I found this really cool website called Tune Find where you can find songs you really like from a tv show it tells you the name of it. You just go to the show title and looka t what episode its from. I bought a bunch of songs that were on Scorpion including Looking Too Closely by Fink (ep 2), Over The Creek by George Ezra (ep 16), Love Vigilantes by Iron & Wine(ep 10), What Happens In Vegas by Chuckie (ep 4), Waiting On The Sun by The Shys (ep 5), and Wicked Games by The Hot Damns (ep 10). I also found that the song You Are In Love by Taylor Swift perfectly matches Quintis. Listen to it and see if you can see it too.
Thank you to those who actually read my boring rambling :P. As always reviews are greatly appreciated. I really am trying to be able to post each Sunday but teachers seem to love to give out homework:( I actually finished this chapter at one in the morning. But that's partly due to procrastination which is my fault. Well on with the story.
10. Breathe Again
Nothing makes you think of relaxation more than having to defuse a bomb that has less time on the clock than you brush your teeth. Now Toby knew that this case wasn't supposed to be fieldwork, only finding and retrieving data, but he has started to notice that whenever Cabe brought in so called easy cases they were always the ones that took the huge turns and became challenges for Scorpion.
This case was supposed to be a simple analization for likely places where terrorists might set off bombs to make the most impact. Walter let Happy, Paige and I continue working on our personal projects and Sylvester and himself worked on their computers. Twenty minutes later the two geniuses had a list of cities, places and likely times to give to homeland.
Finishing it wasn't very surprising so they didn't do a big celebration. Everyone went back to whatever they were doing before hand. Walter went back to working with Cabe Jr., Paige and Ralph went back to finishing up his latest school project. Sylvester got ready to go to the hospital to see Megan. Toby hung around Happy trying to make it seem like he wasn't watching her by acting like he was reading a new psychology book he ordered last week.
The team was surprised when Cabe came back into the garage fifteen minutes later with a strained look on his face.
"Get in the van. One of the sites you listed was being looked over and we found that they planted a bomb a few minutes ago."
Everyone grabbed their stuff besides Paige who stayed at the garage to watch Ralph. The team had come far emotionally over the last few months and she knew that they would be able to fend without her.
The team got to the train station quickly. As they arrived they noticed that an evacuation was already happening. Toby was quickly pulled away to start profiling suspects from the security cameras. Sylvester stayed with Cabe while Happy and Walter went off to stop the bomb.
Toby easily ided the guy and told the officers on the scene. He continued to watch the security cameras as Happy worked to disable the bomb. The clock was steadily getting closer to zero. Toby held his breath as he saw the clock hit five seconds and Happy cut another wire. The timer stopped and Happy stepped back from the bomb and put her hands on her knees.
After the bomb squad finished securing the station the team was thanked and was left to do whatever they wanted. Walter and Sylvester took the van back to the garage after Happy and Toby reassured them that they were fine and going to grab a bit before heading back.
Toby knew that they couldn't keep their relationship a secret forever but Happy had asked for him not to mention it to the team. It was pretty useless though. A few days after they had officially decided that they were dating Paige came up to Toby and told him, "Just because it will take you actually telling Walter to find out don't think I can't tell. You are smiling too much to hide it, and it doesn't take a behaviorist to see that."
Toby also knew that after telling Happy about what Paige said to him she would go to Paige for relationship advice. He liked seeing Happy participate in a thing so ungenius like as girls night.
They entered a restaurant a few blocks from the train station and were seated instantly.
The two geniuses quietly read over the Chinese menus until Toby spoke up. "You never seize to amaze me."
"What?" Happy replied not knowing what he was going on about.
"I was watching you through the security cameras as you were disarming the bomb. You alway kept a level head and never even looked nervous. I was scared to death as the timer got closer to zero, and you just continued working." Toby explained.
"You could see me?"
"Yah, I knew that you could do it. But the time scared me. I could have lost you today."
Happy looked down at the table avoiding Toby's look, "Truth is I might have looked like I had a level head but I was scared. It was really complex and I knew I didn't have time for mistakes. I don't think I took a breath till the ticking stopped."
Toby let out a quiet laugh, "Really? Cause I couldn't breathe the whole time." The waitress came by and took their orders, "It would of been kind of funny if both of us died of lack of oxygen." Happy smacked Toby from across the table. "Too soon?"
Happy gave a smile. "I'm just glad we both made it out of there. All I want is to finish this night with a relaxing movie then go to bed."
"I'm with you on that." Toby agreed.
After finishing off their Chinese food Toby called for a taxi to pick them up and take them to Happy's apartment.
During the twenty minute drive Toby noticed how exhausted Happy was when she leaned her head to rest it on his shoulder like a pillow and started to doze off. Toby paid the driver and her picked up and carried her into her apartment. He laid her on her queen bed and took off her shoes. Quickly he decided just to spend the night as they have many times before and shut off the lamp and kissed her before following her lead and dozing off to sleep.
