More Trouble for Carolyn

As Bobby paced the floor, he got an unexpected call back from Agent Dameda.

"Bobby, you need to get a hold of your friend … this whole thing is a conspiracy. I don't really have details yet, but Barek stepped on somebody's toes and now they're setting her up. She's not investigating the missing drugs … they're buying time to plant them on her."

"That must mean that the drugs are here in New York."

"How do you figure?"

"She asked for a transfer to get Lake out and her in … it went too fast and too smoothly. That alone is a bit suspicious, don't you think?"

"How long did the transfer take?"

"A day."

"A day? It takes an act of God for the Government to take a shit for Christ sake Bobby! Get her to a safe house now! This is high up the food chain. Don't do anything else until you hear from me."

"Jose … be careful."

"That's calling the kettle black, Bobby G!"

Bobby slammed his cell phone shut. Fuck, fuck, fuck! He made the call to Mike.

"Fuck! What the hell?"

"I don't know Mike, but the more I think about it, I bet Miller saw Lynnie that night in Washington when he met with Hanson. That's when he put his plan into action to pin the missing drugs on her. She walked right into his trap by asking for the transfer."

"So you really think the drugs are here, right in our own back yard?"

"Better than that … our jurisdiction!"

"Okay, I'm going to say this to you one last time … as your friend. United we stand … divided we fall. Alex is your Partner. The last time you "divided" yourself from her, she almost shot you. We need her on this Bobby, more importantly … you need your Partner. You don't do well with out her. Clue her in."

"You just take care of you and Lynnie … I'll take care of my wife and unborn child!"

"Bobby … I get that …. Alex won't man, you know that. Don't fuck up the best thing that has ever happened to you! Listen to me man. I may not make it out of this mess alive. I'm begging you … TALK TO HER."

"Okay, I'll think about it. Now, you have got to get lost … buy two throw away cells, call me when you get to the safe house and then destroy it. Use the other only in an emergency."

"I'm going to e-mail my resignation to Ross and Moran … we'll disappear into trailer park America, ie the safe house, and you do your thing without us?

"I have Jose Dameda, remember? If I have to talk to Ross, I will and my Partner, but for now… get lost."

Bobby collapsed on his couch knowing that Alex would be home any second. He was torn. He was a husband now with a baby on the way, she wasn't just his Partner anymore but … she was his Partner. This was more complicated than he ever imagined, he certainly didn't expect to get dragged into another undercover assignment sans Alex again and he certainly didn't expect her to be pregnant with his child! He could use a session with Dr. Lovett alone.

Something is Troubling Bobby

"Honey, I'm home. Did you miss me?"

Bobby jumps up from the couch, he had downed another couple of beers while waiting and thinking. Thinking gave in to falling asleep … which he was sorely in need of due to his hormonally horny sex obsessed driven wife. It was hard keeping up the pretence of being a newlywed on vacation but yet going behind his wife's back and somewhat running an undercover operation to take down Federal Agents … he was exhausted.

"What, where … ah , yeah … missed? Yeah, yes of course I missed you … what do you think?"

"I think I woke you up. I brought us back some take out … I know it's late but I was hungry. Chinese, is that okay."

"Hmm, if that's what you and Baby Goren want. I'm not very hungry."

"Baby G wanted chicken fingers."

Bobby just turns his mouth up a bit and then takes Alex's bag from her house into the bedroom. She waited and waited in the kitchen but he never came back. She found him sound asleep on the bed. After taking a quick shower and putting on one of Bobby's Mets T-shirts she found his clothes piled up on a nearby chair and him on his side under the covers with the ac blasting. When she tried to snuggle up to him, he reached around her and pulled her close, no intimate contact, just contact. He didn't feel like making love to his wife … he was lying to her or omitting the truth or keeping her in the dark, whatever it was, he was feeling guilty … little Bobby wasn't "up to" playing. Lord knows, Alex tried.

"Hmm, I guess I really did break it."

Bobby tossed and turned all night long … he was asleep, but he must have been kicking someone's ass in his dreams and almost kicked Alex's right out of bed. This is when Detective Eames started to suspect that her partner was up to something. He was withdrawn the night before, he couldn't get it up … big give away there … and he wasn't hungry … for CHINESE! Oh shit … he's up to something and it's not good!

He finally got out of bed and went into the kitchen, a quick check to is cell found a text from Logan.

Lewis's car kick ass. Thanx man.

Okay, great, arrived and safe, now it's on me.

His phone buzzed in his hand causing him to jump. It was Dameda.

"Goren."

"Bobby G. we need to meet."

Bobby is staring out the window of his kitchen. He drops his head focusing on the drain thinking that that is where his marriage is about to go.

"Jose, I'm on my honeymoon and Alex doesn't know anything about this. I'm not sure if I can get away. The package was delivered so I need to chill for a bit."

"We don't have time for you to chill … we need to meet. Who the hell would marry you?"

"My Partner, Eames."

"Great, we could use her … she's your yang … right."

"Yeah but "yang" is pregnant. I want her out of this. It's too dangerous."

"WHAT! Who the fuck are you talking to and what are you keeping me out of now!?"

Bobby turns around to see a very pissed off Alex … no … Eames … no … Alex. This has become more complicated than they both thought.

While Bobby and Alex deal with the fall out of the undercover operation, M/C enjoy some alone time at the safe house. Ross goes ballistic. Thanks for reading! Please review ... Judeey ;)
