Much Too High A Price

by BrownSugarC

The New Orleans NCIS team is presented with the biggest challenge of their young lives as they face the possibility of losing one of their team members. A guilt ridden Rita Devereaux rushes to 'Nola to stand beside a devastated Christopher LaSalle. Will fate and the care and concern they share for each be much too high a price for them to pay?

The Quest

Well, Rita gave me a lot to think about. I don't know if I can go back to 'there' though. I hardly slept last night. Sonja and I had fit right back into our professional mode after we talked at the cemetery and I was able to rescue her from that roof top. I still remember that look on her face though when King told us you have to push through it. I wasn't sure that I could push through it and tolerate the pain."

I wasn't even at my desk fifteen minutes when my phone buzzed. It was Loretta. A minute later King came down the stairs and says "Percy, Chris, I need you to down to the morgue and get a report from Loretta on Friday's other case.

Sonja didn't say two words the first minutes in the truck. I broke the ice by asking how her weekend went. She responded that after she dropped off her old partner Jake Roman at the airport Saturday morning that she stayed in for the weekend.

"Why don't you let me buy you a cold one after we get off tonight?" "Thanks but no thanks. Last thing I want to do is be around a bunch of noise." "Well then let me buy you dinner." "Ditto LaSalle. I will just settle in for a quiet evening and Monday Night football." "Well then let me bring dinner and we can watch the game together." "Quit LaSalle. You won't stop till I say yes, will you? Come on over and you should probably bring your own choice of beer since you and Tammy have different taste."
