"As you wish." - Westley, The Princess Bride
[ARC – 6:00 a.m.]
-Becker's Point of View –
I had been writing a letter to Abby all morning, after last night I had figured out that, yes – at least on some basic level, she did want me as well - if that moan she let out when I broke our kiss was anything to go by.
My first tactic had been to go after her relentlessly until she yielded to me – however, now I am going to try and get her to come to me of her own accord, I finished the letter and sealing it I put it in her locker for her to find.

-Abby's Point of View –
When we drove up into the car park Connor got out and went right in, I let him go ahead. I got out of the car and leaned against of the driver's-side door trying to get my courage to go in.
How was I going to handle seeing Becker? What if he tries something today? Would he try something at the ARC? Would I mind if he tried something? What if I lose all control and jump on him instead of the other way around? Did I just admit that? Do I want that?
'ARGH!' I screamed mentally. I pushed off the car and headed in, I was glad that I didn't see Becker right away. I went to my locker and opened up, the first thing I noticed was a letter taped to the inside of the door. The only word on the front of the letter was 'Abigail' – it was in Becker's handwriting.
"You have got to be kidding me." I mumbled looking around me seeing that there was no one near; carefully I took the letter down and opened it.
Abigail-
I want to tell you about the first time I knew I felt something for you beyond friendship or workplace acquaintance. Please to remember back to over a year ago when Danny and Sarah were still with us. You had just saved a dracorex from a lance injury. I remember when I came in and saw Sir William holding that sword to your throat. I had never been so scared in my entire life – that is the moment that I knew I was in love with you. Even Sarah's pleading to stop me from shooting William because it may alter everything didn't seem to have an effect – I was going to kill him before he hurt you in spite of the consequences if it came down to it. I would have then and still would kill for you. I am a slave to you now; anything you ask of me I will gladly do.
Yours Eternally, Becker.
I leaned against the wall, my legs having gone weak. I took the letter and reread it then put it back in the envelope and put it in my back pocket.
Has Becker lost his mind? There are times where I swear we could never stand one another and now all of a sudden out of the blue he is declaring his undying love for me. There had to be a mistake – he was just jerking my chain
I marched into the armory – going with an educated guess I knew he would be there. Miraculously Becker was alone.
"Becker!" My tone was sharp he turned around giving me a soft look.
I decided to call him on his bluff, I have him an evil smile. "Becker, shoot yourself with your stun gun." I challenged – going with the first thing that came to mind.
He gave me a pained look. "For proof? As you wish." He pulled out his gun turning it to face his chest.
Oh shit, he is serious.
"Becker, no, STOP!" I cried.
In one swift movement he put the gun down. "When I said anything Abby, I did mean anything – I am yours." He soothed, his voice just a little bit above a whisper. My heart speed up until I was sure it would explode.
The alarm blared, and for once in my life I was glad to have an anomaly open.
