Hello I'm a bit of a Noob here so if you could tell me your opinions on this it would be greatly appreciated. (Disclaimer: Obviously I don't own any of these characters.)
She'd grown to be a part of his soul, Toby thought as he watched Happy working on her motorcycle. He never thought anyone could be more important to him than his ex-fiancée, he was prepared to spend the rest of his life with the woman but somehow fate had mixed its way into his life and he had ended up here with his quirky, perfectly dysfunctional family named Scorpion.
He loved watching Happy work. It was the only time she looked totally at peace. He loved the way she would practically reveal what she was thinking with her facial expressions, if she was confused she would knit her eyebrows together or scrunch up her nose until her genius brain found a solution or when something wouldn't work out she would (in typical hot-headed Happy fashion) smash her fists on the table or work out her frustration but taking a hammer to something. Just as he was about to make his way over to her to explain that expressing violence toward inanimate objects is an unhealthy relaxation method Cabe came in announcing a new case.
"Everyone listen up! We've got a new case on our hands. An inside man in a terrorist cell has handed over information that starting tomorrow the group will take explosives to two famous American monuments, attacking one each day for the next two days, we know that the first place they are planning to hit is The Washington Monument tomorrow around noon. Homeland has that under control but the problem is that after our inside man revealed said information we lost all contact to him and have no way of knowing when and where the next attack will take place. So that's where you come in."
"Ok, Sylvester and I will get into their computers to find any possible information about the pending attack. Cabe, you talk over what you know with Toby and Happy to try and get a profile on these guys and their plans." Walter explained while grabbing his laptop.
Happy knew her main skill set might not come in too handy at this point in time but she knew Toby would get a kick out of using his psychological skills and no doubt mention his Harvard education about twenty times during the conversation. But she didn't mind, she actually quite enjoyed watching the doc do his thing. His eyes darting from picture to picture deducting details about everything, his constant use of hand gestures while talking at five hundred miles an hour. "The fact that they chose The Washington memorial as their first attack shows that their going for impact more than death count, if they wanted to have a high amount of victims they would of chose an extremely frequented place and most likely not a landmark. See, I think they're trying to destroy proud American landmarks in order to send a message, instead of killing civilians they're trying the kill the nations pride. And judging by the fact they chose a landmark with a low rate of security I'm guessing they'll try the same again next time." Toby exclaimed smugly as he dropped his beloved hat on his head. "And what happens if you're wrong about this doc?" Happy asked sceptically. "When have you ever known me to be wrong princess?" Toby replied with a sly grin on his face. Happy tried to fight it but she couldn't help but let a little smile out herself while no one was looking. Happy could feel her walls that she'd worked so hard to build up falling down slowing brick by brick. Even though every instinct in her body was telling her to scowl and return to her garage to be alone with her tools, she couldn't help but notice a slowly growing soft spot for that crazy shrink she called her best friend. And she really didn't mind.
"We've managed to find some messages sent from the terrorist cells computers. They mainly consist of coded material and some confusing pages of text but we got some information in one of the codded texts about an event at the big apple which we obviously believe means this next attack will most likely be taking place in New York." said Sylvester.
"Nice work sly." replied Toby before following Happy into her garage where she was going to get things packed up.
"You know the whole following and staring thing you've got going on is feeling kind of stalker'ish." remarked Happy. "I like to believe that persistence is the key, even if that means I run the chance of getting a restraining order." Laughed Toby while trying to occupy himself by fiddling with some metal trinkets he sometimes saw Happy working on. "Well as much as I'd love to have a permanent five hundred metre distance from you, you don't exactly annoy me that much…. yet." Happy replied sarcastically. His eyes met hers for a few seconds that felt like an eternity to him.
"So the big apple eh." Happy said as she awkwardly moved to the side of Toby. "Yep, the place where dreams come true." Toby muttered as he put one arm around Happy's shoulder.
