Alex Eames looked at the bicycle upended in the front yard of the small house. She hated working cases where kids were involved. She stood on the sidewalk an extra moment, trying to compose herself.

Bobby, not paying attention to the fact that Eames had stopped walking, crashed into the back of her. She stepped forward into the yard to catch her balance. She picked up the bike so it was leaning against the kickstand. Alex realized that it wasn't just that she hated working cases where kids were involved; sometimes she also hated not having kids of her own.


A/N: I realize I don't write about Alex much. So, I'd thought I'd give it a try...
