- I can go out... Give me my jacket.
Goren pointed at Logan's jacket.
- But...
Goren shook his head in denial.
He didn't want to hear a word.
And above all...
He wanted to run away from this hospital.
He had more important things to do.
Besides...
He had practically nothing.
It hurt a little...
But it would pass in time.
He had his ribs bandaged...
And so...
He could very well go home...
And leave this hospital as soon as possible.
Goren wanted to know how Eames was doing.
He could only remember the moment when he had held on to the attacker's hand, protecting Alex, when he had just been stabbed, and suddenly everything went black.
Logan had assured him that about Eames...
There had been mostly more fear than harm.
But Goren would only believe him when he saw it with his own eyes.
Goren couldn't stand there without seeing Eames' condition with his own eyes...
And make sure she was okay.
He also wanted to reassure her that she was in no way responsible for her injury.
He knew for a fact that she had to feel responsible.
But she hadn't done anything.
Eames had just wanted to go for a walk.
And he could understand that.
Always being locked up...
Like a bird in a cage.
And Eames wasn't a bird.
She needed air to breathe...
And be herself.
So what would be the crime in wanting to get out.
- I have to get home... Alex.
Logan smiled.
Damn it...
How stubborn Goren could be when it came to Eames.
And since Eames went blind...
He was even worse.
A real mother hen...
Covering up for her little one.
Goren was very attached to Eames long before she lost her sight. ...
But here...
This was different.
Something had changed.
Logan could feel it.
Goren didn't think of Eames as his little sister anymore...
His look at her had changed.
She had become much more to him.
But had Goren noticed it himself...
Knowing him...
It was a safe bet that it was not.
In addition...
He knew so much that Goren would not see Eames...
He would not give anything up.
Doubting that she was okay...
Until he saw her with his own eyes.
Damn it...
Logan had felt sorry for the doctor who had taken care of Goren's wound...
He had been set on fire by Goren...
When he just told him to be patient...
And to stay quiet.
Goren got angry and made the doctor understand that no matter what he told him...
He had to hurry up...
And as soon as he was done...
He would leave.
Then the doctor had turned to Logan to try to make him see reason.
But Logan knew it was a losing battle.
And he didn't insist.
Knowing the bear that he could be.
It was better not to insist.
Logan had Barek bring Eames back.
He knew that she would pay attention to Eames...
And that she would take good care of her.
Barek would try to reassure Eames about Goren.
Barek had promised Eames to stay until Goren returned.
She would wait as long as it took...
By mutual agreement with Deakins.
Just because Eames couldn't be a detective anymore, didn't mean she wasn't one of them.
Deakins thought just the opposite.
Eames would always be one of them.
He told her to take care of Eames first...
And that for the investigations...
He would get other detectives.
At the look on Goren's face, Logan resolved.
- All right... Logan handed Goren the jacket, which he took in his hand. I'll take you home.
Goren remained silent the whole way.
He had failed to protect Eames from an attack.
Goren had made the biggest mistake of all...
He had forgotten his service weapon.
For once Eames looked happy.
He couldn't tolerate that she was almost hurt again because of her unconsciousness.
Goren couldn't go on like this.
For Eames' sake...
He had to take her back to her father.
She would be better protected than with him.
What would Johnny Eames think...
He trusted her. ...
And he...
He had just shown that he wasn't worthy of that trust.
And what's more...
He had broken his promise...
The one to keep Eames from going out.
Goren had just wanted to please Eames...
Just once.
Understanding his discomfort at being locked up all the time.
But he had risked his life.
Johnny Eames would never forgive him for such a thing.
As well as he...
Would never forgive herself.
