"Right.. What do you mean his in New York?" Goren asked leaning back against his chair, twiddling with his fingers. His eyes squinted at the Captain who stood their holding his jacket behind his back "all I can say now is that he is here. Our police squad don't know why, I was thinking maybe if you two would like to bring this up as a case and maybe investigate this 'smooth criminal', I'd like you both to find information about this person, where he lives or lived, if he has any brother or sister, marriage I don't care just find anything about him." before the Captain headed towards the elevator he glanced over his shoulders "I'll be going over to my daughters place in Los Angeles, it's a long flight from New York to there, I do hope that you two can keep the Department under control, any harm done I shall have your badges".

Goren kept a straight face, Eames rubbed her fingers through her long blonde hair and sighed and watched as the Captain was now out of their sight "great, a new case for us" she said darting the pencil in the pencil holder in front of her. Goren took a deep breath "yeah its so exciting" he spoke in irony "I just can't wait to-when do we begin?" he asked leaning forward and resting his chin on the palm of his right hand, Eames bit her lip "I don't know Detective. but I can't do it tonight" she added with a slight smile. Goren cocked an eye brow "why?" he asked gradually, Eames shook her head "I'm going out tonight on a date", Goren snorted and waved his hand around as he spoke "are you sure it's a date? It's not a conference, visiting your father or sho-"

"Detective I'll be fine, that guy is not going to ruin my night. Not when your there" she said standing up and looking at her watch. Goren looked down and at his fingers "wh-what do you mean?" he asked enquiringly. Eames sat on the desk gazing down at Goren "I want you to meet my fiancé" she replied, Goren's face suddenly turned expressionless, nothing could be described on it "fiancé" Goren dug his head into his hands "come on Goren it'll be fun" Eames spoke excitedly waving both of her arms side to side singing a tune "just you, me and my fiancé, no harm in that" she added standing up and walking to the elevator, she stopped and realised that Goren wasn't following her "what's the matter?" she asked leaning against the elevator door. Goren looked away "I just-never mind" he said opening his draw and grabbing out some paper work and placing them on his desk.

As the door on the elevator opened, Eames walked in and held the doors still so that they wouldn't close "are you sure you don't want to come, Chinese food? It'll be nice" Goren turned his chair around 10 degrees and faced her "China Town?" Goren waited for her reply "somewhere around there" she said optimistic, "I'll think about it" Goren said turning his back on her "ok if you ever change your mind it's the place where I always eat!" she shouted while the doors closed on her. Goren looked back to his paper work and then to his jacket which was hanging on a rack near his desk. Should he go or should he not??? What if that criminal came while he wasn't there??? Decisions, decisions "Damn" Goren said under his breath.

Detective Eames came out of her apartment wearing a red elegant dress, a red coat to match with and red shoes, she noticed someone standing outside of a white flashy Mercedes car, she smiled and walked up to her fiancé who wore a charming suit, his hair was short blonde yet messy in a stylish way with beautiful bright blue eyes to go with, and he had known Eames as a baby, longer then Goren had known her. Eames smile grew wider as she hugged her date and kissed him on the cheek "ready John?" she asked walking over to the passenger seat, she sat in the car, John her fiancé smiled back and sat in the driver's seat "honey I was born ready". The white car drove off and headed near China Town to one of Eames most favourite Chinese restaurants, she and John stood out and made their way to the entrance, the security guard looked at their ID's and allowed them to enter, as they got to their table number thirty four a person was already in his seat, wearing a nice suit, red tie with bright red and white strips going diagonally across it, his hair was short black and strong dark brown eyes, looking very gentle men like, he smiled at the two and placed the menu down "hi" he spoke smiling cheekily.

John, Eames boyfriend sat down beside the stranger and Eames sat next to her fiancé, making her hair stayed behind her ears "John is it? I've heard so much about you" the man shook Johns hand and underneath the table he wiped his hands together as if Eames lover has got germs and was unhygienic. Eames swallowed "ahem" the man cleared his throat and fixed his tie up "oh." he laughed softly and his eyes looked up "I'm sorry, my name is Robert Goren, did you know that I'm a Detective of the NYPD?" John looked at Eames then to the out of the ordinary man "no I didn't know" he said staring down at the white clean table cloth, Eames looked at Goren with a 'don't ruin my night look', Goren leaned back against the comfortable chair "you know you weren't what I expected." he said trying to get something out of his teeth with a tooth pick and flickering it around. John looked dismayed at Goren "uh. well. I". Eames stood up from her seat and walked over to Goren and pulled him by the ear "excuse me John I'd like to have a word with my partner, I'll be right back" she said moving Goren away from his chair and walking behind a wall across to the other side of the room.

Eames pushed Goren back hard "what are you thinking" she hissed making a shame expression, Goren looked around the corner then back to Eames "he's not your type, look at him he looks like a-a helpless person who needs a woman" Eames folded her arms together tapping her foot "he is not a helpless person, he is smart. did you know that he's a doctor and an actual surgeon?. he studied Medicine at one of the finest universities in New York!" Goren leaned his elbow against the wall "Eames-"

"Plus Goren he and I have known each other since we were babies!" she hissed again quietly making sure that no one would hear, Goren felt jealous yet watchful he had a strong feeling that this John who ever he was, was not the right person for Eames he looks more like a dog not a doctor "Detective" Eames said snapping Goren out of his thoughts, "I can leave if you like" Goren said heading out to the tables, Eames pulled him back behind the wall, John saw this. He stood up from his seat "no I don't want you to leave, I want this to be an enjoyable night for me and my fiancé, I can't have that if you keep on acting so juvenile now grow up!" Eames made her appearance and sat next to John pulling him by his jacket "sit honey" she said looking up at him.

Three hours into the night Eames, Goren and John laughed and drank from their whine glasses, Goren wiped his mouth with his napkin and placed it on his lap, his smile faded and he glimpsed at his watch keeping an eye on the time. Table number thirty four was just near a glass window and that's where they were sitting, something was peering in from the outside of the restaurant watching Goren's move and watching him swaying his fingers side to side, the eyes moved to Eames watching her making a romantic move on another guy sitting next to her which he knew it was his fiancé, the bushes rattled. Goren back inside of the restaurant looked outside and realised that the bushes were wriggling wild, Goren leaned against the glass, his hands touching it and air was seen as Goren breathed hoarsely, his eyes glinted with awareness, he spotted to eyes in the bushes his own widened, the bushes continued to rattle it looked like the person was starting to flee for his life.

Goren stood up from his seat and ran for the exit, Eames stood up "Goren!" she shouted, John turned around and faced the exit he didn't say anything he looked at the door that Goren left with a 'good riddens' look, he turned back around drinking from his whine glass and continuing to eat his meal he ordered that came ten minutes late in which Goren had teased him about it for almost an hour before he ran out. About four Gun shuts were heard and the guest in the restaurant screamed with fear, Eames told her fiancé to stay in the restaurant, she held out her gun and headed outside into the black night. Another Gun fired this time there were six shots. It sounded like it was 10 minutes away from Eames she headed towards the echoes of the Gun noise and when she made her way towards it she saw Goren kneeling down on the ground, with blood all over his jacket and on his hands she saw a body near by. Goren looked up at Eames with a horrified and also with a nervous breakdown look "I didn't do it" he cried quietly his eyes were watery, Goren saw that the body was holding something in its hands, he went to unroll the position and gulped, Eames wondered off somewhere to find more evidence, while she did this Goren looked more closely at the victim hand. five more jigsaw pieces were found covered in blood "great." he spoke restless "I only need about seven more and I should be done. How did this guy know I was here?"
