Nothing to fear
Chapter 3-
I am SO sorry! I totally forgot about Emily! Lol, let's just say she has been on holiday and has arrived back for when the team get back from the New Forest.
You stumble onto the soft wet ground, Becker topples down beside you. You raise your head, Matt, Connor and Abby stand over you. They glare down at you and Becker, the Albertosaurus is only a few paces behind. It's on the floor, unconscious.
"What the hell did you think you were doing?" Matt asks his soft Irish accent now raised, and angry. You look up innocently.
"Matt- It was my fault, I led her through the anomaly." Becker sighs, you glance at him and smile for saving your butt from Matt.
The journey back to the ARC is a permanent awkward silence,
The moment that you and Becker step through the main doors Lester spots you. There's no getting away now.
"Becker! (Your name here)! My office, now." Lester snarls, glaring at the two of you.
You step wearily into Lester's neat office, his now shrivelled up frowning face stares right at you. "Care to explain why two of my best employees decided to ignore the rules and go through an anomaly?" he asks.
"Lester, it was my fault. The creature was after us, I dragged her through the anomaly." Becker growls, you hadn't even realized he'd taken your hand and now has a firm hold of your hand. You gaze up at him, smiling sweetly.
"Oh, that's okay then. Becker, you put not only your life on the line but Miss X as well!" Lester yells. Becker looks down to the floor, a sad, apologetic look stuck to his face.
"I'm- " Becker begins, but he is cut off by Lester.
"Sorry! No sorry does not cover it Becker. Give me one reason why I shouldn't fire you both now!" Lester yells. "Just how do you think I'm going to get this past the minister? If I don't fire you, he will."
Your bosses shouts, his yelling seems to go on forever. Becker sighs, finally giving in.
"Do whatever you want with me, fire me! But her job stays." Becker protests, you've backed out of the argument long ago having let Becker take over. Lester grunts, before sighing heavily.
"You have two more warnings Miss X now get out of my office, before I change my mind." Lester glares at you, you squeeze Becker's hand and walk out. You wipe a thick layer of sweat that has been resting for a while on your forehead.
It's another ten minutes before Becker appears outside Lester's office, you run over, throwing your arms around his neck without even thinking.
"How'd it go?" You ask, he sighs. "I've been suspended, Lester's still got to clear it up with the government though." he replies.
"Thank you, you saved my job back there." You whisper, your arms still wrapped loosy around his neck. "It wasn't your fault, I was the one who dragged you through."
Your arms drop back to your sides and you sigh, you prepare to pluck up the courage to ask him something. "Drink tonight?" You ask, he smiles and eagerly nods.
"Yeah, that would be nice. After work?" he asks and you nod.
"Of course."

You sit opposite Becker in a dark, noisy club as he finishes his sixth beer. You've been talking all evening, and been getting on really well. He gazes at you.
"You're beautiful, you know that?" Becker asks, He's drunk, he doesn't mean it. He's drunk, although you wish so badly that it was the truth.
"Becker, I think you've had a little too much to drink. You should get home." You advise, his red bloodshot eyes still gazing at you lovingly.
"But -" he begins, but you cut him off.
"No but's Becker, home. Now." You snap, you jump up from your seat and help a very drunk Becker out of the club. His arm shoots around your shoulders faster than light and he starts singing at the top of his voice.
"Row, row, row your boat, gently down-"
You sigh, and drag him out of the pub the stench of beer lingering on his breath.
"I'm driving!" Becker shouts, and you gape at him.
"No you're not! You can barely walk! Look, my flats just around the corner, I suppose you can take the sofa." You roll your eyes, seeing as you're never going to let him out of your sight judging by the state that he's in.
It's a whole half an hour by time you've dragged him into your flat, "Becker, how much did you drink?" You ask and he laughs at you.
"Row, row, row your boat!" he begins singing and you roll your eyes. You growl, dumping him on the sofa.
"Make yourself at home." You mutter, you pop to the loo. You step out of the bathroom, glance over and notice that Becker's not on your sofa. "Umm, Becker." you call, and you look around, nothing. You step into your bedroom, and find Becker fast asleep and snoring on your bed. You groan. "Guess I'm taking the sofa then."
