AN: I'm just a writing machine and I work only for youuu! This is good, four chapters in two days. Hopefully I can keep going. Once again L&O is not mine. This is Eames POV. Bold is, as you will figure out, dreams. And off we go.

Chapter 4

I was working on paperwork when I heard a soft snort of amusement. I looked up to see my partner having a silent laughing attack.

"What's so funny?"

"It's...this...snort...this website...chuckle...of a song...snort...about llamas!" This had to be a dream, seeing as Bobby didn't snort for one, and a song about llamas? Come on!

"Seriously."

"Seriously! Here, take a look."

"Huh. You were right." I looked up at him and smiled, and the next thing I knew it I was in the morgue. I was confused. Wasn't I just in the bullpen?

"I'm glad you're here. I was wondering when you would arrive. I have a body for you to identify."

"Ok..." What was going on? As he pulled the sheet back, I stumbled away.

"Oh God, no. What's this? Is this some kind of joke. Because it's not funny."

"It's no joke. Can you identify who it is?" I still couldn't believe my eyes.

"It's...Detective Robert Goren. No, no." The man opened his mouth to say something, but all that came out was "Beep...Beep...Beep..." I wrinkled my eyes in confusion, then started awake, and promptly forgot the dream ever happened. I reached over Eddie to get my cell phone and flipped it open.

"Eames."

"Eames, I need you at the precinct now."

"Why? I mean not that I don't want to but it's three o'clock in the morning." I really don't want to go in. I'm tired and I won't be any good tired.

"Something's happened. I need you hear now." Of course you do.

"Is Bobby there already?"

"Look I just need you here as soon as possible. Preferably now, but as soon as you can." Why is he avoiding my question? Did something happen to Bobby? Something happened to Bobby, crap.

"I'll be right there."

"Where are you going? Who was that?" I rolled out of bed.

"That was my captain, and I'm going to the precinct." I heard him sigh. "What? would you rather me ignore my captain. Besides, something is wrong."

"Of course something is wrong! You're leaving in the middle of the night because your 'captain' called in the middle of the night! Right!" He was sneering at me. I shook my head at him and walked out of the bedroom. "Get back in here! I'm not finished with you!"

"But I'm finished you! By the time I get back, I want you gone! The wedding is off! I'm no longer your fiancée!" And I slammed the door shut after that, finally glad that I took the initiative to get rid of him. I couldn't wait to tell Bobby that the sleaze bag was gone. I pulled into my parking spot and remembered that something sounded off about Deakins. I also remembered that he sounded that way after I asked about Bobby. That thought was sobering. I walked to the elevator and punched the 11th floor button (you gotta feel sorry for it, all that anger towards it.) I walked through the bullpen to Deakins office. What I saw surprised me. Deakins was sitting with his head against the desk.

"Take a seat." I sat down.

"What's wrong?" I had the nagging feeling that something was terribly wrong.

"At about 1:30 in the morning, dispatch got a phone call from a man. The man said that another man had just jumped off a bridge. He did not see the man jump, a female teenager did."

"Does this have to do with a case we're going to be getting? And where's Bobby?" Get to the point please!

"I'm getting to it." He sighed, and I realized how much older he looked than earlier today. "At first, dispatch didn't know who jumped off the bridge, but he had left something with the girl who saw him jump. The officers on the scene then called me, and I verified that the object did belong to the man who jumped."

"What's this got to do with me?" Tell me!

"The man who jumped was one Detective Robert Goren." What?

"No, no. He said that he would see me tomorrow. He couldn't have jumped off the bridge. He said he would see me tomorrow!" I felt myself slide down in my chair and let my head fall into my hands. "Why would he lie to me?" He said he would see me tomorrow. I had to tell him the good news. Why did he leave me?

"Alex," Deakins spoke up softly. "The girl who saw what happened is here."

"Really?"

"Hi." Rai weakly said. "I'm Rai, and uh, I have this for you. He said to give this only to you." She got up and handed me the badge and I knew it was his. I felt it from the way he used his things that it had been used by him. "I, uh, also have a message for you..." I looked up at Rai. "He said to say that he, uh, was sorry." And with that, she retreated to the dark corner. I was on the edge of my breaking point, and I felt betrayed.

"Why?" Deakins stood up and came around the desk and knelt in front of me, but I hardly noticed.

"I don't know." With that I let go, knowing that I would never see his boyish smile or hear his voice again, and I cried. How could he leave me? Why would he take his life?

AN: Next... what's Bobby up to? Find out in the next chapter, hopefully tomorrow. Review please. ANd ther really is a song about llamas on the internet, just type the llama song in google and it's the first link.
