Chapter three has arrived! Thanks for all the reviews!

Sara glanced down at her plane ticket and the boxes surrounding her. She was leaving London for good. After leaving New York two months ago, the homesickness had hit her harder than ever. She had thought about taking her old job back before, but the spontaneous visit had convinced her that London wasn't for her.

"You're leaving." It wasn't a question.

"Huh?" Sara looked towards the doorway of her apartment and saw her next-door neighbor, Alan, peering into the front hall. "Oh, yes. I'm leaving.

"Are you leaving the area or are you moving to a fancier flat?"

Sara smiled softly. "I'm going back to New York. You know, I visited London when I was a teenager and I fell in love. Now, I think that I'd prefer to just come here on vacation."

He nodded. "When are you leaving?"

"I'm leaving in another hour. It was really sudden. I should be there Sunday afternoon, just in time for work on Monday."

"Wow, that is really sudden," he agreed. "Well, it was nice knowing you for the short time that you were here. Good luck in New York, Sara."

"Thanks, Alan."

It was a bad winter in New York and even in March, the air was biting cold and after spending awhile in milder climates, Sara couldn't help but shudder when she stepped outside the airport to hail a taxi to the Westin Hotel.

"So, where are you visiting from?" asked the cabbie as he placed her two suitcases in the trunk of the car.

"I'm from around here," Sara informed him icily. "Do I look like I'm not from New York?"

"I figured that since you wanted me to drop you off at a hotel in a major tourist area, you weren't from around here."

"Okay, whatever. Just hurry up and drive!"

Sara woke up feeling extremely tired Monday morning. She had hoped that the jetlag would've worn off by now, but obviously not.

When she pushed open the door to her floor an hour and a half later, she was greeted with silence. Everyone was looking at her and she could tell that they were all trying their hardest not to whisper some piece of gossip to the person next to them. "Oh, it feels so good to be back," she whispered under her breath.

Karen Nelson handed Sara a cup of coffee, black with two sugars, just the way her boss liked it. "Welcome back, Ms. Ellis," she greeted her. "How do you feel being back in New York?"

"It's great," Sara said smiling. "Thanks for the coffee, Karen."

"So, why's the bitch queen back in town?" Anthony Yarbrough, a senior claims adjuster, asked Karen as soon as Sara went into her office. "It was so peaceful when she wasn't here, kissing everyone's ass all the time and taking all the limelight."

"She just decided to come back," Karen told him, shrugging. "Hey, she's nice to me so it doesn't really matter."

"You have to admit that she's a bitch most of the time."

"I guess she is."

"Everybody, be quiet," Diana yelled, attempting to get her team to shut up and let her talk. "We are working on yet another insurance fraud case and Sara Ellis is here to tell us about it."

Neal tried his hardest not to gape as he saw his ex-girlfriend walk in, decked out in her usual four-inch heels and sheath dress. She was the last person he expected to see today.

"Hi everyone," Sara said, taking a seat next to Diana. "My client, Ms. Salisbury, has been accused of doing some illegal things to obtain the insurance money for her two diamond necklaces and I've been informed that this connects to your present case."

"Necklaces?" someone asked. "Is this really worth dedicating a whole investigation towards?"

"If it was just this one case, we wouldn't have gone through the trouble. But, in the last two months, there were five identical cases like this. Every time, jewelry or some type of valuable is stolen and the details aren't adding up and our clients aren't able to get their insurance," Sara answered testily. "Sterling Bosch is dedicated to providing our clients with the best service and this investigation is essential to that."

Neal lifted his head up and asked, "So, what do we have to do?"

"We're not so sure," Diana answered. "Right now, all we know is that something strange is going on. That's actually where we come in. The FBI will be looking into these cases and we'll be trying to find a trend in the burglaries. Then, hopefully, we can also see how honest Ms. Ellis' clients are."

"That's basically the story. Sterling Bosch was contacted to help with the case since you're investigating our clients," Sara added as everyone in the room stood up and filed out of the room.

"Sara, wait!" Neal called as the strawberry blonde hurried out of the room.

"What do you want?" Sara scowled at Neal as she rummaged in her purse for a pair of gloves. "I'm in a hurry and I need to get back to the office."

"What are you doing here?"

Just a quick question: would you guys like to see more of the case (and more chapters) or a quick build up to the romance?

And... reviews motivate me.
