A/N: The following morning post Purgatory at Bobby's Apartment.



The Black glock lay in thirty three pieces on the table. He preferred to use Prolix a proprietary cleaner...spraying down the barrel and through the cylinder chamber to remove the fouling rather than gun oil. After setting for a while he carefully cleaned off all the Prolix then lovingly used the bare brush and attached the patches to the tip on the aluminum rod and slid it down the barrel. Piece by piece he reassemble it and slid in the clip. He did not slide a bullet into the chamber or release the safety.

He checked the barrel with his bore light. He didn't like firing his weapon but if he needed to he wanted it in excellent condition. And he did use it once a week on the firing range...but it had been sitting in Moran's desk drawer for the last six months collecting dust.

Finally he wiped it all down with the silicon cloth removing all the fingerprints from his weapon. He picked up his badge and ran the cloth over it gently into every nook and cranny.

Lay them side by side on the table and smiled.

"Welcome back my old friends, "he whispered. Almost tenderly he slipped his badge into his pocket and holstered the glock, clipping it to his belt where the wear there proved it belonged. Defining who he was Detective First Grade Robert O. Goren, Major Case Squad.
