Chapter 6
Goren was driving with reckless abandon. He was a man on a mission and heaven help anyone who got in his path. Bobby was so into his own world that he didn't notice a new song had begun. Funny thing is that at that precise moment Eames was listening to the same thing.
*****************************************************************************************
Meanwhile………
Alex was still in the tub starring at the ceiling while meditating on the song that just left her ears but not her heart. She finally ready to forgive Bobby and pick up all the shattered pieces. Slowly Alex raised herself from the, now lukewarm, confines of the bathtub and grabbed her favorite blue bath sheet and wrapped it around her body. As soon as she began to dress an unfamiliar tune began to tease her.
What is that sound Ringing in my ears,
"What are these people singing about now"
The strangest sound,
"Stranger than this song? I hope not."
I've heard for years and years,
"Lady you need help."
The sound of two hearts,
"Okay now you have my attention."
It was at that moment that bobby decided to tune into the song.
"I know a bit about two hearts. Hers and mine. Mine and hers."
Beating side by side,
"If I listen close enough I can hear his heart beating in sync to mine."
"Side by side, I wonder if Eames knows that our hearts have found the harmony that our lives seem to be lacking these days?"
The sound of one love ,
That neither one can hide ,
"I wish I wasn't the only one hiding." They simultaneously replied although they were miles apart.
The sound that makes the world go round ,
The sound that makes the world go round.
"Bobby's Heartbeat."
"Alex heartbeat."
What is that sound
Running round my head
"That would be the butterflies that have taken up residence in my belly. Those suckers are really loud to." Thought Alex.
Funny I thought,
That part was long since dead
"When Joe died my heart ceased to beat in the metaphorical sense of course, then like a pair of jumper cables to a dying battery Bobby gave me a new start."
"After multiple girlfriends leaving me I thought that I was through with love. That was before she came along and weaved her soul around mine."
But now there is, new life ,Coursing through my veins
"How I began to slowly forget Joe is a mystery even to me. Bobby brought newness to my life. I could be myself around him I don't have to hide behind suits to get respect. I don't have to be a brain like him ( not that I'm dumb mind you).
"Alex, with a single whispered word, has started the flow of life within me anew."
Because there's someone, Who makes it beat again,
"Robert O. Goren."
"Alex Eames."
The sound that makes the world go round
The sound that makes the world go round
The sound that makes the world go round
The sound that makes the world go round
"Oh Great just when I start liking this song it goes all repetitious on me like the other one."
"I bet if Alex were here she'd make some dry remark about the repetition of this song. I love her sense of humor."
What is that sound Ringing in my ears
The strangest sound I've heard for years and years
" Three years, two months, and five days have I been hearing this sound," thought Alex.
"Day one I knew I'd never be the same again," replied Bobby.
The sound of two hearts, Beating side by side
The sound of one love
That neither one can hide
"Whose trying to hide? Okay I am but if Goren were here right now, I'd show him some sounds of my own!"
"Apparently I can't hide what I feel. I remember almost beating the life out of Frank for suggesting that I take Eames to a hotel to get it out my system. I also remember him asking me if she was my wife once. It also didn't escape my notice that instead of coming to me directly about Tate's Frank instead went to her. He knew I'd bring her the stars if she would but ask for them. My mother thought she was my girlfriend and the way we flow when we go undercover is unprecedented. They all know or knew before me. Its rare that someone other than Nicole Wallace can stay one step ahead of me. Okay you know what the radio is going off." Finally after what seemed like hours, Goren reached his destination. Its now or never…………
