Dangerous Minds- Chapter Nine

-Damon-

"24 hours later, a plane change and now I'm stuck with you." I spit out at her, watching while she lowers her sunglasses at me and smirks deviously.

"I'd say that I'm happy to see you too. But, you tried to kill me with your extreme training tactics on our last assignment together and to be honest, I still hold grudges." Katherine states, placing her sunglasses up above the tip of her nose as she tilts her light brown sunhat to the side and snaps her fingers.

"Why'd you want us to meet at a bar first, Katherine? I haven't seen you in over two years and now, we're together again." I point out bluntly as she turns towards me on the swivel chair she's sitting on and stares down at my left hand. "Did you ever tell her about me, Damon? About us. The new wife, did you tell her that I'm your ex- girlfriend?" She asks, spinning a piece of her curly brown hair in between her fingers as she exhales deeply.

"How was I supposed to do that?" I ask her, lifting my hand up and waving the bartender over as we both watch him walk up to us, a smile widely forming across his lips. "What can I get for you two?"

"I'll have a Scotch neat and she'll have a," I pause for a minute, glancing over at her and quickly being able to remember the little details about her, like her favorite drink. "She'll have a dry martini with a hint of mint in it."

Katherine reaches out towards me, her fingers dancing across my skin as she sighs deeply before talking. "And, here I was thinking you'd forgotten everything you once knew about me."

I laugh a little, thinking about the first time I had met Katherine, way back in high school. We had drifted apart during our last few years and tried to make things work when I went off to college. But, the news hit her hard when I came home for the summer one day and the word spread that I had moved on without even telling her that we were officially over. Bonnie never really knew about Katherine, I didn't want her to know. So, Katherine and I had agreed that we'd keep our relationship history a secret and go our separate ways. Everything was great and going fine. Katherine had moved on, married a nice guy named Kol from a wealthy family that I now know far too well and she moved to Arizona to live with him. Even though they divorced just last year when Kol started hiding things while Katherine was just starting her career as an FBI agent in Quanitco. Kol and Katherine remained close friends. Sadly, just when Katherine had thought she'd get her life in order after her divorce. Things began to unravel for them both. It was early last year when the very people who trained her, came knocking on their door. Dragged Kol out of bed and accused him of killing a young girl. Her ex-husband, the guy she loved and had married to mend her broken heart over losing me was now viewed as a murderer. However, we both know that he's innocent.

"I could never forget about you." She hears me inhale sharply, slipping off her tarnished wedding ring as she runs her hand over her curly hair. "He didn't do what they're saying he did, Damon. They need someone to pin this on after so many years just to close the case and I know him. Kol isn't a killer, he's not like that. You need to believe me. For Christ sakes, his brother is the deputy director and his whole family is full of cops and Federal Bureau of Investigation agents! Except for the younger sister, Rebekah. She's still in high school." Katherine confides in me as she leans over and places her hand on to my arm. "Damon, I sought you out because I trust you. I need someone on my side when my ex husband, Kol goes to trial and I know you can help me. I also need your help with this current case. I need us to arrest the guy who really did it. The one I know in my heart who pulled this off and pinned it on Kol."
