Chapter 8: Déjà vu- Natalia Boa Vista
A/N: In my word Natalia and Sam Hanns from NCIS: LA are a couple.
                The past few days had been bananas for Horatio Caine and his CSI Miami team. Every piece of evidence they found led them to more evidence, more suspects and more motives but not the criminal mastermind. Whoever was behind it all stayed more than two steps ahead of the team. It had been over seventy-two hours since Natalia seen her apartment. She was so full of coffee and sodas that if she had cut herself she might have bled caffeine instead of blood. She had eaten more fast food in the last four days then she’d probably had last month. Her body ached in places she didn’t realize she had. What she wouldn’t give to go home and crash for about at least twenty-four hours. No telephone, no TV, no computer. Nothing but her eyelids closed to the world.
                She was waiting for yet another test to produce results. Since she would have about an hour, she laid her head inside her arms on an empty desk in the lab. If she could just close her eyes for an hour maybe, she could see something she didn’t see before. The bombs, the murders, the assaults and the press were enough to drive anyone crazy. They were all trying to hold on to their sanity. She’d had to make an emergency run for batteries for her hearing aids. She never had to go longer than twenty-four hours before being able to charge them. Not so lucky this time.
                The beeping sounds of the machine and the printing of test results brought her out of her slumber. She stretched and grabbed the results from the printer. She took one glance at the results and took off to find Horatio. She had possibly found the killer’s identity. As she ran down the hall, she bumped into Calleigh who was coming up from ballistics. She had proof of a second suspect. When they reached Horatio’s office Walter was there with evidence of the third suspect and an address. Everyone went into action.
                Natalia was cataloging the last of the evidence when Horatio came in the lab to send her home.
“But these still need testing.”
“Don’t worry about it. The swing will take care of it. I’m sending you all home. You’ve done more than excellent.”
“And you’re going home too, yes?”
“Yes; we all have strict orders to not show up here for three days.”
“I don’t know if three days will cover how tired I am.”
“I know. That’s why we have the weekend off too.” She smiled.
“Thanks H.” He smiled, put his hands in his pockets, and walked out of the room. Natalia grabbed one last cup of coffee, just so she could drive home. She was swearing off the stuff for the next three days. She drove home with the music blaring to keep awake. Once home she parked her car and was barely able to walk. She’d had her heels on for much longer than she expected. She unlocked her door and stepped in. After closing and locking her door behind her, Natalia finally let out a sigh of relief. The familiar scent of roses filled her nostrils. It had been over three days since she had been home, but she didn’t remember using rose-scented room fresheners or buying fresh flowers. Which would have been dead by now from neglect. She glanced around and then something on the floor caught her eyes. Rose petals. They were making a trail that led from the front door to the hallway and she assumed without looking that they reached her bedroom.
“Who would leave a trail of rose petals?” she said to herself. Airing on the side of caution, she pulled her gun from her holster and slowly and quietly followed the trail. As she walked she could hear a man…singing in her bedroom. Natalia slowly walked down the hall, adrenaline kicking in where fatigue had set in. Gun drawn, she pushed the door open to see a tall, bald-headed, muscular brown-skinned African-American man dancing around with his iPod in his ears.
“Freeze!!” She yelled. The man turned around, hands raised in surrender. Then she saw his dimples. “Sam?”
“Hey baby you’re finally home.” He said as he pulled his ear buds from his ears.
“Sam, I almost shot you! What the hell are you doing here?” She said as she lowered her gun.
“Nice to see you too beautiful.” He said. Stepping closer he greeted her with a kiss. She moaned a little as the familiar taste, feeling and fatigue. “Hetty gave us some unexpected vacation time so I’d thought I’d come and surprise you.”
“You flew across the country to just surprise me?”
“Yea, that’s what good, loving boyfriends do. Then I saw the news and knew it was going to be a long case for you.” She sighed as NCIS: LA Team member Sam Hanna pulled her into his arms. She had forgotten that she had given him a key for emergencies. She was glad that he never needed to use it. Like traveling from LA to Miami was an easy emergency.
“Well, I haven’t slept much in nearly four days.”
“I figured as much when I looked in the fridge. So I did a little shopping for you.”
“I’m afraid that I won’t be much company tonight either.”
