CHAPTER FIVE: LOUSY ROTTEN SCONDRELS
Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures
"What was that?"
"Marguerite Moynihan was murdered. They want us."
"I'm not going." He gets off the floor and sits on the couch. He shakes his head no.
"Bobby, you love, loved Marguerite and she had a fondness for you. The Commissioner never had a beef with you either … one last case … what do ya say?"
"No … it's over Alex … sorry but Ross tried to get me fired tonight from Charter … FUCK HIM!"
"This isn't about him, it's about who killed Marguerite."
"No, it's about the lack of respect and the bullshit I've had to put up with. I'm sorry … I just can't … please don't ask me to do this."
"Then I'm not going either."
"Alex you have to. You made your mind up to take the Captain's exam, if you don't do this … it will end your career."
"Good, then we can settle down and have a child. I'm fine with that."
"No your not." He picks up his cell phone and calls Ross.
"Goren … you heard, great , you're coming in?"
"Coming in? Where's the crime scene? 1 PP?"
"Well no but we wanted to brief you here."
"No, we should go to the crime scene … where is it … their home … a party somewhere … where is it Ross?"
He can hear noises in the background … arguing … a woman's voice … "Oh just give me the phone Danny."
"Hello Bobby?"
"Marguerite!"
Alex looks over at him excitedly, he looks at her pissed off and points at the phone.
"What the hell is going on Peg?" Alex mouths to him, "you call her Peg?" He shrugs.
"Desperate times call for desperate measures, Bobby. Please come back to the PD, my husband has been physically ill since he found out that you were leaving. You name your price, he'll make it happen."
"That was a dirty rotten trick Peg. You know how I feel about you. I need to think, I'll get back to you."
He slammed his cell phone and threw it across the room, when he glanced over at Alex, he saw that look … the, I'm in big trouble with Eames, look.
"What?"
"How do you feel about Peg, Bobby?"
"Maybe you should sit."
"I'll stand, thank you very much."
"Remember when the Commissioner and his wife … Peg, were separated a few years back?"
"Oh God … no."
"Ah … yeah."
She heads for the door but he cuts her off.
"Why are you leaving, this has nothing to do with us."
"You had or have feelings for her and you were going to sit back and let her murderer go free? I don't get that. I thought I knew you. What kind of a man are you?"
"The kind of man that wants to forget his past and have a better future … with you … and I wasn't going to let her … her fake murderer go free … I was encouraging you to take the case. Alex don't make this about us when it's really about a dirty lousy trick that the brass played on us to get us back … their golden team. We make them look good. That's all they want. Don't let them beat us … before we're even an us … please."
Alex sits down on the couch. She's obviously pissed but she's not pissed at Bobby.
"You're right, I'm sorry, our past should stay there. What they did was deplorable! I can't take that exam Bobby … I need to leave, I can't work with people that would stoop this low."
"Sean said that he could find a position in his company for you … if you were interested … but … I want you to talk with your Dad first. Okay?"
"I'll talk to him but yeah, I'm interested."
"Hmm, I think we just had our first major fight and we have even had sex yet."
"Maybe we should do something about that."
