Lost

Ch1

Dana and Monica had been together, happily, for over six months when Monica flew into Dana's one evening
"Dana I've been offered a fantastic opportunity, and I'm thinking ill take it but I'm running it past you first"
She was so excited and full of energy about it
"ok, what Dana's it?" asks Dana
"well Its going into a new occult that are apparently stealing animals for sacrifices and abusing children. Some guy turned up saying he wants it stopped but we need proof so they want me to go in with this member to get evidence of it to close it down"
Dana just nods, scared how this could end, could Monica really do this?
"Dana I knew you weren't going to like it but I've worked so many cases but with no prosecution but this is a guaranteed one but to go in as a member to get it is amazing"
Still nothing from Dana, she wants to beg her not to go but knows its something Monica is very passionate about and she can't stop her neway, they've only been together just over six months its not her place to.
"Ok well I'm going, ill make the call unless you speak out now?"
Nothing
"ok, ill be back in a minute"
And she walks outside the door. Dana slumps on the sofa, she needs to know details and times. She's going to miss her so much; she missed her enough when she woke in bed alone in the morning. The door opens
"its set I'm going"
"Monica, please come sit" says Dana a little sad
"you can't stop me going now"
"I'm not, I know your passionate about all this so I won't stop you, I can't neway, its not my place to"
"you could of? I'd of listened to you"
"but its only been six months so I have no place to stop you"
Monica touches Dana's cheek
"you do and I would of listened. Six months isn't long but I've known you longer. And I know you'd mean it in my best interests"
"I would of but its fine. Neway details, when you going?"
"Two days time"
"right, where are you going?"
"Mexico"
"how long roughly for?"
Monica bites her lip,
"up to six months"
"six months? I've got to go without you for six months? What am I going to do?"
"well if you want to we can split and see what's happening when I return" say Monica sadly
"no way, I love you and I am not splitting from you, no way. Ill manage, somehow"
"your sure cos..."
"I'm sure"
She spins around and pushes Monica onto her back on the sofa,
"I love you too" says Monica and pulls her into her lips.

The next two day and nights they spent every moment together, making the most of their time together before she goes off.
On the last night they laid in bed,
"I'm going to miss you" says Monica
"ill miss you too"
They kiss,
"once I leave here tomorrow I'm no longer Monica so I'm no longer your partner. That's Monica, ill be Jenny in Monica's body"
"I know, its fine. Moms over tomorrow evening and night neway so ill be occupied with her and skinners promised a movie night"
"but you ill think of you all the time"

They wake in the morning Monica showers while Dana makes breakfast, then she showers
"am I still dropping you at the office?" Dana asks praying it's a yes
"please, if that's ok with you"
"yes of course. I want to"
Monica strolls up to her and pins her against the work top
"I know your scared but I am coming back. Back to you, to us"
she kisses her, then holds her
"I love you Dana"
"I love you too"
She pulls back
"will you hold something for me while I'm gone?"
"Yeah what?"
Monica reaches into her pocket and pulls out her keys, puts them on the side then pulls out a necklace.
"this" she hands it over
Dana looks at it in her hand
"its my charms, I can't take anything with me but I can't trust just anyone with it"
As Dana looks she sees a beautiful white stone ring on it
"this" Monica says pointing to the ring "is yours when I get back"
"why?"
"as I love you and I want you to have it. Once I'm back"
They kiss,
"thank you. Can I wear it around my neck? Keep you close"
"of course you can. I just didn't think it was your thing"
"its yours so ill wear it" smiles Dana
"ok, thanks for agreeing to hold it for me, come here"
She takes the necklace, undoes it and gently places it around Dana's neck
"I am right here, everyday, night, morning till I come back"

they sit and eat but Dana's not hungry, she feels very sick.
"Come on wed better go" says Monica
"ok"
The car journey is quiet. As they pull up Dana sees a short, stocky man, in a grey suit looking around.
"that's agent Phillips, he's in charge of the operation" says Monica
"oww ok" replies Dana
Monica gets out
"come on out Dana"
She reluctantly does
"agent Phillips this is Dana sully, my partner"
He reaches out his hand
"pleased to meet you, I've heard lots about you"
Dana just nods,
"right ill head on in so you can say your goodbyes" he says and turns away
This hits Dana hard, saying goodbye she hadn't anticipated saying goodbye
"come here then Dana" she pulls her into her arms
"you ok?"
She shakes her head
"Dana were not saying goodbye, were saying see you later and I love you"
"I know, its just hard"
Monica moves down and kisses her, strongly, passionately,
"I love you. I promise as soon as it's over ill call you"
"I love you too"
"I'd better go in. See you later"
One last kiss and Monica walks off, pulling her hand as she walks out of Dana's grip, soon it slipped away.
Dana just stood watching her catch up with agent Phillips and walk inside. She can't move, she can't let her slip out of sight, suddenly she feels a hand on her shoulder, she swings around to see skinner
"hi Dana, you ok?"
She doesn't answer
"come on, she'll be ok. Tough as nails is Monica"
Still she just stands there, she feels tears brewing
"are you alone tonight?"
"No moms over for the next two days"
"ok, well let me know when you want to do something. I'm seeing Doggett tomorrow; he's worried about Monica too. Maybe we could all go out one evening"
"that'd be nice. I'm off; can I maybe call you later?"
"Course but your with mom"
"yeah but she don't understand about me and Monica. You sure its ok?"
"its fine, I'm always here for you"
"see you later"
And she gets into the car.
