I have no idea what diseases me to write this. Have to get it done by 10. That leaves me 27 minutes. Please excuse my errors. Enjoy! :)

"No mama...I know. I'm busy. Yeah...Yeah. I can't come home this Thanksgiving. Yeah...I'm sorry. I love you too mama...Bye." LaSalle laid down his phone while pinching the bridge of his nose. As soon as he looked up, he found himself staring at two pairs of expectant eyes.

"What?" He asked. Staring into her dark brown eyes.

"Work huh?" Brody challenged with sarcasm in her voice. "I thought we was free, didn't you Pride?"

"Yeah, yeah. We're free. Unless LaSalle has a planned murder that he has to solve."Pride played along.

"Yes work." LaSalle insisted as he went over to his desk and began typing on his keyboard. Brody sighed dramatically and went back to her desk and began to file their previous cases. Pride headed to the kitchen and filled up his turkey coffee mug.

A few hours later the short amount of work was finished. Brody circled around to the from of her desk and sat on the edge. "So what work are you up to?" Brody asked inincredulously.

"Uhh, office stuff" LaSalle replied, slightly annoyed.

"Office stuff?I take care of office stuff." Brody said in a matter of factly tone as she kicked her heels back and forth.

"Well, maybe it's time I take over." LaSalle countered back quickly.

"Why don't you wanna go home Chris?"

"It ain't none of your business." LaSalle said. He didn't feel like explaining the whole Case situation to her.

"Um...I think it is my business. Based on your mood and lack of communication. If we supposedly have to work, I can't trust you to have my back right now." Brody said playfully.

"Don't even start." LaSalle said coldly as Pride walked back into the room.

"Oh come on! I'm sure your brothers and sisters are dying to see you!" Brody said as she walked towards his desk.

"Oh yeah? What would you know about siblings?" LaSalle asked regretting it the moment it came out of his mouth.

Brody's mouth dropped open as she felt her stomach twist into a knot and she then quickly turned on her heel back to her desk.

"Wait Brody! I didn't mean that!" LaSalle said as he jumped up from his desk.

The female agent locked her desk drawers and grabbed her coat and headed for the door just as Pride just sat stunned at his desk watching everything unfold.

"Brody!" LaSalle. yelled

He followed her out into the parking lot and caught up with her just enough to grab her arm.

She quicky jerked away. "Get away from me." She hissed.

"Merri, I'm sorry!" LaSalle pleaded. "I didn't realize...I didn't think."

"Go to hell LaSalle." Brody snapped as she got into her car and started to drive back to her house. Her heart ached as she felt tears threatening to fall. She blinked them back and took a few deep breaths.

A few minutes later, she arrived home and sluggishly made her way inside. Her phone began to buzz as she entered the house. She looked down to see that the person calling her was LaSalle.

"Stupid son of a bitch." Brody mumbled as she threw her phone across the room and watched it impact with the wall. Her hand flew to her mouth as she felt yet another wave of tears.

Suddenly she ran to the bathroom. The emotion felt so overwhelming, as it was ripping her heart out of her chest. A gasp escaped her lips as she sank down to the side of her tub. The tears soaked her pants and she was finding it harder and harder to control them.

No one understood what it was like. No one ever will. She she felt so empty.

Forever alone.

Finished!

I never said this was going to have a happy ending. But you must understand that I just watched the NCIS episode when she(Bishop) just found out that Jake was having an affair. So now you understand where all the feels are coming from. Please review and suggest new stories! I'm kinda on a Brody/Emily's death kick right now ;)
