Sims In Bloom: Generation 2 Pt. 33 (Detective Gordon Risks His Job)

Conrad couldn’t shake a strange feeling, like he wasn’t himself anymore, suddenly living an entirely different life. He was an honest cop, but he was willing to bend the rules for her.

Even Gord looked at his best friend strangely, barking as he followed him from the cruiser to Spire Tower. "I know what you're thinking," said Conrad. "But I think this is why the captain put me on the case."

Gord let out a low, cautious growl.

"I know it could just as easily put me on indefinite leave, but I can't be the cop who puts her behind bars, either."

Conrad thought back to the conversation with his captain that sent him to the coast.

"I need you for a special assignment, Gordon. Your father used to work Landgraab security, did he not?"

Conrad glanced at his hands. His dad had been dead a few years and he still missed him. "He was Chester Landgraab's head of security before they both retired."

"You knew their son, didn't you? That smarmy reporter on Simlandia National."

He shifted uncomfortably. "I knew Malcolm when we were kids, but I haven't spoken to him in at least sixteen years. Why all the questions about the Landgraabs?"

"You must've heard they were hacked."

"I expected to see a case file about it at some point."

"I got a call this morning about a lead. We're keeping this one off the books until there's solid evidence for a conviction at Nancy Landgraab's request."

Conrad chuckled. "I thought the Landgraabs loved being in the news."

"The hacker used her credentials to get into the system. Let's just say this one's personal, and I need a computer geek who can navigate the Landgraabs to handle this one before it blows back on our department somehow. You know the Landgraabs love spin."

The last thing Nancy Landgraab wanted was to give Heather a chance to court public opinion before she was hung out to dry. That alone left a bad taste in Conrad’s mouth, even before he drove to Brindleton Bay and met Heather himself.

Nancy answered when Conrad buzzed up from the lobby. He looked at the luxurious decor when he entered, patiently waiting. He used to think Spire Tower was the only place worth living in all of San Myshuno. But now the penthouse felt cold and stark, like the Landgraabs themselves. "Little Conrad Gordon, is that you all grown up?"

"It's nice to see you again, Mrs. Landgraab."

"Please, call me Nancy. I was sorry to hear about your father. He was always my father's favourite employee!"

Conrad nodded politely. "He loved his years working for your father."

Malcolm, in a glum mood, joined his mother and childhood friend in the living room. "So you became a cop?"

"Yeah, I don't really have the charisma to do the TV reporter thing."

"Nonsense. You were the most respectful of Malcolm's friends. If all his friends had been like you I might not have needed to send him to boarding school."

"Thanks, Mrs. Landgraab, but I'm not here to talk about the past. The captain sent me to Brindleton Bay this morning."

Nancy's polite smile faded to a scowl. "And? Did you come here to say that woman has been arrested?"

"Mom, what did you do?"

Nancy glared hawkishly toward her son. "I'm trying to clean up your mistakes as usual, Malcolm."

"I didn't find the evidence you need," Conrad lied. "But you know the captain keeps your investigations unofficially open until you call to close them yourself. She's still a suspect, but this all feels more like a family disagreement than a criminal investigation. She knows you stole her code."

"She is not family," insisted Nancy. "She is the woman manipulating my grandson."

"Mom, Ash can't even talk yet."

"And it's a shock you even know that, Malcolm!"

Conrad could feel the tension rising and he raised his hand to clear the air. "Listen, I'm just a detective and this case has nothing to do with me, otherwise, but you should think about whether sending his mother to prison is the best thing for your grandson."

"Please. She'd be out of the way and cease to be a bigger thorn in my side than my idiot brother," Nancy sniffed. "And we'll out-lawyer her every step of the way if she wants to charge us for stealing her code."

Malcolm threw up his arms in frustration. "Dammit, Mom. We're not pressing charges tonight, alright?" He turned to the detective. "It's nice to see you again, Conrad. Thank you for coming by. And for not filing a report."

This was a demand, not a request. Though Conrad was proper, polite, and a rule-follower by nature, he nodded in agreement. Conrad didn't want to file a report any more than he did.

With Malcolm again pulled in different directions, the young detective left him pondering what to do next. ->

"Win?" Cordelia said in response to Matthew's voice as she returned to the porch, but upon seeing Jai her face lit up. "Jai, you came." A shy smile crossed her face.

"Of course, I came. Just like I said I would." Jai turned toward her, his worry replaced with a warm smile.

"I just thought, well, I hadn't heard from you all weekend. You never called so..."

"Oh. I didn't want to crowd you after everything. I thought it would be better to not."

"Well, I wouldn't have minded. Next time, you're welcome to ask if it's OK."

"Next time I will."

"And if you wanna hear from me....you can let me know that too." "

Yeah, OK."

