Here is the re-loaded chapter 2.
Last Time:
The two looked at each other for a minute, then Becker left Sarah's house, closing the door behind him.
It was Monday and Becker was scared about going to the ARC. Sarah was returning today and she was literally freaking out. He wasn't sure how she was going to respond to what happened a few days ago. Becker got to work early as usual and usual and checked in.
"Ah, Captain Becker," said a voice.
Becker turned and saw Lester walking towards him.
"Finally decided to return," Lester continued.
"Yes sir," said Captain Becker, "Dr. Page is fully recovered and is returning to the ARC today."
"Splendid," said Lester, "I can't wait to show her all the paperwork she has to sign, and not to mention all the work she still has to catch up on."
"I will not disturb her then," said Becker.
"Yes, I suppose."
Becker then went into the room where the military men worked and went into his office. He had a few reports from some of the men still out on the field, but other than that, it looked just like he left it. He sat at his desk and decided to do his work before he did inventory in the weaponry.
Becker quickly went through the reports, and hurried to the weaponry. He didn't want to run into Sarah after what happened. Besides, Lester said she had a lot of work to make up, so she was probably locked up in her office. But then again, knowing Sarah, she didn't like to follow rules. So Becker took the long way to the weaponry so he could avoid going past her office, just in case she was in there.
Becker was able to get to the weaponry without running into Sarah. He figured she either wasn't in yet, or locked up in her office. He walked into the weaponry and started to take inventory.
He was about halfway done when he heard the door open to the weaponry. He looked up from his checklist and saw Sarah enter the weaponry. He instantly hid behind a shelf and waited. Hopefully she'd think he wasn't there.
"Becker," she called.
He didn't answer.
"Becker I know you're in here. Lester said you were and I saw you on the security cameras."
Becker came out from behind the shelf, making it look like he was concentrating and just noticed she entered.
"Oh, Sarah, I didn't hear you enter."
"Cut the act Becker, I know you hate inventory. You never get into your work."
Becker sighed and put down the checklist. The two looked at each other for a moment.
"I suppose you came here for a reason," he said.
"Oh right," said Sarah. "I wanted to talk to you about that day…"
"Listen, Sarah, I was stupid. I shouldn't have snogged you and I'm sorry. It was a mistake."
Sarah seemed shocked by this and slightly disappointed.
"Oh," she said.
Becker seemed confused.
"Weren't you going to say that?"
"Umm, not exactly," said Sarah, "but if that's how you feel, I'm okay with it."
Becker noticed her eyes started tearing up a bit as she started to head for the door.
"Wait Sarah," said Becker as he reached for her hand to stop her. "Tell me what you were going to say."
"It's nothing Becker, if you don't feel…"
"Sarah, tell me."
Sarah sighed and turned to face Becker.
"I wanted to know why you did it," she said.
Becker wasn't expecting this answer.
"Well, umm, I did it because I wanted to show you that what I said in my sleep was true."
"So you were trying to prove to me that you weren't lying or talking about someone else in your sleep."
"YYYeahh," said Becker.
Sarah laughed.
"So you do fancy me," she said.
Becker chuckled then stepped closer to Sarah.
"I think you know the answer to that," he said, his voice deepening.
The two leant closer and closer to each other until Becker's lips met Sarah's in a soft kiss. Sarah wasn't surprised by this so started the kiss him back. Becker smiled in the kiss as he pulled Sarah closer to him and stroked her back. Sarah's hands found their way to Becker's head and she started run her fingers through his hair. The two stayed like this for a little while, until Becker slowly pulled away.
"Don't run away this time," said Sarah quietly.
Becker smiled.
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere."
Then Becker heard his mobile ringing.
"One moment," he said then took out his mobile and answered it.
"Hello this is Captain Becker."
Sarah was shocked at how professional he sounded after they just had a moment. It was as if it never happened. She was glad he was able to do that.
"Okay, I'll be up in a few minutes," said Becker.
Then he hung up his mobile and turned to Sarah.
"That was Lester," he said. "He wants me in his office in a few minutes."
"Okay," said Sarah, "so, what are we going to do about….us?"
"Well, we can do whatever. If you never want to see me again, that's fine. If you….want to go out after work tonight for a few drinks, then that's fine too."
Sarah laughed.
"Well, I defiantly don't want to ignore you. That would be a bit hard, but that drink does sound nice."
"So tonight then?" asked Becker.
"Sure," said Sarah. "But let's not tell the others yet. I'd rather not have Abby asking me every day, "so, what were you two up to last night.""
Becker laughed.
"Okay, so I'll try not to show that I have any feelings for you what-so-ever."
"Well, don't make it obvious that you hate me, which you don't. We were actually are pretty good friends before…this. So I say at work, just pretend that we don't have something going on."
"That sounds good to me," he said.
Then the speakers on the intercom went on and Danny's voice sounded throughout the entire building.
"Captain Becker: If you are anywhere in the building, Sir James Lester wants you in his office now."
Danny sounded as if he was a programmed robot when he said this.
"I guess Lester has a gun to his head if he's saying it like that," said Sarah.
Becker laughed.
"Oh yeah, and Danny Quinn want you in his office afterwards. Ex-Police Man Quinn signing off."
"No that's the Danny we know and love," said Becker.
The two laughed.
"…..what Lester? Yes I had to add that in. Well I don't care if you fire me you bloody little.…..wait….is this thing still on?"
Becker and Sarah burst out laughing.
"Who would have though Danny had it in him?" said Sarah.
"Come on," said Becker. "You head the man. I better get up there before Lester fires Danny."
The two started walking out of the weaponry.
"By the way," said Becker. "Who said you could go up to the control room and mess with the security cameras?"
"Me, myself, and I," said Sarah plainly.
Becker looked at her.
"What?" she asked. "I had to make sure Lester wasn't joking."
