Hi! It's me again!
Hope you'll like my new story- it's gonna be really short, not more then 5 chapters:)
As always: I apologize for any and all mistakes in grammar and/or spelling I've made:)

If circumstances had been different his early arrive at the bullpen would have prompted smiles on Sue and Lucy's faces and an sarcastic comment from Myles. If circumstances had been different he would have answered Myles jokingly while winking knowingly at girls. If only circumstances had been different it could have been a very beautiful day.
Bobby pondered in silence fixing his eyes on a cup full of cold coffee. Actually he didn't even know why he had brewed himself one since for over two weeks he had no trouble at all with the exaggerated sleepiness
As if I live on on the autopilot, getting up, making coffee going to the office returning home he thought not noticing that he's friends started to fill up the bullpen.
„ At what time did he come today?" Sue asked Lucy gazing with anxiety at the sitting agent.
„ Peter said that he had appeared about 5 am" Lucy turned her head "I thought that with time it would be better but I'm starting to think that it's only getting worse "
Jack, listening to their conversation had to agree. With every day passing by Bobby looked more and more ill. His clothes were wrinkled as if he's sleeping in them, but his eyes clearly provided that he wasn't sleeping at all . His humorous smile and playful comments disappeared altogether. It seemed as if the Bobby they had known disappeared only to be replaced by somebody completely different . He was turning them off more and more. Sometimes he ignored their calling to the point that it was necessary to shake him in order to gain his attention. And in their line of work the lack of the concentration meant certain death.
D, whose thoughts whet in the same directions as Jack's came up.
„ Garret's giving him some time off, to gain a little distance"
Jack shook his head in a protest " You can't! Just look at him! This work is the only thing that keeps him alive !
D frowned
" Jack, you have to understand, we can't risk, right now he's only a threat both for himself and for the others!" D stated severely and then added more gently seeing genuine concern written all over Jack's face " I also worry about him but maybe a change of scenery will help. "
Jack clenched his jaw and in silence observed Garret's secretary passing Bobby a message that Garret wants to see him. Perhaps D was right, perhaps the change was what Bobby really needed at the moment.
Bobby got up from the chair with a sigh. He sensed what was happening, he wasn't blind, he knew that in his state he was no use at work. It's been only a matter of time before somebody kick him out . Bobby passed Jack with his head down and left the bullpen without a word.
„ Jack, he looks... " Sue whispered her voice trembling
" He looks like zombie" Jack completed sadly watching his leaving friend.
Bobby sat in his car not knowing where to go. Garret gave him time off.
Two weeks. Two weeks for shaking off.
Bobby left without a word from his office and at once he directed toward the garage.
He knew that he had left his things at bullpen but he didn't have enough courage to go back there and face them all, to see their worry.
He didn't want to talk to anybody, he didn't want to see anybody, apart from only one person who wasn't there.
He tightened his hands on the steering wheel.
Tara.
He will go to Tara.
