Chapter 2

Later at the same day, Eric and Nell watched some TV together and of course he had let her decide what to watch like a true gentleman always did. They both enjoyed having all the free time they had together outside from the job at NCIS, of course it was no problem for both of them to be professional when they were working at OPS and it had actually taken some time for her to not be so much afraid of the r-word anymore. Of course he had always wondered what had exactly made her being so afraid of a relationship with another man, but he certainly didn't want to push her in anyway and had finally decided that it was for the best to wait for the time when she was ready to talk about that.

Eric was suddenly interrupted in his train of thought as Nell asked: "Hey Wolfram want some Oreos?" That question certainly made him grin widely, because he fallen in love with his partner even more after he had known that the two shared the same addiction to Oreos. Taking chemical elements as their nicknames had become some kind of a weird habit to them, since they had first revealed to each other what were their personal favorites in the periodic chemistry system and the two of them really had a good chemistry most of the time. "Of course I want some awesome Oreos Ananoctium." He finally replied, took two out of box and then she placed them back on the glass table that stood right next to the couch where they sat on right now. They both had been through good and bad times in the past, Nell having witnessed that one terrible moment where he almost got frelted and for a moment he really had thought, that he wouldn't get out of the testing chamber alive.

Steve Marks couldn't really go to bed this evening, he looked through a photo album of so called "surveillance photos" of Nell admiring her beauty as he looked for a couple of minutes at them and thought: Very soon we will see us again Nell and I'm looking forward to it a lot. In his mind he was of course busy with planning how he would get her here to his place, without anyone noticing and surely nobody would be able to separate them again because he was so much determined to not let anybody get between him and the love of his life. Thankfully the time in the mental institution hadn't fully killed his powerful mind, which he had been famous for in his good old days in the Navy and his high IQ surely had been that one big reason that people had hated him so much.

In his mind he already had made a list of a few things, which he needed to buy before he could set his big plan into motion and to get them he had to talk to one of the few people that he could fully trust. Joe Peterson had been the one guy that he could always count on, after all his friends and family had betrayed him, of course life hadn't been easy after this whole incident but in the end only thing mattered: That soon, this whole big wrong in his life would finally been set right as he would soon get his revenge on Nell Jones.

You should have welcomed the admiration I had for you, but instead you decided to break my heart and now I'm going to hurt you as bad as you did hurt me. He finally emptied his second beer bottle, but he still could think totally clear because his mind wasn't clouded that quick by anything: not even two bottles of beer.

Two hours later

As the film that Nell and Eric had watched on TV was finally finished, Nell was the first one to get tired but she tried her best to keep her eyes open just a little more. Of course they had to get up early tomorrow again for work, but having free time from the very time consuming job at OPS was very rare and so she wanted to enjoy every minute with Eric. She would probably have called anyone who said some years ago to her that she would be in a relationship with another man again after this one bad incident that she had to go through at one point totally crazy but thankfully Eric had helped her lot to get over her fear of the famous r-word.

Eric had noticed that Nell had a hard time to stay awake and so he asked: "You tired Rockstar; you maybe want me to take you to bed?" No matter how she tried, this was a really a fight she couldn't win and so after her eyes had shortly flickered open again for second they closed for the final time and the only way she could react was mumble a yes into her boyfriend's reaction. He put one lonely hair strain back behind her ear, then he carried her bridal style into the bedroom after he had had switched off the TV and whispered softly into her ear: "Sweet Dreams Rockstar." He shortly kissed her on her forehead before he disappeared into the bathroom to get himself ready for bed.

Meanwhile Steve Marks also lay in his bed but he still couldn't really sleep, his mind was still busy with planning his ultimate revenge against the woman, that had chosen to not feel the same love for him as he did for her and to him it was really a shame that things had to end like this between them but she had left him no other choice.

You brought this all on yourself little Nell, you're going to pay dearly for what did to me, after this your life surely won't be the same anymore and you will rue the day where you broke my heart.

Before he then finally closed his eyes to sleep his eyes focused on one special photo in the middle of the wall that he directly looked at from his bed: Nell Jones in front of her apartment, checking her mail box and having some kind of look on her face that said: I know that someone is watching me. But he would make sure that she didn't expect him this time.
