CH13:

Entering the party, it was not so full of people…Yet. The people that arrived early were people from work, and from other companies. Usually the other people that party as hard as Rachel wouldn't be arriving until 11 at night. It was barely 9 at night. Haley spotted Rachel, and walked toward her, Nathan following.

"Rachel, happy birthday!" Haley said, hugging her.

"Thanks Hun" Rachel said.

"Here, I hope you love it" Haley winked, handing Rachel her present.

"Oh Haley you didn't have to, but I'm glad you did. Oh wow. I love it! Its so beautiful, thank you!" Rachel said, hugging Haley again. The present was a red strapless dress.

"And they'll go great with your new shoes" Haley whispered, separating from the hug.

"I know, oh I feel so rude. Hi Nathan. I'm glad you came to my party. Feel free to get drunk" Rachel said. He smiled at her.

"Happy birthday Rachel" he said, hugging her.

"Thanks, well there's food over there and all the booze is in the kitchen. Now excuse me, my man just entered" Rachel grinned, walking way from them.

"Rachel, happy birthday" Jake said, leaning down to kiss her. She brightly smiled at him.

"Thanks" she said after the kiss.

"Here for you, I hope you like it" he said handing her, her gift. She opened it, finding exactly what she wanted; her heels.

"How did you know? This is exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much babe" she leaned up to kiss him a long kiss. After this kiss she turned around, showing winking at Haley. Haley chuckled.

"What what just happened?" Nathan asked confused.

"Nothing much. Come on I want you to meet some people" Haley said, grabbing his hand.

"Jimmy hey, I want you to meet my boyfriend Nathan. Nathan this is my friend from work Jimmy" Haley introduced them both shook hands.

"So Jimmy, having fun?" Haley asked.

"Yes, there's a lot of hot girls here. Who knows I'm might get lucky tonight. Now excuse me, a certain blonde is calling my name" Jimmy left. Both Haley and Nathan laughed. After talking with some co workers both naley were enjoying themselves, as well as jachel. Sooner than later 2 hours past. Dancing with Haley, he felt his phone vibrate.

"Hey Haley, I have to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back" he said to her, walking to the bathroom. Nathan answered his phone, once in privacy.

"Hello, oh, hello James. Where at? Alright I'll be there as soon as I can" Nathan said, hanging up. He walked back to Haley, and he didn't find her alone.

"Nathan I want you to meet my other co worker, Felix. Felix this is my boyfriend Nathan" Haley said.

"Nathan, I was just telling Haley, how talented she is at the company" Felix, said not taking his eyes Haley. Nathan rolled his eyes, why now? doesn't matter he has no chance, he thought.

"Haley can I talk to you?" Nathan asked, ignoring Felix. She nodded, and he took her hand steering her away from Felix.

"What's up?" she asked.

"Ok, um I have to go-

"Now? Today?" Haley cut him off.

"I know and I'm sorry. The gov't just called me. Something big came up, and they need me stat. I'm sorry Hales. Do you want me to come over to your house later tonight?" Nathan asked. Haley exhaled.

"Sure, you have a key right?" Haley said.

"Yeah, enjoy yourself, and find a safe way home" he said, leaning down for a kiss.

"Alright bye" Haley said, walking back to her friends. Nathan walked further down the house, until he heard Felix saying something to him.

"Leaving soon, hotshot. Don't worry I'll take care of Haley for you" he said. Nathan glared at him, but wasn't taken back by his behavior, he was obviously drunk. Grinning, Nathan walked closer to him. Once in front of him, Nathan slammed him against the wall.

"Come anywhere new her, and I promise you it will be the last time you'll ever feel your hand" Nathan threatened, while grabbing Felix's other hand and squeezing it. Felix, shook in pain.

"Fine, I wont talk to her" Felix said. Nathan released him, then walked away to Rachel and Jake.

"Hey Rachel I have to go, but thanks for inviting me" he said.

"Already? Ok see you another time" Rachel said. Nathan smiled, leaning toward to Jake.

"Do me a favor, keep on eye on Haley, and don't let that Felix guy near her." Even though I doubt it, he thought

"Ok, don't worry" Jake said. Nathan nodded and left the party.

After driving and hour away from Tree hill, Nathan arrived at Henry's house. It was already midnight. He observed the house and the neighborhood. He took out his gloved and carried a bag with him he stepped out of his car, walking further into the house. Once inside the lawn, a black dog came running his way. Taking out a thin tranquilizer needle, he threw it at the dog, sticking into the dogs neck, causing it to drop to the floor ground. He continued to walk further into the house. Once he reached the front door, another way to get in was by typing in a code . He took out a portable monitor and stuck it to the machine lines. Immediately numbers ran and stopped at three. He typed in the three numbers and the door opened. He entered quietly. Looking around he remembered what James told him at the restaurant.

Flashback:

"Nathan this is what I want exactly. I want it to seem to look like a homicide" James said.

"And who is to blame?" Nathan asked.

"My wife. I want you to write a note saying to him: for all you done, mouchy" James said.

"Mouchy?" Nathan repeated.

"I know weird nick name. But that will be one clue against her. Another here, is a cloth of her fingerprints, spread it around the note" James said.

"Is that it?" Nathan asked.

"No, somewhere in a drawer hide this picture of him and the whore kissing. That way it will be more evidence" James grinned. Nathan raised an eyebrow, looking at the picture.

"How do you want it done?" he asked lastly.

"Be creative, for all I care suffocate him with the pillow, slit his throat. Doesn't matter, just make sure he takes his last breath on Sunday morning. Now how much is the down payment for the moment?" James asked.

"15 thousand" Nathan said.

"Do you accept checks?" James asked.

"No, cash only" Nathan answered. James chuckled.

"Like I said I like the way you play" James said.

End of flashback

Just as he said, Nathan suffocated the guy in his dream. Of course he struggled, but he never knew what hit him. Once he stopped struggling, Nathan took the pillow of his head, and looked at the guy. He checked hi pulse; nothing. After he set the pillow under the guy, then he set the note, Peyton did for him on his nightstand. Then, under a sock drawer, he placed the picture. Being done, he took out his camera and took a picture of his body.

Quietly again, he left the house driving away, to drive to James's house.

"Here's the picture" Nathan said, handing him the picture.

"Nice job. Here's the rest of the money. Nice doing business with you" James said. Nathan took the suitcase.

"Now, a couple lasts words. Forget my name unless another assignment comes up. If this was to go against me, I will deny, and you will be dead. Like I said before I take this seriously and so do my people, any charges or whatsoever will be denied. Don't forget I'm a powerful man. I know many connections, even the law force" Nathan said. James smirked.

"Don't worry about that. Thank you Nathan for you services" James said, shaking his hand.

"Nice doing business with you. Goodbye" Nathan said, exiting the mansion.

An hour later Nathan arrived at Haley's apartment. He unlocked her door, walking to her bedroom. He shook of his shoes, then took of his shirt and pants. He laid next to her, wrapping his hand over her waist.

"Your back" Haley said, turning to him.

"Shh, go back to sleep" he said, placing a strand form her hair, behind her ear. She smiled, smelling his scent.

"Thanks for being protective over me with Felix. He creeps me out too" Haley said, placing her head next to his chest. Nathan chuckled, kissing her forehead and a couple moments later he was asleep as well.
