A/N: Okay decided after seeing Wired part one and two that I want to change the setting after those episodes instead and don't worry none of those Freedom fighters will be making an appearance in this fic.

Dr. Selig had been resting in the hospital for the last few days not even waking up to eat. If he did wake up he would just have his eyes open and lay in the hospital bed. His assistant looking at him with a great amount of concern. He had been resting for four days and security was tighter than ever. She was sure the security of Dr. Selig rivaled that of the President. "Dr. Selig who saved you?"

"I don't know he was going to tell me his name but an alarm went off." He said softly still rather weak.

"What did he sound like?"

"A soft voice, calm almost soothing telling me not to speak. He was concerned. He sounded hesitant to talk to me."

"Agent Bennet said your Infiltration Unit is after you."

"How does he know?"

"He says every single time you go somewhere he would be there or near by. They assume that he's after you. I believe after the stunt in the Cryogenics lab."

"What a pity that he gets so close and you ruined it for him."

"Aren't you afraid he's gonna kill you?"

"No. I think he's just looking for a way out."

"A way out of what?"

"Killing people." His assistant nodded. "You know what I think Zeta's really looking for?"

"No."

"He's counterpart."

"He didn't have a counterpart."

"Oh come now. Your daughter adored Zeta from the beginning. No one would ever think him a killer if they saw him with your daughter."

"Ha, that was before we put that kind of programming in him."

"He was gentle with her till the day he started his first mission."

~*~*~*~*~*~FLASHBACK~*~*~*~*~

A young blonde hair girl sat before the seven-foot tall synthoid. He kneeled down towards her. She stood up giving him a hug. He hugged her back. "Zeta do you have to go?"

The synthoid looked towards his creators most of them cold blooded beings that had no feelings towards him or any other machine no matter how advance he was. "Yes I'm sorry."

"I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you too." He held her tightly before standing up and moving away. She stood there watching him as he left. Wanting to run after him but she couldn't. Zeta was unable to stay and unwilling to go. He had no choice in the matter.

~*~*~*~*End Of Flashback~*~*~*~*~*~

Dr. Selig looked at his Assistant Andrea Denoso who in turn was really Sally Rowen. So many heart breaking moments in her still young life. She was only thirty-eight years old. Her life was not even half over he hoped.

"I should have never gone out that night she was kidnapped."

"You didn't know it would happen. You got a son who's doing great Sally."

"He's still looking for her."

Meanwhile at a NSA Base

West sat down at his desk. Maybe it was time to give up. He wasn't even doing what he planned on starting with. He just wanted to impress Bennet but it seemed that pigs would fly before that would ever happen. He hadn't even said hello to his mother when he saw Dr. Selig.

Though he wasn't allowed to both separated by the level of clearance they both had. She had to be at level eight clearance and he was barely a five clearance maybe even lower.

The rather gloomy agent turned his head to see his nameplate. "NSA Agent Orin West." He never liked that name very much. Perhaps he could see if he could get it changed again. Get away from the NSA and everything else. Maybe he could get it back to his original name and move somewhere peaceful and he could be just a police officer.

He sighed deeply. This was so unlike him or maybe it was really like him. To be depressed. His unusually light mood was a cover up for what he really felt. "Orin?" He winced as he heard that voice.

"I thought you left." He regretted it. He didn't want Lee to leave. She was the only one with a heart around here. Even though he disagreed on the subject of whether Zeta was innocent or not. That was the only major difference in their opinions that got stuck in the way of their friendship.

"I was grabbing my thing before Bennet kills me." West nodded going back into his paperwork. Lee had done something no one had enough guts to ever do. West could feel her eyes on him.

"What do you want Lee?" He snapped.

"I guess to say goodbye. Heard it's been a rough week on you." She tried to smile towards him but he was in a deep frown.

"Lee I'm sorry for snapping at you. I was just thinking of something."

"About what?"

"It's nothing Lee just forget about it." Lee took a chance by taking a step forward. She touched his shoulder. He violently threw her hand off his shoulder. Lee tried again holding it tighter against him.

"West please tell me what's wrong. If not as your trusted partner then as your friend."

"No Lee I told you to forget it." He walked away from his desk giving up on filling out paper work. She followed him passing by some of the other NSA Agents.

"Oh looks like Lee's mad at West."

"I wonder if she'll finish him off before Bennet."

West walked away heading down the street. "West wait up!"

He sighed giving up on ever losing her. He turned towards her. It was raining lightly. The weather of course reflecting his feelings. Lee stopped beside him. "Lee why do you have to go?"

"Because Zeta isn't what they say he is."

"Why do you even care?"

"I guess because he saved me once. I'm sure some where in between he's saved you."

"I'm leaving the NSA."

"Why because I am? You can stay West."

"No I have other reasons. I have a lot of thinking to do."

"West tell me what is bothering you. Please."

"It has to do with my family."

"Did your nana die?"

"No. I just have some things to take care of." He walked off in the rain soaking him down. He waved for a taxi having one pull up beside him. He stepped in going home away from the NSA and everything else for a while. He would call saying he left all his NSA stuff in his office. He needed someone to comfort him. He wondered if his mother would still keep that promise of if he ever needed to talk that she could lend a ear to listen.
