A/N: sorry that it took long for me to update my story. Please review! Ok and my story is kinda AU so I will use the other episodes that happened after fever.

Beth couldn't keep her mind on her work. Her new story was about a local dog, that had gone crazy and mauled it's owner. She was staring at the same word, for the past hour and a half. Bite┘ every time Beth looked at that word her mind involuntary jump to that ratty motel in the dessert. Where Mick bit me.. Beth had to admit though, it wasn't bad. Actually she enjoyed it immensely. Now me and Mick are bound and he can't keep me away. Beth couldn't help the smile creeping on her face, when the thought of her and Mick together. Until┘

"How that report going?" Maureen said just above Beth's shoulder, in turn making Beth jump.

"Don't sneak up on people like that!" Beth exasperated. She did have enough of people grabbing from behind.

"Who's the man?" Maureen, sat on Beth's desk, arms crossed.

"His name is Ben, and┘"Maureen interrupted her.

"No, the man who has you, lookin' like a fool. And don't tell me it's Josh, cause believe me when I say this. Josh has never made you look that happy." Beth was to stunned to speak. So Maureen continued.

"It's ok, I'll figure it out in due time." With that Maureen got up and left, a speechless Beth to her thoughts.

I do Not like Mick like that! But then a small part of her argued.

Then why do you, smile every time he calls you or runs into you?

And Beth was speechless again.


Leni was making her way back to Mick's apartment. Grocery bags in each hand. Unlucky for her she trip over her sandal. As she was preparing herself for the impact two strong arms grabbed her from behind.

"Thanks Mick. You saved me again." Leni said as she bent down to pick up the fallen groceries. When she realized that Mick gave her no response. That's weird, Mick usually has something to say┘

"You know since I'm going to be staying with you Mick, you are going to have to talk to-" Leni was turning around while she was saying this and looked into the eyes of her savor. When she realized that it wasn't Mick. Instead she was looking a someone who was just as pale as Mick, he looked younger, and very modern in his Armani suit, and his light brown cropped hair, but he seemed very old. Aside from that, his eyes were cold and hard. Sending shivers down her spine.

"Your not Mick." Some part of Leni told her to be terrified, but another part. A part that was a weird unknown feeling, told her the he was special, and nothing can happen to while he was around.

Getting ready to answer, his deep caramel eyes looked into hers, and she saw something change. The ice was gone, and by the looks of it, this unknown person, was shocked by that change as well.
