A/N: Okay, here's one of the little stories I referenced in my authors note in this morning's chapter of Two Black Cadillacs. Any errors are due to my dictation app's inability to listen correctly. I still can't type. :( Hope you enjoy!

"Dr. Lightman, Dr. Foster, the DC police dropped off this case file late last night," Heidi said, holding out the file. Cal grabbed it and tossed it onto his desk.

"Thanks Heidi," Gillian said, taking a sip of her hot chocolate. Heidi left the room and Cal snatched up the folder and began to read.

"Let's go Foster, I'll brief you on the way," Cal said when he finished reading. Gillian set her hot chocolate down his desk and ducked into her office for her coat and bag.

"So, what's the case?" She asked as Cal drove.

"Woman was raped, and she identified her attacker as Kyle Thompson."

"What's the catch?" Gillian asked intrigued. There had to be one; it sounded too straight forward for there not to be.

"Kyle Thompson claims that he doesn't believe in sex."

Cal missed Gillian's moment of nervousness because he was driving.

"So we have to figure out if he's lying?" Gillian asked, although it was more of a statement than a question.

"Something like that. The police had to let him go because he passed the polygraph. There wasn't enough evidence to hold him."

"Oh."

It was a long drive to the town where Thompson lived, and there was no conversation between Cal and Gillian after that.

Gillian set up the video camera in the Thompson's living room. She talked to Thompson's wife, and their two adopted daughters about Kyle and their beliefs. Cal watched. Loker and Torres were watching the footage from the office.

Cal was unconvinced that Kyle's wife and daughters were telling the truth. Kyle himself had yet to return from work. Gillian stalled for a while asking questions about the families beliefs that her body language told Cal she knew the answer to. He didn't pay it too much attention, and pushed it to the back of his mind when the guy they came to talk to walked into the room.

After questioning Kyle for about fifteen minutes, they learned that he had a twin brother who he hadn't spoken to in years and that he was telling the truth about his beliefs.

"Do you have any pictures of your brother?" Gillian asked.

"Not many. He doesn't share our beliefs. Last I knew, he lived in California," Kyle said. He pulled a picture out of his wallet and handed it to Gillian.

"That's James," Kyle said. James didn't look at all like Kyle. Where Kyle's hair was dark and his skin tan, James was blonde and very pale. Gillian sighed, showed Cal the picture and handed it back to Kyle.

"Thank you for your time," she said.

When they got back to the car, Cal started in, just like she knew he would.

"He's got to be our guy. I must have missed something."

"We'll go back to the office and watch the tapes. I couldn't very well keep asking the same questions over and over again."

"I'm not buying their beliefs. It's a load of bull, I mean, how could anyone live..."

"Not now Cal," Gillian said. "Please."

When they returned to the office they were met by Loker and Torres.

"So, what was it like what?" Loker asked.

"Interesting," Gillian replied, "Kyle didn't seem to be lying."

"Interesting? It's ridiculous. He has to be lying. Anyone who doesn't believe in sex has to be completely off their rocker. That guy is like, my age, and he's claiming he's a virgin," Cal said, making his opinion clear.

"Completely bonkers," Loker agreed.

Gillian walked away, heading for her office and a nice chocolate bar. Cal followed her, continuing to insult Kyle Thompson's beliefs.

"Get back to work Cal," Gillian snapped when she reached office and it became clear that Cal was going to follow her inside. Before he could reply, she slammed her office door in his face.

Cal headed to the break room to get lunch wondering what had gotten Gillian so upset. He poked his head into her office half hour later, and was greeted with a,

"You're with Torres on this one. I'm busy."

He didn't dare argue, and retreated to the lab to look over the footage. He had Sandra Fraiser come in, and Torres talked to her. She seemed pretty certain that Kyle was her attacker, but he wasn't lying about his beliefs.

"Torres, finds James Thompson and bring him in."

"Why? He looks nothing like Kyle."

"Just a hunch. Do it."

Torres left the room, and Cal slumped over in his chair. Frankly, he didn't care about the case. He went over the whole day in his head and tried to figure out if he'd said something to upset Gillian. He came up with nothing, and rose from his chair to go talk to her when Torres returned with a man that looked very much like Kyle Thompson, and two police officers. The only difference Cal noticed was that he had a scar by his right ear and Kyle didn't.

"Put him in the cube," Cal said.

"Are you sure that's the right guy?" he asked.

"Positive. He was brought in by the cops for running a red light and his license was expired," Torres said.

"Looks like he isn't still in California."

Cal entered the cube.

"What's your name?"

"James Thompson."

"You know Kyle?"

"Yeah. What a loser! That guy doesn't know what he's missing."

"What is he missing?" Cal asked.

"Women."

"Did you sexually assault this woman?" Cal asked suddenly, holding up Sandra's picture.

"No. Never seen her before in my life."

Outside the cube, Torres said to Loker and the cops,

"Head nod yes, while saying no."

"And when he said he's never seen her before, he does a little shrug," Loker said.

"He doesn't believe a word he said," Torres concluded.

Cal was explaining exactly this to James as the two cops entered the cube to arrest him.

"Looks like Kyle's off the hook," Cal said as he reentered the lab.

"Torres, Loker, take care of anything else that needs to be done with this case," he snapped as he sped out of the lab. The door clicked shut on his last words, cutting them off short.
