spoilers for last nights episode
Hurt
As she lowered the gun she felt the familiar stirrings in her stomach, throat and eyes. She had killed a man. She couldn’t bring him back and she couldn’t turn back time.
She was shaken, and Bobby had taken off to mock the perp. The one time she needed him and he walked away. She needed to leave. As soon as the officer took her gun and put it in the evidence bag, she sprinted down the steps never looking back. Bobby caught the movement from where he stood out of the corner of his eye and he heaved a heavy sigh.
She hugged her knees to her chest as she sat in the dark room in track pants and a tank top. Her eyes were swollen and red, and a bottle of scotch and an empty glass sat on the coffee table in front of her. As she sat and cried she heard a knock on the door but she chose to ignore it. The knock became louder and more desperate. Finally she heard a key in the lock and she knew who it was. She didn’t look up when he entered. Bobby was shocked at her appearance. It had seemed that she lost weight since the afternoon. He was scared. Alexandra Eames never cried.
He didn’t know what to say. So he removed his coat and sat next to her on the couch. He lightly placed his hand on her shoulder, and before she flinched he could feel her trembling. He had to say something.
“It’s hard killing a suspect Eames. But its part of the job, you need to relax. It was a clean shoot.”
“Fuck you, Bobby” He had a look of shock on his face. “I’m not upset about the shooting. I know it was justified! I’m upset because you abandoned me, you left and you broke my heart.” She placed her head on her knees and sobbed.
“Alex?” That stopped her right there. He never used her first name. “I didn’t come to you because you are the strongest woman I know. Something needed to be said to that racist murderer. I didn’t think you needed me.”
“Something needed to be said to me, Bobby. You really hurt me. And I always need you.” Bobby looked at her in shock. He decided to throw caution to the wind. He reached over and pulled Alex towards him.
“I always need you too Alex.” He kissed her on the forehead and they sat in the dark silence needing each other.
