Wow! Whoever said emotional blackmail doesn't work? Please, do continue leaving me reviews!
This continues just after the other one left off. Not actually funny though...
It's mostly just feeder for my next project.
I've forgotten to add this a few times but: I am writing this for the same reason you are reading it. Because like you I don't own Primeval and don't get to chose what gets shown on TV… or when it's shown… or what channel it's shown on…
This is making me sad now so lets move on!
Connor had been struggling with his computer. After spending a good two hours fighting it he left his new lab in search of Jess muttering under his breath about the lack of quality in government property. He assumed it was government as Burton wouldn't allow anything that shoddy to be used. Walking towards the break room Connor spied a couple of Techies acting suspiciously in the corridor ahead. Knowing that the Field Agents had held the upper hand during the week he prudently decided to stay out of their way, unwilling to fall victim to a prank and let the side down. After having to spend a month paying for everything he broke Connor was doing all he could to prevent that happening again. While he couldn't help his natural clumsyness, he was sure he could help keep the Field Agents winning. Taking the long route around Connor found the girls sat enjoying a chat. Abby and Jess occupied a sofa each and Sam sat at her normal position behind the counter.
"Hey, Jess?" The girls looked around noticing his presence. "Can I borrow you for a bit?"
"Of course. My break's over anyway and I need to get back to work."
Jess lifted a pile of folders and followed Connor out.
"I wonder what Connor wanted Jess for." Abby hummed thoughtfully. "You know that means our breaks over too."
"Don't bother about that. Now Jess is gone I can tell you what else happened last night." Sam grinned mischievously. Abby didn't reply. She just waited with an amused expression. "Okay. Do you know Evans?"
"One of Becker's men?" Sam nodded. "Is he the tall one?"
"Abby, they're all tall! He's the one with really green eyes."
"That one! Yeah, he's the one with the huge crush on Jess, hot too!"
"You think they're all hot!" Sam teased then lowered her voice. "You haven't seen them after a night out."
"You agree to go with them!"
"I'm one of 'Becker's Men' I kinda have to! It's hard being the only girl on the team. I can't ditch out of these things, I'd lose my position in the group if I did. I often wonder what it'd be like if it weren't just me."
"I know it's kind of strange isn't it. I wonder why there aren't any other girls."
"I... I don't know. I've never thought to ask."
There was a pause.
"Wait. How did you know about Evans liking Jess?"
"Jess is the only one who doesn't! Just like Becker's the only one who doesn't know Jess is crushing on him!"
"Please tell me you didn't just use the phrase 'crushing on'!" Sam laughed at Abby. "Well I don't think Jess is going to be that ignorant about this for too much longer. After the guy last night tried to stand up he made a remark about 'The ova brd being just as hot.' and he 'wuldn't mind eava'."
"What? How is he not dead yet?"
"Because, Becker was making sure I was okay and Johnson and Wade were fast enough to hold Evans back." Sam smiled widely at the memory. "It was kinda adorable."
"What was? Becker checking on you?"
"NO! Freak! Evans trying to beat the guy up for Jess." Sam started to talk faster, trying to get all the words out before she could be interrupted. "So, after Jess had convinced everyone to calm down and stop trying to beat the guy up, and after I'd called Becky to tell her where to find said guy and to take him to hospital as there was no way on earth we were taking him, Evans offered to take Jess home."
Sam finished by proudly prodding a finger into the work surface to finalise the point and there was a pause as she took in a huge breath trying to recover from the long sentence.
"So? Did she agree?"
"Yeah! But then they realised that she had her car…" Sam frowned. "I would have offered to drive her car for her but Becker had already told me I wasn't allowed. I hate it when he stops me from doing something just after I though about it!"
"Sucks to be you!" Abby laughed at the expression on Sam's face. "How come it's adorable for Evans to beat the guy up but you don't find it adorable for Becker to do it for you?"
"I... It's a totally different situation!"
"No it's not! There are a LOT of similarities!"
"Once again, FREAK! But that's not the point. I was talking to Evans earlier, he's going to ask her to go to dinner with him today!" She squealed in happiness.
Abby pulled a face before laughing as she joked.
"Yeah, if they get together then you and Becker could get together as could Matt and Emily!"
"Emily's married, Abby!" Sam expressed her shock that Abby would suggest that the Victorian born girl would do such a thing.
"That the only bit you're complaining about?"
"What?… NO! Come on Abby! First off, we aren't part of some weird TV show where everyone has to get together with everyone else because it's all scripted and what the people want to see. And secondly, that'd be… weird! Who knows what Becker does in his spare time? Let alone when he's dating a girl!"
"When he's dating a girl? So, sometime's he doesn't date girls?"
"ABBY!" Sam was shocked and then paused. "How would I know?" Another pause. "Hmm… I'm pretty sure he sticks with girls…" The two paused, watching each other think it over. After a few moments Sam started laughing. "I was thinking if Becker did bat for the other team who else did… then the idea of Matt too… and you can see where that's heading…"
Abby started laughing too. "God, can you imagine if they adopted?"
"Their kids would be terrifying killing machines!"
"What about Danny though?"
"What when he makes it back? And with both of them? What kind of relationship do you think they'll be having?" The two girls laughed. "Okay, this is theoretical right?"
"Why are you afraid of the competition?"
"What? I'm not interested in Becker!"
"Sam, I didn't say you were…" Abby winked.
"What? But you just…?" Sam looked confused. "Stop trying to make me admit stuff that isn't there to admit!"
"But, seriously, you flirt with Becker a LOT."
"No, I don't!"
"Okay you don't. But there's sexual tension and a lot of it."
"STOP SAYING THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF! There isn't any anything!"
"See, look how defensive you are! There is something!"
Abby continued to prod at Sam, totally ignoring normal social boundaries.
"Well, he beat a guy up for me yesterday. Of course I have a little crush. But, it'll like, go in a day or so?"
"Is that a question or a statement."
.
"I… don't know?"
Abby laughed.
"You've got it bad!"
"Come on Abby! It's Becker we're talking about."
"I know, I know." Abby paused and for a spilt second Sam thought Abby had dropped it. "So, how do you feel about that?"
"PERSONAL SPACE!"
"We're not going to get anywhere here. We'll continue this when you can finally admit you like him."
Sam opened her mouth to protest and then shut it deciding that the argument wasn't worth having.
"Okay, we've been here far too long and the animals will probably riot if I don't feed them now."At the door, Abby turned for the menagerie while Sam went towards the main control room.
Two security doors down Sam was unable to open the door. She tried three times with her wrist before getting angry.
"Seriously? Who's idea was it to have these doors? Prospero or Government? I bet it's the government. Burton may be an ass but he would terrify people into doing their jobs correctly. I can't believe that the Techies would let…" The penny dropped in her head. "… They're going to pay for this. Serves them right if I EMD the door and short out the entire building… I may blow a fuse or two and with several hundred to check it may keep them busy for a while…" Sam's eyes narrowed. "They're going to regret this."
Sam turned from the door and started to make a different route back to the main control room, unfortunately falling straight into the trap.
This went on for longer but I seriously feel it would be too long and you'd all just get bored. The same day will continue next chapter. Maybe I'll finally bring this to conclusion!
We live in hope.
Tell me what you think.
Thank you!
