Last Chapter Summary: A fight leads to the separation of Helena and Reese.
This chapter: 1 year later Reese returns, not knowing what is going to be said between the 2 of them, but then finds her with ADA Colten Andrews.
(Note: sort of a crossover with the new show Criminal Minds, not technically, but just some of the ideas and characters from the BAU, Behavior Analysis Unit of the FBI)
Reese had just gotten off the plane with the rest of the team from the BAU. He had only been on the team for about 4 months, but enjoyed it. Now he was back home in New Gotham solving a case. He decided to stay in New Gotham and take his old job back after the case was over.
Reese and his team were finished up with the case. They were glad they found the missing girl who was abducted by some psycho obsessive compulsive guy who thought his God wanted him to sacrifice the young girl. The team decided to head to get a few drinks and celebrate before heading back to Quantico. They of course dragged Reese along, who had no idea that they were taking him to the Dark Horse Bar until moments too late. He wasn't looking forward to it, nor did he find himself ready to make a confrontation to Helena yet.
They just walked into the dark horse, he looked up at the bar. He didn't see her, so he figured it'd be ok to go sit down. They were there about 5 minutes when he saw her sitting about 10 feet away with Barbara, Dinah, and two guys he didn't recognize (Dick and Colten).
Helena was having a pretty good evening, and work was pretty slow until about now. Cole and Helena had been dating about three months now, they made a pretty good pair from the looks of it. She was happy with their relationship except the fact that she always found that he was a little distant sometimes. All of a sudden she heard an all too familiar voice laughing with the group close by. She looked over and saw Reese, and she couldn't help but think about that day when he walked out that door.
Soon she heard her name being called back to work. Barbara, Dick, and Dinah all got up to go, leaving Helena and Cole to say their goodbye for the evening. He kissed her goodnight and got up to follow the rest of the group to the door. Unknowingly Reese hadn't missed seeing the kiss.
"Kyle, we got customers that need tending to, get to work." Said Leonard "This isn't the time or place for romance missy, and especially since I don't want to see it."
"I got it Leonard, ok?"
"Ya, just get to work"
"I'm going"
She walked up towards the group Reese was sitting with, taking note that while 2 of the guys were in dress suits, Reese wasn't. Then she noticed that all of them had on the jackets that said FBI on the back and BAU on the front side.
"Hi, what can I get you guys to drink?" Helena said.
Reese looked up from his chair wondering how long they could ignore each other now.
