Going Fast
Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to OTH which sucks but I'll live with watching the hotties on TV.
New story, but I might not work on it much more. The idea came to me but I don't know if I'll be able to write more about it- I got writers block about it. Let me know what you think and what you think should happen- those help me a lot. R&R please.
Chapter 1:
Haley started to sit behind her desk at the FBI. Since sophomore year in college Haley had been working for the FBI. All of her missions had been undercover ones- mainly to get a guy to talk by any means necessary, and she succeeded in all of them. Even though she was one of the youngest agents in the FBI, she was respected since she had a good reputation and didn't let her undercover work hurt her professionally.
It was early morning and Haley a meeting with Brian Durham (or Whitey as he liked to be called) who was the one who assigned FBI agents to undercover missions. Haley had her stuff ready and went to Whitey's office, and knocked on his door.
"Come in." Whitey called.
"Sir, you wanted to see me?" Haley said sitting down in a chair in front of his desk.
"Yes, I'm giving you a new assignment." He told her. Haley nodded for him to continue.
"You're assignment is to get close to a man named Chris Keller, he's known for drug trafficking, and smuggling weapons among other things." He said handing Haley a folder. She didn't look at it yet; she'd wait until the meeting was over and then look at its contents as a sign of respect to Whitey.
"I have given this a lot of thought and I think you're the best for the job, since you still have that 'innocent girl' look. As it stands all we know is that he's into fast girls and even faster cars, and since we can't prove anything we can't arrest him. That is where you come in. I heard that you used to race when you were younger." Whitey said.
Haley nodded, "In high school I did." Haley confirmed.
Whitey said, "Now the only way we've been able to get anything from this guy has been through drag racing. I need you to go undercover and get a confession or some proof that will send this guy to jail." Whitey informed her.
"Sir, no offence but I haven't raced in over three years, a lot has probably changed since I raced." Haley said.
"That is why I'm assigning you a partner, a civilian, who also races and will get you into Keller's circle." Whitey told her, his tone leaving no room for an argument. "He owns an auto body shop and you'll be working with him there, since Keller often gets his cars fixed there. You'll be a new girl, and looking for a way to make some easy cash." Whitey informed her leaving out details so that she could make up her own story.
"Everything you need to know is in that file, your partner will be here shortly and after a briefing you'll both go back to his home town- Tree Hill. Any questions?" He asked.
"How do you know this guy is clean? And won't tell Keller?" Haley asked.
"He lost his last girlfriend to Keller six months ago because she overheard something he didn't want known. On the way to the cops, she suddenly had car problems." Whitey explained. "He feels guilty, and wants payback. He's been working with us for awhile now, but can't get any real proof for us."
"I grew up near Tree Hill, he might recognize me." Haley said.
"Then play on it. Use it to your advantage." Whitey told her.
"When will my partner he be arriving?" Haley asked.
"Ten sharp. We need to work out a few things first before you leave." Whitey said and Haley stood up and held the file, "I'll be there," She said and left his office.
As she started to walk towards her desk she flipped through the file, 'Tree Hill' she thought, 'I haven't thought of that place since he left me there.' She thought as she skimmed the pages not really reading it or she would have noticed the name Nathan Scott.
Instead she went back to the desk and started to dig up all the information on Keller she could. She didn't bother with packing or fake IDs or anything; her department would take care of that stuff for her. At nine she started to read and compare what the file she had versus the information she got off the internet. She was just getting to the informant's information when she noticed the time.
"Shit." She said as she grabbed all the papers put them in the file, and basically ran towards the office where the meeting was supposed to take place.
Nathan got off the plane and got a cab, his flight was a long one, the movie sucked and the airport security stopped him. So needless to say he wasn't in a very good mood when he went to see Mr. Durham with the FBI. All he had been told was that he was going to have an FBI agent accompanying him back to Tree Hill. 'What kind of FBI agent knows anything about racing? Not a one- that's who. Whoever it is will probably end up getting me killed then I'll be really pissed off.' He thought to himself as he was led into an office.
He shook hands with Mr. Durham, "Nice to meet you Mr. Scott." He said, "Do you want anything to eat or drink?" He asked.
"Actually I could go for a sandwich, the food on the plane sucked." Nathan asked, "And it's Nathan please."
"Okay and you can call me Whitey." He said as he pushed a button and asked for a sub sandwich and a couple of sodas to be brought in. "I'm glad you could make it, your partner should be arriving very soon, I thought I'd give you guys a couple of minutes to make a story and get to know each other." Whitey said. Just as he finished saying that the door opened and Nathan turned to see a beautiful girl with platinum blond hair and big brown eyes come in flipping through some papers. When she looked up and their eyes connected he realized he knew her, even though she had changed the color of her hair.
"Nathan."
"Haley."
That was the only word either of them spoke, they had forgotten that Whitey was still there until he coughed loudly.
"I'm glad you remember each other. I'll leave you two alone, to get down to business." He said and started to leave but Haley stopped him.
"You know we knew each other? Why didn't you say anything?" Haley asked a little pissed off. "I can't work with him."
"I shouldn't have had to say anything, miss James. You two have a history you use it to your advantage to do your job." Whitey said leaving no room for argument, and then he left the room through another door, since Haley had yet to step aside from the one she had entered through.
