Day 1 8:30 am MCS Immediately upon arriving to work, Eames saunters over to the coffee maker. Half expecting her partner to join her at the coffee maker she starts fixing him one. Returning to her desk; disappointment crosses her face when she is greeted by the vacant desk. Setting the coffee down, she scans the office for Goren. Negative.

8:45 am Feeling lucid from not sleeping well; Goren wonders lethargically to his desk.

"Morning" Goren says quietly.

Eames raises her head from her paperwork to reply but is taken back by her partner's hygiene. Or lack of; tousled hair, blood shot eyes and a very wrinkled shirt. "Morning.Didn't sleep well?" she replies cautiously.

Rubbing his forehead, he mutters, a "No."

Before Eames could say more, Goren continues; "The neighbors. They're kinda loud." He lied. Eames understanding; raises her hand to stop him for continuing.

From his office doorway, Deakins calls; "Goren, Eames I need to speak with you."

Both rising from their desk they head towards Deakins office.

"A new case captain?" inquires Eames.

"There's been a homicide, in the Bronx, here's the file."

"We'll get right on it." Replies Eames who has already gotten up to leave

Deakins noticed Goren's turn in behavior, and poor hygiene. Out of concern he motions for Goren to stay behind. Eames nods; "I'll be out by the car, okay Bobby." and shuts the door behind her.

"Detective. Is everything alright?"

Goren sat in silence before answering, "Everything is fine, Captain."

Deakins questioned the veracity of his answer but accepted it. "Look, if you need to take some time off, just say it."

"Thank you Captain." Was all Goren said before exiting.

Walking out to the SUV, he sees Eames sitting in the drivers seat. Goren opens the door and slides in next to her. "Ready?"

"Always."
