"You let Medhurst get too close, Eames!" Detective Robert Goren yelled at his partner.

"I did not, Goren. He grabbed me before I had a chance to do anything!" Alex was pissed. She'd been held as a shield at gunpoint by a perp, Edward Medhurst. When the ordeal was over she had to be treated by paramedics for a gash on her head from being hit with the butt of the man's gun. Now when she was exhausted and just wanted to go home, Bobby was blaming her for getting herself in that situation.

Flashback

The Major Case Squad were working on a case, where mulitple banks were being robbed by the same two men. They were wearing wigs, black sunglasses and business suits. After working out a riddle which was left at one of the banks, they found out which bank was next on the perps' hit list. An undercover operation was organized.

Alex was dressed in dark blue jeans and a long sleeved black top with a stroller containing a baby doll to make it look like she was a mother. Bobby was standing at another booth pretending to be filling out forms and some other undercover police were around the place doing non-suspsicous things.

Detective Alexandra Eames was standing in the line up behind one of the suspected men, she was keeping a close eye on him while she rocked the stoller back and forth pretending to rock her 'baby' to sleep. The suspect in front of her was looking around the busy bank, nervously, like he was being watched but didn't know who was watching him. He was getting edgy.

"Back up, Eames." Eames heard Goren tell her through the microphone in her right ear but it was too late. The suspect grabbed her before she could react. Since she was so light and petite, the man managed to hold her steadily in front of him as a shield. Eames was trying to fight him while she yelled and screamed but he was over powering her.

"Let me go, you son of a bitch! Let me go!" She was squirming and kicking but it wasn't helping, if anything he was tightening his grip on her.

"Shut it, bitch!" He yelled back and quickly whacked her in the head with the butt of his pistol, effectively knocking her out from the force of the blow, before aiming it back at Goren, who had ran over with his glock aimed.

"Uh-ah. No you don't, detective." The other perp, who was in line behind Goren had his gun aimed at him, so Medhurst aimed the gun back at Alex's head as it hung limply over his arm, a trickle of blood trailing down her face from the gash at her temple.

"Let her go, Medhurst." Goren spoke up again. His hand was visibly shaking as he held his gun. He couldn't lose Alex. Just the thought of losing his partner made his stomach churn.

"No, she's quite pretty. I'm actually thinking about taking her home with me. What do you think, Kenny?" He asked his partner in crime.

"Yeah, man."

"You don't want to do that."

"And why the hell not, Detective?"

"She's very high maintenance." Goren tried to think of something to get him to let go of Alex.

An officer hidden behind a display managed to shoot Medhurst in the right leg, causing him to drop Alex's unconscious form. She landed with a thud and remaining officers managed to arrest the perps off guard.

Medhurst and Atkins were escorted out while a paramedic ran over to Alex, who was starting to regain consciousness as she lay on the dark grey carpeted flooring of the bank.

End Flashback.

She had blatantly refused to go to the hospital, insisting that she was fine. She did, however, allow the EMTs to patch up the cut on her forehead from where Medhurst's gun had struck her.

"...useless." Goren angrily mumbled but Alex still managed to hear him.

She placed her hands on her petite hips, angrily. "Excuse me?"

"You heard me, Eames. You weren't thinking in there. You were useless."

Eames nodded in pure anger. "I could have been killed and you're calling me useless."

She grabbed her coat and keys before looking over at Captain Deakins, who had emerged from his office, over hearing the commotion. "I'm going now."

Deakins nodded. "See you in the morning."

Bobby banged his hand on the desk. He hadn't meant to go off at her like that. He decided to give her an hour to calm down before going to her house to check on her and apologize to her, hoping that she would find it in her heart to forgive him.

Alex didn't want to go home just yet so she decided to go to her sister's house to see her nephew.

Eames pulled up in front of her sister's house and saw her young nephew, the little boy that she carried for nine months and gave birth to, run outside with his mother close behind to greet his loving aunt.

"Aunt Alex!" He squealed, happily as he ran up to her.

Alex closed the driver side door and squatted down with open arms, which he ran straight in to. "Hey buddy." She whispered as she stood up, with her nephew on her hip. "Hey sis." She followed her sister in to the house before setting Nathan on the floor.

"Nathan, go play while I talk to Aunt Alex."

"Ok, Mommy." He raced off in to his bedroom, making car noises on the way.

"Come sit down and tell me what happened today, Alex." The two sisters sat down on the couch.

Alex put her head in her hands and sighed before looking up at her sister.

27 Beach Crest

Rockaway

September 27th 8:11pm

Bobby pulled up out the front of his partner's house and sighed. No car, no lights turned on. No sign of life. She obviously hadn't returned home after their argument in the squad room just an hour and a half ago.

'Where could she had gone? Is she safe?' He was now out of his car in Alex's driveway, pacing back and forth. Goren was silently praying that Eames was safe because Medhurst and Atkins had allies, which could easily turn on him and Alex.

'Maybe she went to her sister's house to see her nephew.' He jumped back in to his car and started the engine again before reversing and tearing out of the driveway. Bobby was glad that he knew where her sister lived since he went there once with her.

Detective Robert Goren pulled over in front of his partner's sister's house to find that Alex's car wasn't there. He slammed his hand on the steering wheel in frustration.

'Where the hell is she?' He was about to get out of the car so he could knock on the door and ask if they had seen Alex but he was stopped by the disturbing shrill ringing of his cell phone. He looked at the caller ID. Eames cell was flashing on the front screen. Bobby opened it. "Eames? Where are you? Alex?"

All that the detective could hear was heavy, deep breathing.

"Eames? Eames?"

"Hello Detective..." A man's voice flowed through the phone.

"Where's Detective Eames? You better not have hurt her." He was beyond angry at this unnamed man with Alex's cell phone.

A/N: If I have Alex's nephew's name wrong could someone please let me know.
