This series is a form of creative writing known as fan fiction. Detective Robert Goren is a regular character on the Dick Wolf television show Law & Order: Criminal Intent. What follows is one longtime viewer's breath of life into an already popular character.
I know, we've visited this topic before. Good Vs. Evil. Neither can exist without the other to balance it. Neither is necessarily noticeable or even noteworthy without an extreme opposite to challenge it. Why am I even going here again? I don't know. Maybe because this past week polar opposites have really seemed to command my attention ... Because I've spent my non-working last 36 hours combating a migraine and that means I've actually had the opportunity to take something to dull the pain. (Since I don't anticipate needing to be a a perfect shot til 7am.) That has kind of left me, well, not thinking my most clearest thoughts.
So, another week down. One that was really weighed down with people who seemed to have a natural ability to demonstrate the absolute worst qualities in humankind. It was heavy and none of us, not Eames, Barek, Logan, or myself were able to pretend we were unaffected. Some days we're lucky enough to do our jobs, react at a situation and then shake it off to go home. Last week, no such luck. Eames and I capped the week with a brief courtdate, one that had Nicole's most recent ex as the star perp. Evan. Wife-killer, attempted child-killer. A man who views his daughter — his only blood relative — as disposable. How do you raise a child for several years and NOT get attached? That was a common thread this week. Parents that shouldn't have been gifted with the opportunity to bring little people into this world. Junkie's who place far more value on the next "John" that'll enable the next fix, rather than placing that same determination in raising good, strong kids.
