~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Eames woke up in her office. She looked around at all the people, but she seemed to be missing her faithful Bobby.

"What the Hell?" she said. Deakins popped his head out his office.

"Oh, you're awake now. He's down at thew school" he said. She nodded and made her way there. When she arrived, she saw Carrie talking to Sarah. She snuck closer and hid so she could hear their conversation.

"I think the plan is going to backfire" Sarah said. Carrie looked concerned.

"Why?"

"Ryan called this morning saying that hot detective was there. I think he is onto our plan" Sarah said. Carrie shrugged it off.

"Maybe you should screw that detective and get him off our backs. Just like you did the other guy who did Scott" she joked.

"Why do I have to do it?" Sarah protested. Eames couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Hey, you should be privileged! He is very sexy. Tall and dominating, just how I like them" Carrie laughed. Wasn't it fun playing with people? "Thanks for helping me get rid of Scott, the bastard." She looked pissed.

"Never mind. Those guys should have taken care of Ashlie last night. I thought she was getting annoying" Sarah said. Carrie looked at her confused.

"I got a few guys to give her an OD of heroin. I get my drugs from the same guys as her dad". Carrie understood. So did Eames. She was just about to jump out and arrest them, when she heard a male voice.

'Isn't that the detective? Where is he?" they followed the voice up to the courts, not knowing Eames was behind them. She was glad she caught all of this. They climbed the stairs and found a crying Ashlie in Goren's arms. He was talking to her, calming her down and trying to get her not to sleep. She wouldn't get up, and he was getting worried. The two girls looked surprised.

"I thought you said she was dead?" Carrie whispered. Sarah looked at her.

"Having a bit of a cuddle with your man?" Sarah yelled. Ashlie looked up. She got up onto her feet, but fell again. Goren caught her and laid her down.

"You two are in serious trouble," he said heading towards them. They turned to run, but backed away. Goren saw Eames climbing up the stairs.

"They are also under arrest for the murder of Scott Cashmore and attempted murder of Ashlie Foran" she said. The girls looked confused. "I heard the whole thing. You really should be careful where you talk," she said, handcuffing them.

"We need an ambulance and a few police cars," Goren said. He motioned towards Ashlie.

"Oh no. Bobby, she's not breathing" Eames said. Goren looked at her, realising Eames was right. He raced over and gave her CPR. She had a slight pulse, but she was weak. He scooped her up and ran down the stairs, Eames and the girls following.

The ambulance arrived and took Ashlie away, but they told Goren he couldn't come. He went back with Eames to check if his still number 1 suspect was there. He was, sure enough, with his father by his side. Deakins took them into an interrogation room. Goren thought it would be interesting to put the two girls in with them. The reaction he got was more than he could hope for.

"Ryan!" Sarah said running into his arms. Deakins left and looked on through the glass of the viewing room. Ryan let go and gave Carrie a hug when she entered the room.

"So Sarah, is this the one you slept with to get rid of Scott?" Goren said angrily, recalling the information Eames told him. Ryan stood up.

"What? You think I did it? No way! Sarah, what are you up to? Carrie? What are you all on about?" he had panic in his voice once again. "Why do you think I did it?" he argued.

"The murder took place in an alley where there were old buildings, you said you work with old buildings. Get the picture?" Goren said, putting on his secret weapon - the interrogating eyes. They never failed. Silence followed for a few minutes.

"I got him to survey the site. I did it. " Who was that? Goren snapped his eyes to the only other male voice- Jay.

"You?" he said. He nodded.

"Sarah was so sexy, and she needed a favour. Ryan was out surveying a site. I stole the maps and planned it all." Ryan looked at his father, then Sarah in disgust. Goren looked at Carrie, who looked guilty of something.

"Oh, and what about you? What did you have to do with it?" Goren asked, sitting 3 inches away from her. She didn't even look at him.

"I told Sarah to get to Ryan's dad to do it."

"Why my dad?" Ryan yelled.

"He's a cop, we thought he wouldn't be suspected" Carrie raised her voice.

Goren was getting all the info he needed with out much hassle, but he still felt impatient like they weren't telling him the most important thing. "Why did you want him killed?"

"I wanted to put him out of his misery. You know, put him down like a dog," she answered coldly. "I wanted revenge for his stolen love" Goren couldn't believe what he was hearing. That was just ridiculous. He got up out his chair, knocking it over in the process. He paced behind Carrie making her feel on edge, then leant over her.

"Well my revenge is sweeter than yours will ever be," he whispered into her ear in a threatening way. She slowly turned her head and came eye to eye. She couldn't believe the coldness in his eyes, it send shivers down her spine. He backed away and sat down again.

"And what about Ashlie? Who did your dirty work?" Eames asked. Goren was still looking at them angrily.

"Her dad's drug pals," Sarah confessed. Goren got all of them except Ryan in handcuffs and sent them away. Ryan looked devastated.

"Sorry you had to go through this" Eames said.

"I know why you suspected me," he said to Goren.

"If its ok with you, I'm going home. Mum will be wondering where I am" Eames and Goren thanked him and showed him out. Eames was surprised he took it so well. She watched him walk to the elevator, and then he broke down in tears. She felt sorry for him. It must have been hard seeing his father, the guy he looked up to, confess to murder along with his girlfriend. She looked around for Goren. "Come on, we have to go down to the hospital to check up on Ashlie" he called from their desk.

Eames and Goren waited outside her room while doctors examined her. When they were finally allowed in, the sight was devastating. She had cuts, bruises, broken bones and was hooked up to about a dozen machines. Eames looked at Goren, who was trying to hold back a tear. He slumped into a chair.

"What is it Bobby? You hardly ever cry" Eames said.

"Huh? Who's crying? There is just something about her. She has so much to deal with yet she still tries to stand strong. Actually, it reminds me of someone else I know" he said. He looked at Eames and smiled. She looked back at him with warm eyes.

"And I really do care more about you that the bird" he said. Eames giggled. She walked over to him and ruffled his hair.

"Thankyou Bobby" she said. He laughed a little. Then Ashlie woke up.

"Laughter, something I haven't heard in awhile" she said, giving a small smile. Goren looked up, amazed.

"How do you feel? I thought you'd die" he said.

"Don't speak too soon" she said softly. Goren's heart broke, and Eames looked worried.

"Don't talk like that, you know you'll be fine" he assured her.

"Ok, I won't" she said. She took hold of Goren's hand and smiled.

"Hey, I have something for you" he said, brightening up. He walked to a small black bag and pulled something out. It was a CD. He put it into a CD player and pressed play. Piano music started playing. He whizzed around with a hairbrush in hand, singing along with the song.

Ashlie smiled, so did Eames. This was a side of him she'd never seen before. He was always so serious, but now he was being comical.

"Thanks Detective Goren" she said, sounding a bit brighter.

"Just call me Bobby" he said, butting the brush down. "You get some rest now ok? See you in the morning" he said. Alex put her hand on Ashlie's for comfort. A woman's comfort never went astray. Goren grabbed his things and the two walked outside.

"I didn't know you could sing" Eames said.

"Oh, my dear Alex. I am full of secrets" he said, putting his arm around his partner and sag as they walked down the hall

Ballerina, you must have seen her

Back in the hospital Ashlie breathed deeply - then a beep sounded.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

SHOCK! HORROR!

Is Ashlie really dead? Sequel may be on the way. Should Ryan come back?
