Chapter 1 -- Say What?

It took 18 months but Chris La Salle was finally able to return to duty after nearly dying after being shot by his brother's killer. King was so proud of him that he had worked so hard to get back into physical shape. Although the Director had serious doubts, he listened to his head shrink Jack Sloan and the Senior Field Agent. For some reason Tammy bore the brunt of his frustration and with that burden warned others just to stay way until he was back on his feet. To his dismay, he had no idea that warning was heeded by his former partner Sonja Percy. Fate finally allowed their reunion. And that is where this story begins.
