A/N: I know it was a long hiatus but I'm back with renewed inspiration, thanks to karivalentina. Our talk helped me a lot and here's my thanks in form of some Miles for you ;)

Here's the new chapter. Enjoy and review.

"Hey, look who's back. Our workaholic" Miles cheered. "Have you caught anyone already?"

"Of course" James said marching toward his table and not looking at Miles at all.

Three… two… one…

"Whom?" Miles exclaimed.

"You"

"What?" Miles paused then frowned at James. "Oh, very funny."

"It is" James smirked. "Now let's go back to the work." He added seriously.

"What makes you think I'm going to help bastard like you?" Miles muttered still pouting.

"You're still my partner so you're stuck with me here Enos."

"Yeah, poor me." Miles sighed overdramatically.

"As if you have something more interesting to do." James enjoyed their bantering ignoring the thought of him having to leave Miles behind at some point.

"I could have" Miles snapped back but gave up. "Who are we looking for?"

"I mean who's our first priority of the two" He corrected himself at James 'really?' look.

"Jarrah. He's greater evil than Austen plus I won't have to deal with that annoying Marshal."

"Damn right" Miles nodded having his fair share of that guy.

"I've managed to narrow the list of officers having the access to them to three people." James shared the results of his morning. "Excluding federals for now."

"You really think one of us helped them escape?!"

"Occam's razor" James nodded.

"What razor?"

"Oh, come on. We already had that talk." James sighed before he could catch himself. They did have the talk just not in this timeline.

"It says that the simplest explanation is the true one." He said hoping for Miles not to notice his slip up.

"And it's you simplest explanation?!" Miles huffed. "Okay, who should we bring out into the open?"

"We have three candidates." James started. "Jeffreys, Cortez and Stanhope."

"The most boring guy, the smuggest girl and the one we have no real knowledge about except for him being previously a soldier. What a way to start the day."

"Well, sorry to upset you Princess but we don't choose our suspects. You can have Cortez if you want while I deal with guys."

"Nice try Ford, but no way I'm going near that woman ever again and you know that."

"Then Jeffreys and Stanhope are all yours." James shrugged.

Truthfully he wasn't keen on meeting Ana-Lucia either with what he learned from Miles together with his own experience from the Island. But the work should have been done and it better been him to confront her. Especially considering he had the feeling she was the one.

"Good luck there man. You were a good partner."

"Don't think you can rid of me that easily Ghost talker."

It was one of their internal jokes from before, with him always finding problems on his ass as Head of security and Miles complaining that he hears him enough to not want listening to his rumblings from six feet under.

"What?" But that wasn't his Miles, so he didn't understand. "Do you think it's not enough for me to handle you now?" Or maybe he did.

James looked at his friend more closely. Was there the chance for Miles to get his memory back?
