A/N: Alex and Bobby fluff. Alex POV. She muses on her partner in the early years. Just bored on a Saturday, because I don't have any studying to do (all my AP classes told me to take a break, which I am doing with no questions asked) and homework is completely obliterated from my schedule this weekend. Please review. Love, Lawabidingchild.
Completion
These days are what I would call...interesting. I've started working with the most eccentric man I could ever meet in my entire life. He's unconventional, irrational, and completely beside the point when it comes to getting what he wants in life as far as closing cases goes. I, however, have a more traditional approach than he does, which seems to phase him day in and day out. He seems to forget that he's working for the state government and not some sort of private investigating firm.
But maybe that's the way it's supposed to be. I mean, he's never done anything to really get himself into trouble yet. I can predict that he will in the long run. He might get fired one of these days.
But he seems to be someone that doesn't trust many people. I can respect that entirely. I haven't pushed the limit on conversation yet, but I can tell that he's uncomfortable with the simplest of small-talk. He's closed his past up to the rest of the world.
Yet he gives me a true sense of right and wrong. I used to be somewhat of a brass-kisser. I've been trying to make captain for years, to maybe make my dad really proud of me and to maybe prove something to myself. All the cops in my family were happy to see me make detective. It would be a thrill for them if I made captain.
But this partnership won't make me a captain. I knew that from the start. It's fine though. I need a sense of justice instilled in me after years of doing nothing but kissing up to the brass. This partnership instills the completion that I need in my values.
