Sue Thomas FBEYE

Bossy Much? Episode: New Mafia

The Dare:

At the beginning of the episode, they're monitoring the shakedown...

The dare is really more of a ... Tell us what happened before the cameras started rolling... what did they talk about on their way to set up their location...?

The way that Sue comes to join them seems to indicate that for this particular assignment... or rather the assignment before this one... had the team working on separate cases. Perhaps Bobby and Tara had been working a case together?

"C'mon let's go..." Tara said, tapping her foot impatiently.

"If I let you drive, would you be less bossy?"

Tara frowned at him. "Now Bobby..." She chided him. "You're the one that "forbid" me to drive this van." She used her fingers to put quotes around the word forbid.

"Tara luv. You almost killed us when I let you drive it last week." He explained, going around to get in the van. He shut the door and buckled his seat belt while she got in and did the same.

"I did not, Bobby Manning and you know it." She protested. "You know as well as I do that the other car ran a red light." She huffed at him.

Bobby couldn't help the grin that spread across his face and he winked at her. "I know." He said. She scowled at him. "But it's just so much fun to rile you up." he teased. "You're so cute when you get riled up."

Tara rolled her eyes at him. "Anyway... if you won't let me drive then yes... I'm going to be bossy." She stated.

He muttered something under his breath about bossy sheilas before grinning at her as they started off to get set up where they needed to be in order to watch Jack and Tony on the assignment.

Tara was silent the whole drive there until they were set up and she was entering in the codes they needed. "Bobby... is being bossy a bad thing?" She asked, shifting to reach across him to grab the camera and focus it in to her focal point for sound and pictures.

D had already been by the alley to place a few well located bugs for them.

Bobby studied her for a moment, not saying anything. Until she turned and looked at him that is. "No." He said, smiling warmly at her. "Bossy isn't bad." He reassured her.

She almost retorted something back. Her relationships had never been easy and she wondered if she was bossy... too bossy... and it was driving them away.

But then Dom and Jack and Tony arrived in the alley and she focused her attention on the alley.

"Almost as bad as one of my department store credit cards." Tara said absently.

Bobby smirked behind her. And she was off on a different train of thought. He almost breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't meant to side track her with the bossy thing... he should have remembered that no woman likes to be told she was bossy.

Sue arrived in the van with them shortly and he promptly forgot about the earlier conversation with Tara as they focused more attention on the job at hand.
