her hands. Then she wrinkled her face. “Is he like this all the time?”
“You have no idea, dear.”
At the day's end, Emmie was logging out and preparing everything for the night shift as Rick Stetler stepped into the lab, looking annoyed.
“Miss Stockburne! You fixed my computer yet?” he demanded.
Emmie turned around and narrowed her eyes at him. “Sir, according to the log, Sharon fixed your computer, but you didn’t give her your CD’s, so she couldn’t do anything else.”
“She asked for my software.”
The computer tech shook her head as she opened the bottom drawer of her desk and produced the evidence bag. “Wrong kind of software, Sir. And please tell me you’re not shoving your dirty laundry into the CD drive?”
Hands on hips, Rick narrowed his eyes at her. “You don’t think I’m that stupid, do you?” He then glanced around hopefully. “By the way, where is Sharon? She said she wanted to speak to me.”
Emmie shrugged with a smile. “Sorry Sir, I guess she changed her mind.”
Just then both Rick and Emmie barely caught a glimpse of Sharon walking out the door with Detective Jake Berkeley. Emmie smiled as when she noticed Rick’s scowl.
“I don’t believe this!” he growled.
“Sorry, Sir. I guess she thought you were just another pretty face. See you in the morning.”

Though I did something similar in "Just the FAX, Ma'am!", it never occured to me until now to troll YouTube for stuff! Thanks, CuteCollege! Guess I'll have to do that! Not sure why, but it doesn't surprise me in the least that somebody would do that (though I've experienced the exploding toner cartridge. NOT FUN!! ) If I can turn this one into a story, you will most definitely get the credit. Thanks!
