Chapter 4
"Hey, coffee." Eames tapped Bobby's head. He raised it from the desk where he had been half-napping, half-thinking.
"Oh, thank-you." He said sleepily.
"You look like hell. What happened?"
"I didn't feel good last night, and didn't get much sleep." It was sort of the truth, right? He took a sip of the warm, caffineated liquid. It made him feel a bit better.
Eames spotted the file on Erica on Bobby's desk.
"Oh, hey, you got a suspect file." She grabbed it off the desk.
"Umm, Alex-" he was interrupted by her as he reached up to grab it.
"What, you got a crush on her, and don't want me to read the file?" She smiled mischievously and turned out of reach. She started reading some of the quick facts to Bobby out loud.
"Name: Erica Petronilla Goren. Birthday: September 23, 1989. Mother: Daisy LeighAnne Johnson DiMarco. Father: Robert… Alan… Goren?" Alex looked at him with the utmost astonishment. She tried to form words, but none would come.
"Hey, I just found out yesterday!" He said defensively.
"I guess your one night stand was a lot more fruitful than you thought… What are you going to do now?"
"I don't know. I guess I have to tell her sooner or later. It might as well be sooner."
"Well, you can't tell her looking like that, go take a nap upstairs."
"But…"
"C'mon, get your workaholic booty up there!" Alex shooed him away with her hand, and got on the computer to look something up.
