Summary: She wasn't just being transferred, she was being promoted.


Yesterday, Detective Alexandra Eames had a perfectly normal career. She had been a Vice detective, walking the streets and busting johns. It was the kind of work that while not as challenging as she would have liked was normal, for a cop. And then her Lieutenant had informed her that she was being transferred. She wasn't exactly pleased with the news, but then the words Major Case had penetrated into her mind. She wasn't just being transferred, she was being promoted.

Hell, Major Case was the Holy Grail for detectives. Everyone with a gold shield wanted to be MCS just for the prestige. But, Alex was a cop at heart and she knew there was going to be a catch to her promotion. The catch's name was Detective Robert Goren.

Oh, she knew all the rumors and gossip about the wonder boy who was so weird he couldn't keep a partner longer than a year and yesterday she had learned that she would be his new partner. Once again, she wasn't exactly thrilled with the news, but Alex was a bigger person than people expected.

She had decided to set aside all the rumors about Goren being unstable and pushy and make up her own mind. She'd take a chance on him. After all, he was taking a chance on her too.
