A/N: Just a short chapter to set up the next story. For Officer Tony, Bobby and Alex.

Chapter Twenty-Two

Downtown Brooklyn

April 2005

"Major case has been called in," Detective Brenner says to his partner, Jason Samuels, as he slips his cell phone into the breast pocket of his jacket.

"Why?"

Scratching the back of his head Brenner asks, "Don't you know who the victim is?"

"I.D says Jonathan Miller, so?" Jason shrugs his shoulders.

"Congressman Miller," Samuels smirks. Brenner continues, "Jonathan Miller, 10th District."

"Oh," is all the reply Samuels offers as he scans over the beaten man. "Well at least we have a witness," he says sarcastically, "Through gin filled eyes."

"Yeah but he did say that he saw someone dump him here so we know that he was murdered somewhere else," he looks down the alley. "He probably wouldn't have been found until the morning if that man hadn't been using the alley as a shelter."

Brenner turns when he hears a female voice call his name, he points past his partner. "Here they come."

"Goren, Eames," Brenner says as he greets them.

"Tom, how are you?" Alex asks as she shakes his hand.

"Good, pretty good, how about yourself?"

"Not bad."

"Brenner," Bobby says as he too holds out his hand. Tom shakes his hand, then points to his left. "This is my partner Jason Samuels, Jason Detectives, Goren and Eames." Handshakes once again shared. Moments later Bobby is attending to the body.

"Who was the first on the scene?" Alex asks as she slips on her sterile gloves.

Brenner scans the area, "That rookie over there." Detective Brenner calls out, "Hey rookie, come here." He waves to the tall, dark haired man.

"Rookie out here alone, where is his partner?"

Brenner ignores the question, Alex asks again, "Where's his partner?"

He jogs over, "Yes Sir."

Alex recognizes the young man and smiles. She looks past the eager rookie officer, "Detective Eames this is," Brenner snaps his fingers, "Sorry, what was your name again."

Alex waves her hand, "Never mind Tom, I know who he is." She once again scans the scene, "Officer Fisher, where is your partner?"

He bows his head and stares at his feet as he answers, "He was ah, busy."

Brenner interjects, "Let it go Eames."

"I will not," she turns her attention once again to the young officer, "I'll ask again, where is your partner?"

"He was, is busy with someone on the next block."

The familiarity of the voice causes Bobby to raise his head, "Blonde, brunette or maybe a redhead?" Bobby asks as he stands.

"I don't know Sir, I….I," he bites his lip. He then stands up straight, speaking with authority, "I heard the call and since I was only a block away I responded."

Smiles are expressed by all, "So," Bobby says as he places his arm around Tony's shoulder and leads him away from Brenner and Alex.

Detective Brenner lightly taps Alex on her arm, "Eames," he points in the directions of Bobby and Tony "Who's the rookie with your partner?"

"His son," she whispers.

"Huh," Detective Brenner asks.

She shakes her head, turning her attention toward Brenner, "So, where and who is this witness."

Brenner points, "Willie Moore," he escorts her across the street, "Willie, want to tell Detective Eames what you told me."

It's Over.
