The black town car pulled up in front of the steep cement curb. After stepping out of the car, Maggie could hear the clicking of her Manolo's against the pavement, despite the noisy traffic and sounds of the city during the bustling lunch hour. She found herself in the busy bullpen of the One Police Plaza and approached the blonde detective.

"Hello, Detective Eames." Said Maggie with a smile.

"Nice to see you Maggie. Bobby is in the Captain's office. He should be right out. You can have a seat at his desk while you are waiting." Offered Alex and promptly went back to the offending pile of paperwork on her desk.

As on que, Bobby and the Captain walked out deep in conversation, approaching his and Alex's desk, still unaware of Maggie's presence.

"Ms. Winters, I'm sorry you had to wait out here, I would have cleared my schedule if yo-" said Ross but was cut off by Maggie's explanation. She was used to the ass kissing brought on by her father's position.

"Captain Ross, I thank you for your hospitality but I am not here on official business. I'm here to see if I could steal away a certain detective of yours for lunch…if that's okay with you." Finished Maggie with a quick glance at Bobby.

Unaware of the young socialite's relationship with one of his seasoned detectives he regained his composure and responded, "Oh of course. Just bring him back in one piece." And with that he turned and disappeared back into his office.

"This is certainly a surprise. I thought you had an appointment today." Asked Bobby while shuffling the folders on his desk.

"I did, fortunately for me, Chris's plane was delayed which threw off the entire schedule for today, so I decided find something to fix the void in my schedule, maybe you could refer me to someone who can assist me?" Said Maggie with a twinkle in her eye.

Bobby shifted his weight uncomfortably and replied, "I would love to but wi-"

"Go, Bobby. Spend time with your girlfriend. I got this covered." Suggested Eames.

"Are you sure?" pressed Bobby

"Just go before I changed my mind." Teased Alex.

The Thai restaurant was packed, but they had managed to come across a partially secluded table. Glancing up from the menu he studied her as she scanned the long menu. He remembered the first day that he had met her. Her dirty blonde hair reached just past her shoulders, her bangs almost sweeping into her eyes. Her eyes were mesmerizing; green specked with gold framed by long curly lashes. She was tall and curvy. The brown pencil skirt made her legs go on for miles. And that button up red orange top showed just enough cleavage.

"See something you like, detective?" ventured Maggie after taking a sip of her iced green tea.

"We could still just eat at my place…I know you love my cooking." Said Bobby "Besides, I'll give you one on one attention."

He took the gleam in her eye for a 'yes', threw some money on the table, and took her hand to lead them out of the restaurant.

The car ride to Bobby's apartment was interrupted by the ringing of Maggie's cell phone.

She read the caller ID, "Sorry, babe, I have to take this."

He simply responded with a smile and squeezed her knee.

While stopped at a light, Bobby glanced over on the alley to the left and saw a man buying a newspaper at the local stand. He took a double take, and he realized it wasn't just any man, it was the very man that tried to ruin his life.
