Michigan/ Motor City

3 days later

Abby's POV

"So how's the weather there?" Piers asked once he adjusted the camera on the top of his computer. It took me about an hour to help him set up Skype on his laptop.

"Piers, it's Michigan." I joke with a cocked eyebrow. "It could snow in July and I'm pretty sure that we'd call that normal." He laughs when I say this. "Are you at home in Philadelphia?"

"Yeah actually. Happy to be here…my parents asked me to say hello for them."

"Aww that's so sweet."

"Hey…um….I was wondering…. We've been talking a lot for the past three days and…I kinda forgot how much I like having you around." My heart jumps and I blush when he says this to me. "So I was wondering if maybe you'd consider going out with me?" I freeze; my body was completely shut down in fear. This has never happened to me before….and I never thought that it would.

"You miss having me around?" I ask beginning to wonder if I had heard Piery right. He rubs his back nervously as he repeats the question.

"Would you go out with me?"

I push my glasses up the bridge of my nose and grin from ear to ear. "A friday night away from my computer? Dinner and a movie included…. That sounds amazing?"

His widen in surprise as if he was sure that I would have said yes out of pity or maybe even have just said no. "You will?" He practically jumped out of his seat with excitement. "That's great…..look I have to go, but I'll call you again tomorrow."

I laugh. "Sounds good. I'll see you then. Goodnight. Piers."

"Night, Abby."

I exit out of the Skype tab and sit at my computer, spinning in my chair as I giggle like a little girl. I sit for a moment in my office and just think….mostly about Mercy. When Becker and I had retured the Intel we had to the BSAA we told them about Mercy and her partnership with Umbrella. I still had a hard time believing that she had done all of this….and for what? I needed to take my mind off of Mercy…she isn't my concern right now. I reopen my Skype link and send a call to Becker. The line rings twise then he answers.

"What is it, Abb?" He was in his lab in DC, working on god knows what.

"I've got a date." I beam proudly in my seat.

He pops his head up from under his desk, his eyes wide and surprised. "With who?"

"Piers."

"Aw no not Spikey." Becker groans. "Don't you have better taste?"

"Becker, come on. I've known his for a long time now. I can't help that he likes me."

"Sure you can, just watch. I command you to stop being adorable!" He shouts waving his finger at me with a laugh.

"Stop it you dork." I chuckle softly with a snort.

"Have fun with him; Abby…I'm glad we got that intel in to HQ and out of Africa in time. Can you imagine what it could do for a lot of people?"

"Yeah...I know. It's pretty damn incredible."

"What's the guys name again?"

I look down for a moment as I try to recall. But it didn't take long to remember the name of the son of who use to be the BSAA'S most wanted. "Jake Muller."

"That's it…..hey…you still haven't told anyone about him have you?"

I shake my head. "No…you and I both know that it isn't our job to share our intel with anyone else besides HQ."

"Yeah I know. But we'll nab the guy…it's only a matter of time." Becker was right; it really just was a matter of time. I wish that I could have told Piers and the others the truth, but I knew the rules to my job. I can't let those rules hit my life. I make myself forget the name…the name that I was almost killed over and leave my office to head home.

(Hey, many more RE Fanfics to come. Let me know what you think of Winter and Holiday and if you'd like to see more of them)
