Authors note: I got the idea from a screencap from the episode "Cruise to Nowhere". Goren gets a soda and taped to the soda machine is a flyer that says 'Fun Week'. Also later on in the story, which hasn't been written yet as of now, I got the plot idea from an episode of the x files called "Detour". All rights reserved to Chris Carter. Now, this is my first fanfic EVER, I am not familar on how to put stories on this website but I will try. If you people want I will write more chapters. That is all. Thanks and enjoy.


Chapter 1: We're Going


"Fun week?" Goren took the flyer off of the coke machine and handed it to Eames as they made their way back to their desks.

"Says here, 'A week of fun.. .' Gee do ya think the name gave it away at all?" Eames raised her eyebrows at Goren; he just grabbed his coat, handed her coat to her and motioned for her to continue reading.

"Ah look," she pointed to the bottom of the paper to some fine print," 'Team Building Exercises: required for every set of partners who have been partnered between 1-5 years as a means to evaluate their ability to work as a team"

Together they walked down the darkened sidewalk towards their favorite after work hangout. Suddenly Goren stopped, Eames hadn't even noticed until Goren said her name.

"Eames." His hands in his pockets he stared down at the ground thinking.

"Yeah? Everything alright?" she turned around to face him.

"I was just thinking. . .about that flyer." he was hoping she was catching up to this thought process.

"And?" she put her hands in her pockets and waited.

"And, we have been partnered for five years right?"

"Don't remind me."

He took her comment with good humor like he always did. "So that means that we are going to be sent on this so called 'Fun Week'. Can you hand me that flyer?" he pointed to her pocket.

She took her hands out of her pockets and the folded up flyer with it, she handed it to him. He carefully read it a couple of times, then he flipped it over, the other side was blank. He looked to Eames, she just stared at him, and then he looked back at the paper.

"Ah ha. Here..." he walked over to stand next to Eames. He was pointing out a phone number at the very bottom of the page. "It says to call this for more info, so, let's call." Goren didn't move but continued to stare at Eames. She sighed, "Here..." she handed him her phone, he never could remember his and even if he did the battery was always dead.

He mouthed a quick 'thank you' as the phone rang.

"Deakins, hello?" the voice on the other end answered.

"Captain?" Goren was more than shocked.

"Goren, what is this about?" Deakins was just about out the door and he really didn't want to be on the phone, he'd rather be sitting on his ass as home. If he could just leave on time for once, he thought about this quietly to himself.

"It's about 'Fun Week' sir. I was, Eames and I, were wondering if it was required for us to participate." he waited. Meanwhile Eames had started walking again, Goren started right behind her.

"Yes, Goren, infact you are. Is that a problem?" Deakins wanted to strangle himself with the phone cord, if he could just get the hell out of there.

"No sir it's not. Would you mind if tomorrow or sometime soon you could give us some more information on it though? If it's not too much trouble. I'd like to be prepared." no getting out of this one he thought to himself. Deakins had that tone that meant business.

"Yeah sure, I'll fax you some stuff after I eat dinner tonight. Now if there's nothing else..." his finger was inching closer to the drop call button.

"No, that'll be all. Thanks Captain, have a good night." he hung up and opened the door to 'Neumann's' for Eames.

"So what's the news big guy?" Eames took off her coat and sat down at a booth; Goren followed and sat opposite her.

"We're going..." he trailed off as a waitress approached. They ordered two beers and some fries to share.

"We're going what?" Eames sipped her beer.

"We're going to kill Deakins." Goren took a big drink out of his beer and enjoyed the smile he had put on his partners face.
