Disclaimer: Don't own the show except the DVDs. But I will find a way to get the rights to it and then maybe get more seasons longer than 6 or 7 eppies long
Summary: The ARC get's a new PR Representative from America but she seems to be hiding something that everyone is trying to figure out. But what is her tie to Abby and Connor and Becker and how did she exactly get the job?
5 Months Ago
As Sarah woke up she felt a certain heaviness around her waist, she smiled to herself as she looked over at Ben, resisting the urge to kiss him, or reach up and touch him. He'd been with her for the past month, helping her transition and it meant the world to her, but she knew he had to go back home, to their home.
As that realization set in, she got up and began getting ready for the day, it wasn't until she had finished getting dressed she noticed he wasn't in the bed anymore. A frown came upon her face as she searched the bedroom. Beginning to panic she walked out to the living area
"Ben? Ben?"
"Yeah" Ben said as he walked up behind her with two tea mugs
Sarah jumped a bit as she turned to him "I thought you had left"
"Never, not without saying goodbye first"
Sarah smiled a bit as she took the mug from him "Better not, or else you would be without a fiancée"
Ben smirked "Now, that I can't have"
Sarah sighed as she walked to the couch and sat down, Ben joining her as she put her legs on his lap. "I wish you didn't have to go today"
Ben gave her a sympathetic smile as he placed a hand on her thigh "I know, but you know that I have to. I can't be here too long until the right moment."
Sarah sighed as she took a sip of her tea "I know, I know, I just don't want to go another two months without you."
"They'll fly by so fast you won't even notice I'm gone. Plus you have the team to keep you company."
Sarah snorted "Yeah, except I have to deal with Matt, who's very suspicious of me. He keeps giving me weird looks and so does Becker. But that's for a different reason."
Ben laughed as he got up and walked towards the kitchen "Well, what do you think happens when you shoot the coffee maker?"
Sarah got up to follow "Listen, you weren't there, it was going crazy, shooting coffee everywhere, it was possessed"
Ben stopped at the sink, taking Sarah's mug and placing it in the sink with his "So you shot it?"
Sarah just looked at him "I saved lives"
"Who's?"
"Mine and anyone else who could have been there"
Ben just smiled and shook his head while wrapping his arms around Sarah's waist and looking into her hazel eyes "I love you, but sometimes you can be a bit weird"
Sarah pretended to be offended by swatting him on the arm "Watch it you, I know who your grandparents are"
"Point taken"
A comfortable silence fell between the two as Sarah closed her eyes, placing her head on Ben's shoulders. He was her rock, her home, her life. He made her who she is and will always be. That's what made this whole mission that much harder for her.
"Sarah?"
"Hmm?"
"When this is all over, can we finally get married?"
Sarah couldn't help but laugh as she looked up into his eyes "I'd like that very much. A three year engagement much too long"
"I agree, but in all fairness every time we planned the wedding an anomaly would show up"
"True. How about I plan everything for the wedding while I'm here and when I get back that very day, we'll get married."
"Agreed. Of course you'll be giving me information on what we need right?"
"We just need a cake, get you a tux and I'll get the dress from here"
Ben smiled for a bit but it faded away as Sarah's doorbell rang. Ben gave Sarah a curious look before whispering to her "Are you expecting anything or anyone?"
Sarah shook her head as Ben let go of her, taking an EMD out of his bag and turning it on and walking to the front door, hiding behind it as Sarah went to answer it. Sarah looked at him before he nodded. Once she had opened it, her hand shot from the doorknob to Ben's EMD, lowering it.
"Connor! Matt! What are you guys doing here?"
"We came to pick you up remember?" Matt said as he eyed her suspiciously
Sarah forgot her car was in the shop, she wanted to kick herself "Oh, yeah I forgot to tell you guys that I'm catching a cab to go pick up a friend from a hotel and take them to the airport."
"That's okay, we'll give ya a lift" Matt said
Sarah started to shift from side to side "No, that's fine, my friend wants it to be just me and them"
"And the cab driver" Connor said
Sarah gave Connor a smile "Yeah and the cabbie. Listen I have to get going soon, then I'll be at the ARC"
Matt just kept his eyes on Sarah "You've got an hour. Don't be late"
Sarah and Connor just looked at him as he turned and walked back to the truck and climbed in. Connor looked back at Sarah and gave her a sympathetic look.
"Sorry, he's been kinda on edge about you lately, I think when you shot the coffee maker kinda did it in."
Sarah smiled at him "It's okay, he's weird in general. Go on, I'll be there in a bit"
Connor gave Sarah a nod before running off to the truck, getting in and Matt taking off. Sarah watched them to make sure that they were out of site before closing the door and looking at Ben.
"See, I wasn't exaggerating about Matt"
Sarah started up the stairs with Ben following, as she walked over to the window he wrapped his arms around her waist. Bending his head to her neck and softly kissing her before sighing and looking out the window.
"Yeah, you most definitely weren't exaggerating. Sorry for thinking that."
Sarah laughed before turning around, wrapping her arms around his neck, her forehead toughing his, her eyes closed "It's time, we have to do this fast, or else the ARC will pick up the signal and get here. You were lucky they didn't pick up the one you came through last month."
