Melissa was starring at Becker's body. She had been starring for a long time, thinking in everything that had happened and what that man really meant to her.

He had almost died back there and she knew if she hadn't been there the medical team had never arrived on time. Unfortunately she couldn't avoid him being hurt. She had saw Ethan shoot him, and she did nothing to stop it. It's not like she could, even if she wanted. Melissa didn't have an EMD, and she really didn't know how to shoot.

Mental note:go to the armory and train the shooting she thought. So there she was worried sick about Becker, who was just lying on a bed, on the medical ward. Alive, but still very weak. Apparently the EMD shock was on a high voltage. She was also worried sick about Connor. Jess had told her he had left in a hurry looking for Philip and Melissa could still hear Danny's words in her head "Philip is up to no good." Melissa had this strange and very strong feeling that something was very wrong. Like something bad was going to happened, and it had started already with Becker.

"Mel?" Jess's head popped on the room. "Did you go home?"

"Melissa smiled sadly "Not really, I was worried with Becker and Connor. Did he come back already?"

"No, and Abby didn't heard from him again, after the message he sent saying he wasn't going to sleep at home. He didn't even answer the phone." Melissa could tell Jess was also worried about Connor.

"What about Matt?"

"He is still shaken with Emily's departure. He doesn't say anything, but you can definitely see it on his eyes." Jess made a pause looking for Mel and for Becker and then continued. "Lester wants to talk to you."

"Can't you say I'm busy?"

"He knows you're here, it was him who told me to came here to find you."

"How the h…" Melissa was surprised.

"I really don't know." Jess smiled "It's like he knows everything, every time.

"Yeah." Melissa was nodding in agreement "It's like he is the White Wizard of the ARC."

"What?"

"You know I grew up with Connor right? I can't avoid the geek side sometimes; sorry it's stronger than me."

Jess smiled, "You still need to go and talk to Lester, I think it's important." Melissa looked to Becker, and Jess quickly add "I can stay here if you want."

Melissa could see she was being sincere, she had a little bit of jealous of Jess, but she knew she also cared for Becker, and right now, she just didn't for him to wake up and find out there was no one there. Even if it wasn't her.

"Ok, thanks Jess. I probably won't take long."

Gladly Melissa had a spare change of clothes on her office, so she rapidly change her top and tried to look the more awaken as possibly to go and see Lester.

"You want to see me?"

"Yes Dr. Roberts. How is Captain Becker?"

"Still not awake."

"You know our staff is the best there is, you didn't need to spend the night watching over the Captain." Lester was clearly teasing her.

"You wanted to see me just to let me know that?" Melissa tried to change the subject, because she felt she was blushing.

"No Dr. you know I have more important things to do then to worry about your love life." For some reason Melissa was pretty sure, that wasn't entirely true, and that Lester, took his time to pair up the Arc team with the jokes and sarcasm. "First I need your r…"

"Report." Melissa finished his sentence.

"Very well Dr. I hope that means you'll deliver it really soon. Second Philip is worried about all the public exposition the ARC have being having, and he is afraid of eventually lawsuits, and people finding out the reality of what we do here, so we talk and the minister approved hiring a lawyer, that will also act as a PR."

"Oh, like Jenny?"

"Nothing like Jenny." Lester voice was a little harsh

"Sorry. You miss her right?" Melissa could actually see that Lester cared for the former PR.

"No I don't." Lester tried to sound detached. "But she was a PR. and Philip hired a lawyer that will have some PR tasks, to avoid that we're sued.

Melissa smiled. "Ok so you need me to…"

"Talk to him and see if he is able to join us, and if he really understands what's in stake here."

"When?"

"Now Dr. Roberts or do you have any other important business that you're not paid to do, to attend?"Lester was again teasing her, and Melissa was upset she couldn't go back to the medical ward. "All the paperwork is probably already on your desk. He is probably waiting for you outside your office.

The office door was opened, although she couldn't see who was inside.

"You know it's rude to walk in to the office of someone without being authorized." Melissa stopped, looking in shock for the man sitting on the chair. "Not to say it is highly unprofessional, and really invasive." She didn't know if she was angrier for the intrusion or for facing the person in front of her.

"You are right, and I was not going to enter, but then I saw you in Lester's office, and I realized Dr. Roberts was actually you, so I thought you wouldn't mind." The man smiled at her.

"I thought you knew me better than that." Melissa tone was harsh.

"So do I Mel, so do I."

Melissa closed the door, breathing slowly to calm herself down. How the fuck was the world that small?

"But you're probably right." the man said when Melissa reached her chair. "I'm sorry for entering without waiting for you." He was now facing her with his big blue eyes "Hello Dr. Roberts. I'm William Carson, lawyer, I believe you're going to interview me to check if I'm able to do join your agency."

"You are emphazing your Scottish accent on propose Will." Melissa was trying to sound upset, but that man just knew how to make her lower her defenses.

"No I'm not. You know me better than that."

"Yeah I do. That's the problem."

"Does it still turns you on?" he was asking with a very teasing look.

"No. Stopping thinking you're that good." She loved that accent, and he knew it.

"Are you not mad anymore? he said giving her a really cute smile.

"Well… How the hell did you end up here?"

"I left the company, I was looking for something different, and then this came up. You know I always thought, well WE always thought of going to work for some secret agency together."

"Yes we did, but that was just one more of our crazy daydreams."

"And after all here we both are, together."

"We are not together Will, not anymore."

"Dr. Roberts." Melissa could hear Lester through the intercoms "The Captain is finally awake.I thought you might be interested to know."

"Yes Lester. Thanks." She couldn't help a big smile on her face.

"What? Who?"

"Not now Will. You're not dismissed; I'll be back in a second to finish your interview."

A/N: So what did you think? I't a small one I know but I wanted to upload something, next ones will be longer.

Yes I'm adding a new OC character what do you think so far? Too soon to tell?

If you are reading his lines with a strong Scottish accent you're doing it right! :)

Beth this is shorter cause you were so eager for a new chapter... so it's your fault muahaha LOL

Andy I was planing on doing this character from the begining he was going to be only a PR (cause let's be honest, it's really strange they don't have one) but then you talked about lawyers and you gave me this idea. Thanks =) I hope you like Will
