Chapter Four

Conner stood in the reception of the hospital waiting for Nick to meet him there to be taken home and from there to the home office. It had been three weeks since Nick had been rushed to hospital with a gunshot wound to the chest which pieced his lungs and narrowly missing his heart. The doctor's allowed Nick to be discharged and was to take things easy, knowing the job and Nick that wasn't going to happen. Conner and the rest of team did nothing but worry the first week the professor was in hospital but after he had been put into a normal ward their worries were put to ease.

Conner then spotted Nick walking towards him with a large and somewhat cheesy grin which Conner returned full heartedly. When Nick came to a halt in front of Conner he placed his hand out in front of him for a shake, Conner took his hand and shook it slightly confused. Nick laughed slightly before patting him on the shoulder and picking up his bags.

"Shall we get going the sight of this hospital is driving me insane" Nick said before gesturing for Conner to lead him to the car. Conner had parked the car as close to the entrance as possible which on a Saturday morning in a London hospital car park was a good five minute walk. Nick was silent on the walk to the car but taking in his surroundings and breathing in the fresh air. Conner wondered how everyone would react to Nick's return, he pictured the sight of everyone's faces and laughed when they reached the car.

"What's so funny Conner" Nick asked with an eye brow raised questioningly. Conner managed to open his car door but with great difficulty from the laughing he was emitting.

"Don't worry professor its nothing" Conner giggled before turning on his engine and pulling out of the car park. Nick rushed into his home once they pulled up onto the street and dropped his bag inside before locking the door once more and getting back into the car. As Conner pulled into the home office car park he glanced at Nick who was looking up through the window at the glass building.

"Shall we do this then professor" Conner said a little to eager, Nick nodded before getting out of the car slowly and shutting the door behind him.

Conner walked through the home office coming to a halt at a lift. Both he and Nick entered and waited as the lift took them to the fourth floor of the building, Nick was tense as if he wasn't sure what he was coming back to. As they exited the lift Nick noticed two ARC soldiers standing guard down the end of the corridor guarding what looked like two heavy steel doors.

Conner flashed an id card at them before they nodded and looked at Nick for id. Conner explained who Nick was and that he was in hospital at the time of the move so was given an new id card. The men spoke into head sets for confirmation and allowed them both access, the doors slid open quickly allowing them to enter. Nick looked around to see the area they had entered very similar to the ARC, all the rooms where white and clean and new ADD had been placed in the centre of the hall were corridors spilt off into various sections into the anomaly research centre.

"Professor Nick Cutter nice of you to join us once more I trust your well" Nick herd the familiar voice and smiled.

"I'm fine thank you Lester now I'm out of the hospital and had chance to move around a bit" Nick replied to Lester in a calm tone. The pair stared at each other before Lester stretched out his hand Much like Nick had done with Conner earlier that day, Nick took it warily and shook firmly.

"Glad to have you back Cutter now there's I line id never thought id hear myself say, oh well first time for everything" Lester said before turning away and heading back to his office. Nick walked over to the ADD and looked at the anomaly history, only two anomalies over the three weeks he was away.

"Its been fairly quiet while you've been away, to be honest its been a blessing some of the team weren't focused with you in hospital" Conner said standing next to him. Conner looked around to see if he could locate the rest of the team but they weren't in sight.

Jenny, Sarah and Abby were walking to report that the latest anomaly threat was shut down after it closed without anything coming through or going in. Sarah and Abby were arguing that Sarah liked Becker much to the denial of Sarah, as they opened the doors to the main area of the anomaly research building Jenny stopped dead in her tracks causing both Sarah and Abby to walk into her.

"What's wrong Jenny" Abby asked before looking over to where Jenny was looking at saw why. Nick Cutter was chatting with Conner by the new ADD and hadn't seen them yet. Jenny straightened herself out before walking over to them, her shoes making soft padding noises on the floor.

"Nick I see your back you weren't meant to be discharged till next week" Jenny said to Nick, the pair didn't noticed everyone else walk away to Lester's office until Nick said.

"I think we made them uncomfortable" Nick replied, Jenny raised her eye brows before looking around and seeing what he meant everyone had go on to Lester already. Jenny looked back to Nick their eyes meeting, they stared for a moment until Jenny cracked and brought him into a tight embrace placing a head on his shoulders.

"I'm so glad your ok" she said her voiced muffled slightly, Nick returned the embrace before replying.

"Are we still on for that drink"
