Thanks for the people that took the time to review.

Again I don't own cw batb.

Thoughts are in bold :)

Vincent POV

I'll never get use to the heat in this desert. Although at night, it wasn't so bad, a little cool sometimes actually, which made falling asleep bearable. One more day down, a little closer to going home. I really don't know what home is anymore since I don't really have anyone, well except JT.

I walked back in to my tent when I noticed my mail had been delivered. I shifted through them quickly and noticed that they were mostly junk mail. I didn't even get through the stack since I was extremely exhausted and all I want is some sleep.

It can all wait till the morning.

I laid down on my bed and as much as I wanted to fall right to asleep, my body just wasn't letting me. I went ahead and looked through my mail next to my bed and I notice a small yellow package underneath it all.

What the ...

I looked it over and searched for the senders name.

Catherine Chandler , New York

Images of all of my friends and family flashed through my mind, coming up empty of who this Catherine could be. My eyes darted to the middle of the envelope to make sure it was addressed to me, and there, in an elegant script, was my name. Lieutenant Vincent Keller.

Curiosity got the best of me so I grabbed my pocket knife and carefully opened it and as soon as I did, a small bag of cookies fell on my lap along with a folded letter. The smell of fresh cookies filled my small space and I am now salivating. I didn't know who or why these were sent but I wanted to make sure it was safe so I decided to read the letter first. My nervous hands were shaking as I unfolded the letter and I looked around to make sure that no one else was around.

Vincent,

Hi. My name is Catherine. I know you dont know me but you do know my friend, Jt. Before you think im a psycho or a crazy stalker, please trust that im not.

I couldn't help but grin and chuckled. And knowing Jt, he has something to do with her writing me because he's always saying I need to make friends.

He is the one that gave me your info, so you can blame him if I scared or freaked you out. If this doesnt freak you out and we become friends in the process, lets not tell him because I dont need another "I told you" so from him. I do have to admit that he does worry about you a lot and well I can imagine it can get lonely out there.

I like this girl. I needed to remind myself to thank JT.

Well if you're still reading and haven't thrown this away, I might as well tell you something about myself. I am 21 years old. I attend NYU where I'm finishing my degree in law. I work as a bartender at a bar to help pay for school. Although my parents pretty much pay for everything, I feel the need to help as much as I can. I have a younger sister that drives me crazy but I love to death. There is not a whole lot else to tell you about me. I love to read and run. Both serves an escape for me . I know you must be jealous of my kick ass life. :)

I couldn't help but laugh at that last line. This girl sure was interesting. Don't think I've laughed or smiled in a while.

Oh yeah, before I forget. I added a dozen chocolate chip cookies as well. I hope you like those because I'd have to say, the ones I sent were the best batch I've ever made. If you don't like them you can pass it along.

I forgot about those. I reached over and opened the zip lock bag and started munching on them. Best cookies I've ever had. Again thanks Jt.

If you do plan on writing back, please tell me about yourself and let me know if you want me to send you something else ... Magazines, books etc. But most of all, tell me something humiliating about Mr. Jt Forbes.

Thanks for all that you are doing out there for our country.

Your potential friend,

Catherine.

P.S. Always keep a smile on your face.

I don't know what Jt did to make her write to me but I'm glad he did. As i pop the last cookie in my mouth, I read the letter one more time and I couldn't decide if I should respond or not. I mean I don't know this girl, and how much of a friend can I really be if I'm so far away.

what do you guys think so far? Should he write back? What will he say? Please let me know :)

I've always wondered what would happen if they met in different circumstances.
