A/N: I just found a Jecker-story in my files, which I never posted. So well here it is now. I hope you enjoy it!

With elated steps Jess walked up the stairs, her light blue high heels clattering through the hallway in a happy melody. With each step the anticipation she had felt already in the car grew. The young woman clamped a bunch of files loosely in her hands. Those files where the reason she was here, only a few meters away from Becker's flat.

Jess had noticed the missing signature on Becker's report about the latest creature incursion when she'd collected the writings from all team members. Since she knew that the reports needed to be on Lester's desk the following morning, and due to the fact that Becker had another two days off and that Lester would be really annoyed if the report was incomplete, Jess had decided to stop at Becker's on her way back home. Silently she was hoping that maybe Becker would invite her in, if only for a moment, so that she could get a glimpse of his life.

A wave of nervousness washed over her when she stopped in front of Becker's door. Jess' heartbeat increased and her grip on the files tightened. She took a deep breath and quickly rang the bell.

Sounds from the other side of the door told Jess that there were only seconds before the door would swing open, but the young Field Coordinator wasn't prepared for the thing to come.

A woman, only two, maybe three, years older than herself, answered the door, but turned her head away from Jess after she had rewarded her with an apologetic smile, "Don't worry Hil, I answered already."

Jess took the moment to collect herself. Becker had never mentioned a girlfriend or wife, but now that she thought about it, he hadn't denied it either. Jess suddenly felt stupid and piqued by her own hopes.

When the woman faced Jess again, the brunette spoke quickly, her eyes wandering around, not able to hold her counterpart's gaze.

"I'm Jessica Parker, I work with Captain Becker. Our boss needs reports in by tomorrow and Captain Becker forgot to sign them. Could I please see him for a second?" Her voice was steady, her tone polite but distanced.

If Jess would have focused on the person in front of her, she would have seen the glint in her eyes the moment Jess introduced herself. She would have noticed the movement when the woman folded her arms in front of her chest, the way she leaned against the door frame, the smirk crossing her features paired with a raised eyebrow in an instant.

"You're Jess?" The woman asked with a hint of amusement in her voice. It was obvious how uncomfortable Jess was and the woman could imagine the reason too well, "I'm Benny, Becker's little sister. Hil told me a lot about you. Why don't you come in?" Benny chuckled under her breath, when she saw Jess the moment she introduced herself as Becker's sister.

Surprised by the invitation, but even more by the revelation, Jess acutally looked at Benny for the first time. She had black hair, which was held back in a loose bun. Benny wore dark denim jeans and a green top and suddenly Jess saw the resemblances. The numb feeling she had felt since the door was opened subsided, and relief washed over her.

"Sure, if that's not hassle?" The smirk on Benny's face broke into a warm smile. "No, not at all."

Wondering what Becker had told his sister about herself, Jess followed Benny into the living room.

The walls were painted white, but all furniture was black. There were no pictures or other decorations hanging on the walls or standing in the cupboards. Only a few books stood on the shelves. Jess stood by the big window front that occupied nearly one wall. The view onto Hyde Park was breathtaking.

"Great view, don't you think?" Benny, who had excused herself to make them both a cup of tea, returned to the living room with the hot beverage.

Jess walked to the sofa and nodded, "Yes, it's great."

"Trust me, it's even better when it's dark." Benny placed one cup in front of Jess' on the coffee table and made herself comfortable on the second half of the sofa, one leg tucked under her.

"So, you are Jess." Benny stated and mustered Jess again, who nodded and reached out for the cuppa.

"And you are Benny." Jess matched the other woman's tone and smiled.

Benny laughed. "I like you."

Cheerful chatter caught Becker's ear as he exited the shower. Thinking Benny had turned on the TV; he stepped out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his hips, his hair damp and water droplets on his shoulders.

He saw Benny's smirk first when he crossed his living room, then his eyes fell on Jess, who was sitting on his sofa.

Jess' face turned bright red as she met Becker's eyes and she quickly averted her gaze.

The Captain glared at his younger sister, who only shrugged her shoulders. With a sweet smile she informed her brother.

"Jess came over because you forgot to sign some paperwork. I invited her in, would be rude to leave her standing in the hallway until you were done showering, wouldn't it?"