The cutesey flirting was almost too much for Matthew to bear. He cleared his throat. "I was certain we were meant to be walking to school, Cordelia, or is that no longer on the table?"

"Oh right." Cordelia quickly remembered. "I did say we could walk together, Matthew." Matthew smirked in response to Jai bristling from Cordie's words. "But, Jai and I were meant to walk together. Oh jeez, I made a mess of things didn't I?"

"No, you didn't." Jai interrupted.

"I asked to walk you today and you offered to walk with Matthew. So why don't we all walk together? That way, everyone wins. Isn't that right, Matt?" Jai shot him a look.

"Sure, Jimbo." Matthew shot him a pointed look back.

"Wins? Matthew was just saying that." Cordie pondered.

"Was that what that was about?"

"Oh that." Jai considered how he might explain before Matthew cut him off.

"That was simply a discussion between guys. Don't worry. It's handled."

"Oh, well, then I guess we should get going then."

"Of course." Jai agreed as he took her hand.

As they started walking together, Cordie could feel herself still being a little awkward.

She was happy that Jai actually showed up and made good on walking her, but she was still getting used to how to be his girlfriend. Their hands met not knowing how exactly to hold each other

Matthew trailed them eyeing the placement of their hands closely. He could just feel the shy tenderness between them and it took all his energy to keep tempered through it all.

"Relax, Landgraab." He told himself. He told Jai he had a shot, so now he had to actually believe that he did.

the day that teagan happened to tell johnny that she was pregnant was on the day that robbi aged into an infant. thankfully, everyone took it well (except tessa, who could not give more of a damn if she tried).

anyways ! here's robbi valentine as a toddler ! he aged up with the inquistive trait and is johnny's twin. let's hope the next baby is a redhead like teagan..

Some big little news...

Dawn and Rohan are expecting their first child! It took a few tries and some fertility massages, but they are finally on the way to expanding their little family of two into a family of three! Or could it be to a family of four?

[notelizapancakes]

college life!! woohoo!! 

[kusin-tisdag]

They eat a fantastic meal (Kristina, who is a glutton, appreciates it very much!), Una asks Amanda a bit more about Kristina ("She seems like a nice girl") and donates her old climbing gear to her daughter ("You'll use it more than I ever will again").

And then, after a game of chess with Jim, it's time to finally head home. This time by plane, because after almost a year of traveling Amanda, Kristina and Cassie can't wait to get back home again!

Nancy Landgraab

03.12.23

So I actually did a makeover of Nancy and Malcolm a while back because looking at Malcolm and Nancy physically enrages me, and I never took proper pictures of either of them rip, so here's the only pics I have of Nancy.

Malcolm will show up in the Not So Berry posts since he plays a big part in the second generation... speaking of big part

Alexander Goth

I also did a makeover of Alex when he grew up in my NSB save way back when, I tried to mix Bella and Mortys genes because there's just no way he grew up looking... like that 😭 especially with Bellas genes

anyways, he also plays a big part later on in my NSB save when I eventually post the novel that is my Not So Berry save

(at this point I was taking BIG gaps in makeovers because I was busy with NSB)

the tidal tower dormies threw a spooky day keg party! 🎃

[pamsimmerstories]

We are officialliy saying goodbye to gen 2 and starting gen 3!

Like I said before, my save was kind of broken and even with backup, i thought it was better to just transfer them to another save. That's what I did, but I was so mad that I just wanted to start "fresh". So, Mal's gen is going to start tomorrow!!

I'm so excited! HAHA

Sims In Bloom: Generation 2 Pt. 42 (Toddler Birthday Time!)

Heather threw a party at home for Ash's second birthday. But she helped him blow out the candles before guests arrived, because she didn't want anyone to take a slice before she could put candles on it!

To her disappointment, her family in Henford cancelled at the last minute. Cassandra had gone into labour and they all went with her to the hospital, but Heather had hoped to finally introduce them to Conrad.

Despite this, she focused on the guests who could make it. Holly and Kris came from San Myshuno with Mortimer and Uncle Karl, the Landgraabs showed up to celebrate, and Conrad, too.

"Conrad? What are you doing here?" wondered Malcolm. "I thought we agreed we weren't pressing charges."

The detective masked a smile. "Right. Well...Heather and I have been dating a few months now," he said.

Malcolm cocked his head sideways in surprise. "Heather didn't mention you."

"I've gathered there's a lot you two don't tell each other."

Malcolm considered this new information and raised an eyebrow. "I haven't spoken to you in over sixteen years. You show up practically out of the blue months ago to interfere in a criminal case and now you're dating my son's mother?" Conrad froze. "Sounds a little like professional misconduct, Detective."

