Same day in Australia
The sun was shining and not a cloud in the sky could be seen. 14 year old Matilda was a happy kid. She was a popular kid, lots of friends, a loving grandmother. Matilda's mother died when she was 10 years old not having a father Matilda went to live with her grandma.
Today was the first day back at school after the weekend Matilda's class was introduced with an assignment "Who are my parents and what do they do". For Matilda this assignment was going to be a challenge, she knew who her mother was and what she did before she died but Matilda had no idea who her father was or what he did Matilda decided it was time to talk to her grandma.
Matilda arrived home from school intent on asking her grandma some questions about her father. Opening the door to her house Matilda called "Grandma I am home"
"In the kitchen sweetheart" called Alice Matilda's grandmother
Walking into the kitchen Matilda greeted her grandmother with a hug and a kiss. Alice hugging Matilda asked "How was your day dear."
Matilda smiled she loved her grandma she was easy to talk to and always made her smile. Matilda told her grandma all about her day and then decided that it was time to ask her questions.
"Grandma Can I talk to you about something" Matilda said
Alice becoming concerned with the seriousness of Matilda's tone gave her granddaughter her full attention and replied "of course dear".
Sitting at the kitchen table Matilda started to talk. She said "we have this new project at school grandma called who are my parents and what do they do, I know what mum did and who she was before she died but I know nothing about my dad" pausing Matilda looked at her grandmother seeing the realization that her grandmother understood where this conversation was going Matilda continued on "who is my father grandma please tell me about him"
Alice knew what Matilda was going to ask before she even asked it. However Alice had no answers for Matilda all she could tell her was that "14 years ago your mother was engaged to a man but left him for someone else here in Australia but when she found out that she was pregnant things didn't workout between them and they split but she couldn't return to New York after the way she left so she moved back here and raised you until she died"
Matilda listened intently to her grandmother talking she asked " do you know who my father is, does he know about me" Alice sighed " no honey she never told your father about you and the only reason I know your fathers name is because it was on your birth certificate. Your fathers name is Robert Goren."

After such an open and shut case Goren figured he would nice to go out and have a few drinks. It was close to six when they finished their paper work and headed out the door for the night.
Back in Australia
Matilda headed towards the attic late that night to where her grandmother had packed all her mothers belongings after she died going through her things Matilda hoped it would tell her about her father and where she could find him. Matilda wanted to meet him and get to know what he was like. Going through her mothers things she found what looked to be her mothers diary opening it up and reading the page Matilda knew it was and this maybe her best way to find her dad.

Detective Robert Goren
One Police Plaza
New York City
Matilda smiled she now had an address of her father she at least knew he lived in New York city. Matilda only hoped that he was still there. Matilda had decided that she was going to visit her father in New York city.
One Police Plaza
Eames and Goren had gone to a small bar just around the corner from Eames apartment and were chatting with small talk over a couple of beers when they were joined by there friends Mick Logan and Caroline Berek who also where detectives at 1PP after small talk and chatter about the case they had just finished they all called it a night and headed home. Eames dropped Goren off at his apartment and headed home.
One Week Later In Australia
Matilda sat on the plane looking out the window think about her impending meeting with her father as the plane flew over the ocean Matilda began to worry what if he had other kids now, what if he didn't want a kid in his life. Tears formed in her eyes as she whispered "Please let him like me, please".
One Police Plaza
Eames and Goren sat at their desk finishing up there paper work they both were finding it difficult to concentrate and the large piles that sat in front of them didn't seem to be moving anywhere. Goren looked up at Eames and smiled he loved to sit and watch her without her knowing she didn't have her defences up caught up in his own thoughts he was startled when Eames called his name.
"Bobby" She said and got no answer.
"Bobby, Earth to Goren" finally he answered. His check turning red from embarrassment. "What's up Eames" he said when he recovered.
