Alex watched as Bobby looked up a number on his rolodex, and he dialed it on his phone. She was getting coffee for them, and decided to watch from the other end of the squad room to give him time to find out whatever it was that he seemed to need to find out. Watching him from afar she could tell he was in pain. Whoever it was wasn't telling him anything he wanted to hear. She was assuming he was talking to his mother, but she had no idea why he would be doing that. Just then she watched Bobby slam the phone down, pick up his coat and leave. Alex immediately called after him, "Goren! Goren? Where are you going?"
It was too late. He was already on the elevator on his way to God knows where, and she would never be able to catch up to him. She walked back to her desk, and slammed the coffee cups down. She took a peak at the rolodex hoping to find out where he called. But it had been pushed back to the front and closed. She sat down and worried. Her mind raced in millions of directions on where he could be going and why. She noticed that he had left his notebook on his desk. "Whatever it is, it's bad. He never forgets this thing," she thought. With a sigh Alex got back to work. She'd ask Bobby what was going on next time she saw him. It was probably something about his mother. She hypothesized that all of his odd behavior was about his mother. It made her feel better, and it allowed her to get back to work.
Alex sat at her desk going over the photos again. She looked up at the clock again. He was now thirty minutes late. She was getting worried. Bobby was never late. They have been partners now for two and a half years, and she had never seen him late yet. She tapped her pen on her desk. She picked up her phone and dialed his apartment again. She got his voicemail. She tried his cell phone, and she again got his voicemail. She put down the phone and looked up at the elevator again. She looked back down at the crime scene photos that were spread out all over her desk. She still had no idea why this guy was targeting hookers with drug problems. She gave a sigh, and picked up a stack of papers sitting next to her. There had to be a connection of some sort. She just had to find it. That's when the elevator opened. Relief and anger both came over her, as Bobby Goren stepped out of the elevator.
Alex got up out of her seat and walked over to him. She angrily asked, "Where have you been? Why didn't you answer your phone?"
Alex followed Bobby over to the desks. She could tell now how exhausted he was. He didn't look like he had slept at all the night before. He began to answer apologetically, "I'm-I'm sorry Eames. I had to check on something."
Alex gave a sigh. She couldn't stay mad at him. She had calmed down already, and replied, "It's OK. Just don't do it again. I was getting really worried about you. You look like hell by the way."
Bobby saw the small smile on her face when said the last comment. He smiled in return, and replied, "Thanks Eames. I was out all night looking for someone."
Alex arched her eyebrows. She looked up at him and asked, "Did you find them?"
Bobby gave a rather loud sigh before answering. He wasn't sure he wanted to explain all of this yet. He had no proof it was who he thought it was. He shook his head and replied, "No, I didn't find him. And I'm out of places to look."
Alex nodded in understanding. She asked, "Are you sure you don't want to go home and get some sleep or something? I can handle Deakins."
Bobby smiled. He was grateful for the offer, but he had to decline, "Thanks, but I'll be OK."
Alex nodded. She understood. She hesitated for a moment. She had a feeling now that whoever it was that Bobby had been looking for had to do with the case. She asked, "Who was it you were looking for?"
Bobby looked up from his paperwork, and stared right at Alex. He wasn't sure how to answer the question. He weakly replied, "A suspect."
Alex was getting annoyed with this game already. She snapped, "Right. But who?"
Bobby was surprised by her tone. He suddenly realized she had put some of it together. They looked into each other's eyes. He knew he couldn't lie to her. She needed to know what was going on. He replied, "My brother."
