Chapter 2: Pete

Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with the creators, actors, or anyone involved with the making of this wonderful SyFy show, Warehouse 13. I am not using this literary work for monetary gain. I am only borrowing these characters and previously created plots to have a basis for my imagination. In other words, I love this show. I never want it to end.

Author's note: Again, no beta. I hope this isn't too terribly painful to read.

Dear Leena,

Myks told me that I should write a letter to you. I have nooo idea what about though. She said I should tell you everything I've ever wanted to say to you. So, I suppose I could start out by saying that when I first met you, I had a crush on you. I thought that you were beautiful. The way you treated me was more motherly than I could have expected, so I thought that having a relationship would be strange, and possibly disrespectful of you. The next part probably sounds so cliché coming from me, but I say this with pure honesty. I found out what you were really like, and you were just like my big sister. You were always there for me, and I looked up to you in ways I am only just discovering now. I admired your communication and people skills. You had you way of making people feel comfortable. Oh, did I mention that you made the best cookies? They are better than the ones my dad made when he would get home from work. The thing that I never got to thank you for, is for always being there for Myka and Claudia. Those two, my mom, my sister, and you are the most important women in my life. I know that you helped Claudia after Jinks died, and you helped Myka right after HG lied and stole from us. Had Claudia run away and Myka left, I would have literally gone all cookoo.I know that I am never there for those "girl talks," but if I were, I would come to find out that you really influenced their decisions everyday. You have helped me "grow up" a little bit. I've realized over the last couple of years that I walk a really fine line between being a man and being a young boy. You guys have taught me that sometimes the latter can cause great harm to the ones you love. I know that if you were to really read this, you would be saying "Where are all the funnies, Pete?" Well, I am here to say that loosing you or part of my Warehouse family is and would be like loosing my dad all over again. It is a pain that I never want anyone to experience. Unfortunately, the moment evil Artie pulled that trigger, part of my heart felt like it was being ripped in two. So right now, as I sit next to Claudia and Myka, I can't keep my emotions tamed. I was literally tearing up all the way to the airport, and the only reason I am not currently teary eyed now is because I need to be strong for the girls. I also need to get my head in the game so humanity will be saved again, if you know what I am talking about. Know that I will always love you like a sister, mentor, and friend. Hopefully we can get our way out of this one, so I can hug you.

Love,

Peter Lattimer

PS. I would give up junk food and eat salad for the rest of my life just to see you alive again. You know I hate salad with a burning passion. It is the same amount of hate I have for alcohol.

PPS. Cookies didn't help me this time.

Authors Note: So, should I write Claudia's Letter? That one will have the most substance to it because Claudia had the most action with Leena early on, and I can play off that. Review!
