Eavesdropping
Becker and Carlson, "Carly," the ARC weapons expert
"Isn't she beautiful, Sir?"
"Yes, Carly. I shouldn't be looking though, I promised Jess I'd cut down."
"I understand, Sir. Women just can't understand us appreciating pure beauty. It doesn't mean we're deviants or anything."
"I know, but she can't get that through her head. It's like I'm cheating on her or something."
"Jealousy is an ugly thing sir."
"Look how sleek, and thin her body is," said Becker.
"She might be tiny but she packs a punch, Sir."
"She's strong?"
"Oh, yes Sir, but she's quiet as a mouse."
"That could come in handy."
Then two men laughed. "Yes, Sir. If you needed it too."
Becker smirked. "Not that I ever would."
"Of course not. Plus you like some sound, don't you?"
"Don't most men?"
"S'pose so."
"How dependable is she?" asked Becker.
"Very dependable. Baby would never let you down."
"I think I'm in love."
"Better not let Miss Parker here you say that."
"I can't help it. I have weaknesses like any other guy."
"You know," said Jess, entering the armory, "It's a good thing I know that you're drooling over a gun, or you'd be in a lot of trouble mister. So would "she."
Becker and Ladies' Man Lt. Vale
"Isn't she beautiful, sir?"
"Yes, Vale. I shouldn't be looking though, I promised Jess I'd cut down."
"I understand, Sir. Women just can't understand us appreciating pure beauty. It doesn't mean we're deviants or anything."
"I know, but she can't get that through her head. It's like I'm cheating on her or something."
"Jealousy is an ugly thing, Sir."
"Look how sleek, and thin her body is," said Becker.
"She might be tiny but she packs a punch, Sir."
"She's strong?"
"Oh, yes Sir, but she's quiet as a mouse."
"That could come in handy."
Then two men laughed. "Yes, sir. If you needed it too."
Becker smirked. "Not that I ever would."
"Of course not. Plus, you like some sound, don't you?"
"Don't most men?"
"S'pose so."
"How dependable is she?" asked Becker.
"Very dependable. Baby would never let you down."
"I think I'm in love."
"Better not let Jess here you say that."
"I can't help it. I have weaknesses like any other guy."
"You know," said Jess, entering the armory, "It's a good thing I trust you Captain, or all three of you would be dead."
"There's only the two of us here. I swear Jess, we were looking at a picture," said Vale.
"I know," said Jess. "Don't you think I could find out who and where she is?"
"I'll be seeing you, Sir," said Vale. "No offense, Jess but I'd rather fight with a raptor."
Becker smiled. "So would I," he said, looking at his perturbed girlfriend. "Hi, Honey."
Jess and Emily
"I need it. I want it. I don't care if it's too much, or if I just got one yesterday. I'm insatiable. Becker doesn't understand."
"Neither does Matt. He cannot introduce me to such things and not expect me to indulge, frequently. I come from a very repressed time. I was not allowed to express myself."
"Oh, I know, Emily. They expect it of us to a certain extent. Think about it, if we don't go all out they think we're dull, but if we want to indulge more than they think is necessary than we're over excessive."
"Indeed."
The women looked up to see a crimson-faced Lester. "I don't think that is appropriate chatter for the office," he whispered.
"What? Shoes?" asked Jess.
Emily looked equally baffled.
"I...uh, Carry on," said Lester, leaving so quickly he bumped into the wall.
Jess and Chef Bernie
"Oh, my God!"
"Isn't it the best you've ever had?" asked Bernie.
"It is! Oh, it is!"
"I tried something different."
"It worked. It's so moist and yummy."
"You don't mind that it isn't traditional?"
"Not at all."
"I am very glad. I love pleasing you Miss Parker."
"Oh! I am very pleased. Becker's going to be miffed, though."
"It's his fault," said Bernie. "He shouldn't have left you alone."
"You're just too much of a temptation."
"Thank you."
They heard the sound of a throat being cleared and Jess looked up from the chocolate cake.
"Hi, sweetie."
"You couldn't wait?" asked Becker. "All you had to do was meet me in Ops and we could have come down together. Move over and let me have some."
The three of them were startled by coughing, gasping and giggling.
"What is that?" asked Becker.
"Oh, I guess I left my comm on again, sorry," said Jess. Then into her ear piece, she said "Would you guys grow up!"
"Sorry, Jess," said Abby. "We kind of let our imaginations run a little dirty."
Jess could hear Connor and Matt still laughing.
"I hate it when they do that," said Jess, turning off the comm.
Becker smirked. "Why does it seem to happen when chocolate is involved?"
"I can't help it. You know what chocolate does to me. You have to try this," said Jess, spooning cake into his mouth.
"Hmm! Oh! That's good. Bernie, you're amazing."
Bernie smiled. "Thank you, but it's a good thing Miss Parker turned off the comm."
The End, for now
