Author's Notes: Missing scene from 'Mended Fences.'


Jessica Merrick smiled as she stood up, her sister's hand on her shoulder. "Thank you, Mr Scarbrow," she said, looking up to Peter. "It's Peter. We're rather informal around here," He told her, putting his hand on her other shoulder. "I'll do my best. Right now, we'd better go and call your mother, and tell her that you're safe."

"Okay," Jess nodded.

"I'll talk to her first, don't worry. I'll make sure she doesn't yell at you," he winked. "Catch up with me in reception in fifteen minutes," he added, before leaving them alone in his office.

"You were right. He is a good guy," Jess agreed, sitting back down again. Shelby sat next to her, and put her arm around her sister.

"He is the best," Shelby replied quietly. "Don't ever tell him I said that. Penalty of death."

"Understood."

"Jess?" Shelby continued.

"There's plenty of time to talk about everything, Shelby. For now can we just be happy we're both here at Horizon?" Jess replied, resting her head on Shelby.

"Okay," she nodded, smiling and stroking Jess's hair.

"I missed you, Shelby. I missed your jokes, and your smile, and your voice. I missed you," Jess admitted.

"I missed you too."
