Hi all, I am dedicating this story to Black Shadow Girl. I hope you like it. :0)

A normal warm summer day was in bloom. Beautiful flowers, birds singing. An absolute gorgeous day.

All was well at the CBI, it seemed like everyone was doing paperwork more than anything. Grace and Cho were busily typing away, While Wayne set making correcting any mistakes that might have been made on all forms to be sent off, and Patrick helped Teresa get her paperwork together.

She couldn't believe he was helping, most of these reports were about him after all, but not to many as suspected.

Other than a ton of all sorts of paperwork, well until past their lunch time, they had finally got a case.

There was a suspected murder of a carny at the local carnival grounds. Teresa noticed Patrick somewhat shiver at the mere thought thought of returning there.

It had been awhile since he was involved with his past, and the day event just couple of weeks ago with his brother in law was still lingering fresh on his mind.

"Patrick, you okay?"

"Uh, yeah sure, why wouldn't I be?"

"I can tell your not okay, if you want to set this one out its fine."

"No Teresa, I'm not going to let you down, that wouldn't be right, its okay, I'll do it."

He leaned over and pecked her cheek smiling at her. They had been dating for about a month and things were going great between them. He knew if he needed her, she would be there for him.

"You won't let me down, I don't want you to feel like you have to do something your clearly not comfortable with, its okay really."

The memories of growing up there still haunted him, that poor girl girl his dad stole money from, all of lies that he told him, how mean he was to him. He didn't want any part of that anymore.

"No, I will do this, when do we head out?"

"Right now, lets go tell the team."

Patrick nodded as they headed out.

"Okay team we have a case."

"Thank goodness, I have a lot of paper cuts."

Whined Wayne while Cho smirked, Grace just shook her head at him.

"Well come on guys, lets go."

They all headed out to their van and were on their way.

Okay here is chapter 1, hope you like it. Please read and review! :0)
