"IS SHE OKAY!" worry struck both of his friends at the same time. T.K. filled the void when Randy had left and she fit right in with all of them. Natalie and she had become friends, which is what Natalie was missing. Natalie did love 'hanging with the guys' but it was about time to have some 'girls night's out'.Monk loved to help T.K. with any reviews she was having trouble with, she even let him keep some kitchen appliances she'd recieved as gifts.

"Calm down, she's doing just fine."

"Don't scare me like that." Natalie sat on the couch in the office.

"So, what kind of favor did you need?" Monk sat on the arm rest of the couch .

"Well, T.K.'s ex husband, that selfish jerk, stole ten grand from her after the divorce, not to include the countless unpaid parking tickets and fines. He dropped off the radar five years ago, but I just got a tip on his whereabouts. Apparently he's vacationing in Lake Tahoe, what idiot vacations in the state he's wanted in. It doesn't matter anyway it's just great news for me."

"I'm confused Captain, what favor do you need from us?" Monk interruped Stottlemeyer.

"I need you and Natalie to go up there and find out the son of a bitch's new alias, so I can arrest him."

"Leland, you know I'd do almost anything for you, but this is pushing it for me. I mean do you know how cold it is up there?" Natalie looked at Monk like she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"We'll do it"

It was Monk's turn to look in shock at Natalie "What are you nuts?"

"Please Monk, it's not only for me. It's for Trudy."

Monk put his head down in shame, and before he knew it, he was at the SFO airport waiting for a private plane."

"Leland can't we just drive there, it's only a what five to six hour drive?" Monk got more nervous with each passing moment.

"Monk the quicker you get there the quicker you get to come back. Now here's a picture of him, find out what you can. This is very important Monk, make sure you stay safe but also do whatever it takes to get the information." Stottlemeyer gave them money for a motel. "Sorry it's not more, but this is out of my own pocket. The department has no idea I'm doing this."

"Don't worry Captain, we understand" Natalie's nerves were on edge. Since last night she and Adrian haven't spoken two words to eachother. Now they have to spend the weekend away together. She just wanted to pretend like that kiss had never happened, but knowing Adrian he wouldn't let anything go. It was just a matter of time until they were alone in a motel at night with nothing to do.

A man came up to the group "Excuse me Captain, but your plane is ready."

"Thank you, Jack. Okay you two this is it, Remember find out what you can any information will help..."

"Leland. I've done this sort of thing one hundred and thirty two times. Don't worry we won't let you down, I promise. He will pay for what he's done." Monk stood to his feet and shook Leland's hand.

Natalie and Monk sat in a very small cramped plane, it was a short trip but the whole time Monk felt uncomfortable and sick. No words were spoken between the two, Natalie was left to her thoughts.

I have to fix this, I can't go the whole weekend without talking to him. What should I do?

Monk closed his eyes and moaned in discomfort as he thought to himself
