The door to the interrogation room opened with clatter, startling Logan and Barek.
Goren entered the room with quick steps, and indicated with his hand the exit to Logan and Barek.
- Get out, both of you.
Barek jumped at Goren's shout.
What just happened...
For him to be in such a rage.
Could it be...
At the evil smile on Walter Regan's face, Barek and Logan understood.
Eames.
Nothing else could have put Goren in such a state.
Barek turned his gaze to Logan, who nodded to him to leave.
Carolyn got up from the chair, and headed for the door, followed by Logan, who reached the door, looked back at Goren one last time, and exited the room, closing the door behind them.
Goren rushed to Regan, pushed the table aside, and grabbed Regan by the collar, and pinned him to the wall.
- Listen to me... I have nothing to lose... In Goren's voice, rage vibrated. Either you tell me where Alex is... or you don't get out of this room alive...
Goren had just spit his words in Regan's face.
Regan raised his chin, challenging him, and shaking his head in denial.
- Will happen... What happens...
At his words, Goren's rage redoubled.
I will kill him...
He pressed his arm against the Adam's palm of Regan's neck, choking him with all his might, turning his face blue.
And he raised his fist, and lowered it with all his strength on Regan's face.
The door opened on Deakins, a paper in his hand.
- What.
Goren had just yelled at Deakins, who didn't even pay attention to it, nor did he pay any attention to what Goren was doing choking Regan.
Goren's fist had stopped right in front of Regan's nose, grazing it.
But Goren was still keeping the pressure of his arm on her neck, choking her.
Regan started to put his hands on Goren's arm, trying to pull him away, but impossible, he was much too strong.
If this continued...
He was really going to die.
- We have located the last call received from Regan...
At Deakins' words, Goren threw Regan to the ground without mercy, and had to make a monster effort not to slam his foot into his face.
- If ever... Goren lowered his face to Regan's, who was starting to get some color back. I'll come back and finish what I started.
Goren stepped aside and walked over to Deakins, taking the paper from his hand, and walked out of the interrogation room, followed by Deakins, to find Logan and Barek waiting for them at the door.
- It is in Harlem...
At Deakins' words, Goren felt the anxiety rise in him.
Harlem...
Alex was a white woman, and for her it was the assured cut throat.
He didn't have to waste a second.
- About fifty policemen are ready... Let's hurry up.
At her words, Goren didn't waste a second, and rushed to the elevator, followed by Deakins, Logan, Barek, and about fifty policemen.
- Everybody hurry up...
Goren was in total panic...
If only he could get there in time.
He had to find her as soon as possible.
Eames was going to die.
The pressure of his fingers on her neck, pressing harder and harder, prevented her from breathing.
She tried as best she could to move her hand away from his neck, but the man was much too strong.
The man in question, raised the skirt of her dress, trying to have access to her small panties.
Eames wiggled in all the directions, preventing him from having access to his crotch.
But little by little, she lost strength, not being able to breathe.
- Bobby...
Please...
Eames pray for Goren to come...
And get her out of this mess.
- What are you mumbling, bitch.
If only...
She would have stayed with Bobby...
With her family...
And not come back to New York...
None of this would have happened.
She had been so happy...
She couldn't even say goodbye to Bobby.
The tears came to her eyes, her face turned blue, then purple.
She let her hands fall back...
Couldn't breathe.
Bobby...
Goren turned around.
It was Alex's voice calling his name.
Oh my God...
Where could she be...
He looked down the street, desperately searching for her.
He quickened his pace, and rushed into the alley on the right.
Goren stopped dead in his tracks, as if forbidden, in front of the scene that was unfolding before his eyes.
In front of his eyes, a man of white color, strangled Eames, and raised the skirt of her dress, trying to rape her.
His blood made only one turn.
A violent rage seized him.
He rushed towards the man, and wrapped his arm around his neck, strangling him with all his strength, and forced him to let go of Eames, dismissing it.
The man let go of Eames who fell to the ground.
He put his hand on Goren's arm trying to pull him away.
- I'm going to kill you.
The man felt his heart stop at his words.
Goren threw him to the ground, giving him a violent kick in the buttocks, which landed him face first on the ground.
He threw himself on top of him, grabbed him by the hair, and with all his strength, slammed his head against the ground.
- You shouldn't have touched her...
Goren screamed, mad with rage.
At Goren's voice, Eames felt his heart beat violently in his chest.
He had come to her rescue.
And to think that she had believed...
Her tears redoubled as they rolled down her cheeks.
- Bobby...
At Eames' small voice, Goren stopped dead in his tracks.
He let go of the man's hair, took the handcuffs out of his pocket, cuffed him, and stood up, rushing towards Eames.
His heart tightened at the vision of the face bathed in tears of Alex.
Arrived at the height of Eames, he put his hand on his wrist, helping him to stand up, and drew him to him.
- I am here now... You do not risk anything any more.
At his words, Eames threw herself into his arms, and burst into tears, clutching desperately at him, and screamed.
Goren's heart broke into a thousand pieces.
He brought his hand to her golden hair, caressed it with infinite softness.
- It's over, my angel...
Eames buried his face in his shirt.
- I've been so scared.
With delicacy, he held her close to him.
- Goren found Eames... Logan had just appeared followed by Barek at the corner of the alley. And there is a gift.
Logan called out to two officers, and pointed to the man on the ground in handcuffs.
The two officers rushed to the handcuffed man, forcing him to stand up and follow them unceremoniously.
Logan and Barek went towards Goren and Eames.
- You're okay, Alex...
Barek was worried.
Eames hugged Goren more tightly, buried his head more against his shirt, hiding his face.
What could this man have done?
- She've been scared.
At Goren's words, Barek decided not to insist.
- You come... We return near the captain.
Logan indicated with his hand the exit of the alley.
- The captain...
At Alex's surprised voice, Goren smiled.
Damn it...
Did she forget that despite her blindness, to Deakins she would always be one of their own.
Gently, he put his hand on her lower back, making her understand to move forward.
- It's going to be okay... Eames grabbed her arm, hand trembling. You're safe now.
