Chapter Three:

Eames drove Goren to the warehouses. He went to get out of the car, when he felt a hand on his arm. "Don't you think we should get back-up?"

"It might be too late, if we wait," said the impatient detective.

Eames sighed softly before following him. She knew better than to try and stop him. When Bobby set out to do something, he does it, besides his girlfriend's life may depend on it.
The warehouse inside was empty, except for a few crates along the far wall. Bobby took a deep breath. Something shiny was lying on the floor. A sunshine ray was bouncing off of it and it shined in his face. He walked over to it and pickd it up. It was Ariana's cell phone and goren's heart sank.

Eames ran after him to catch up and looked at his face, She could see his disappointment and she wished there was something she could do, but she was just as helpless. "I'm sorry, bobby. We will find her." Something was dripping down Bobby's face and she reached out to touch it. "Are you bleeding?" She asked rubbing the substyance between her fingers.

Bobby reached up and touched his fac too. He then felt something drip on him. He looked up and almost fell to his knees. ariana was hanging from the rafters. She was naked and attached to her body were hooks with chains. Blood was dripping from her. "NOOOOOoooooooooooo!" Bobby screamed.

Alex had seen her share of blood and gore, but even this made her want to run and puke. She grabbed Bobby to stop his from contaminating the crime scene. He fell in a heap on the ground crying uncontrollable. Even Alex had a hard time keeping the tears from falling as she ccalled it in.

****************************************************

Goren and Eames stood at the ME's office, waiting for her to give them the report. goren seemed to be in another world. He wouldn't speak and it was as if he was in shocked. Alex could see the pain he was in and she knew keeping him off of this case was the last thing they should do. A few moments ago, the captain had ordered Goren off the case, but Eames had gone back and talked him into it. Goren was now her responsibility, a feat she knew she could handled. Goren's pain would now be hers.

The ME motioned for them to enter. She knew the victim was Goren's girlfrien and she tried to use sympathy when dealing with the detectives. The body was still in the drawer.

"First I want to say, I'm sorry for your loss." The ME said to goren.

He only stared at her. It was Eames who nodded a thanks, then asked, "What was the cause?"

"She had numerous causes, but the one that really did her in was the fishing line that was wrapped around her neck. It nearly beheaded her. the girl was tortured, had various cuts that were deep, but well planned. He knew where to cut. He didn't want her dead, until he wanted her to." Eames' eyes got wide as the ME spoke. "He had a thing with hooks. He put hooks into her back in order to hang her up in the rafters. The fishing line he attached to another rafter and as her body relaxed the line got tightened until she died."

Bobby finally spoke. "Where si she?"

"Still in ice," she answered. "You have to know, she may have been assaulted. I found two semen samples inside her." She took them into the room and found the door that had Ariana inside.

"One would be mine." Bobby said barely audible. "I want to see her."

"Are you sure?" He nodded and the ME opened the drawer and pulled her out.

Bobby looked at her. She looked so peaceful. He gently topuched her hair and stroked her cold cheek. HE closed his eyes, in an effort to stop the tears. "I should have been there. I should have stayed all night. If I had, she would still be alive."

"You don't know that Goren," said Eames. "This is not your fault."

Bobby gave Eames a look that told her he did blame himself. "Sweetie, I promise I will get him, who did this to you." He said to Ariana, before leaving the room. He walked to Eame's car and cried.

"The samples, did you give them to-?" Alex started to say to the ME.

"Yes I gave them to Benjora, just as you requested."

Alex waved thanks anmd walked back to her car. Goren quickly wiped the tears away as soon as he saw her coming towards him. She pretended she did not see.

AS they drove back to Major Case, bobby began to scream. Alex nearly jumped out of her skin. She stopped the car and he got out, falling to the ground. He was grieving, as he slammed his fists onto the concrete. Alex grabbed him and held him close. At first, he tried to push her away, but she held on to him, until he was so tired of fighting her, that he had no choice, but to cry in her arms. She rocked this big man in her arms, until he finally stopped and his eyes could cry no more.

Exhausted, Bobby walked with Eames back to her car. She got the first-aid kit she kept under her sea and bandaged his hands. His hands were bleeding from hitting the cement.

"bobby, do you want me to take you home?" She asked him,.

"No. I don't want to be alone. Not just yet." He said climbing into the passenger side of the car.

Alex got behind the wheel and started the engine. "I need to go to forensics. do you feel up to that?"

He looked at her and nodded. She took the car out of park and headed back top work.
