Alex hummed to the music playing in her ears. Her heart pounded as she jogged around central park, allowing the frustration she'd built up from the last case flow out of her body.

"Alex," called a familiar voice behind her, snapping her out of her own world. She was surprised to hear the 'Alex' was from her partner in solving crimes, Goren, striding over to her in the middle of Central Park, with a brunette woman walking in line next to him. She smiled, and felt her heart flutter as she watched the tall, broad man and her heart dropped when she realised that the brunette and he, were together.

"Alex, I want you to meet Jennifer," Goren introduced them. " Jennifer this is Alex my colleague."

Colleague, Eames thought Colleague? She looked at where his arm went. Around 'Jennifer's' back. She smiled sickly sweet. Maybe a bit much with the niceness Eames girl, she thought as she noticed the puzzled expression on Gorens face.

"Pleased to meet you, "she spoke with a forced politeness.

"Hi" Jennifer said. She had a crisp accent and looked distinctly uncomfortable with Gorens arm around her.

"So when we get the rape kit back and the DNA from the semen we get the perp," Eames spoke lightly, trying to give the girl the jeepers.

She turned and ignored Eames. Hello I AM here Eames was silently screaming.

"Robert im thirsty." Jennifer said.

"Sure. We'll get a drink," Goren replied. He nodded towards Eames in a goodbye. Her stopped surprised at how accommodating Goren was with her. She was surprised at how Robert would go out with someone who seemed so conceited.

"You wanna come?" he asked her. She opened her mouth to answer.

"We'll see you later: Alex," Jennifer said harshly and turned and frog marched herself and Robert out. Stupid, ignorant cow she screamedin her headand flicked a finger at her back. She didn't normally do things like that, but it just exploded from her.

"Robert im thirsty," she mimicked, taking a drink of her water and laughed at her own joke. She looked around and blushed scarlet as she noticed a group of teenagers laughing at her, talking to herself. She ran back out the park.

She reached her apartment an hour after the 'meeting'. She'd grabbed a coffee and walked home. She threw her water bottle on the side and flumped on the sofa. She looked over at the phone and noticed the answer machine blinking. She dragged herself up and pressed play. She felt the familiar tingling sensation as she heard Gorens voice talk to her.

"Eames, you're needed right now. It's a big case." Robert said hastily. She smiled a sad smile. She knew she was going to see Goren at the expense of someones life.
