Fiona smiled a wicked smile.
A customer in her grips, she passed Mandy, whispering in the man's ear, cackling vulgarly.
Eames shrugged.
It did not matter to him, what Fiona could well tell on his account, she had had much worse at the criminal, and on his partner Robert Goren.
So one could tell anything and everything, it did not make him hot nor cold.
Speaking of her partner...
Where was Goren...
And why hadn't he arrived yet?
Every night she waited for him impatiently.
And as soon as he was there, she was the happiest woman in the world, that she had to pull herself together and hide her joy, lest she scare him away.
If he knew how she felt about him, she was likely to see him disappear.
Eames remembered the first night she had jumped on him.
Goren had tried to stop her, trying to escape from her arms.
She laughed a little.
Today, Bobby was not running away from her.
On the contrary...
It was even him who started to take the lead.
Eames would never have thought him so shy about sexual things.
He who always had his tongue hanging out, and without restraint, during an interrogation, here he was mute, and shy.
How was it possible to have such different facets.
But she thought he was so cute when he was like that.
He looked like a little boy.
And he went from being a little boy, to a fiery lover, in a matter of seconds.
Eames blushed violently at the memory of their lovemaking.
But she turned back.
Still no Bobby on the horizon.
Her heart tightened.
Would he be tired of her...
Was he afraid to come back, thinking that Deakins had understood everything, about what was happening between them.
And that it was for this reason that he did not come any more.
Alex rested her elbows on the bar counter, took her head in her hands, and blew.
She looked down at her glass of whiskey sadly.
Drinking wouldn't help her at all.
Goren was more than tired of paperwork.
He just wanted to...
to throw it all away.
Why was Deakins doing this to him?
He knew that he hated it, and that Eames was always in charge of it.
Eames.
What the hell...
He grimaced, sulking.
Grimace, which did not escape Deakins.
So Goren was sulking like a child, when he was prevented from running to Eames.
But what a kid...
Eames had managed to catch him in his net.
And that was the end of Goren.
Deakins thought Bobby was different from other men, preferring his work to chasing girls' skirts.
But Goren was a human being, like everyone else.
And Alex was the only one who could make him forget about his police duty.
Wouldn't he be infatuated with his partner?
- How much longer is this going to take?
So like that...
Goren was fed up, and he told his so openly, without any restraint.
- Yes... Enough.
Goren breathed out in despair.
This made Deakins laugh, and he tried to hold back his laughter.
Had he said something funny?
And what was Deakins' chuckling?
Was he laughing at him?
Goren raised his head, and glared at Deakins.
His captain stopped laughing for a moment, but two seconds later, his giggles increased, annoying Goren.
Wouldn't Deakins have given him all his files on purpose...
If so...
Why?
And for what purpose?
