AN: It's short, and I can't guarantee you'll like this chapter, but I had to write it. Also, obviously, I'm not even near the end of the 5th season... what can I say, I started this about 5 months ago :p
As of Tuesday I will officially be on winter break, so I'll probably write more, and update. I can't promise it'll happen next week, I'm just saying, it might. (And this is thethird and last time I'll upload this chapter, sorry if there are any more typos)


"I can't tell you what Bobby and I talk about, Becky. I can't. And I can't tell you what Alex and I talk about either. Think of me as a doctor, everything I hear is confidential, unless the rights are waved."

"But you're not a doctor, Rachel."

"I know I'm not. It was just an analogy. Simple way to tell you I can't tell you anything we ever talked about."

"You can put her up on the stand and I'm pretty sure she'll say something very much like that…" Alex said after Carolyn's look of disappointment.

"I think I'm gonna start calling her instead of Huang, sometimes he makes me feel dumb," Olivia whispered.

"Fine!"

"Hey, don't go mad on me now!"

"But you still won't talk to me!"

"We can talk about other things, like, say, a relationship I didn't know about until you walked into your apartment the other night? Or why the change of jobs? There's plenty to talk about, and what we talked about would stay between us, unless, of course, you told me you were planning to commit a serious crime or you specifically told me it's okay to talk about it with someone or anyone else…"

"It's not okay with them?"

"They haven't said…"

"Hold it! A relationship she didn't know about until you walked into your apartment the other night? Carolyn Barek, who are you hiding?" Alex exclaimed.

"Hey, you were talking to her, eavesdropper!"

"I was, don't change the subject. Do I know this person?" Alex asked rising her eyebrows.

"I'm not going to –"

"Not here, but you're not getting out of this so easily."


"Mike," Carolyn whispered from under his chin, where her head was resting.

"Hmm."

"Rachel said in front of Olivia and Alex that I was in a relationship, and-"

"I think Goren knows," he said suddenly, cutting her off.

"What did you do Mike? What did you say?"

"What makes you assume it was me? Fine, okay. I may have asked some questions a little too…abruptly."

"Mike!"

"He was giving me a look. You know, the 'I know something you don't and I won't tell you' look."

"Alex will annoy me until I tell her who I'm with; I can only take that for so long…"

"Then we tell them. It's not like they can't keep a secret."

"You sure?"

"Yeah. They were bound to find out, anyway."
