The One Who Can't Be Moved, Chapter 1.
A thin shaft of murky October sunlight poked through the crack in the pale red curtains that hung across the window overlooking the busy early morning streets of New York City. Goren moaned, opened then quickly closed his eyes again with the pain of the light burning his eyes. He rolled over clumsily poking around on his table for his ringing phone, 'Not today, it's Sunday' he mumbled to himself.
He grabbed the phone and rolled onto his back in his big empty double bed. 'Goren' He said in a very business like fashion.' Hey Bobby' said the familiarly warm tone of his partner Eames. He rubbed his eyes wearily. 'You got a case or something' he asked. 'Yeah, well sorta. There's a woman here. She hysterical, an asking for you.' Goren sat up now, not sure if he heard right. 'Me?' He said puzzled. 'Right, she's pretty all we got was her first name is Michelle' said Eames calmly. Goren felt a surge of emotion and his hand fell to his bare chest, he didn't like feeling like this. 'Michelle...' he muttered. There was a long silence 'Bobby, bobby you there?' Alex pleaded. Goren snapped back to reality. 'Yeah, yeah I'll be right there.' He said jumping out of bed, the quilt falling off the bed. Usually he wouldn't be able to stand leaving his bed messy, but this was different. He scrambled over to his big lavish wardrobe pulling out his usual black suit, pale blue shirt and red tie that was perfectly ironed and hung up. He ran to the bathroom.
Within minutes he was leaning back on his long black leather sofa trying desperately to squeeze his huge size 13's on. He succeeded and froze. He sat and stared for a moment, back in that state that usually only comes about when he is pondering blood spatter in an investigation or something.' I made a hasty decision.' He thought to himself. 'What if this Michelle wasn't the one I'm thinking of? Was it just wishful thinking?' He came back to the real world again. He got up in one swift clean motion and headed for the door.
