I know this chapter is depressing, heck this whole story up until Eames gets to play heroine will be depressing. However, you asked for Bobby's view in Tremble For My Beloved, so I bring you I See Darkness, which is Tremble For My Beloved except from his viewpoint not Eames. I think this is how he would actually react in this situation which makes me want to hug him and then slap him or vice versa, but I'll leave that to Alex in a much later chapter.
Eames and I walk towards the crime scene. She won't look me straight in the eye and I know I completly deserve it. I was stupid enough to make a move on her after we'd had a few to many drinks and because she was as drunk as I was, she was stupid enough not to resist. Eventhough that was six weeks ago, she doesn't seem to have forgiven me and I don't blame her. I know I've hurt her far too many times and I don't want to cause her any more pain. As a result I plan to make this my last case, I will turn in my badge and gun and go somewhere that I can't hurt her. Right now however, I try to push my plans out of my mind and concentrate on the crime scene.
I bend down next to the corpse and begin to examine the head, "He's got a broken nose." I inform her.
She looks at the body for a moment, that famialer disgusted look that I am going to miss so much comes over her face. I have to remind myself that leaving is the only way not to hurt her. It's an act of compassion because I'll never be good enough for her. To keep myself from losing it, I return my mind to the case "Help me turn over the body."
She complies and soon we are staring at taser marks that are on the back of his neck "Look, whoever killed him tasered him first to subdue him." Eames points out.
"His skin's pruned up." I notice.
"Maybe he was submerged in water for a long time?" she suggests.
"Nope, there's no petechial hemorraghing, if you're not convinced you can check for yourself." I assure her.
"No thanks, I just ate."
I laugh because I sense that that's the reaction she's expecting, but it's a half hearted laugh which she doesn't appear to notice.
That's when she freezes up looking at the victim's face. She looks distant and terrified at the same time.
