Chapter 1: The Incident
Colby sat at his desk, trying to concentrate on the case they had been working on. He just couldn't stay focused with his heart's desire working so close to him. Colby threw his hands up in frustration and closed his eyes.
"Colby!" Colby turned around and saw Don at the door of the conference room. Colby got up and walked into the conference room. When he entered the room, he saw his best friend trying to help his crush of two years. Colby couldn't help but stare and feel a pang of jealously rise in him. Yet he made sure that he didn't let his emotions get the best of him, so he wouldn't give his secret away. What he didn't know was that someone had seen the longing look in his eyes.
Great Colby thought Here we go again Charlie's explaining something mathematical that I have no clue about. Don't get me wrong I'm glad he's around helping us solve these cases but damn can he explain it in plain English. But I have to admit he looks really cute when he's trying to figure out an equation to help us solve the case. Colby could hear David explaining how he played a part in the equation, Colby unknowingly frowned. Man get a hold of yourself Colby thought Stop being stupid…Argh…stop being jealous of your best friend.
"Granger!" Don yelled causing Colby to jump.
"Huh..what," Colby responded shaking his thoughts.
"Let's go," David said clasping his shoulder.
In less than an hour they caught the suspects and were back at the office. Charlie had his back to the door pretending to be looking at his calculations. Meanwhile outside the conference room, the team was somewhat celebrating even though they had a "minor" complication.
-------------------------------------------------------------------Flashback---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don and other agents were at the front of the warehouse. While David and Colby each perimeter the back of the warehouse. Don had given the signal to enter the warehouse. Colby was entering through the back, with his gun out and cautiously looking around. With all the commotion, Colby never heard someone come behind him and before he knew it everything went black. Just when Don and David thought everything was over things turned for the worst.
"Agent Eppes," Jordan Pike, the second in command of the operation they just busted, yelled. "I would be careful with your next move." Pike came out.
Megan and Charlie stayed in the office, watching everything unfold. Megan gasped and Charlie's heart nearly stopped. There on the screen stood Colby with a gun to his head. Don, David and the others agents there had their weapons out.
"Pike don't be stu…."Colby started but was cut off as Pike applied more pressure.
"Shut up!"
"Don just shoot his ass," Colby yelled and winced as Pike moved the gun to his neck.
"No Colby we'r…" Don started his gun up and pointing it at Pike. This confrontation went on for a while everyone was yelling.
"Just do it!" Colby yelled.
"No we…" Don and David said.
"Shut…" before Pike could finish a shot was heard.
Colby shut his eyes thinking his life was over.
"No!" Don and David yelled, as Megan and Charlie did the same at the office. Charlie unconsciously fell to the floor, believing that his hidden love had just been killed. Everyone held their breath, Colby slowly opened his eyes realizing that he still could hear, feel, and breath. He heard footsteps and looked up to see Don and David hovering above him.
Megan gasped again and looked at Charlie. "Charlie…Charlie he's ok, he's ok," she shook his shoulder. Charlie opened his eyes and looked at the scene and saw Colby on the floor with David and Don standing above him.
-----------------------------------------End of Flashback--------------------------------------------------------------
Now Charlie tried really hard to get control of his emotions. I almost lost him. Charlie thought as he felt the tears tugging his eyes. I know I should tell him but I can't. Damn it why can't I. Charlie was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't hear the door open nor the footsteps that followed.
While everyone was outside, Colby noticed that Charlie hadn't come out of the conference room, so he decided to go check on him.
Colby was right behind Charlie, and Colby was surprised that Charlie hadn't noticed his presence in the room. Colby reached over and placed his hand on Charlie's shoulder, Charlie jumped a bit.
"Charlie?" Colby asked concern clear in his voice, Charlie's eyes widen recognizing the voice
O my God he's right here Charlie thought.
"Are you…" Colby started but was cut off as Charlie wrapped his arms around him and hugged him. "Ok?" Colby finished a bit confuse but he couldn't deny he loved having Charlie so close to him. He's…He's…hugging me Colby thought.
Charlie's mind hadn't been working properly and on impulse he hugged Colby. O my I'm hugging Colby. I can't believe it. When Charlie's brain finally processed what he was doing, he quickly let go. Colby tried to hide the fact that he hated and didn't want to let go of Charlie.
What do I tell him…Think Charlie think make up something. "Sorry," Charlie said looking down a bit.
"For what?" Colby asked tilting his head a bit.
"About what just…"Charlie said rubbing the back of his neck.
"Uh..yea don't worry," Colby cut in trying to hide his emotions.
" I just thought you were Don," Charlie lied as he looked at Colby.
"Oh" was all that Colby managed to say as he felt a pang in his heart. They stayed silent for a while. Damn you're so stupid Colby why…what in your right mind made you think…no believe that he would like you or even roll the way you do.
Whew…that was close I just hope he bought that.
The silence was broken when Colby said that they should go back to the others. Charlie nodded in agreement. As they headed out the door, they both silently prayed that no one had seen the incident. Little did they know that a certain spiky haired agent saw the whole thing and he smiled slightly to himself.
