A/N – this is again some more Zane thought. It's just my ideas on what's going on inside that head of his when he gets caught for doing things by Jo – this is intended to be the new timeline, but before the founders day incident. Reviews and criticism are welcomed and highly appreciated.

Thanks to clarinetto14 for both the fave and the review, and thanks to Pchefbeth for the support

Oh and I do not own any of Eureka or its characters … but I still really want to live there :D

BEHIND A VEIL OF UNTOLD EMOTIONS

He could hear the click, click, click of her heals as she came down the corridor.

He stood there, in his lab.

Alone.

He knew she was close.

She would soon be here.

Screaming and yelling.

He didn't know why he did it.

It wasn't for the supposed rush or thrill.

It wasn't just a prank.

There was more to it.

Deep down he knew why.

He just didn't want to think the words.

If he did there would be no going back.

He heard the door open behind him.

His palms were sweaty.

He reluctantly turned…

…faced her.

His breath caught.

This was stupid.

He knew he did this for her attention.

He was a fool to think he could lie to himself.

He was scared.

So scared at the thought of being vulnerable.

Easy for the picking.

Open to be broken…

So he did what he did best.

He hid behind his well built walls.

Joined the rest of his emotions.

Heightened his defences.

Braced himself for whatever she threw at him.

Masked his face with a well-worn smirk.

"Why hello there Jo, what can I do for you today?"

A/N – So what do you think, good, bad, okay? Please review – I love reviews... :D
