Becker's Flat
The girl's POV
I crept out from under the surveillance screens. How long does it take for that woman to go away? I cautiously crept out into the corridor, looking around as I headed back to the main room. I looked behind me, double checking that no one was following me. I don't think anyone would here. They all seem nice.
As I passed someone, they grabbed my wrist, stopping me from going anywhere else. They started pulling me away from the main room. I struggled against him. Then I froze when I caught his face.
Captain Wilder!
What's he doing here?
"And they said they didn't know where you are." he sneered. "Christine will be happy."
He tried once again to drag me out of the ARC. But I let out a scream and kicked him. He let go of my arm and I run towards the main room. Becker was already coming to find out what was going on, with the others following. Even Lester. Becker held a small gun up at Wilder. I hid behind the soldier, peeking around to see what Wilder was doing. My hands were gripping onto his t-shirt.
"What do you want with her?" Lester asked.
"She's different. Christine wants to know how." Wilder replied. "And what she can do to the anomalies."
I hid even further behind Becker. Becker didn't move the gun, just stood still, prepared to shoot.
"If she doesn't get the girl. I am allowed." Wilder grabbed Lester and pointed a gun to his head. "To use force. Now lower the gun."
Becker didn't waver, but then lowered the gun, holding it to his side. I looked up at Becker. He had a worried look on his face. I looked back to Wilder, who was smirking.
"Now. Give me the girl." he warned. "Or you won't have a boss anymore."
Becker looked back at me and I looked up at him. I slowly let go of his t-shirt and stood beside him. I slowly and nervously walked towards Wilder. He let go of Lester and shoved him forward, making him stumble slightly. Both Lester and I walked towards each other. As soon as we were side by side, he stopped me and asked:
"I hope you know what you're doing."
I nodded and continued to walk towards Wilder. I slowed down to a stop just before Wilder, who was now starting to look angry.
"Get here now!" he ordered.
I shook my head.
He held the gun up to me. "Don't make me shoot you."
I looked at the door beside him and smirked. He's in line with the menagerie door. The lock clicked loudly and the Dracorex roared before it stomped out at Wilder. He took off down the corridor with the creature following. I smiled at her. After a few minutes, she trotted back, chirping happily at me. I tickled her chin as a thanks. I led her back into the cage and locked the door. I bounced back to the stunned crowd, frowning at them.
"Well." Lester said while straightening his tie. "Good job. Let's just hope he doesn't return."
Lester went back to his office. I think anyway. Becker led me back to the main room, where I spotted a small photo. I tilted my head as I looked at it. I smiled slightly at it. They looked cute. Becker went back to, probably, what he was doing before Christine came. Fiddling with his gun. I poked his shoulder to get his attention, and then pointed to the man in the photo, then him. He nodded. I then pointed to the girl.
"My ex-fiancé." He replied, causing me to frown. Ex? "She died in a war."
She what?
"Right." Lester called as he walked down the ramp. "Unfortunately, you cannot stay here. So you'll have to find someone to stay with. Preferably someone from this facility."
Where can I go?
"She can stay with me." Becker interrupted. "If she wants to."
I smiled up at him and nodded.
"Here we are." Becker announced as we walked into his small-ish flat. "It's not much but it's something."
I spun around in circles, like I did in the main room of the ARC. It wasn't very big, but then again, he did live on his own so this size would be perfect for him. It had a very modern design to it. But, I don't think he done it on his own. I think someone helped.
"You can have my bed, I'll take the couch." He offered.
I didn't want him to give up his bed for me, but I have a feeling that he wouldn't let me sleep on the couch anyway. He'll probably just drag me to the bed when I was asleep or something.
"I'll see if I still have some of Jodie's clothes. Make yourself at home." He headed up to his room.
I wandered around the flat. My eyes focused on the small wooden bookcase. I sat in front of it, reading the spines of all the books, just to see what he had. A lot of Sci Fi ones, some romance ones, Wicked? Since when did he read Wicked? Unless it was his fiancé's. That would explain it.
"Like books do you?" he suddenly asked, causing me to jump. "Sorry. I found a t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants, but I couldn't find a jacket if you want one."
I got up and took the clothes off him.
"Bathroom's up there on the left, the bedrooms opposite it." He smiled, moving the pillows from his sofa.
When he straightened his back up, I wrapped my arms around his ribs as a thank you. He's so kind to me, even though he doesn't know me. I felt him tense slightly, probably not used to this. He placed one of his hands on my back, hesitantly. I let him and go and headed up to his room, not before glancing back one last time. He had changed into another black t-shirt with grey sweatpants. He had given me a similar pair of sweatpants with a plain red shirt with a black rose design on the shoulder.
Once I changed, I hid under the blankets of the large bed. How can Becker sleep in a bed this big?
Cute ending!
I had to have that ending
My brain turned to mushy romance at that point
Some action will start soon
If I remember correctly
