- Take Care (by Brigitte Wehling) A missing scene from "A Matter of Policy." Cody figures Nick owes him, and he's going to make him pay, and pay, and pay . . . Or at least he's going to make Nick think he's going to pay. (3)

Cody finds his wayward partner, but he's not the man he knew before. Believing that Nick was the target, the detectives allow the hunter to quietly stalks his real prey -- Cody Allen. (55) (winner of a 2000 FanQ)
- Baxter Bernard, R.I.P. (by Cinda Gillilan) A tag to "Baxter and the Boz." Bax is dead, but he has one last favor to ask the guys. The only question is, can they do what he asks? Reprinted from Anything Goes #5. (12)

But when he's attacked and left for dead, Nick and Cody have to do some serious soul searching, as well as find Murray's attacker before they strike again. (19)
- This, I Know (by Sheri Young & Deb Gholson) A post-"The Smiles We Left Behind" story. Cody is still stinging over Janet's second rejection, and nothing Nick and Murray do seems to help. When Murray finally asks Nick what he did the last time this happened, they hit on a plan to pull Cody from his funk. Time, place and circumstances give the three men a chance to explore their friendship and the nature of love. (25) (winner of a 2002 FanQ)
- Changing Realities (by Jody Norman) Murray is out of sorts about a conference and a reunion of sorts - lunch with three friends he'd gone to school with. He's just not sure he's made much of his life. But the tables are turned when all four are abducted by mercenaries working for an old nemesis. And he plans to sell off their collective talents to the highest bidder. While Nick and Cody race to find their friend before it's too late, Murray must draw on everything he's learned as a member of the Riptide Detective Agency to keep them all alive. (50)
- Of Fathers and Sons (by Londa Pfeffer) Nick is just getting used to his son knowing that he's his father when Nicky ends up in the hospital for a simple operation that turns out to be anything but. (13)
