Summary: It was just one more thing he over looked when working with Detective Goren.

---------

Ron Carver is a brilliant lawyer. He also happens to be the only ADA to understand the strange ways of Detective Robert Goren. He's talked with some of the ADA's who worked with Detective Goren before Major Case and finds their inability to see greatness disturbing. His colleagues, many who were in higher positions than he, had obviously missed something when working with Detective Goren.

Since taking on the eccentric and often frustrating Detective, Carver's conviction rate and risen exponentially. His cases were certainly much more interesting, and he was much more involved in them. It was oddly thrilling to be considered part of a team.

Of course, he recognized the fact that he was a third wheel in this team. It was just one more thing he over looked when working with Detective Goren. His opinion always came second to the odd detective's partner, Detective Alex Eames.

Well, he could live with being second best. After all, he wouldn't enjoy those soulful stares nearly as much as Detective Eames did.
