It had been almost a year since the disappearance of one short, petite brown-haired Kurt Hummel. And even Sue Sylvester was feeling the loss, but not as much as Noah Puckerman, Burt Hummel and Shelby Corkran. The three loved Kurt. Once Puck exposed Quinn to Shelby and child services, Kurt had joined the two in watching Beth and caring for her.
Puck had gone straight from graduating to the Police Academy, he was already a decorated officer because of his first day on the job he took three bullets into his leg stopping a robbery. Because of the three bullets Puck's leg was damaged. The muscles had so much scar tissue that Puck lost all feeling in his leg, and also, his leg was so damaged that he lost several movements in his leg, occasionally his leg would even lock up.
Puck and Shelby did have a romantic relationship for a while, but it ended quickly, and now they simply lived together so Beth could have a relationship with her father and her mom. The two of them lived with Beth and lived simple lives.

Three years later and Puck had been promoted to detective, then to special agent. Shelby was able to open her own music school and Beth was just starting preschool. Life was perfect; the pair had a picket fence, a child that loved them, and had great jobs. And even though Puck would still, on occasion, called himself Puckzilla or Puckasuaras, and Shelby and him were not a couple, the two couldn't be happier. Actually Shelby finally told Puck about her love for a man named Mark and Puck finally admitted he was gay, if not bisexual.
The two were in the best years of their lives. Until the Lima Killer came out of nowhere, Puck was assigned to the case. And then the FBI contacted Lima Police and explained that not only was the killer known nationwide, but the that they believed that he was the same Cardiff Killer of the early 2000s. The killer in all instances shared the exact same details, and no copy cat or group killing was that spot on.

"So in conclusion, the UN is going to send one of its best agents that is known for stopping several things that could've been the end of us." The suit said.
Puck rolled his eyes, "And this special Agent is going to work with me?"
"Yeah, Puckerman!" the Chief said, "And this Agent is gonna tell you what to do!"
"But Chief," Puck interjected angrily, "he hasn't got seniority here."
"Well he does now kid." The suit said, "His name is Angel Vaughn and he is on his way now."
"Now, Puckerman, I expect you to respect this kid, he has done a lot for our country." Chief commanded.
"This isn't fair! I don't want to spend my spare time explaining to some suit about our ways." Puck yelled angrily.
"Don't worry Puck, you won't have to show me around town. I am quite familiar with Lima, hell it's my home town." A new voice, yet a very recognizable voice said smoothly.
Puck turned to see one very grown up Kurt Hummel with a smirk on his face.
"Kurt." Puck meant to say the other males name, but it came out as a whisper.
"Puck." The boy rolled his eyes, "Are we going to stand here or are you going to call everyone we know so I can explain this whole thing?"
Puck jumped up and grabbed Kurt roughly by the arm and drug him out of the conference room.
"What the hell, Puckerman!" Kurt yanked his arm from Puck's hand, "You're lucky Will isn't here!"
Kurt turned on Puck.
"We all thought you were dead!" Puck yelled, "You vanished four years ago! Had us-"
"Look I would like to only explain this once, so shut up and tell everyone to meet you a Breadstix in an hour. I've got to go to my hotel, freshen up, contact my partner, and honestly it's a little hard to face everyone again." Kurt said
"Well no shoot!" Puck said, "They thought you were dead!"
"But you didn't." Kurt said so quietly that if Puck hadn't been staring at those lips, he really wouldn't have caught it.
"What?" Puck was confused.
"Every once and a while I hack into some surveillance videos, whenever you're at my 'gravestone' you speak to me as if you're just talking to me on the phone." Kurt explained, then he smiled slightly then looked up and Puck, "You're body language shows it."
Puck was speechless as he thought what Kurt said, "No I didn't."
"Why?" Kurt asked stepping closer to Puck.
"Because Kurt Hummel, does not just up and die, Kurt Hummel does not get kidnapped, and no kidnapper would handle Kurt because you'd just make them go shopping with you." Puck said looking at Kurt, "You're Kurt Hummel. You're not that easy."
Kurt smiled, "Thank you." Kurt hugged the other man and then turned on his heel, "Breadstix, six, under the name Vaughn. And please, don't tell anyone." Kurt walked out of the building and was quick to his hotel.

