Alex sighed as she raised her hand to knock on Bobby▓s door. They had not spoken to each other except to talk about cases in over a week and a half. And Alex knew it was her fault. She had yelled at him instead of listening and now she needed to fix it. She sighed again and knocked. A few seconds later, Bobby opened the door.

⌠Eames.■ Bobby said.

⌠It▓s Alec right now Bobby.■ Alex corrected. ⌠Can I come in?■

Bobby nodded. ⌠Ok Alex.■ He moved aside and let her in. ⌠You▓re not here to yell again are you?■

Alex sighed. ⌠No I came to apologize for yelling. I shouldn▓t have reacted the way I did. It wasn▓t fair to you. I should have let you explain.■

Bobby nodded and sat on his couch. He motioned for Alex to join him and she did. Bobby then wrapped his arm around Alex, surprising her.

⌠Ok so I▓ll explain.■ Bobby said. Alex nodded and rested her head on Bobby▓s shoulder. ⌠The captain and chief may have ordered me to keep you out of it but I had already planned on doing that anyway.■

Alex frowned. ⌠That▓s what I don▓t get Bobby. We▓re partners. Why would you keep me out of this?■

⌠Because I▓ve caused you enough trouble. I mean you have a mark on your jacket because of me.■ Bobby ran his free hand over his face. ⌠I didn▓t, and still don▓t, want you getting in more trouble because of me.■

Alex turned so she was completely facing Bobby.

⌠Bobby, if I didn▓t want you to get me in trouble, I would never have taken back that letter all those years ago.■ Alex said.

⌠You deserve a chance to be captain.■ Bobby said. ⌠Your family wants to see you make captain.■

Alex sighed. At the beginning of their partnership, her family made it known that she wouldn▓t make captain as Bobby▓s partner. Even with Bobby around.

⌠They use to want that. But Bobby, they▓ve gotten to know you and they know I▓m perfectly happy where I am. I don▓t want to be captain. All I want is to continue to be your partner and for us to be friends again.■ Alex said. ⌠I miss you.■

Bobby turned to Alex and saw the tears building in her eyes, even though she was fighting them. Running on instinct, which was never wrong when it came to his partner, Bobby put his arms around Alex and pulled her against his chest. Alex welcomed the embrace and rested her head just below Bobby▓s chin.

⌠I miss you too Alex.■ Bobby said. ⌠I really do.■

Monday morning at MCS found Deakins and Ross watching for Bobby and Alex.

⌠Are you sure letting them handle it on their own was a good idea?■ Ross asked.

Deakins glared at Ross. ⌠Yes I▓m sure. I know them.■

Ross held his hands up in surrender. A few minutes later they heard the elevator doors open and Alex and Bobby walked into the squad room. At first they weren▓t talking but then Bobby bumped Alex▓s arm with his own and said something that made Alex laugh. As they settled at their desks, still talking and laughing, Deakins turned back to Ross.

⌠Screw with them again Danny and I▓ll show no mercy.■ Deakins said before leaving.

Ross sighed and sat at his desk. ▒Some days, this job isn▓t worth it.▓
