Deceptions

Chapter 1

"It's alright Baby, it's alright Aiden, don't cry, we'll get out of here, mommy will get us out of here" Natalie told her three son as she stoked his hair.

Natalie sat with Aiden laying across her lap, she was trying so hard to ease his crying but the little boy only wanted out of here, she only wanted out of here, they wanted to go home. It had been three days since someone took them, took them right out of her own home. The home they shared with Darren, her husband, Aiden's father, well.. maybe not his real father, since his real father didn't have any idea about Aiden.

Natalie looked at Aiden's dark, dark, Brown hair as she smoothed it back, he was the spitting image of John and she knew it, as a matter of fact plenty of people knew it but no one dared say it, she had married Darren while she was pregnant with Aiden, he was a good man, a really good man, he always treated her well, he was a friend of Kevin's well.. not really a friend a colleague of sorts, see.. Darren was an up and coming attorney and he set his sights on politics, he wanted to be the next Lt governor, something Kevin knew about so that was how they met.

When they married neither of them did it for Love, it was companionship for Natalie, it was a father for her son, John wasn't anywhere to be found, he left town to find his dad's killer and never did. He never came back either.

Their marriage was a good move for Darren, he needed to be married to be taken seriously in politics, it even added to his package that he was having a kid. It was a good move for Nat too, this way she wouldn't have to go thru life alone, alone cause she knew after John Mcbain, who could equal up, who could compare, she would never have that type of love again and she hadn't wanted to ever try.

It was a good move; it was a really good move for both of them.

So now she sits, sits alone with her son on her lap, waiting, waiting to find out why they were taken and when they'd be going back, when someone would find them.

John Mcbain walked into the Police station, the place he just about lived at when he worked here almost four years ago, he looked around and things seemed the same, but he knew they weren't. He hadn't spoken to anyone in the past years, not even his brother, it was to hard for him, he had failed, he failed at finding his dad's killer and that in turn meant he failed at fixing himself. Fixing himself so maybe, he could possible say the words, the words to her, the words that sat on the tip of his tongue every time he was near her.

John walked around the station and saw it wasn't very crowded, he never thought he'd be here again, but he was, but he knew it was only because a good friend, a man he admired so much had called him, called him and told him to come, that he really needed his help. Bo wasn't very informative when he got the message thru the bureau, he was back with the FBI and no one knew how to reach him, somehow Bo had some sort of connection and he found him, the older man only said it was important, really important, so of course John came, he had too.

John looked around the station before entering Bo's office, he wondered if she still worked here, was she the forensics Tech she so desperately wanted to be, the tech he so disapproved off, he remembered the last time he saw her, the last time they made love, they hadn't barely touched for so long before that and then, that night.. They just couldn't hold what they possessed for each other anymore. They released it, he yelled at her for helping with his fathers case, she yelled back at him, she was so infuriating, she got under his skin, she made him lose control when she was close and that's what happened that night, he grabbed her arms when she defied him and next thing he knew, they were ripping each others clothes off and leaving them in shreds on the floor.

"John" Bo said as he saw him standing outside his office in thought

"Bo, it's good to see you" John said as he turned to see his friend, then they both walked into the office to talk

They caught up on things for a few minutes and then Bo had to tell him what was going on, why is was so urgent for him to come and that he needed John's help

"John, I called because, well... I know it's been a long time but.. You two were close at one point, hell more than close and everyone knew it, well..."

"What are you trying to say Bo, are you talking about your niece? Is there something going on with Natalie that I should know about?"

"She's been Kidnapped, and her s---" Bo was about to say her son when he was interrupted

"I want to know what is going on with the investigation into finding my wife and my son, and I want to know right " Darren said as he rudely walked into Bo's office while Bo and john were speaking, Bo looked at Darren, a man he really never liked, a man he hated with his niece and his great nephew, a man he knew Natalie didn't love, a man that was a poor substitute for John Mcbain.

"Sit down Darren, we were just discussing Natalie and Aiden" Bo told him and John caught on, this was Natalie's husband, and she had a son.

"Darren Southers this is John Mcbain, I'm sure Natalie's told you about him" Bo said introducing the two man, Darren and John sized each other up for a few minutes as they shook hands. Darren refocused his attention to Bo.

"Are there any leads on my wife and my son? Or are you to busy commissioner to find your own niece" Darren asked coldly and arrogantly as he looked at Bo.

"You do mean John's son don't you?"
