A/N: Okay, I had to re-upload this chapter after someone pointed out I had made a few spelling mistakes in my last chapter. I apologize immensely for this but I was rushing to try and get something out for you guys. Enjoy and please keep reviewing. I'll be uploading my next chapter later tonight, I'm just editing and checking it through right now. Sorry.

Kate,

I should have been an actor. I missed my calling Kate, that's what I was meant to do.

For eight hours I have been entertaining the dullest guests known to man. They compared shades of beige Kate! All the time I sat there and smiled and made conversation and planned nearly seven different ways to kill each of them just so someone would call the cops and put an end to my misery. Maybe you could come here and take the law into your owns hands again, like we did back in L.A.

I've always loved acting, you probably didn't know that. When I was a kid I was in all the little amature dramatics shows, I was almost cast in 'Days Of Our Lives', in the end they went with someone else; it didn't matter to me, my writing career was taking off. I've noticed that you're also quite the little actress, the temptress seeking information in the bar, the demanding girl friend or my personal favorite, the time when you came into that poker game in the middle of China Town as my personal Russian good luck charm.

I remember this one case, some doctors at a family planning clinic were turning up dead and you walk up to the front desk, me trailing along behind you, and you tell the receptionist you're pregnant. Well I couldn't quite breathe, I had no idea that it was all a ruse, I was half hurt and and the other half of me was just plain refusing to process the information.

I stood there, staring at you as if you had grown a second head but you weren't backing down. When the receptionist asked about the father I wasn't sure if you wanted me to speak up or not but you smiled at me and I couldn't tell if you were embarrassed at what I said or relieved that I came forward to help.

If I'm going to be completely honest with you Kate I didn't want that case to end, it was worth the jokes at my expense and the awkward moments between us for the following days to be that close to you, even if it was only pretending.

Or the time when you came to my rescue at the third Nikki Heat launch party. Even when not on duty you're my hero. Some girl, I can't even remember her name, was clinging to me like a life preserver and you came over in that short dress and looking like hell in high heels and 'kindly' asked her to remove her hands. I don't know if you realized I could still hear you but you threatened to 'do something drastic' if she touched your date again. I was on cloud nine, not only had you just called me your date but I had a reason to stay close to you for the rest of the evening.

For the first time I had a good time at one of my own book parties because instead of trying to fight off and simultaneously interest deep fried twinkies and I got to spend the night with my best friend. I don't know if you remember me taking you back home that night, you had drunk a lot at the free bar, but you hugged me at the door to your apartment, you stood on your tiptoes to wrap your arms around my neck. You're so much shorter when you're not wearing those skyscraper heels, I like it, it's like we fit together like perfect puzzle pieces.

You held me close and thanked me for being there. I was confused by that because you're the one who is always there for me but I was so happy to be able to have you so close I didn't question it. Just when I didn't think it could get any better you pulled away and kissed me on the cheek, closer to my mouth than you would have done if sober I bet and lingered there for longer than I dared hope. I didn't breathe until you shut the door.

God, I love you so much.

'U' is for 'Undercover' because for me it was never pretending, we were just practicing or the real thing.

Rick.
