Adventures in Colombia (Javier Pena)

Summary: FBI Agent Kaitlyn Moore decides to go to Colombia for vacation.

A/N - The story of how Kaitlyn (from my Narcos x Criminal Minds Universe) and Javi met.

What had possessed a young woman like Kaitlyn Moore to travel to Colombia for vacation?

She couldn't tell you. Maybe she wanted the adventure of being in a foreign country where she didn't know anybody.

She wasn't planning on nearly getting killed however. Kaitlyn was walking down to the bodega not far from her hotel when two men drove by her on a motorcycle. She didn't think anything of it until one of the men pulled out a gun and pointed it at her. Before she could reach for her FBI issued gun, she was tackled to the ground. She heard shots being exchanged and then the motorcycle sped off.

When Kaitlyn opened her eyes, there was a man on top of her.

"Are you alright?" he asked her.

The man on top of her had the softest brown eyes she had ever seen, dark hair, olive skin, and a mustache that looked like he stepped out of the 70's but somehow it worked on him.

She nodded and he helped her up.

"Javier Peña, DEA."

"Kaitlyn Moore, FBI."

"FBI? You here to catch Escobar?"

"Uh, no. I'm on vacation."

Javier laughed. "A female FBI agent vacationing in Colombia during the biggest cartel war this country has ever seen? How long have you been here?"

Kaitlyn shrugged. "Couple days."

"I'm amazed it took them this long to try and kill you honestly. They can't really kill a DEA agent, so why not go for the next best thing?"

"Well, thanks for saving me Agent Peña."

"Anytime, Agent Moore."

"Where are you staying?"

Kaitlyn narrowed her eyes at him in a way that made him laugh.

"I'm not stalking you. I promise."

Kaitlyn gave him the location of her hotel.

"Oh, that's not far from the Embassy."

"I picked it precisely for that reason."

"Maybe we'll run into each other again."

Kaitlyn gave him a small smile. "If you're lucky."

The next time they ran into each other, Javier sharing a drink with his partner.

"Javier Peña, as I live and breathe."

Javier turned to her. "Fancy seeing you again, Miss Moore."

"Let me guess, she was one of your one-night stands?" Steve asked.

"Actually he saved me from being shot in the street," Kaitlyn explained.

"FBI Agent Kaitlyn Moore, DEA Agent Steve Murphy," Javier introduced.

"FBI? What's an FBI agent doing in Colombia?" Steve asked.

"Vacation," Kaitlyn told him.

Steve laughed. "Vacation? In Colombia?" Steve looked at Javier.

"I know. I told her the same thing."

"Girl, you've got balls."

"Might if I join you gentlemen for a drink?" Kaitlyn asked. She slid into the booth next to Javier.

Steve told her about how he got into the DEA and about his wife Connie and their daughter Olivia.

"Oh, she sounds adorable! I'll have to come visit sometime!" Kaitlyn gushed.

"Yeah, Connie would love to meet you," Steve said.

"If I had known how much you loved babies, I would've introduced you sooner. If you ever want one, you know where to find me." Javier winked as Kaitlyn blushed.

She shoved him. "Shut-up." Kaitlyn met Olivia and Connie a few days later. Kaitlyn had of course repeated her story about how Javier had saved her, making Javier blush like a schoolboy.

"You two are such a cute couple!" Connie sighed.

Javier and Kaitlyn looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Me and her?"

"Yeah, no."

"Never."

"Never ever."

Connie frowned. "Oh, but I thought..."

To most people, the two would look like lovers but they were friends and they wanted it to stay that way.

Javier was stressed. It'd been weeks since they'd had a lead on Escobar and it was starting to get to him. He lit up yet another cigarette as Kaitlyn entered the Embassy.

She bounced up to Javier's desk.

"Kait, I really cannot handle your sunshine personality today," he told her.

She frowned and walked around his chair, putting her hands on his shoulders. She dug her fingers into the base of his neck and Javier let out a soft moan. "You worry too much, Javi. Take a break. C'mon. I'll buy you a café con leche from that café you like."

"I can't. I have..."

She turned Javier around and said, "I wasn't asking, Javi."

He finally sighed and stood up, grabbing his gun and his leather jacket. He put his arm around Kaitlyn's shoulders.

They passed Steve on the way out.

"Hey! We're going out for lunch. You're welcome to join us," Kaitlyn offered.

"Nah that's fine. I gotta go over some files for Friday's meeting. But you two have fun."

"Okay then."

The two of them walked out. It still surprised him that the two hadn't slept together. They were affectionate and flirty and frankly couldn't keep their hands off each other.

But it could be years before they caught Escobar and Kaitlyn had her job at Quantico.

But Steve was glad that Javier had finally found a friend in Kaitlyn, no matter how much she annoyed him sometimes.
