The thirty or so ARC soldiers stand tall before you, "Thank god you're here!" You breathe, Becker coughs, "Right, by the double doors, now" He orders, all thirty soldiers take aim at the double doors, some standing, and some kneeling. "Okay, Matt, Emily, on the count of 3, open the doors." Becker says, Matt and Emily nod, and stand by the doors, ready and waiting.
You sigh, "Okay…..One…." Emily flings open the door, squeals, and jumps around from foot to foot. Matt quickly slams it shut for her, whilst shooting her a stern hard glare. Becker stands watching, his mouth forming the perfect 'O' shape, you raise an eyebrow at him.
"What number would you like?" Becker enquires, sarcasm in his tone. You manage a smirk.
"Three….Three's good…" Emily stutters, her face bright red with embarrassment.
"Okay, one…..Two…Three!" Becker yells. The doors are opened, "Full phase!" Becker shouts, the bullets are fired into the corridor; you join in the fun and games, shooting your machine gun, which you've just been handed by Becker who is currently standing right beside you. "MATT!" You yell as you notice one of the creatures pounce on him, throwing him backwards. You raise your gun, aim, and fire. The creature is dead almost instantly, but Matt lies on the floor, writhing in pain. You drop to your knees beside him, Emily already on the other side.
"Matt?" She asks, there's no response, you apply pressure to his now bleeding wound that covers the majority of his chest. "Come on, stay with us!" You pray, Emily feels around on Matt's neck for a pulse, she looks up, and shakes her head. "No…No…He can't be..." You stutter, your mouth in an 'O' shape.
You frantically start attempting to save Matt; you push up and down on his chest, but with no luck. But you don't stop, you don't give up.
10 minutes pass, and you still haven't given up on Matt, "It's too late, he's gone!" Becker shouts, he's now knelt beside you, inches away from your side. Emily suddenly shrieks, her eyes nearly popping out they're so wide "I've got a pulse!" She yells, just as an ambulance screeches to a halt outside.
"All dead!" A soldier shouts as he checks over the hideous creatures. Becker grins, and stands up to deal with his soldiers. You smile, another stressful anomaly alert done and complete with few injured and as far as you know only one soldier dead.
1 hour later –
"How's he doing?" You ask down your phone, Emily on the other end. You're back at the ARC, the creatures having been dealt with and Emily not wanting Matt to be crowded at the hospital.
You hear a sigh across the phone, "Not good….The creature…It's poisoned him, the doctors have never seen anything like it!" Emily stutters, her upset over Matt showing in the phone call. A tear works its way down your tired cheek, "Emily….How bad?" You ask, there's a pause, "The doctor says he's got a 30% chance of survival" Emily informs.
You stand in silence for a moment, slowly taking in the bad news. "Oh god….." You mutter, "(Your name here) I've got to go now, pop along to the hospital later though" Emily says, "Yeh, course I will" You reply, "Bye Emily, take care"
It's a matter of minutes before you stand before a shaken and broken team, minus their leader. Abby rests in Connor's arms, Jess is slumped on a sofa with her arm around a shaking Emily, who has managed to prise herself away from the hospital. And Lester's gripping a glass of whisky whilst sitting behind his desk.
"I'm sorry" You say, you feel Becker's hand on your shoulder, so that's where he is, you think.
"I'm….I'm going back to the hospital" Emily states, she stands up, wipes a few tears away, and strides out of Lester's office, Jess soon in tow.
"I suggest that all of you, go home, and get some rest. It's been a long day" Lester orders, the remaining team members stare at Lester for a moment, not quite believing that he actually cares about his staff.
1 hour later….
You slouch on your cream sofa, an animal documentary showing on TV. You grasp a steaming cup of coffee in one hand, and the TV remote in the other.
Suddenly, there's a loud knock at your front door, you sigh, and bring yourself to your feet. You swing open your door, to reveal Becker on the other side, holding a six pack of beers, he holds them up suggestively. You raise an eyebrow, a smirk making itself clear.
"Drink?" Becker suggests, you grin, and nod. Allowing him access to the flat, you fumble around with the TV remote, preparing to turn it off.
"I've brought a film with me…" Becker states, you turn around, Becker stands, in his red checked shirt and baggy jeans, holding up the film '2012'. You smile, taking the DVD, and placing it in the DVD player.
You then continue onto making yourself comfy on your sofa beside Becker, who hands you a cold beer. "Thanks" You say as you accept the beer.
It's not long before you've drifted off to sleep, your head resting on Becker's shoulder, you don't realise it, but he's asleep too, his arm around your shoulders, his Perfectly jelled hair now messy and tangled.
You blink awake, and the first thing you see is Becker, his entire body weight leaning on your shoulder, you gaze at his sleeping form, his kind hazel eyes now shut, a lock of hair hanging over his face, making him look adorable.
You smile, and stand up. You soon realise where your beer went, all over your lap, making it look like you've wet yourself. "Shit" You mutter, you must've dropped your beer as you fell asleep.
You waddle to your bedroom, shrugging out of your jeans, you replace them with another pair, and walk out of your bedroom.
Becker's woken up, he sits upright on your sofa, the TV remote in his hands, he switches the TV off, "It's late, I'd better go" He says, "How much have you had to drink?" You ask, Becker stares at you blankly, "3 beers?" He replies, you sigh, "Well you can't be driving now! You'll have to stay here tonight" You inform, Becker sighs, and then nods. Another night with Becker, you grin at the thought.
"Night Becker" You say as you disappear into your bedroom, leaving Becker tucked up on your sofa. You shuffle towards your bed, but you don't get far, as a pair of warm strong arms wraps themselves around you, turning you around, you face Becker, who gazes down at you.
"Becker?" You enquire, but he isn't listening, he pushes you up against your bedroom wall, putting you between a rock and a hard place. And before you can even process a thought, Becker's lips are on yours, it's gentle at first, but he soon deepens the kiss as he practically throws you onto your bed, you fall onto it, Becker in tow.