"What's up we have miles of paper work to do and you are day dreaming" she said with a grin. Goren got a wicked grin on his face and replied "The day dream I was having was a lot better the paper work we are doing." Before Eames could respond Deakons called from his office "Goren get in here"
On The Plane
On the plane Matilda had just woken up from were she had fallen asleep, she wondered what her father was like and if he was still a policeman. And she began to wonder just what she was going to say to him when she saw him for the first time and if he would let her be a part of his life or would he throw her on the next plane back to Australia and her grandmother. With that Matilda thought of her grandmother and the note that she left her she prayed that her grandmother could forgive her for it and understand why she did it "I am sorry grandma but I had to" she whispered to herself.
One Police Plaza
Goren came out of the captains office not looking happy. Eames looked at him and said "What was all that about" Goren replied in a tone that told her he wasn't happy about what happened in the office "I have to go to Los Angelas to help on a case there I have to leave now". Eames was not impressed "What, how long are you gone for"
"I will be gone for two weeks" he looked doem at his desk as he started picking up his stuff. Just then Deakons approached their desk.
"So he told you about it all then" he asked looking at Eames.
Goren shook his head and answered " I haven't told her everything yet I only got as far as I am needed in LA and will be gone for 2 weeks but why don't you tell her the rest" Goren glared at his captain who was shifting from one foot to the other uncomfortably he obviously wasn't happy with this. Eames looking from her partner to her captain was getting irritated that she didn't know what was happening and with gritted teeth she said "Will one of you tell me what you haven't yet told me" and with that and his eyes casted to the floor Deakons replied "You are to finish the paper work of there is enough there between the to of you that should keep you busy for the next few days and then take some time off until he comes back or more desk work I don't have any temporary patners to hook you up with while his gone" Eames shook her head and replied "What while he is in LA I am stuck he doing paperwork just great you know I think I will take the time off after this paperwork is done". The captain nodding his understanding as Eames continued "Yeah I think I might". The captain turned on his heels and headed back to his office before anything else was said or one of them decided to beat the crap out of him. Everyone knew that both Eames and Goren hated paperwork as much as they hated not working together and he had just hit Eames with both.
Goren finished packing his stuff up and Eames offered "I will give you a lift home we can pick up some take away and have lunch while you pack before you leave. Goren agreed grabbed there coats and left.
Following Day New York City Airport
Matilda stepped of the plane and looked around the airport it was big she could get lost here quiet easy she headed to get her bags and then to get a cab to 1PP. Sitting in the cab Matilda looked at the map she just brought of New York City. It was a big city and she figured as long as she was in the cab heading for 1PP she wouldn't get lost everything would be fine and once she was at 1PP and found her father she would be safe. With these thoughts she sat back in the cab relaxed and watched the streets go bye till she reached 1PP paying and stepping out of the cab she looked up at the building taking a deep breath and picking up her few back she headed inside.
Inside One Police Plaza
Eames sat at her desk and continued on with the paperwork that she was left with while Bobby was away. Since she had started that morning she had put a fair size dint in it and she swore to her self she was going to kill Goren for it when he returned. Even though it wasn't his fault and he was as annoyed about as she was she had to inflict harm on someone and he was it. Concentrating on her paperwork Eames didn't see the figure step onto the floor and talk to another officer who pointed her in the direction of her and Goren's desk she didn't notice her until she spoke.
Matilda looked at the two desk one chair empty and the other had the body of a female in it bent over writing. Matilda stood there for a shoot time nervous and not sure what to say now she was her, she finally worked up the courage to speak.
"Excuse me" she said quietly. Eames looked up at the quiet voice that had spoken to reveal a young child who looked scared and nervous, tired and had four bags hanging off her.
Eames replied to the child "Can I help you, who are you looking for". Eames noted the child became more nervous "I am looking for my father, I I I am not sure if he still works here or not" she replied stampering. Eames stood up from her chair and said to the girl "You don't know if he works here or not" "No I nev, never meet him I only know his name". Eames looked at the girl and could tell she was still scared and nervous she tried to make her feel a little at ease "Ok why don't you tell me his name and I will tell you if he still works here and if not we will look him up and find out where he works if he still a cop ok" The girl smiled and gave her a nod she was starting to relax a little she got a good feeling that she liked this lady she seemed nice and willing to help her out. With a warm smile Matilda pulled out her birth certificate and replied to Eames "His name is Robert Goren".
