Pride's Surprise

Pride couldn't believe it he reached out to touch Christopher's face and, when his hand felt warm skin under his finger tips he grabbed his shoulder and pulled him into a hug that showed just how much he had missed the man in front of him. "I can't believe your right here in front of me. Where have you been hiding I've missed you Christopher please tell me this isn't a dream?" "No dream I'm really here King but I can't tell you where I've been not yet. You've got to find the one who ordered the hit on me and my brother."

Pride was so happy that he was crying and all he could think is that Rita knew how much he loved the man in his arms right now. He said, "Christopher I've got something to tell you as soon as this is all over and you can come out of hiding. I can't hold the truth back not now that I've finally realized what the truth is and when we have the capability of talking in earnest I'm going to tell you that truth." "Okay King I'll be waiting, just get the leader and we'll be able to truly talk."

They separated and all Pride could think was, 'I have a chance to actually find out if this will work out between me and Christopher.' They returned to the NCIS field office and Pride said we have a new priority. Greggorio I need you to get the man who killed Cade and Christopher LaSalle, I have new information that says he was just a hitman and I want to find the one who ordered the hits." "Of course Pride but, where'd this information come from?" Pride smiled and said, "can't say, my source could be killed if I did I just need you guys to trust me."

"Oh we trust you, we're just worried that your getting your hopes up sir," Sebastian said. Pride realized that his was just looking out for him and said, "I understand Sebastian but trust me the info is good and you'll understand once we get the leader." They started doing what they were told. The team got the hitman in their interrogation room and Pride was the one who took the lead on interrogating him. "Eddie it's been a while and I have it on good authority that your just a hitman and there's someone else in charge. You give me that man and I'll see what I can do to make sure that you and Sue Ann are put in protective custody to keep you safe while we find him and take him down."

Eddie was staring at Pride and said, "if I tell you that you've got to protect Sue Ann I don't care about myself. You see she's pregnant and I want her and her baby protected, she's my baby sister. it's not in my file I know but it's true and the man who ordered me to take your man and his brother out would kill her if he found out about the pregnancy." Pride knew that he was telling the truth cause like Christopher he had a thing for seeing when people were telling the truth. So he left the room and called the prison where she was being held and asked, "can I talk to the prison doctor. I need to check on one of the inmates that you have there." He waited patiently and when the doctor answered said, "I need you to find out if Sue Ann is pregnant and if she is how far along is she?" The doctor found the file that he needed and said, "yes she's pregnant and she's 4 and a half months along. May I ask why you ask about her pregnancy?"

Pride answered, "I just wanted to know thank you."
