A/N: In the Season 4 episode 'Holy Night', CJ tells Josh that Danny is back. Josh already knows because he got an email from him. That line inspired this fic, which picks up the story from the end of Season 3.
oooooooooooooooooo
Hi Danny,
You were right. Moose meat is terrible. I think Donna will like it though. Or maybe she'll like the ornate pine box enough that she'll forgive me for leaving her behind.
Is there nothing on earth that you haven't eaten?
Josh
oooooooooooooooooo
Hey Josh,
Jellyfish. Never going to go there.
How did Donna like the box?
I heard that CJ had some extra secret service protection in Helsinki. Everything ok?
Danny
oooooooooooooooooo
Danny,
I'll tell you the story of the box some other time. Disaster.
You heard right, CJ's getting some extra TLC at the moment. As you can imagine, she's not loving it. Nothing to be worried about. Do you remember Simon Donovan? When the Mets beat the Angels just after the inauguration? He's her lead guy.
Josh
oooooooooooooooooo
Josh,
Next time you see Simon, you can remind him that he still owes me a beer from that evening.
He'd better be around to pay up next time I'm in town.
Danny
oooooooooooooooooo
Danny,
I'm sorry, my friend, you won't be able to collect on that beer. Simon walked into a hold-up in a convenience store in NY. He didn't make it.
They caught CJ's guy though.
Everyone's pretty shaken up, CJ most of all. The two of them got pretty close I think.
Take care of yourself.
Josh
oooooooooooooooooo
Josh,
Vale Simon Donovan. The next beer you and I drink together is in his honour.
Keep an eye on CJ for me? You know how she'll try to push everyone away. I'd come back if I could, but Maracay's pretty hot right now.
Danny
oooooooooooooooooo
Danny,
Sounds like a plan. He was a good guy. Don't you go getting yourself killed over there.
Josh
oooooooooooooooooo
To be continued. CJ appears very soon. This is quite different to my normal style, so I'd love to know what you think.
