Major Case - One Police Plaza
Two weeks passed and Major Case was back on track. Bobby and Alex were nauseatingly close and even Ross seemed to have been bitten by the nice bug.
After the break-through of Eames's husband's murder, the brass had stopped breathing down Danny Ross's hide and left Robert Goren in peace.
One person however was still having a craptacular week. Detective Mike Logan was once again breaking in another partner.
Honestly, he was beginning to think he smelled or something. Granted he did occasionally forget to clean up after a particular nasty hangover but this just plain sucked.
Said detective was currently enjoying a lonely cup of coffee in their so-called break room, hearing beat cops bitch about who had what route and the dealing with the pros. Logan sighed and wondered if this was a special ring of hell, made especially for him. He finished his cold coffee and headed out to the pen.
Goren and Eames's Desks
Goren was making his usual broken neck motions and Eames's was smiling away. He couldn't blame her, everybody was relieved that Goren was back to annoyingly brilliant self.
'Hey, less work for me.' he thought reasonably. Mike walked over to his desk and nearly groaned out loud at the sight of his irritatingly aggressive partner.
He hadn't bothered to learn her name yet,' maybe I should start a pool of when she'll leave.' he thought to himself.
'Logan," Goren called from the other side of the desk. Logan turned and walked over to Eames's desk.
"You up for lunch?" she asked "Bobby's buying."
"What! I said I'd buy you lunch." Bobby exclaimed, staring in wonder at his partner. Eames shrugged, and looked up at Logan.
"So you want anything. We're going to the corner deli." Eames knows full well that he loves their pastrami sandwiches.
"Na, not hungry yet. Besides you two are making me lose my appetite. Any closer and Capt. Will blow a gasket." he motioned to Bobby helping Alex with her coat.
"It's called being a gentleman." Bobby replied, a slight pink tinge evident on his cheeks.
"That's it, get your own lunch," replied Eames sticking her arm in Goren's and playfully marching away, dragging the big detective with her.
Logan and Falaccis's Desks
Detective Nola Falacci took this opportunity to raise her head and noticed the brooding detective standing near her desk.
She hadn't had a chance to learn much about him, but she's heard all the rumors. He almost killed the guy who killed his first partner. Not to mention having more partners and bosses than everybody in Major Case combined.
He headed back to his desk across from hers. She flushed and got up hastily. "I don't bite. Not until I get to know a little better." he winks roguishly.
She smirked, she heard about that too, the Casanova attitude. "I'm gonna get lunch, I'll see you." grabbing her coat and purse.
Mike stared at the empty desks around him, might as well get to work. Two hours later Falacci came back with a pastrami sandwich neatly cut into diagonal and in a plastic carton with a side order of vegetables.
"He won't eat them but you can try." Eames had told her when she ordered them, but she didn't care. She had found out, her new partner could be a difficult man but she wanted to start right.
Logan was fast asleep with a manila envelope dangerously close to falling laying on his stomach. She moved it and placed the sandwich in front of him. A hastily scribbled note later, she was gone for the day.
Logan and Falaccis's Desk - 2 hours Later
Logan awoke and nearly spilled the folders spread out on his desk, 'I better get some shut eye.' he thought to himself. He packed up his cases in the wire racks and made to grab his coat when he saw the sandwich.
On the plastic carton was a sticky note that said, " Sleep Tight and Happy Birthday. Falacci." he smiled despite himself and looked over the sandwich.
"ugh…vegetables. What is it with these women." he said to himself walking out of police plaza with his sandwich and no vegetables in sight.
