CD Returns

[TDfan69]

Thanks for the replies! Here is more:


"Hello?" Nate asked, unlocking the car door. At first, there was silence on the other end, and he was about to hang up when a voice said, "It's me." Nate froze. "CD?" Nate asked incredulously. "Yes," CD said quietly. It was so good to hear his voice that she was about to cry. Nate, on the other hand, was completely dumbfounded. He couldn't say anything at first. "What are you- where are- what makes you think that you can just call me?" Nate was ticked. After of nothing from her, she just calls up like nothing happened. Well,he wasn't going to let her get away with it, no siree. CD took a deep breath. So far, his reaction was not as bad as she thought it would be, but he had yet to see her. "I just wanted to call to tell you I am back in the city. I work in Missing Persons." She left out the Captain part; there would be time for that later.

Okay, sorry this is short- I just found out I may have to go out of town tonight. Have to pack!

okay, I am SOOOOOOOOO sorry for not writing any fic for a while- been busy!

(Nate and CD are talking on the phone)

Nate did not say anything. So, she was back, and working in the same building. He was now driving to work, and would be there soon. He was bound to run into her, and that first time would be a shock. He was half tempted to call in sick, but knew Raina would chew him out later for leaving her with the interrogations that they were doing today. Nate took a deep breath. " I guess a 'welcome back' is in order, is there anything else?" Nate asked. CD hesitated. This was harder than she thought. He sounded so angry.... "Nate, I would like to talk to you about what happened, if you will listen. I am going to be holed up in my office all day so I was wondering if you could come by my apartment tonight,around eight?" Nate sighed. Better to get this over with. "Okay, what is your address?" he asked. CD told him, and then Nate disconnected. How was he ever going to get through the day now? Truth be told, he loved hearing her voice, and a small part of him was happy taht he was going to see her tonight.

CD hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. At least that was taken care of, and maybe she could concentrate on work. The Inspectors started arriving, and once everyone was there, she introduced herself. After giving the standard 'I am glad I am here' sppech, she went into her private office. She spent the rest of the day going over current cases and talking with the Inspectors about where they were in their investigations. All in all, not a bad day, though the evening ahead was always at the back of her mind. She knocked off at six, and headed home.

Nate arrived at work. Only the Captain and eager-beaver Stacy were there. He sat down at his desk, wondering what to do. He did not want to say anything to the gang about CD, but had a feeling Kate knew what was going on. He knocked on her door. "Yeah?" Kate answered, not looking up from her desk. Nate closed the door,sat down, and waited for Kate to finish reading. Kate looked up, put her glasses down and looked at Nate. "She called you, right?" she asked Nate. He looked at her. "So you did know she was back," he said. Kate leaned back in her chair. "I saw her a couple of days ago, yes," Kate answered. Nate started pacing. "What am I supposed to do here? She calls me out of the blue, wants to see me, and I am supposed to just go on like nothing happened?"Nate asked. "I don't know what to think. Do you know where she has been? Why she left in the first place?" Nate asked. "I know why she left, but I do not know where she has been exactly." Kate stood to face Nate. "Just let her explain. listen to her, and then you can decide. CD knew this would be hard, and she never knew if she would even get this chance with you." Nate nodded. "Yeah, I guess I will, but it is going to be hard seeing her again." Nate opened the door, and then turned back. "How does she look?" he asked. Kate smiled. "She looks great." Nate nodded and walked out. The rest of his day went fairly smooth. Raina was mercifully absent, He finished paperwork, did a couple of interrogations for his cases. Magda and Jinny tried to talk to him a few times, but realized he wanted to be left alone. They were used to his moods by now. Nate drove home at six-thirty, changed clothes, ate a sandwich, and headed to CD's apartment.

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Reunion! That was SO great, so I can't wait for the next post!

