Dark Ties

Hello, my fellow readers. It is I, the great James Stryker bringing you a new story for you and this time it's for the One Tree Hill category and the Naley fandom. I love Naley a lot. They're like the Rucas of One Tree Hill but Naley is much cuter, not trying to put down Rucas I still love Rucas. Heck, a few people request that I make a Naley/Rucas story. I will do that but in the meantime, I want to start on this one since I've been binging on One Tree Hill on Netflix and I'm on season three now. In this story, Haley James, a beautiful young and intrepid female reporter for The Washington Sun falls for Nathan Scott, a handsome and dashing businessman. But unknown to Haley is that the man she's in love with is an assassin for the CIA codenamed "Raven", who's assigned to kill her after she uncovers a plot involving the CIA deputy director and a Colombian drug cartel. Now, before you read this story, it is rated M for language, sexual content and violence. There will be a couple of sex scenes between Nathan and Haley later on in the story. P.S. I do not own One Tree Hill or the characters. If I did, then I would be a millionaire. So here it is, I present to you chapter one of Dark Ties. Enjoy.

Chapter One

The Reporter

"James, in my office." A man wearing a light blue dress shirt with a mustache and dark hair with a bit of grey in it called out in the busy offices of The Washington Sun.

Haley James was sitting in her office typing up her story from last week for the paper. Her assignment was about a businessman caught with his hands in the cookie jar. And by that, he was caught doing some pretty shady activity. The businessman was involved in prostitution, money laundering and extortion. Haley chewed on her pen as she was typing up the finishing touches on her assignment. Haley was known to be a tough-as-nails, bad-ass beat reporter who gets the job done. The youngest daughter of the late Jimmy and Lydia James and the youngest sister of Vivian, Taylor and Quinn James. Haley was once married to musician Chris Keller and had a child, a son by the name of James "Jamie" Keller, who was born on June 13th, 2007 in Tree Hill, North Carolina. Chris and Haley's marriage ended back in 2010 because of his career and being away from his wife and son. Haley and her son Jamie moved to Washington D.C. after Haley was offered an internship at The Washington Star.

"Haley, the chief wants to see you." One of Haley's co-workers said to her.

"And done." Haley said as she finished typing up her story. Haley got up from her desk and left her office before printing out her story, making her way through the bullpen and the crowd of journalists who were working on their stories. Haley opened the door to her boss' office and stepped inside.

"You wanted to see me, Mr. McGovern?" Haley asked.

"Yeah. Sit down, Haley." McGovern said as Haley made her way towards his desk and sat down in the chair. "So, how's everything?"

"Well, pretty good. Sir." Haley said.

"How's your son, Jamie? Is he doing alright?" McGovern asked, sipping his coffee.

"Jamie is doing great. He's going to spend the week with his father. He's taking him to Tennessee and Chicago." Haley said.

"That's great to hear." McGovern said.

"I know. Plus, he's going to be starting the 5th grade this year. I can't believe that time's flying by." Haley said.

"Yeah." McGovern said. "I've heard what you've been doing about this whole debacle involving Martin Trask. I can't believe that he would embezzle money from his own company."

"Well, he's no wolf of Wall Street. I was finishing up the story and I'm printing it out right now before I meet my sister Quinn for lunch. She's trying to get over her divorce with her ex-husband." Haley said.

"If you want, then maybe I could set Quinn up with a friend of mine." McGovern said.

"I don't think so. She'll think that the guy is a psycho or something." Haley laughed.

"Anyway, you heard about what's going on in the news, correct?" McGovern asked.

"Yeah. The U.S. Coast Guard patrol boat intercepted a yacht in the Caribbean Sea. Turns out the two men who were on the yacht killed a man and his family. But here's the thing, the man was involved in some money laundering scheme with the Colombian drug cartel." Haley said.

"Jesus." McGovern said. "Why was he involved?"

"I have no clue. But I will find out." Haley said.

"Always the bad-ass. You know, you're turning into Murphy Brown. Well, you're like Murphy Brown." McGovern said.

"Except I don't have Dan Quayle breathing down my neck. At least we have President Robert Ryan. Thank God, Trump didn't win." Haley laughed and felt her phone vibrating in her pocket, pulling it out only to see that her sister Quinn is calling. "Sorry, sir. It's my sister, I've got to take this."

"Go ahead." McGovern said as Haley answered her phone.

"Hello?" Haley answered. "Hey, Quinny. Sure, we're still on for lunch. Oh, you've got to be joking. Taylor's joining us for lunch. Well, that's great. Remind to try to not to strangle her while we're eating. Okay. I guess I'll see you at Chandler's. Alright, sis. Love you too. Bye."

"Was that Quinn?" McGovern asked.

"Yeah. Turns out that my other sister Taylor is joining us. Did I mention that Taylor's the slutty one in the family?" Haley joked.

"Let me guess, she tried to sleep with your ex-husband?" McGovern asked.

"Yeah." Haley nodded as she got up from her seat. "After, my story is finished printing up, I'll give it to you so it could be published then I'll be heading on my way to Chandler's. I might get the pub platter."

"Have fun." McGovern said as Haley leaves the office.

And that was chapter one of Dark Ties. So, what did you think of the first chapter? I had to introduce Haley first before I introduce you to Nathan. Next time, on Dark Ties, Taylor and Quinn talk to Haley about her job and going back into the dating scene. Then, we meet CIA agent Nathan Scott who's on an assignment in Denver, Colorado to assassinate the leader of the Freedom Fighters. Don't worry, there will be some villains in the story that will try to kill Nathan and Haley. We'll meet the mysterious Shadow Client who has some sort of link to Nathan. Plus, he's a mysterious assassin who will also try to kill Haley. Don't forget to review this story, add this to your favorites and follow it for future updates. Also, I'll be working on this story and I will try to update Juliet's World, Her Protector II: The Guardian, Return to Riverdale and The Blood of Family every day if I'm not tired from work. Aside from this Naley story, I will write some Naley one-shots for all of you Naley fans. I'll see you guys next time for chapter two of Dark Ties. Till next time my fellow readers.
