Happy had been working on a her bike, music blaring, and hadn't heard him come in. She hadn't heard Paige gasp as he walked through the door. She hadn't heard Cabe and Walter run to catch him as he fell. She had been working. She hadn't heard. She did not know.
Toby had gone out a few hours earlier to clear his head. He had announced it to her, "Happy, I'm going on a walk. I'll be back."
She hadn't know why nor did she really care. She just kind of assumed he was trying to elect a response or read her mood. And since she hadn't been in the mood to bicker she elected not to respond at all.
When Toby had left the garage he was thinking about Happy. He was always thinking about Happy. Unfortunately this tended to be self destructive.
"Happy," he thought to himself. "What does Happy even really mean, in the context of my life, in my work, at scorpion, with her ..."
He again pondered the fact that It was odd that a woman named Happy could send him sipiralling into depression. It's not that she was mean. No she was never mean. It was more of her strength and her silence. He could read people. He could read her, but it was much harder with her. She would not give him an inch. She would not trust him or share her feelings. She saw him as "Doc" and refused to be annalized. He could understand why she couldn't understand. He didn't want her to be his patient or even his friend. He wanted so much more.
These were just some of the thoughts in his head when he happened to walk into the bar and find himself at a poker table.
He didn't mean to do it. He knew she hated his gambling and would hate that he had done it again, but he couldn't help it. The booze calmed his mind and reading others made him feel less insecure about not really knowing the one person that he truly wanted to.
Of course, this didn't end well for him. The problem is when he got drunk, he got sloppy. He would be cocky, overconfident, and a strait up jerk; which is what happened this night.
After he took a beating from some of the chumps he conned he was barely able to find his way back to the Scorpion headquarters. As he stumbled through the doors he heard Paige gasp. He looked around and noticed Happy was no where to be seen.
This was the last thought that crossed his mind before he blacked out.
