From Behind The Shadow

Rumours:

Matt headed into his office, pausing as he past Suzanne's desk, but kept his eyes on the newspaper that was in his hand.

"There's a picture of Harriet and me in here from yesterday." He stated.

"I saw." She smiled slightly. "It's cute."

Matt looked at her. "It's not cute."

"It's terrible." She changed her comment without a second thought.

"What do you mean it's terrible?" He questioned.

She sighed. "It says you guys are back together...Are you?"

"No, we went out for lunch!" He claimed. "Simon was meant to come with us but he backed out at the last minute...I only went because I was hungry."

"I could have ordered you some food in." She pointed out.

His eyes narrowed at her. "Are there any messages for me?"

She tried to hide her smirk. "No, except Danny said to let you know that the meeting for this afternoon has been cancelled..."

"Great." He replied, heading inside his office.

"Oh, also..." She picked up a bit of paper to read off of. "You're going to die a horrible and slow death."

He stopped in his doorway and slowly turned to look at her.

"If this is about the raise Danny promised you..." He started.

She rolled her eyes. "It's not from me...Someone left it here for you."

"Harriet?" He questioned.

"I don't know, I didn't see who do it."

He took the note off of her and read the whole thing before throwing it in the trash.

"Don't you think you should keep that?" She asked.

"It's some idiot's idea of a joke." He told her. "I've had hundreds."

"It didn't sound like they were joking..."

"Suzanne, I guarantee you that it's just a prank." He stated. "I'll be in my office, trying to fix the E.R sketch."

Suzanne sighed and went back to work; if Matt wasn't worried then there was no reason for her to be either.

It was Friday morning Matt was working hard on a sketch, trying to get it just right when Danny walked in.

"How's it going?"

"Can't stop...Got to work..." Matt answered.

"Good, glad to hear it." Danny sat down in front of the desk.

Matt tried to ignore him but even with him just sat there silently was distracting him.

"What? What is it that you want?!" He exclaimed after a few minutes.

"I thought you were working..."

"Apparently not." He leaned back in his chair. "Just tell me what's going on and then we can all get back to what we were doing."

"You and Harriet seem to spending a lot of time together."

"We went out for lunch once!" He stated but Danny gave him a look. "Okay twice..."

"And what about this morning?"

"That was coffee, it's different."

"Matt..." Danny sighed, leaning forwards and taking his glasses off to rub his eyes.

"I haven't done anything!" He said defensively.

"But you're thinking about it."

"No, I'm not."

"Yes, you are...I know you!" Danny replied.

"I thought you'd be happy that we're friends." Matt said. "Instead of fighting all the time."

"Yeah, it's great that you're getting along, but I don't want either of you to get hurt again."

"Danny, it's not a problem."

"I think it is."

"Look, we're not back together... we're not thinking about getting back together..." He assured him. "Yeah, it's nice spending time with her again but we still have a lot of things to talk about and stuff to sort out...That's why we're spending time together."

"And that's all?"

"Yes."

"Okay, just be careful."

"Yes, Mom."

"Don't get smart with me..." Danny said standing up. "And get back to work."

Matt rolled his eyes but didn't comment.

"You got another letter..." Suzanne informed him, later that day as she walked into his office. "And here's your coffee."

"Thanks." He took the cup. "What does it say?"

"Pretty much the same as the others." She replied. "Maybe you should let someone know about this."

"Nah, it's fine...If this guy wanted to kill me, he would have done it by now."

"Why are you so calm about this?"

"Cos it's not a big deal. I'm not going to get all scared by some jealous loser."

"Maybe you should still tell Danny."

"He'll freak out."

"Maybe he has reason too."

"Suzanne, just forget it, okay." Matt sighed. "So what, I got a couple of letters... big deal."

"8 letters in 3 days..."

"Just trash the letter and forget about it." He told her again.

She sighed. "Yes, sir."

A few minutes after the door closed behind her, Matt's cell phone started to ring.

"Hello?" He answered but there was no one on the line. "Hello...Look, whoever this is, just stop it okay! It's not funny… It's not cool..."

He hung up and let the phone drop to the desk. He hadn't told Suzanne about the phone calls he has been getting to his cell phone nor about the emails he was sent. He knew she'd just worry even more and would tell Danny; who would set up a 24-hour security team to follow Matt around. There was nothing to worry about... It was just probably some kid, trying to get on TV.

"Tell me again, why aren't you going to the wrap party?" Matt asked as he followed Danny down the corridor, as they were getting ready to do the live show.

"Jordan and I want to spend some time together."

"You can't do that at the wrap party?"

"No, Matt...We want to be alone..." He rolled his eyes. "Is that okay, with you?"

"I guess..." He shrugged. "This is weird."

"What is?"

"Us not doing things together any more."

"We do stuff together."

"Not like before."

"God Matt, you make it sound like we're a couple or something." Danny commented.

"Fine, I won't share my feelings with you again."

"Can I have that in writing?" Danny replied. "You going to the wrap party?"

"I don't know..." He shrugged. "Might be weird."

"Why?"

"Cos Harriet will be there."

Danny stopped and turned to look at him. "What have you done to her?"

"Nothing!"

"Matt?!"

"She got some roses sent to her and she thought they were from me." He explained. "I got a 5 minute lecture on what kind of message it sent out to people if I send her flowers, before I got chance to tell her I didn't send them."

"And?" Danny promoted.

"Then she got mad cos I didn't send them..."

"Why?"

"I have no idea." Matt replied. "Woman are very complicated."

"No, just the ones you date." Danny quipped and started to walk again.

"Coming from the guy who's been divorced twice." Matt called after him.

Matt had stayed and re-watched the show after everyone had left. Not because he didn't think it was a good show but he wanted an excuse not to go with everyone to the wrap party. He still hadn't made up his mind about whether he should go or not. He didn't know what to say to Harriet...Suzanne was still going on at him about the letters and it would be no fun without Danny there.

He decided to just go home and get some rest. It had been a long week. When he reached the car park, his cell started to ring.

"Hello?" There was no one there. "Not this again, look..."

Matt stopped when he heard the sound of screeching wheels from behind him. He turned and was blinded by headlights as a car came towards him at speed, not giving him any chance to move out of the way.

The hood of the car made hard contact with both his legs, flipping his body into the air before he crashed down onto the windscreen, the glass smashing as he did. Suddenly the car reversed, causing Matt to roll off the car, cracking his head hard on the concrete.
