'I wanna know what he's thinking', wondered Neela. She knew Ray was staring at her but couldn't for the life of her figure out what he was thinking whilst leering. Well the woman had a slight suspicion, actually it was more of a ridiculous idea placed in her head by none other than Tony Gates.

Flashback

"So it's okay that we're just friends?" Neela felt guilty but she just had to know.

"Of course it is. Remember, this was mutually ended. Plus I had my own benefits." Tony managed to slightly restrain his Cheshire cat smile.

Neela had to laugh, "You're such a pervert."

"Hey, hey. I'm a pervert with a heart of gold. Because you know what? I'm gonna do something for you that will change your life."

"What, are you going to show me the way of Jesus?"

"No, I'm going to point something out to you that should be pretty obvious but for some reason, it's not."

"And that is….?"

"That you are that Ray Barnett kid should be together."

Neela stayed frozen in place with a 'What???' expression on her face.

"Okay now before you hit me, let me explain. Y-you and that guy have been friends, roomies, acquaintances, whatever, for the longest time."

"From what I've see, he knows everything about you and you about him. I'm not much into destiny, but I think you two are soul mates. Just think about that."

Neela was too shocked to giggle at Tony's use of the word 'destiny', and when he walked out of the room, she did just what Tony had instructed, and started to think.

End of Flashback

Neela couldn't stop looking at Ray, giving in to the temptation of occasional glances. 'What is he thinking?'

The Indian woman was interrupted mid thought by Luka walking through the front desk area, loudly ordering,

"I need two people to go through the documented release archives. Look for any an all cases involving a white woman, born 1972, with broken bones and signs of domestic abuse. She's in danger and think we can help. Ray, Neela, look in the archived filing room and don't come out until you've gotten all cases from 2003 to now."

"Wha—but…" Neela mouthed, trying to form words.

"Dr. Kovac, I really don't think…" Ray tried to get out.

Not letting a word pass, Luka yelled, "Go!" and left the floor.

As Neela and Ray reluctantly made their way to the archived filing room, Luka Kovac watched from behind a corner and asked Abby, "Was I too tough on them?"

"No, they need a good push in the right direction."

"I wonder what they'll say when they figure out there's no case."

"Whatever they say, blame it on Tony Gates."
