jake riley x cara beckett
plot: detective jake riley recently relocated from atlanta to new york, wanting to start fresh. when a case has him consulting the help of one cara beckett, he finds himself enamored by the younger, intimidatingly intelligent, brunette.
j a k e was out of his element here. being a detective had been something he had worked toward ever since he lost the most important woman of his life. she had left behind an 11 year old son that he had been attached to since taking care of him throughout the break-out in atlanta. bittersweet was the day he had been given the antidote and no longer had to be contained in the cordon. his grandparents took sole custody of him after that, making it impossible for jake to have much to do with the child he had come to care for so much.
unbearable, he relocated the moment he had the chance. all the way to new york city where he had already made somewhat of a name for himself with the situation in atlanta to the point where nypd had heard his name. now, for the last three months, he had been working as a homicide detective; taking a path that katie had once encouraged him to do before--
his new case had him finding his way to the cyber crimes unit and after talking to some of the superiors, he was told to reach out to one cara beckett who had already started filtering through the details of the case. “hey,” he paused, stopping in front of the shorter female, “i’m jake.”
