A/N: I don't know how funny you thought it was but I thought it was pretty
damn hilarious!

In the SUV.
"I still don't get how ended up with this assignment, anyway?" Bobby was already complaining.
"Well, basically, I oh so charmingly made him promised he would do our paper work." Alex said innocently.
"Oh that's right, you threatened him. You said that he would tell the entire floor including Mrs. Mack the rumor mill, that he sleeps with a teddy bear." A tad sarcastically. " I have to hand it to you though Alex, it really worked!"
"Course it did Bobby, what else would you expect of me?"
"I'm not going to answer that!"
"Look, just think of it as a sugar buffet. I mean Deakins is doing our paperwork, we are getting paid to investigate this, and Cherry wants us to clear this up and is paying us by sweets and said we could eat what we wanted. Surely not every single Jelly baby is a victim and milk bottles aren't evidence!"
"I'm beginning to see it your way." Goren said. " I sure hope that Medicare is going to cover out medical bills if we get diabetes."
********* Lolly Jar.
"I used to love Starburst jelly beans. They were the best. Wonder if Cherry has any?"
"Starbursts?"
"Yeah, jelly beans. I lived in Australia for about 10 years. Seriously Goren you need to get out more! The jelly beans here taste like crap. Literally."
"No I don't I work my butt off every day anyway. And have you ever tasted crap?"
"No, but I've tasted stuff that I evaluated as crap. An example being American jellybeans. I'll treat you to some day."
"Whatever". By now, Goren had switched to 'serious cop mode.' But found it to be too hard to stay too serious. It was just so funny, and every seemed so light and carefree. He voiced his opinions to Alex, who was beside him observing his changes.
"I agree. But I mean what's so dark about a dead goldfish?" Alex said.
"You're right." Bobby said. Then drifted a bit off tracks. " I wonder if Deakins would let me do an autopsy on our victim, and interrogate it physically, even though it's a, dead, b, I don't speak fish language, and c, it only has 3 second memory. So as soon as I tell the darn fish my name, it won't even remember!"
"Gross Goren!" Eames shuddered. Why am I so fond of him? She wondered. He could be sweet and kind when he wanted, but sometimes he was downright weird.
Just then, a middle aged lady walked out to them.
"Hi. You must be Bobby and Alex. I am Cherry. You work with James don't you?" With an decidedly Aussie accent.
"Yes, ma'am." Bobby said.
"Forget the formal slang ok? I am no fan of it. I am just glad James is handling this for me. You are allowed to eat as much as you want. I need some of this gone anyway!"
Alex felt right at home with this woman. She beamed and said. " Cherry, I think I'm going to like you. Not many cases feed us and tell us to, what was it." She tried to think back to her days in Australia when she was 8. " Bugger off with the slang."
"You lived in Australia, I take it at sometime or another."
"Yes, I did, how did you know I didn't just research it?" Alex asked curious.
"It takes someone who has lived in Oz, to pick up that line and use it." Cherry explained.
" Hmm. Never though of the line that way."
Bobby interjected. " So that's why you kept saying bugger through out your cases with Nicole."
"Yeah, she really hit a nerve. I'm Australian, it was actually quiet uncomfortable watching someone like that." Alex said a little sadly. " That's why I was so quiet."
"Well, we aren't here to make short talk. Let's take a look!" Bobby said.
**************** Inside Lolly Jar.
"You weren't kidding when you told us someone needed some of this gone, were you?" Bobby said, when he saw it.
"Don't worry, Goren here eats a lot."
"What is I happen to be diabetic?" Goren challenged.
"Humph! Hadn't thought of that."
"Obviously, but I'm not." Turning to the storeowner, he asked. " Cherry, would you like us to use gloves?"
"You might want to. Isn't it procedure anyway. We had to use them, or the boss usually hunted us down. It's damn hard convincing a jury that you forgot to wear gloves."
" You a copper? Let me guess, Kingsway police." Alex asked.
"You got it. The one and only!" Cherry replied.
Bobby cleared his throat. He was feeling a bit left out. He had already weighed out everything. Something bad was going to happen, but he didn't think it would be really bad. Let's see. Paperwork. Deakins. Lollies. Free, courtesy of Cherry.Glass. None, or not yet. Who would want to take the glass anyway?
"Sorry Bobby. Ok just one more question. ON a more personal note. Got any starbursts?"
"Sure. My specialty! Solve this, I'll supply them for you!"
"Deal!" Alex said happily.
~*~*~*~* Mmmm. I was stressed and low in blood sugar level, so I decided to make it go up by writing a story about lollies.
Please review. They are sweet. :D LOL
