Oh my goodness! It's been a while hasn't it? Like, four months at the latest. Sorry for the delay, I had lost hope for this story, then got an idea for another Secker one, so started writing that, then realzied something I could do with this story, so yeah. CONFUSING but you will understand once you've read this chapter. Sorry if it's bad, next chapter will be better, PROMISE! ENJOY!

When Sarah got back to the ARC, she tried to finish all her work as fast as she could. She wasn't even sure she understood it all, but still finished it all in about an hour. When she did finish, she got it all together and brought it over to Lester's office.

"Well," said Lester as he review the paperwork, "you really put finished this quickly. Usually it takes you days, maybe even weeks. What made you get it done this time?"

"I have something going on after work that I need to get to as soon as possible," said Sarah, hoping Lester wouldn't ask what it was. Instead, he shrugged.

"Suit yourself," he said. "Just as long as you can come back sometime tomorrow, I'm okay."

Sarah nodded then headed out of Lester's office. What she didn't know was that a certain someone watched and heard the whole thing. Up in the Security Office, Danny Quinn was plotting how he could figure the truth out.

Sarah arrived at the beach a half hour later. She parked her car and could see Becker out in the water. She slowly walked out into the sand, trying to get a better look. She couldn't tell what he was doing, but it involved a board and constantly going under water. Finally, when he got far enough out, he stood up on the board and started surfing. Sarah was impressed; she didn't know the Captain could do that. But, as soon as she thought that, Becker had a massive wipeout. Worried, Sarah sprinted for the water, trying to see if he was okay.

Water. That's all that Becker could see, feel, touch, and even hear. He quickly tried to swim for the surface and get up for air before he suffocated. Once he caught his breath, he grabbed hold of his board and started swimming for the beach. As he swam, he saw Sarah running towards him, but stopping when she reached the water. He chuckled on the inside and tried to swim faster.

Sarah helped Becker out of the water. He fell to the ground and rolled over onto his back.

"Are you okay?" asked Sarah.

"Yeah," he said, "thanks for the help."

"No problem," she said.

Once Becker was dried off and into his dry cloths, Becker revealed that he had made a picnic for the two of them. So, they sat on a blanket on the sand and talked and ate for hours. It started to get dark, but they didn't notice; they were too engulfed in a conversation about their high school experiences. By the time it was almost pitch dark, they decided to start packing up.

Becker and Sarah finished packing up the stuff into Becker's car. The two closed the trunk together and then looked at each other

"I had a great time Becker," said Sarah. "Thank you."

"My pleasure," said Becker.

He stepped closer to her and wrapped his arms around her. Sarah put her arms around his shoulders. Becker then lent in and kissed Sarah on the lips. Sarah responded; eagerly and quite passionately. Nothing could ruin this perfect moment….except…

BUZZZZZZ

BUZZZZZZ

Sarah heard a phone buzzing off in the distance. She tried to find it, but couldn't. She looked into her pocket, but still couldn't find it. She looked over a Becker to see if it was his mobile, but Becker wasn't there anymore. Sarah was so confused. Then, all of her surroundings disappeared and Sarah was left in a dark area, with nothing in it. She still heard a noise off in the distance, but now it was more of a beeping noise. Then, she realized it; this was all a dream.

Becker watched as Sarah slowly gained consciousness. He sighed in relief as he felt the tears forming in his eyes diminish. If she died from something that was his fault, he wouldn't be able to live with himself. He saw Sarah slowly open her eyes and quickly wiped his eyes; he didn't want her to see him crying! What would Danny say if he ever figured out?

"Sarah," he whispered.

"Mhh," came the murmured reply, as she sat up in bed and rubbed her eyes.

"How are you feeling?"

"A bit groggy," she said, laying back down in the hospital bed. "How long have I been out?"

"A few weeks, actually."

Sarah froze. She had been unconscious for a few weeks? She was about to ask what had happened, but Becker beat her to it.

"After you got…well…shot, they took you to the ER and had to do urgent surgery. They said you'd be out for a while, but they weren't expecting over a week. You had us all worried."

"How's the ARC doing? Anything new happening?"

"I wouldn't know," said Becker, focusing his gaze away from Sarah, "I've sort of been here the entire time."

Sarah was shocked.

"Why?" she asked. "You didn't have to do that."

"I know," said Becker, "I just wanted to be here in case you woke up. You know, make sure you're all right, report to Lester, that sort of stuff."

Sarah nodded. There was a silence that entered the room, as the two kept their gaze away from each other. Just as they both were about to speak, a nurse came in to check on Sarah.

"Oh good dear, you're awake! You were starting to worry everybody! The doctor had completely lost hope in you. Said if you weren't awake by the end of the weekend you were a goner…."

And the nurse went rambling on. Becker took this time to exit the room and make the call to Lester telling him that Sarah was alright.

So , what do ya think? Weren't expecting that were you? LOL! I'M SO EVIL! They were somewhere, but it was all a fantasy! So...what do you think will happen now? PLEASE REVIEW!
