Authors note Hello everybody, this is my first attempt at fan fiction so please go easy on me, but do review I want your opinions. If you like it I will add more chapters, I have a few more already written. The events of this story take place a few weeks after "Mr. Monk and Sharona" Of course I do not own Monk or have any affiliation with Monk aside from being an avid fan... so here we go.

Sharona Fleming new that it was going to be a good day. She was back in San Francisco and had just spent an amazing night with Randy Disher. Thinking about last night she found it hard to believe that she had made fun of him for years, sure Randy wasn't the smartest guy in the SFPD, but he was sweet, and he was good at his job. Sharona felt lucky to have him, especially after the ordeal she had went through with her ex-husband, Trevor.

Today, Sharona was going to visit her ex boss Adrian Monk. For years she had worked as his personal nurse after his wife, Trudy died. Trudy had been killed by a car bomb. Adrian was a brilliant detective, perhaps the best in the world. However he was also had OCD, and a number of phobias which made impossible for him to function in the world without help. For years after his wife died it had been Sharona who had taken care of him, during that time she both loved and resented her boss. She never had time to herself, Adrian needed her 24/7 and even with the hours she was working she was barely paid enough to pay her rent and support her son Benji. However, she also found in Adrian Monk a true friend and the most exciting job she could have imagined.

Sharona showered, dressed and left her hotel room. She was excited to be seeing Adrian again, and Natalie Teeger, the woman who had replaced her as Adrians assistant. Truth be told, Sharona really didn't like Natalie at first, but now she figured that Natalie was pretty cool. They had become pretty good friends after only meeting a few times.

Sharona stepped out of the hotel and onto the side walk, it was a beautiful day, partly sunny, about 73 degrees. As she hailed a taxi she wondered what the day would hold for her. She hoped that Adrian would be needed to work a case, she had not worked one with him, at least not willingly, in about five years. Truth be told she missed it, besides, a case would mean she would be able to see Lt. Disher again.

Sharona was about to get into the taxi when she saw a woman standing ten feet away from her, the woman looked familiar, Sharona had seen her before, but it was impossible. The only place she had seen that woman was in pictures at Adrian Monks apartment. Sharona walked towards the woman to get a closer look, hoping that she was wrong about what she was seeing, but as she stepped forward her fears were confirmed.

"You...how..." But Sharona was never answered walking forward the woman raised a gun and shot her twice in the chest. Sharona fell to the ground, the woman stood over her and fired one more shot. In a flash Sharona saw Randy Disher, her times with Adrian Monk and her son Benji, last she saw the face of the woman, a woman who was supposed to have died twelve years ago.