Conrad felt his hands shake, but Malcolm's stern face melted into laughter. "I'm just joking with you, but you should see your face! I think it's cool."

Conrad wouldn't take Malcolm Landgraab simply at his word. "You're sure?"

"Yes! Seriously. Heather and I are trying to make peace and you've got a lot more in common with her than I ever did. And now I know who my son was talking about when he said his new friend was Conedd Play! He likes you, so I trust you around my son. And with that, I give you my blessing."

"That means a lot, Malcolm. Thank you."

As the party continued, Nancy found her son upstairs. "We should leave soon. Heather's sister won't stop talking about fish and she keeps trying to make me eat cake. But your father told me the news!"

Malcolm looked at his mother, confused.

"Heather and Conrad are together! Our lawyer could put her away on a technicality because she slept with the investigating detective!"

"You're not going to do that."

"Why?"

"Because I don't want you to."

"Malcolm, you don't know what you want."

"Like hell I don't! You just never stop to listen. I want you to stop your vendetta against Heather. You're not going to get San Myshuno PD to reopen the case, because if you're a danger to my son's mother, you're a danger to my son! That's your grandson - the one you want to run your company one day, remember?" Nancy scowled. "So she bested you in business and guessed your stupid password! She's a small business owner and you're a wealthy CEO. Get over it."

Malcolm's father, Geoffrey, had been listening nearby. "Your son's right, Nancy. Ash is more important than your pride. He's your legacy and you know it's true. You went to the salon this morning because you wanted to show Ash that Landgraabs always look their best. Heather invited you here for his birthday even though she didn't have to put up with you. You owe her better than this."

Nancy stuttered as her precious son and dutiful husband finally told her off, and Heather hid a satisfied smile when she left pouting. ->

Aurora was more interested in dancing with her friend than greeting and thanking all of her relatives.

[obigem]

As Jai and Cordie made their way to the maze, Matthew made his way to the exit, but before he could get very far—

"You know you could've warned me." A smirk firmly planted on his face.

"Warned you?" Dale gazed back at him curiously.

"So you joined Cordelia's club on my recommendation? Such a bold lie."

"It wasn't a lie. Your interest in her is infectious, and through that, it seemed only right to join her club. And of course I wouldn't have had I never befriended you"

"Friends?"

"Have you forgotten?"

Matthew vaguely remembered a promise of best friendship.

"Right. I guess I owe you that at least. Can't say I know many people who'd stick their neck out for me like you have. But still. You didn't have to tell her that I was leaving."

"You'd have gone if I hadn't."

"You pay a lot of attention to her because you like her, right? Well, I figured if she knew she might convince you stay."

"And why would she do that? She's not my biggest fan."

"Hmmm, I think you're wrong about that. She seemed concerned when I told her."

"I bet she likes you a lot more than you think."

Matthew clicked his tongue. "Let's say....I did like her the way you think I do. What would be the point in staying? She has a boyfriend. I can hardly tolerate seeing them together."

"Froobynoobyploob."

"What?"

"When I was really little I crafted a nonsense language. The words mean whatever I want them to."

"OK? So what does froobynoobyploob mean?"

"It means in the dimmest of darkness there's always a light. What is true today may not be true tomorrow."

"Ya know, you could've just said that."

"But froobynoobyploob is so much more concise."

"Ya know, Dale, you're very weird."

"You think, so?" Dale pondered. "So does that mean that you'll stay? She said she wanted you to, didn't she? Isn't that enough?"

"For her to look at me like that," Matthew's mind went back to the look that was on Cordelia's face, that softness, "maybe just for now, it could be. Froobynoobyploob, right?"

"That's the spirit! If you left now, I bet you'd regret it. Plus I'd miss you."

"I don't actually have many—well, any friends."

"Join the club." Matthew noticed his heart softening toward Dale. He sighed, "Nonsense words and general weirdness. This should not be working on me."

"Does that mean you're staying? Let's celebrate! We can ride the ferris wheel."

"No way!"

"The haystack maze?"

"Not a chance." He wasn't interested in running into Jairo and Cordelia again.

"How bout—"

"I'll buy you a corndog. And then we leave."

"Deal!"

"Brindleton Bay Boys" 1917

Dearest Mary,

We've landed safely overseas, but I am afraid if I say anything more specific, my letter will be victim to the censors. There's several other Brindleton Bay boys with me, and we've stuck together as a bunch. Thus far, we haven't reached the front, though we expect to have an encounter soon. We can hear the fighting getting closer every day.

But please, try not to worry about me, though I know you will. Keep me updated on the children. The five of you are what keep me looking for the end of this war, as I am determined to meet dear Irene soon. Per the triplets' request, I have written more on the tale of the children in the magic woods and included a few pages here.

Fondly and with love, Your Andrew
