Dr. Nathan Hansen (Lucas Bryant) Haven 4x10 The Trouble with the Troubles (2013)

[cookiedoughmeagain]

Inspired by this post from @meduseld here are the beginnings of a little fic in which a career criminal / crime boss Nathan Hansen runs Haven with a fierce efficiency, and in which Duke Crocker the smuggler, on his way back into town for the first time in years, has absolutely no idea what he's walking into...

-

Duke can hardly believe that after more than 15 years away, he’s about to step foot in Haven again. He’s been putting it off, truth be told. He’s been hearing rumours about strange, impossible things happening here for a couple of years now, and he knows that means if he’s going to keep his promise to his father he needs to move back. But he has so very many reasons not to that he always manages to talk himself out of it.

He doesn’t want to be here now, in fact but; a job’s a job. And provided nothing too … Haven happens in the next few hours it should be a simple one; deliver the package, get paid, leave. Easy. He hopes.

He finds the meet point, no problem. Even with 15 years worth of time for memories to fade and things to change, he still knows this town like the back of his hand. He’s a little early, so he waits. And then, all of a sudden, he’s surrounded by people moving far quieter than they have any right to, given how heavily armed they are. They’re good; too good for a little fishing town like Haven. He tenses, wary of being set up.

“You have a package for us,” a voice states as its owner moves out of the shadows towards him.

He opens his mouth to reply, then realises who he’s talking to and blinks in surprise. “Ian Haskell?”

Haskell isn’t surprised at all however. “Crocker. The package?”

Something about this whole thing suddenly feels very off to Duke, and he takes a step backwards.

“I can see it in the bag,” Ian points out. “Ten Grand, right?” he adds, and chucks a brown envelope over where it lands in front of Duke’s feet. “Count it; it’s all there.”

Duke picks up the money and flicks through it; it looks about right. And tucked in the envelope with it is a letter, in exactly the same format as the ones that provided him with all the other information about this job, thanking him for the delivery. He looks a little closer, just for show, but all he really cares about is the money, after all. So he hands the package over, nods to Ian and turns to leave, hoping to get out of there while Haskell is still checking it over.

But Ian barely even looks at the thing, just tosses it to one of the others. “The Chief wants to see you,” Ian tells him.

“Excuse me? I don’t know what was in that package, but I’m fairly sure it’s nothing you want Haven PD knowing about.”

A ripple of laughter runs around the room, and Duke feels that Something’s Out Of Place sensation again. Has he wandered into a parallel universe? Is there some Haven strangeness going on afterall?

“I’m not talking about the ‘chief of police’,” Ian clarifies, putting disdainful quotes around it with his intonation. “I’m talking about The Chief.”

“How many chiefs does Haven have?” Duke can’t help asking.

“You have been away a long time,” replies Ian; a statement that things had changed. “He wants to see you, and you’re going to want to see him, trust me. I don’t want to knock you out and drag you there unconscious, but I will if I have to. Are you going to come with us?”

Duke looks around the room. He has a gun tucked in his belt, of course. And he has a knife strapped to his boot, of course. He could take out a few of these goons. But a whole room full of armed and well muscled people who held themselves like they knew how to fight? He's drastically out-gunned.

“Fine. I’ll come with you.”

-

They lead him to what he had thought was another out-of-use warehouse (Haven always tended to have a few of those). It looked abandoned from the outside, but once they got in there, was full of life. He doesn’t have time to take in all of the details as they walk through the first room (too busy checking for potential routes of escape), but he knows an illegal operation when he sees one, and this is bigger than a lot he's seen. Ian walks him up to a door with a couple of heavies standing guard outside it, the whole thing feeling more like a bad gangster movie every second.

One of the heavies nods to Ian, who opens the door and tells him, “The Chief will see you now.”

Duke gives him a look as he walks past him, still trying to work out what’s going on here, still trying to work out how the feckless Haskell has become so confident and efficient. Then he turns to look at the room he’s in; an office. A simple, normal office, with a noticeboard behind the desk and a plant on the filing cabinet. The occupant of the office - this apparent ‘Chief’ - has his back to them as they walk in, but Duke knows who it is even before he turns around. It just takes his brain a moment to catch up with what he’s seeing. But then turn around he does, and Duke finds himself face-to-face with those perfect blue eyes for the first time since they got into a massive fight about going travelling when they were 21.

“Nathan?!”

“Crocker. You made it," Nathan replies with a faint and slightly disinterested surprise.

Duke on the other hand is so surprised he has to sit down

To be continued ... (hopefully)