CD was ready. She had come home, unpacked some to make the living room more inviting, and then changed clothes. Now there was nothing to do except wait nervously for Nate to arrive. Right at eight, there was a knock. CD went to answer it, her heart beating way too fast. She opened the door. Nate stood there, his hands in his pockets and looking as nervous as CD felt. "Hi", she said. "Would you like to come in?"CD backed away from the door so Nate could enter, and then closed the door. Both stood in the entryway, not sure what to say or do. "Come on in," CD said finally,walking towards the living room.Nate followed, taking off his jacket. “Would you like something to drink?” she asked. Nate spoke for the first time. “No, I would not like something to drink. What I would like is to know why I am here and what happened a year ago!” CD was a bit taken aback at Nate’s outburst, but tried to put herself into his shoes. This was going to be so hard. She sat down, and Nate did the same. Okay, here goes. “It all started when I got shot. While I was in the hospital, Prescott Bower contacted me. He knew through his sources that I had figured out that Liz was involved. He called Liz an idiot, said she had bungled the entire operation, effectively putting some other plans on hold. He offered me a lot of money if I would work for him secretly. All I had to do was to go to work as normal, collect whatever info he wanted, and just help him out in whatever he needed. I was too shocked to say anything, said I would think about it. He warned me not to talk to anybody about this.” She stopped for a moment. Nate’s head was spinning. This was not what he had expected…. CD continued. “What I didn’t know was that my phone calls were being screened. Kate had figured out something like this could happen, and had contacted the Chief for help. Right after I was discharged, the Chief came to see me, and asked me to go along with Bower’s scheme. The idea was to go undercover, get evidence to nail this guy and put him back in prison. Since I wasn’t going to be going back to work for a couple of months, I would have plenty of time to be with Bower and hopefully get done what I needed to get done. So I called him, and said I would do it. He got a bit suspicious at first, wanting to make sure I was not tricking him, but I started ranting about how I was not going to get any kind of an award for getting Liz, no one had even said good job. I went on and on about nothing, that I was way under appreciated, and now I had major hospital bills, and the extra money would come in handy. Bower said he would get back to me. I played it cool for a couple of days. I had to keep all of this from you, and that was so hard. There was just no way that I was going to get you involved”. Nate looked at her. ‘You didn’t think you could trust me?” he asked. CD shook her head. “It wasn’t that, just that it would just be easier if you didn’t know. Look, nobody knew we were personally involved until right before I left, and believe me, I got into trouble for that. As far as the Chief knew, you and I were just partners. Since you were going to be working a lot with the others anyway while I was out, it would be easy for me to do things on my own.” Nate remembered that. In the first couple of months after CD had come back, it seemed like she always had something to do for Kate, or interrogations. She rarely had gone out on calls with him. At the time, it hadn't seemed strange to him. He had figured that CD was just trying to take it nice and slow while recovering from her injuries.gunshot wound. “ I hated keeping this from you. It was always so hard whenever we were together to not say anything, but I knew deep down it was for your safety. I kept thinking it would be over soon, and life could get back to normal.” CD moved to a chair closer to Nate. Prescott laid down the rules. He still wanted me to be a “good cop”, so I was still able to do my job without jeopardizing any cases. Mostly, he just wanted information now and then. Only Kate and the Chief knew what I was doing. I was in touch with them constantly, mostly through secret email accounts that we thought were secure. I saw Bower whenever he wanted, giving him whatever he wanted. I was always wearing some sort of mike, hoping to get him to admit to something big that we could nail him on.” CD stopped again, waiting to see if Nate would say anything. “Did you have to be ‘involved’ with him?” Nate asked. CD nodded, hoping Nate would not ask for details. “I hated it, but it was part of the job.” Nate go up and started pacing. “I just don’t understand why you couldn’t say anything to me. I wouldn’t have blown your cover, and maybe I could have helped.” CD shook her head. “I couldn’t do that, Nate. I had to keep you out of it as much as possible. Bower knew I was seeing you and wasn’t happy about it. I told him it was all part of my cover.” CD shook her head. “Then things went wrong.” Nate sat down again. Tears were falling down on CD’s face. “What happened?” he asked quietly. He really could not believe what he was hearing. “The Chief found out there was a mole on the force, keeping track of me. This person had managed to find our email accounts and Bower then knew I was undercover. That phone call I got the day I left was from the Chief. I went to meet him and Kate to figure out what to do. There were credible threats being made against me, and you. Kate was ticked. She could not believe that I had not told them I was personally involved with you. They figured the best thing was for me to go underground until they could catch Bower. The idea was to leak information to the mole and wait for Bower to come after me. I asked them about you. The Chief said they would keep an eye on you, but he really thought that Bower would spend all of his efforts on finding me. So, I made it look like I was leaving you for good. We were always trying to stay two steps ahead of Bower, while trying to catch him. We finally did, last month. FBI agents attempted to arrest him, but he attacked back, and was killed. I talked to the Chief about coming back. Even though I messed up by not telling anyone about you, the Chief was impressed with my work. I got a promotion and I am now Captain of the Missing Persons Division.” CD sat down closer to Nate. “I know that you must be angry, and maybe confused about all of this, but please know one thing. I never stopped loving you, all I could think about was getting this guy so I could come home again. I never wanted to hurt you.”

Nate got up again, his mind reeling. Of all the scenarios that had run through his mind why CD left, this never came to mind. He could not believe that he hadn’t known that CD was undercover. How could he not know? He needed time to think about this. Part of him wanted to throw his arms around CD and never let go.


Okay, I am headed out of town. Will be back Sunday!
