A/N: I can't leave you hanging there for that long. I'm gonna focus on this story until I have about five chapters up. I'll still work on my others, I'll just work on this one more. No real summary, so here's the story!
Disclaimer: I own Natalie. I suggest checking out my profile for the actress I want her to look like.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Natalie raced home on her motorcycle. She ran up the stairs to her apartment and straight into her bathroom. She pulled on her short Silence&Noise slash dress and her We Who See buckled wedges. She swiped on a thick black line of eyeliner over each eye and put on bright red Outlast lipstick. She grabbed her ID and put it in her handbag. She raced back out the door and down the stairs to her motorcycle. She was at the bar in record time and her parking spot was open. One more month of working here She thought as she walked through the door.
"Nat!" Her boss and best friend, Brigid, ran over to her. "Hey! I thought you weren't coming tonight!" She said.
"I got caught up at work. Guy came in, really cute. NYPD, CSI. He took me to meet his friends and I saw some of my old ones too." Natalie said as she stepped behind the bar.
"Awesome! Well, the regs are here and there are some NYPDs on your side." Brigid said, winking.
"Well, I'll go see if one of 'em's my guy!" Natalie said, walking over to her regs first. She took their orders and walked over to the officers at the end of the bar. "Hello boys!" She said.
"Natalie?" Two of them asked.
"Oh, Sheldon, Danny, I didn't expect to see you here! Whatchya want?" She asked.
"To know what you're doing here." Sheldon said.
"You don't have to keep tabs on me! I work here three times a week here, at night. I need the extra money to pay off my apartment." Natalie explained.
"Okay. Um, we aren't here for drinks. We got a case involving a Brigid Wilsons." Sheldon said, consulting his notepad.
"Okay, let me go get her." Natalie said walking away. "Brigid! Some of the guys need to talk to you." She said, walking into the back. "Brigee?" She walked over to Brigid's locker. There was a note on it.
Nat,
You've probably already heard, NYPD is looking for me. I've committed a crime of passion. If you're a friend, don't turn me in.
I'm staying with my cousin and dealer. I hope you don't turn me in.
I'm sorry,
Brigid
"Oh, God." Was all Natalie said before she rushed out to Sheldon and Danny. "Sheldon! You need to come back here. No need for the guns but you need to read a note she left." She said.
"Okay, we're coming. Did you bring your gun and badge?" He asked.
"Yeah, never leave me, why?"
"Just in case." He said walking into the back, behind Natalie with Danny on his tail. They walked into the locker room and Sheldon directed Danny to go get his kit and to call Don and Jess.
"I-I-I have no clue what happened! I saw her when I got here, and there wasn't anything really off about her." Natalie said as Sheldon dusted the note for prints after swiping it for drugs. "She-she does coke and meth. I-she isn't bad though. I've never seen her hurt anyone! I-I've seen her threaten the guys at the bar for groping at women but never... I haven't even seen her hurt a fly. Kill Johnny?!" Natalie looked like she was about to burst out crying.
"Natalie, I need you to do the raid with us, since you're the only one who knows where she lives." Sheldon said calmly, trying to calm the woman.
"Okay. I want answers from her anyway." She said.
"You'll have to watch interrogation from the two-way, if Mac let's you." Sheldon said.
"Whatever! I don't have a vest." She realized.
Don and Jess came in. "Why do you think I brought an extra?" Jess said.
"Thanks Jess, and sorry about what I said earlier." Natalie said, pulling the vest on and strapping her badge to the front. "We going?" She asked, four heads nodded. "Then let's go!"
When they got to the address, Natalie and Jess led the team to Brigid's cousin's door. "Brigid Wilsons, NYPD!" Jess banged on the door and she and Natalie stood in front of the door, guns ready. Brigid's cousin opened the door and Jess and Natalie ran in the door guns raised.
"Clear!" Came a call from the bathroom.
"Clear!" Came a call from the extra bedroom.
"NYPD!" Jess kicked in the bedroom door and Brigid was laying on the bed, a syringe in her hand. There were clearly visible track marks on the insides of her elbows and in between her toes. "Brigid, put down the syringe, and come with us. If you confess, you can get less than life." Jess tried to coax Natalie's friend to going downtown with them.
"Brigid. I know you, and I know what you did, but...You can't do this to yourself. You work with me, you'd never hurt anyone unless they deserved it. Brigid, please, let us help you." Natalie took Brigid and had Jess cuff her. Jess read her her rights as they went down to the car.
Brigid looked at Natalie before she was shoved in the squard car. "Bitch."
Natalie stood there with her mouth wide open. Sheldon walked up behind her. "She's the bitch. C'mon, let's get you home." He said.
"But what about the interrogation?!" Natalie asked.
"I'll have Danny fill you in. Your Loo says I'm in charge of you for the night because of what happened." He said, taking her to her motorcycle.
"I-I can't drive tonight. I'm sorry. Just, can you take me home?" She asked, leaning into him, loving the feel of his skin against hers.
"Sure, what's the address?"
