Author's Note: I swear there will be more romance coming up. There just hasn't been much call for it lately, lol. Though I think I know where I'm going with this case wise and I think you people are going to like it. Or at least think it's clever, lol.

"His honor wasn't too pleased with us showing up," Mike Logan reported to his captain. Deakins looked stern and a little annoyed.
"He wasn't too pleased with Mike," Carolyn corrected, "He had to leave the room to get the mayor to talk. He didn't even know Gregory, apparently she didn't rank on his radar."
"And what about you?" Deakins raised an eyebrow at Mike, "How do you know her?"
Mike shrugged, "Can't tell you that. I don't think we met her during a case. And she's not exactly my type."
"Mike, you don't have a type," Carolyn snorted.
"Well, find out how she got your card because when IAB gets a wind of this, they're going to have a field day." Mike nodded as he got up from the wall he was leaning against and headed for his desk. He wanted that mystery solved too. In photo's Molly Gregory was an attractive college kid, short curly brown hair and a big smile. Mike was dead sure he'd never met her before. So, if he didn't give her his card, maybe someone else had.
"Hey, Barek, you got her address book?"
"Yeah," She walked over with the requested evidence and leaned against his desk, "You have something?"
"Maybe," He muttered, starting to flip through the pages. "Ah ha! Look, Murphy's."
"Murphy's? The bar near your apartment?" Barek leaned closer over his shoulder.
"Yeah, ten bucks, that's where she got my card. I leave them with the owner just in case his waitresses need some help."
Barek looked surprised, "That's…really nice Mike."
Mike shrugged, a little embarrassed to have his good deed revealed, "Yeah well, they sneak me free food, so it's a fair trade. It's noon, perfect time to hit a bar, don't you think?" Barek just rolled her eyes in response.