“I’m here for a few days; we don’t have to catch up tonight. So what do you want to do first; eat or sleep?”
“Actually bathe. Yeah, I need a bath.”
“Shower or tub?” He asked.
“Shower. I need to wash my hair.”
“Allow me.” Sam stepped into her bathroom and started the shower. As the water was heating up, he helped her undress her aching body. He undressed as well.
“You’re showering with me?”
“Well, can’t have you falling asleep in the shower can I?”
“I’m not that tired yet.”
“Tali, you don’t see what I see.” They stepped into the shower and Natalia nearly melted with the water as it covered her body. Sam took her body puff, lathered it with her favorite shower gel and slowly washed her body. Between his gentle repetitions and the warm water, she was getting more relaxed by the second. By the end of the shower, she was glad that he was there. She leaned on him as he washed her legs and back. She sat on the side of the tub as he washed her hair. Natalia felt so blessed to be spoiled at this moment by him.
                As Sam dried her off, she nearly fell asleep in his arms.
“Tali…Tali?”He loved using that shorten version of her name. Sam thought it sounded more exotic.
“Hmmm?” She responded, her voice thick with sleep.
“Stay with me a little longer. Let me get some pjs on you, and then you can sleep as long as you want.”
He managed to get her into some pajamas, change her hearing aid batteries and get some pain medication in her system for her aching muscles. He tucked her into bed. She murmured something but Sam couldn’t make sense of it. She was asleep before he pulled the covers over her. She was going to be asleep for a while. Sam pulled on his pajamas and got in next to her. He had cooked earlier so food would be available, whenever she woke up.
                It was nearly ten hours later when Natalia finally stirred in bed. It was dark outside and she could feel the affects of the past few days. Her body felt worse then it did when she lay down. Sam wasn’t next to her so she called out for him. He walked in when he heard her voice.
“Hey sleeping beauty.”
“What time is it?” she asked as she yawned.
“Nearly midnight.”
“I’m still so tired.”
“I know but since you’re awake you should try to eat something. It’ll take just a minute to warm up.”
“Ok.” She sat up and stretched. A few minutes later, she stumbled into her small dining room area and sat down.
“What do you want to drink?”
“I’m swearing off coffee and sodas for three days. If you cut me open I’d probably fizz or bleed black coffee.”
“Apple juice good?”
“Sounds great.” Natalia replied. He poured two glasses and set them on the table. Then he brought two steaming hot bowls of Sam’s Famous California Chicken Soup. “This looks good.”
“Oh it more than looks good, it is good. This, my darling, is my famous California Chicken Soup.”
“Famous to who?” She asked looking at him from the corner of her eye.
“Everyone in our department. I made this for a Christmas potluck one year in a very large batch. It was the first thing to go.”
“That good huh?”
“You can call Hetty and ask her yourself.” He looked at his watch. “She’s still up. It’s a little after 9 p.m. out there.”
“I won’t disturb her. I’ll take your word for it.”
“I make this in big batches and freeze it. It’s the perfect thing for cold rainy California days.”
“Cold, rainy and California; there’s three words that don’t belong together.”
“True, but it happens. Keeps me from getting a cold. It will help you rebuild your strength.” She tasted a spoonful of it. Then another.
“It’s actually pretty good.” She said. Sam smiled at her.
“Told ya.”
“So what makes it Californian?”
“Ah, it’s a secret.”
“Secret probably meaning there is no secret.”
“Oh no, there’s a secret. I’m just not willing to tell you.”
“When will you tell me?”
“We’ll see.” Sam teased. They continued to eat and talk. Sleep was soon setting in for Natalia again. It was after 1 a.m. Sam put the dishes in the dishwasher and joined Natalia in her bedroom. As he got in, he could feel her snuggle close to him. He pulled her closer, she rested her head on his chest and both were soon asleep.
                Once the sun rose, Natalia was feeling much better. Her muscles didn’t ache as much, but she still felt like she needed sleep. After breakfast, Sam helped her with the laundry. Since it was a nice day, they went out for lunch. She showed Sam more of the city. He had been able to sightsee before, but not like this. Horatio called his team to an impromptu dinner at his home and he told her that Sam was more than welcome to come. It would be nice for the team to finally meet him.