"Unbelievable." Haley muttered under her breath as she finally got use of her legs and sat down in a chair across from Nathan. He was still as hot as she remembered those blue eyes like cobalt that could make any girl beg, and he knew it then and hasn't forgotten it. He had a nice chest and Haley had a flashback of watching him play basketball, and working on his car shirtless. She wondered if the rest of him was still in as good shape as she remembered. At that thought she shook her head and tried to concentrate on her job and getting Chris Keller.
Nathan watched as she walked across the room to sit, and was very pleased to see that she took care of herself, she was tan and toned from what he could see. Even in her suit she looked amazing and Nathan tried but couldn't help it when his gaze fell to her breasts. Then her hair and he vaguely wondered why she had dyed it platinum blond, instead of keeping her natural light brown hair. It was also longer and straighter too he noticed. He was about to ask her about it but the door opened and in walked a brunette with his sub, and the sodas. Haley thanked her and took a soda she didn't open it but toyed with the rim.
After a minute of silence Nathan spoke first, "I thought you didn't like blonds?" He asked.
Haley looked at him a little confused, "Your hair." He explained.
"Oh, umm… I had to do it." Haley said and Nathan detected a little anger in her voice, however she still didn't look at him.
"So you don't like it?" Nathan asked leaning back in his chair trying to figure her out.
"Don't." Haley said finally looking up.
"Don't what?" Nathan asked.
"Don't act as if you care about me or pretend to know me, because you don't." Haley told him in a very cold tone, "I'm here because I have to and I'll be doing my job, and so should you. Nothing else matters." She informed him meeting his gaze as she said the last part.
"That's bullshit Haley and you know it." Nathan countered, "We were engaged I made a mistake so you just left me, no goodbye or anything. So it does matter, especially if we're going to be working together." Nathan told her.
"No we won't be working together. You'll introduce me to Keller then I'll do the rest, I don't want or need your help after that." Haley informed in she didn't mention anything about Anna, his fiancée, the girl he cheated on her with.
Flashback:
Haley had just gotten out of school, and was on her way home her class ran late when she noticed a crowd around a booth. Figuring she had enough time Haley went over to see what caused the scene. There were two FBI officers there that were challenging anyone who dared. Someone pushed her and she accidentally fell into the space the crowd had made for volunteers. 'What the hell' she thought as she gave then her name.
The first task was to see if how accurate the volunteers could shoot using a paintball gun using different colors. One of the FBI suits went first and was an almost bulls eye. Haley was the only girl and the last one to shoot. The four guys in front of her hit the target but no where near the bulls' eye. When Haley was handed the gun, she took aim and got a straight bull's eye beating the FBI guy. She handed him the gun with a smirk and waited to see what was next.
The second mission was to try and knock the second FBI agent off his feet. Only one guy did that before Haley did. 'This is way too easy, come on challenge me.' She thought with a smirk.
The last part was a test- and as soon as you turned it in they could go. Haley was first to leave, but before going she told them, "You guys have a very easy job." Then she walked away.
When she reached her apartment no one was there, but she didn't mind, because she needed to do her homework. Once she was done with that she started working on her car. She was fixing her radiator- which had broken in the last drag race she was in. While she was out there the FBI called and wanted to see her the next day and she agreed to meet with them.
She tried calling her high school sweetheart Nathan whose phone kept going to voicemail. The next day she was started to worry, whenever Nathan stayed out he at least called her. The day went by very slowly, and when she met with the guys for the FBI they tested her IQ and a bunch of other stuff before offering her into a training program. She declined but took their card.
She went home early and when she reached her place what she saw was her nightmare. Nathan and Rachael, who was the captain of the cheerleaders having sex on the couch that she loved. As soon as the door opened they stopped and looked up at who entered. Before anyone could say anything she ran out of there and after crying for an hour at her friend Brooke's house, she called the FBI and told them she was in. She also made Brooke swear she wouldn't say a word about where she went.
Shaking her head Haley tried to get rid of that memory. She needed to focus on her job.
"I'll go with you back to Tree Hill and pretend I'm working for you at your garage. After I meet Chris, this partnership is over." Haley informed him.
"Well if I don't get to help bring down Chris, then I'm not going to help you." Nathan said ignoring her gaze.
"If you want Chris to pay you will." Haley countered, "Just stay out of my way, and if you blow my cover I'll kick your ass." Haley informed him getting up, "I'll see you on the plane." She said as she left the room.
'This is gonna be a blast.' Nathan thought, 'I get to work with my ex, who turned into the ice queen since I last saw her, and she's gotten really hot too' He thought shifting in his seat to be more comfortable without letting his erection show. Haley was the only woman he'd been with who with one look made him hard.
"You'll never let it go will you?" Nathan asked right before she opened the door.
"Excuse me?" Haley said turning around to face him.
"You're still holding a grudge against me." Nathan stated.
"Well you did cheat on me." Haley snapped.
"It was a mistake." Nathan tried to explain but Haley cut him off.
"It was a mistake? You mistakenly had sex with someone else, and thought you'd get away with it since we were engaged?" She asked, "How many were there? How long were you cheating on me?" She asked coldly. "Never mind- I don't wanna know. I'll see you on the plane." She said before slamming the door shut behind her.
