They held hands in the car on the way to work and didn't let go until Bobby shut the car off. "You know, we probably should have brought two cars to work" Bobby said.

"Maybe. I hope we figure this out soon. The phrase "Oh what a tangled web we weave" keeps coming to mind." Alex replied.

"I love you"

"I love you too, now let's go to work Goren"

When they entered the building they ran into Logan getting off the elevator. "Hey Mike," Bobby said "you change your mind and decide to come back?"

"Nah, the brass just screwed up the paperwork and I had to come in and straiten it out." Alex's cell rang and she saw that it was her sister's number on the readout. She stepped aside to take the call without interrupting the guy's conversation.

"Hey sis" she said when she answered "What's up?"

"Now Alex, I don't want you to think that I was spying on you or anything, but I was a strange car outside you place every time I drove by this weekend."

"Well, my partner stopped by a couple of times, you remember I told you that his brother died"

"Yeah but come on Alex, it never moved form Saturday to this morning"

"You always were a nosey sister."

"But you love me anyways, so come on do you and Detective Hottie Goren have a Scarecrow and Mrs. King thing going on?"

"Scarecrow was a spy and Mrs. King was a civilian."

"Come on Alex, are you and Bobby doing the horizontal mamba or not. A sister has the right to know."

"A sister also has the right to remain silent, which I am going to do for now. I have to go or I will be late for shift." Alex sighed and hung up as she rejoined Mike and Bobby.

"Case?" Bobby inquired.

"No, my sister, it was good to see you Mike, but we better get upstairs before Ross notices we're not there."

"Right, see you guys again sometime, if you ever need anything call." Mike said turning to leave.

Bobby noticed that Alex seemed a little upset after her phone call but waited until they were in the elevator to ask her about it. "Everything ok with your sister and your family?"

"Actually, I didn't get a chance to find out, she had something else on her mind other than family business."

"Well whatever it was she obviously upset you, do you want to tell me what it was about?' Bobby asked.

"Cake!" Alex said as she strode out of the elevator on their floor of 1PP.

Bobby followed her out but decided not to comment further. It was obviously a conversation best left until a more private time. Captain Ross had just finished talking to Wheeler and her new partner when he turned and saw them. He approached them just as they reached their desks.

"Morning detectives"

"Morning captain" they both said at the same time.

"Goren, I thought you were going to take a few days?" The captain asked.

"I took what I needed captain. What I need no is work and the normalcy of routine or at least as normal and our routine gets."

"OK if you sure." Ross said and gave Eames a meaningful glance.

"I wonder what that look meant." Bobby said after the captain was back in his office.

"My guess would be what it always means, Keep and eye on him." Alex smiled as she answered him.

"Gee Eames that could be hard work, you might have to put in overtime" He laughed and he sat down at his desk.

"Well, overtimes ok when you don't have a life, but, you see Goren there is this new guy I have been seeing lately and I was thinking about baking a cake tonight." They were both chuckling when Captain Ross walked up and handed them a piece of paper with an address.

"Double homicide" Ross stated.

"Let's go Goren" Alex replied.

"Right behind you Eames."

"Something else Detective?" The Captain asked.

"I just wanted to thank you for the time off."

"Not a problem, I just hope you didn't come back too soon."

"Don't worry Captain, I'm sure Eames will keep and eye on me." Bobby chuckled all the way to the elevator where Alex was waiting for him.