                One would think after trying to rest and getting her body back to normal that Natalia would want to rest. That wasn’t the case. As she and Sam were changing clothes, she walked up behind him and began kissing his back. She ran her fingers up and down his chest as she did so. He stopped her hands and kissed them.
“Not that I’m complaining, but what’s that for?”
“For surprising me and taking care of me. You didn’t have to do that.”
“Yes, I did. It’s in the secret boyfriend code. We’re supposed to take care of our women.”
“So do G and Eric take care of each other like that?”
“Like you wouldn’t believe. But why are we talking about them? I thought it was just us in here.”
“It is.” she said as she turned him around to kiss his lips. It was technically the “hello” kiss they would have shared if she had picked him up from the airport.
“That’s what I’m talking about.” He said smiling. “You feel up for a massage?”
“Who would turn one down?”
He pulled her over to the bed and laid her on her stomach. He straddled behind her and began to massage the aches out of her muscles. After a while, those massaging maneuvers became loving caresses. Those caresses were combined with full body kisses, sexy licks and beautiful words of love. Before long, they were making love like that hadn’t missed each other but shared that type of love every day.
Natalia felt really relaxed now. Sam gave her that last kind of sleep she needed. She was tired but it was a good tired. Sam wrapped his arms around her and they both slept radiating love. Her alarm clock going off disturbed their sleep. Why is this thing going off on my day off? She reached over to turn it off but it wouldn’t. She rubbed her eyes to see what time it was and thought it strange that her clock wasn’t in front of her. It was a machine from the lab. Why is this thing in my bedroom? She looked a little closer and realized that the machine wasn’t out of place; she was. The beeping of the test completion woke her up from her nap. How long have I been asleep? She glanced at her watch. Just an hour. Wow what an hour and what a dream.
As she removed the results from the printer, Horatio came in.
“I’ve got those test results.”
“Very good. I can present them to the suspects when we question them.”
“You already have them in custody?”
“Yes we do. Karen Wilson came clean first and told us everything.”
“Well, how nice of her. She’s been stonewalling all this time. What made her change her mind?”
“Knowing that she might have to spend time away from her children.”
“She still might have to.” Natalia added as she handed him the results.
“Thank you and you can go home to get some rest.”
“Maybe later. I have some other stuff to finish-”
“No. Swing shift is coming in. You have the next three days off, plus the weekend. And as soon as I update swing, I will have three days plus the weekend too.”
“Home. Seems like such a foreign concept after these past few days.”
“Get some much deserved rest.”
“Thanks H.”
Natalia walked to her locker, grabbed her things and headed for the parking lot. Once home she parked her car and was barely able to walk. High heels were not made to wear more than a day at a time. She unlocked her door and stepped in. After closing and locking her door behind her, Natalia finally let out a sigh of relief. The familiar scent of roses filled her nostrils. Not sure why her home was smelling that way, she looked around for an answer. As she did, something on the floor caught her eyes. Rose petals. They trailed through the hallway and she assumed to her bedroom.
“Rose petals? What the hell is going on?” she asked herself. Being cautious, she pulled her gun from her holster and followed the trail. As she walked she could hear a man’s voice in her bedroom. She was having a weird feeling of déjà vu, but she knew she’d never been in this situation before. Natalia slowly walked down the hall, gun drawn, ready for action. She pushed the door open to see a tall, bald-headed, muscular brown-skinned African-American man unpacking clothes.
She started to yell “freeze” then the man turned around. “Sam?” His dimples were unforgettable.
“Tali; I’m so glad you’re finally home.” She gave him a dazed look. “What, did I say something wrong?”
“No, I just didn’t expect to see you here.” She paused. The déjà vu feeling was getting stronger. “And why are you here?”
“A few days of unexpected vacation. Hetty told us to get the hell out of dodge.”
“So you decided to come here?”
“It’s the first place that came to mind. We’ve haven’t spent any face time together in a while. Your job, my job. So here I am.” She replaced her gun and took off her holster. Sam put his arms around her waist, pulled her close and kissed her.
“Sam, it’s been a long four days and I just wan-”
“Let me take care of you, ok?” Natalia nodded but had a confused look on her face. “Everything ok Tali?”
“Yeah, just a weird feeling of déjà vu.”
