This chapter is a bit smaller than the others but I wanted this little interaction to be on its own. Hope you like it


"I'm looking for Walter O'Brien. He here?" It was a girls voice.

"Who is it Sly?" Toby was standing at his desk reading, when Sylvester went to answer the door, he could see the big guy shifting his weight nervously, no big deal. Sylvester's always nervous.

"A girl, she's looking for Walter."

"Walt doesn't usually give his dates the work address, she must be special."

"What's going on?" Walter made his way down the stairs, crossing the garage and making his way to the door.

"One of your dates have tracked you down." Walter looked at him confused before relieving Sly and motioning for the girl to follow him. She definitely wasn't what Toby was expecting, she was small, asian and there was a fiery energy coming from her. Definitely not Walter's type. He found it hard to get a read off of her, there was just something about her. He watched as the two of them went upstairs.

"Who do you think she is?" Sly spoke quietly.

"I'm not sure." Toby spoke slowly, still trying to figure the girl out staring at the direction they went. A little while later they came down.

"Guy's this is Happy Quinn,mechanical prodigy and genius engineer. She'll be joining Scorpion. Happy this is Toby Curtis our behavourist and this is Sylvester Dodd our human calculator and statistical analyst."

"Nice to meet you." Sly shook her hand before going back to his chalkboard.

"Right over there," Walter pointed to the far end, "is your area, it's the bit of the garage that we actually use as a garage. Feel free to work on whatever projects you want but every now and then you will have jobs to do outside of the garage so that we have money for other things." Happy nodded and with that Walter went back upstairs. Happy made her way to her work space when she felt someone watching her.

"What!?" Se snapped, turning around to look at Toby.

"Nothing." He shook his head but just before she walked away he spoke again. "For someone called Happy you're very angry."

"It's my name, not my personality. Besides, there's not much to be happy about."

"That's kind of cynical."

"Well cynical people usually are, you know, cynical."

"Glad to see some sarcasm alive in you." In the corner of Toby's eye he say Sylvester stiffen, he didn't like confrontation even if he isn't involved in it. He doesn't like being around it.

"Listen Doc. You might be a shrink but don't try and analyze me." She didn't give him time to respond before she walked away and he couldn't help but smile at the nickname. He shook all thoughts of Happy out of his mind when his Fiance called him two hours later.


Please let me know what you think, I love reviews and I hope this wasn't too short for you.