Puck sat in the private room with the entire high school Glee Club, including the members of Trouble Tones. Sue Sylvester, Burt Hummel, Will Shuster, and Shelby were discussing why Puck had said to come as soon as they could. The rest of the group was simply talking about their days at work. Luckily everyone was home because it was actually the anniversary of Kurt's disappearance, and soon, it would become the anniversary of his reappearance. Beth started to through a fit and ended up hitting Shelby in the face. The group froze when they heard a stern and all too familiar voice scold the child.
"Beth Susan Corkran, you do not treat your mother like that, apologize now or I won't buy you any dessert!"
The group turned to the entrance of the private room to see a mirror image of the countertenor that had gone missing in his senior year of high school.
"Kurt?" Mercedes stood on shaky legs her now petite, tiny form looking fragile.
"Hey, 'Cedes." Kurt smiled shyly at his high school best friend
"KURT!" She squealed as she practically lunged over the table attacking the boy with hugs and kisses. The girl was soon followed by an ecstatic Burt whose true emotions couldn't be put into words, and Carol, a teary eyed Rachel Berry, and a non-stop smiling Shelby. Kurt hugged them all back eagerly.
"Did Puck find you?" Asked Shelby holding onto Kurt
"You could say that." Kurt replied.
"Uncle Kurt!" Screamed Beth jumping into the unprepared mans arms.
"Beth," Kurt was shocked, "knows me."
"Believe it or not Kurt, her first words were, 'Where's Second Daddy?'" Puck announced, "We kept asking her what she meant and finally she screamed your name and cried when we said we didn't know."
Kurt whipped away a tear. "Second Daddy?" He asked in a whisper.
Shelby smiled.
After Kurt hugged everyone twice then hugged his dad, Shelby, and Sue once again.
When the group sat Kurt looked at everyone.
"I'll do my best to answer any questions you have." He stated
Mercedes was first, "What happened?"
Kurt laughed a bit, "I got caught."
"What do you mean Kurt?" asked Will.
"Well, you know I was pretty good with computers, right?" Kurt asked and everyone nodded, "Yeah well the government, China, Russia, the UK and the Middle East did to…when I hack all of them in about, oh, three to five minutes." Kurt said, "At first I was just doing it to get money, in order to support the arts in case Sue won. Then I started to have fun, in fact, the WW3 crisis was due to me reactivating certain nukes in certain areas. The US found out, taught me several martial arts styles, and I became an agent with a license to kill. The government, then, decide it wasn't so smart to have a world class hacker on their hands with a license to kill. So I was turned over to the UN.
The US action to offer my services to the UN was the first of many. I am part of an elite team of agents to eliminate any threat to the majority of the free nations. My partner, Willow, is a world class thief, and is one hell of an undercover. We work together the most, Willow has an act for getting info, I have an act for getting info and the others a pretty fantastic too. And I would have written or called. But you would have been in danger, which is why I changed my bio, my name, and my credentials beyond that." Kurt explained.
The group burst out laughing thinking he was joking.
"He is serious you know." A new voice said.
"Hey Wills." Kurt said without looking.
"Taylor?" Mercedes said shocked.
"Hey big sis, haven't seen you since they separated us during WP." The red-headed boy said, "Don't worry 'bout that Mafia boss though, Kurt took care of him."
Kurt hushed the boy, "Wills, we can't talk about our cases, even when they have to do with family."
"What, she knew I was a government agent, and since I would've showed anyway, she'd connect the dots!" Willow said
"So it's true Kurt," Mercedes asked, "a-and, that man is dead."
"Yeah, Ava," Kurt smiled, "you can go home."
