Goren's feeling
Chapter one.
Goren's apartment:
Goren was at home waiting Eames to arrive, he had some troubles with his car and he needed a new one, that's why Alex told him that she was there to help. She'll be his driver for the week.
He was eating a donut filled with cream when he heard a knock at the door, after a look at the clock, he noticed that it was 6
Eames it is 6 a.m and we said 7, i'm not ready.
It was not Eames, but an elderly woman that he had never seen before. The woman was neat, small and thin, she had on a nice dress and her face was quiet.
- Excuse me i know it is only 6 in the morning but can you help me? It is a long story but i need you.
- What can i do for you? Is everything ok?Goren said with a concern look on his face.
- My son, Bennie is your neighbor and he asked me to feed his flowers, but now i have an emergency with my daughter. Can you feed the flowers for me?
- I can handle this, yes i can do that.
- Oh thank you so much, he will be back in two days. He works so hard and he knows that i'm here for him, but this time i can't help because of my daughter.
- Always ready to help said Goren.
- Thank you over and over again. Do you know my son Bennie? He said that you were a nice man and a good cop.
- Well to be honest i saw him so many times but only to say hello and have a nice day. As you said, he's busy and me too.
- He's a nice boy, no booze, no drug, Bennie is a brave son. Smart and serious said the cute little woman proudly.
- A perfect neighbor added Goren with a smile on his face.
- Mmmh yes but i can say the same thing for you, with a cop like you, they feel safe in this floor.
At 7 Alex came up, he told her about his mission and she said that it was cute to imagine him nursing some flowers.
- Very funny Eames, thank you so much.
- Oh Bobby don't get mad, it's a joke.
In the car, he was looking at her secretly.
You're a lucky man with such a patner like her. You have no idea. She's there for you. We can help each other.
She gave him a quick look and the most beautiful smile that he had never received from a woman.
1Police Plaza:
In the morning
At 7.30 the two detectives were at their desks, ready for a new tough day at the Major Case Squad. They had a very smart dealer on the loose.
Alex looked at the main entrance just to see their captain coming to them with a stern look on his face.
- Deakins is coming Bobby.
- Hello detectives, what about our case?
- Nothing captain said Eames sadly.
- We know he sells drugs and even vodka on the streets . The customers said that they saw him once or twice not more.
- What did you say? Vodka? You can find that in shops.
- Of course but not when you're a teen. This son of a bitch sells vodka to young boys and girls said Alex angrily.
- He seems to be busy Bobby explained. He has "associates" according to the customers. That means he has a job.
- And a good one captain, because he wears designers clothes Prada, Dolce Gabbana and Dior, i can't afford those brands. He aslo disguises himself, wig and hat, that kinf of stuffs.
Deakins was a little bit angry but not against his two detectives. Some criminals can be stupid but there are a lot of them who are very intelligent.
- So if i understand, we have chameleon.
- He's perfect at that game captain said Goren. He likes to change his appearance and he plays with us.
- What about the associates?
- Bobby and me are about to make up a plant to catch them.
- Well detectives in this game it is up to you now.
Goren's apartment:
8 p.m
After a hard in the streets by a cold weather trying to catch the dealer's buddies, Bobby was happy to be at home.
A pizza, a shower and then a rest.
He saw the keys that the woman had given to him this morning, they were on the table in the kitchen.
- Oh yes the flowers, i was about to forget.
When he came in the flat, he was stunned by the furnishings because everything was so beautiful and very expensive. A classy coat was on the chair after a look at the brand, revaling that it was Dior.
I did not know that i had a rich man next to me. What a beautiful flat he has. Dior? The same brand as our dealer.
Oh my God i'm in love with this apartment, focused Goren you have to feed the flowers. Where are they?
Bobby found out the flowers in Bennie's bedroom. They were white and pink or purple beautiful orchids.
Do your task Goren and go away, you're gonna be jealous with all the nice stuffs around you.
He was in the room since 5 minutes when suddenly, a bad feelings struck him, something was strange in this apartment, it was not the place where you can expecting that kind of furnishings.
If he has all this money to buy those beautiful things why he lives here? He can afford a better place.
Goren was in the cop mood, he has a bad feeling in his mind.
Not your affair Goren, but we don't know the real face of our dealer after all, it can be him, my neighbor, you never know.
At the end, the cop won against the "goren after work", plus the wardrobe's doors were half-open so he took a look inside.
What the hell... something is wrong, i was right.
In the wardrobe Bobby discoverd 30 bottles of vodka and a lack of clothes. It's was a lot of vodka for a single man. A further investigation followed and Bobby found stuck behind the wall and the wardrobe a box with some bags inside, it was drugs.
Goren use your brain, our dealer loves Dior and i saw this brand in the kitchen and now i have drugs and booze. His mom told me that he was busy and our is also a busy man. That means nothing if i don't have the associates names.
Onces in the living room, he saw anote-book on a table near the door.
The names, they match with the guys we have in custody. Our man is my neighbor i can't believe this. Eames and Deakins will be happy after my call.
Alex'sapartment:
She was on her couch eating an ice cream when he phone rang, it was Goren.
- Alex guess what?
- You leave the Major Case Squad to work in a garden?
- No, but his flowers are beautiful by the way, listen to me Alex, our dealer is my neighbor.
- What? Bennie the good boy?
- Yes his mom will be on her ass when she'll be aware of the fact that a son is a criminal. I have all the evidences Alex, he can do nothing.
- Go ahead
- I was feeding the flowers when i have had a strange feeling . In the wardrobe i discovered 30 bottles of vodka anddrugs between the wardrobe and the wall.
- What else Bobby you make me hot.
- Uh Uh In the living room, there is a note-book with the names of his associates. We won Alex. I got him.
- Well done Bobby. I can't believe this you solved a case while you were feeding some orchids. I'm just a little cop in the shadow of a good one.
- You're a good cop too Alex, we can say to Bennie that one of his associates just gave him away. Oh i forgot, the guys comes home tomorrow what about picking him up at the airport?
- Ok i call Deakins to tell him, but i'm still thinking about his mom. She'd help us to put his brave Bennie behind bars.
- Yes that's sad. Good night Alex, see you tomorrow.
- You too Bobby and you did a good job.
- Thanks.
A week after the end of the case
Alex was a little bit sad because of the case. She was feeling so little.
They were in a restaurant having a good time and on their way to the Major Case Squad, she told him everything about her feelings.
- I had a good luck Alex and you don't have to worry about that. You're a good cop, understand?
- Bobby ...
- Don't get sad for a little case like that. We have put some dangerous killers in jail and you always have been smart and wonderful on those cases.
He kissed her in the forehead.
- Come on Alex, we have a case on our desk.
They smiled to each other and came in the office.
THE END.
I know it's not perfect but i did my best. Hope you enjoy the story.
