Prompt: Old Friends

"Barek!" Carolyn looked over her shoulder to her partner's desk where he was getting to his feet, "Lab guys say they got a finger print match at the murder."
"That fast?" She asked as she got up from her desk.
"One of the techs owed me a favor," He explained, holding her jacket out to her and shifting nervously in a good imitation of Goren.
"The finger print isn't going anywhere," She said, almost having to jog to keep up with him.
"Yeah, but our perp might."

"Because of the amount of blood we had a hard time getting good prints, but we found a near perfect one on the inside of the doorframe," The tech explained, handing over a manila file. Mike snagged it and started reading.
"Hey Barek, what was the name of that friend Gregory was supposed to meet?"
"Amelia, why?" Mike turned the folder and held it open for her.
"Meet Amelia Walters, did three years for assaulting another woman in a bar with her bare hands."
Carolyn's eyes went wide as she read, "Mike, look at her current address." Mike frowned and turned the file around to read it.
"The hell?" He glared at the typed words, "That's my building."
"I'm calling for a car to pick her up," Carolyn reached into her pocket, pulled out her cell phone but before she could dial anyone Mike grabbed her hand.
"No, let's get her ourselves."
"Mike, it says right there she's unstable, if we pick her up and she says something a defense attorney's going to shred us. Let's the uniforms take her to 1PP and we'll take it from there."
"This is personal Barek." And he locked his eyes with her. She wanted to tell him no. She could tell him no, but there was something in his eyes, something she'd never seen before was reaching out to her.
"Okay, but we're going to be careful about this."
"When am I not?" He grinned and Carolyn felt her stomach flutter. That was new.
