Sorry for the lag between updates! I went to see JLS at Cardiff and lost track of everything, even the time school started! Hope you enjoy.

The ARC feels different as you step through the doors. The first thing that meets you is the WANTED-CARL GREENWATERS poster. He's been missing since you returned a week ago. The last you heard, Lucy was working across the city in a senior school and Morgan had moved to New York as part of security. You hope Becker never moves.

You head up the corridor and bump into Abby. "Hi!" you smile.

"Off to the menagerie. Really busy sorry!" Abby blurts out, dodging you. You frown. Odd.

You take the corridor to your office and are almost squashed by Danny as he drops from the ventilation shaft. "Sorry, testing security. Totally crap. Have you seen Becker?" you shake your head and he's gone before you can get out a half decent 'hello.' You drop you bag onto the floor under your desk and pick up a folder to give to Lester. You make it to Lester's office and are met by Connor running into you, scattering the folder all over the floor.

"Connor!"

"Sorry, I'll give it to Lester. I have a message for him." then he's gone. You hear Jess try to sneak past behind you.

"What's going on here?" you demand. "Everyone's being so weird!" Jess looks at you, fumbling for an answer. Jenny appears with Danny in tow and grabs Jess.

"Sorry, have to borrow Jess." Matt bursts in a moment later and you point in the direction that they just went. Something is seriously wrong with the ARC team. Sighing, you turn and see Vikki talking quietly to Becker. She laughs before catching sight of you. She smiles, waves and disappears out of the door.

You sigh, closing your notebook. Four hours you've been here. Four hours and you've seen none of the team, not even Becker since last night. You know something is wrong when even Lester wont speak to you. You slip the book back into your bag as your phone buzzes.

Hey. Sorry I'm really busy. Talk to you later okay? Love you lots. :) Xxxx

It's Becker. You wonder whether to reply and decide that, if you don't, he'll want to know why.

It's fine. I'm bored ridged. X

It's not really what he deserves, but you're too hacked off to text any more. You decide you desperately need a hot drink (A/N: insert your fave hot drink here) You make your way up the empty hallways of the ARC. That's odd because there's always someone in the ARC. But there's no one. No sound or movement from any office, just a deadly silence you could cut with a spoon made of cheese.

You push the door to the staff room open and it's pitch black. You move a few paces into the room looking for th switch and you hear the door close behind you. You curse, flicking the light switch. Nothing. You turn back to the door but it won't open. "Bloody hell!" you kick it in frustration. First no one's talking to you now your stuck in a dark room. You reach for your mobile but it's not there. It's still on your desk. Something touches your shoulder and you jump. Someone laughs. It's a deep, vibrating sound that you'd know anywhere. "Becker?" you hiss.

"Hello." he muses, wrapping his arms around your waist and pulling you closer.

"What the hell is going on here?" you demand and his arms tighten.

"I'm trying to do something here."

"Really? Is everyone else in on this too?" The sudden realisation hits you. "Jess sent the text, Lester kept me busy with paperwork, Connor cut the lights, Jenny kept everyone busy and I bet Matt, Vikki and Danny are on the other side of that door."

"Exactly."

"Can you tell me why it's dark?"

"So I hopefully won't mess up." Becker takes a deep breath before continuing. "I've know you my whole life and I can confidently say I've messed up enough time to know what you don't like." you laugh but otherwise stay quiet. Your heart is thumping. "And I know you. I know what you feel, what makes you happy and sad, what winds you up and how you feel towards certain people. And I know what I want is, hopefully, what you want."

"Becker are you-" he cuts you off, turning you to face him. You can vaguely see his face in the darkness and you can see him drop to on knee. You feel your heartbeat get even faster.

"So, I'm telling you I love you and I'm asking...will you marry me?"

Sorry that it's so short guys! Cliffie I know.
