Summary:
When Bobby gets something wrong during a case, he runs away and Alex knows where he has gone.
You Found Me
"Alex, where the hell is Goren?" Deakins asked in frustration during one of the longest cases they have worked on. "He's been gone for hours," he added in frustration.
"He said he was going to get coffee from the corner shop," she answered, flipping through the case file, hoping to find something useful.
"There's perfectly good coffee here," Deakins retorted angrily.
"Yeah…but maybe he needs some time for himself," she suggested to Deakins. "You know what he's like Captain," she added, drinking a bit of coffee.
"Please find him," Deakins ordered. Alex just looked at him as if he was an alien from outer space.
"Like I said before captain maybe…" she started.
"No maybes Alex just do it," he cut her off in annoyance and stormed to his office. The door slammed. She remembered why he was so angry at Bobby; he went off on his own again. The Danielle Parkinson was really getting to him in so many ways. He couldn't figure out the criminals mind, he hated not knowing what was going in the mind of the criminal.
Although he did promise Deakins and Alex that he wouldn't, he did anyway. But this time he almost got killed and Alex was only there to help him.
Apartment of Danielle Parkinson
Queens, New York
"Drop the gun," Alex ordered the man with a rifle pointing towards Bobby. He had his hands in the air and his gun was on the ground. The gun man smiled at Alex. She managed to find Bobby looking at the crime scene again and realized he probably went for another look at it again. Of course, how Bobby was determined to get it right, he would have gone to the obvious place. Also he knew criminals go back to their crime scene to feel more secure for themselves to go anywhere by themselves.
"Well, who's this detective, you girlfriend?" the gun man smiled, licked his lips at her. She glared and put her hand on the trigger.
"I said drop the gun, now," she repeated again. The gun man still had the goofy grin on his face.
"You haven't got any guts, sweet heart," he laughed at her and pushed the gun roughly towards Bobby's face.
"She has way more than you," Bobby shot back; the gun man knocked him out with the rifle. Alex gasped in horror. She looked from the gun man to Bobby.
"Drop the damn gun," Alex yelled at him. The gun man started towards her. "If you come any closer I'll be forced to shoot," she warned him. The gun man stopped in his tracks, he eyed her body up and down. Most of the criminals Alex had dealt with were pigs; they always seem to hit on her, even though they had much pretty women with them.
"If you had a choice between love and your job what would you choose?" the gun man asked her, in a sly tone.
"I'm the one asking the questions here, buddy," she shot back at him.
"If you weren't working with that guy," he asked, pointing to Bobby's body. "Would go screw around with him?"
"That's none of your damn business, jackass," she said angrily and aimed at his chest.
"C'mon just tell me," he challenged. "He'll be dead by the time I'm done with you," he added laughing. She glared at him. He put the gun to Bobby's head. Bobby suddenly moved slightly. Please, be alive, she prayed silently. She took a step towards him, still having the gun trained on him.
"So you do love him?" he asked,
"God, damn it, why don't you kill him if you're so fucking curious?" she shrieked angrily, suddenly realizing what she said.
"You want me to?"
"No!"
Alex was so angry then, he was trying to manipulate her, trying so hard to break her. She hated how some criminals could tell certain things just by the way they connected to each other. Then she saw Bobby, a slight movement from the corner of her eye. She wanted to make a move so quickly that he would be to surprise to realize.
Then Bobby kicked the gun man leg so hard that the rifle went off, Alex screamed in surprise and jumped out of the way. She felt the bullet past by her ear and made a mark in the wall. Bobby had the gun man had looking at the barrel of the gun. She breathed in silent relief that he had it under control.
"You okay?" he asked, softly.
"Fine," she answered, getting up from the ground and cuffed the gun man.
"Sorry, I should have known," he said sadly. She looked in his eyes before he walked away, the guilty look in his eyes made her feel like crying.
Bronx, New York
Alex drove to the Bronx and found a warehouse that they once solved a crime in, it was where Nicole Wallace got killed and where she killed her last lover, before Bobby shot her twice. She knew he still felt bad about what he did, so he could have been there, still angry at himself. She parked her SUV just outside the door and got out. She could see the warehouse was still deserted from last time they were there. The door was just silently open and she knew she was looking in the right place for her partner. She went in and saw stairs heading towards the second floor, she could just see a bit of light coming from a large window, the same window Nicole fell out when she was killed, along with her recent lover. She went over to the window and looked out. She saw the river Nicole also went in. She shivered at the thought of Nicole Wallace, the bitch got to her and Bobby so well that she almost broke them apart.
"What are you doing here?" a voice made her jump. She spun around to find Bobby looking even more depressed than before. He sat down on a wooden box just a few feet from the window.
"Looking for you," she answered, in the same tone.
"I guess you found me," he shot back sarcastically. Alex went over to him and sat next to him.
"Bobby, it wasn't your fault," she told him, sighing at him.
"Course it was," he said angrily. He got up and started pacing back and forth. The only time she ever saw him like this was when after he shot Nicole. She felt glad that he did shoot her but he was nothing like her. He cared about everyone and felt sorry for people even if they had a black heart. Although everyone thought Bobby was strange but Alex knew there was more to him, more than anyone could understand.
"It wasn't your fault for being so curious and getting to the bottom of the case," she told him. That made him stop in mid-step and he looked at her. He gave her a look, a look that she never could understand
"If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be alive," he murmured softly. "I put you in great danger," he added, tears suddenly springing to his eyes. She saw the hurt in his eyes and this time she went over and hugged him.
"If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have a job," he mumbled in her hair. He pulled back and smiled. "You've been by my side for so long I keep forgetting I'm not alone," he smiled at her. She smiled back at him.
"You're not alone, you're never alone," she reminded him and looked in his eyes.
"Thank you," he answered softly.
"For what?"
"For finding me," he whispered and kissed her on the top of her hair.
A/N: hey, people, I sort of got the idea from the song 'You Found Me' by Kelly Clarkson. Yeah, I know a bit weird but it gave me an idea, hoped you liked it. Probably everyone done something along the lines of this but I tried to make it as different as I could! Thanks for reading! Please read and review, I really appreciate them!
