Bobby watched as the reporter on tv asked his partner questions about her being from a family of cops and her change from Vice to Major Case. Then came the question he had been dreading.

"How is it working with Bobby Goren?"

Alex brushed a piece of hair behind her ear as she collected her thoughts. "He's…eccentric, meticulous, and OCD. But…" She paused smiling.

"But?"

"He's brilliant." She said, giving the reporter a small smile.

"I don't think I've heard many people say he's brilliant."

"That's because a lot of people don't know him like I do." She said smirking.

The reporter nodded. "How long have you two been partners?"

"Six years."

"That's a long time,"

"Yes it is."

"What's next for you Detective Eames? Rumor is you could become Captain one day."

Eames gave a nervous laugh. "I don't know about that."

"You took the Captain's exam didn't you?"

"Yes."

"Finished in the top 10%."

"Yes."

"So why no desire to move up?"

"I'm happy where I am."

"With Detective Goren?"

Eames nodded. "Yes, with Detective Goren."