"I know, I know. Please, please, stay safe."
Sarah laughed and looked at him "Always am"
"I'm being serious, Sarah. I can't come back for another two months. If I come back and your injured in anyway, the mission is off. Is that understood?"
Sarah pulled back a bit to look at him in the eyes. She knew he was serious when he talked like that. And it was meant to be warning as well. She just gave him a tight nod.
"Good, now, I need you to do something for me."
"Anything"
Ben unwrapped his arms and walked over to his bag by the couch, unzipping a compartment and pulling out a thin, box and handing it to her. Sarah looked at the box then at him with curiousity before taking the box in her hands. As she unwrapped it, she felt Ben's arms once again wrap around her waist but looser this time.
When she opened it she saw a white gold chain with a pendent of a moon on it. She held it in front of her as if to get a better view of the piece of jewelry just presented to her.
"Ben, it's beautiful"
Ben smiled and brought his lips close to her ears "Happy Birthday, Love"
Sarah smiled as Ben took the chain from her hands and put it around her neck. Sarah turned as soon as he was done and brought her lips upon his, holding him close, never wanting to let him go. When she finally pulled back, she realized she was crying.
"It's time" Ben whispered
All Sarah could do was nod, as she stepped back, watching the man that she loves pick up his bag, take out a device, key in a few numbers and watched an anomaly open in her living area. And as she stared at it her eyes connected with Ben's as he backed up into the anomaly until he was fully gone.
Sarah couldn't help but sob as she walked over to the device in on her desk, picking it up and walking to the front of the anomaly. She almost didn't want to close it, she wanted to run through it and be with him. But she knew too much was at stake. It wasn't until she heard pounding on her front door when she knew she had left it open for too long.
She quickly punched in some numbers and the anomaly was gone. She wiped the tears from her face and hiding the device back in her desk before going to answer the front door. As she swung it open, there stood Matt, Connor, Becker, Abby and Emily. All holding EMD's and all staring at her.
Sarah looked around at them oddly "Yes?"
Becker was the first to speak "What are you doing here?"
Sarah gave him a look as if to say 'it's my home idiot' but just settled with "Um, this is where I live. What are you guys doing here?"
Connor looked around at the group then at Matt "Is Jess sure this is where the ADD picked up the signal?"
Matt lowered his gun as he stepped over the threshold of Sarah's door, his eyes still on Sarah as they stared each other down "She's sure"
Sarah looked at the group "Wait, the ADD said there was an anomaly here?"
Matt cut everyone off "Yeah, move out of the way Sarah, please"
Sarah just crossed her arms and stood her ground "I don't think so. I think I would know if there were an anomaly in my home, Matt. Is this because I refused a ride into work today?"
Abby spoke this time "Sarah, we really need you to move, now."
Sarah just sighed letting everyone in but Connor being the only one to give her an apologetic look. As she followed them into the living area she made sure to watch them carefully. As they all spread out, Matt just stayed with Sarah in the living area until they all returned.
"Matt, there's no anomaly here. Maybe there was a glitch in the ADD" Connor said as he walked in and the rest of the group following.
"Yeah, could have told you that. Oh wait, I did. Are you happy now?"
Matt put his hand to his ear "Jess, no anomaly here we're heading back"
As everyone filed out Matt walked up to Sarah. "I thought you had to go get your friend"
"I was about to when you lot showed up."
"What are you hiding, Sarah?"
"My personal life for one"
"I'm sorry if I'm not very trusting of you, but I have my reasons"
"What because I'm American and new to the team?"
"Exactly"
Sarah just looked at him, this was a slap in the face to her "Well, deal with it Matt. I'm going to be around for a while so you better get used to me being here"
"I'm not trying to make you my enemy, Sarah but if there's something your hiding you can tell me. We can protect you"
"I'm not hiding anything and your one to talk about secrets future boy"
Matt held her gaze for a while before looking away then looking back her "Fine, I'll find out Sarah. I always do"
Sarah watched as Matt walked out of her flat, closing the door behind him. As she walked to the window and watched the trucks pull away she couldn't help but feel sad. She needed all of their trust, especially Matt's, who's trust was going to be the hardest thing to gain.
As she went to get her things ready, she had this feeling that her device was missing, as she went to look in her desk draw it was gone.
"DAMN IT!" she screamed as she slammed the drawer closed.
She gathered her things and swung open her door to find Matt standing in front of her holding the device.
"Found this in your drawer, forgot to put it back" he said handing it to her
Sarah smiled "Thanks, it's something my friend invented and I promised to keep it safe"
"This friend of yours, is he or she supposed to be the one that your taking to the airport?"
"No, this is someone else. Childhood friend, sort of a genius."
Matt just nodded "Well, sorry for taking it. And sorry about before. Phillip is still fresh so we're all still on edge"
Sarah nodded and smiled thinking that he was finally trusting her "It's okay, I get it. No harm done. Just been hard for me too, ya know. But you'll see everything will fall into place"
"It sure will. See you at the ARC Sarah"
And with that, Matt had gone back to the truck, gotten in and pulled off. Sarah stood watching the truck disappear, she couldn't shake this feeling like he now knew more than he did before. And that's what has her more worried.
