Chapter Six

Nick Cutter's eyes blinked rapidly adjusting to the light that was streaming through the gap in-between his bedroom curtains. He rubbed his eyes and slowly sat up in his bed and checked his beside clock, it read nine in the morning. Lester had allowed Nick to come in to work later as to recover from being in hospital, Nick protested at first but now he was thankful for it.

Memories of the night before came rushing back to him in flurry of images, his confession to Jenny went perfectly well he still remembered the taste and feel of her lips on his. Nick stood from his bed and headed for the shower to have a wash before grabbing a bite to eat and heading to the home office to hopefully begin rebuilding the anomaly map. The warm water always washed away any troubles he had which at the moment he had none, he had a job that was interesting, dangerous but interesting, he had a wonderful team around him and last but not least he had something with Jenny.

Nick pulled on a pair of cream coloured trousers and a pin strip short sleeve shirt before walking into his kitchen to see if there was anything he fancied. After raiding his cupboards he settled for a honey roasted ham sandwich and a coffee. After washing both the plate and the mug he placed them back in the cupboard before grabbing his car keys and opening his front door and locking it behind him. After entering his car he quickly turned the engine on and hearing it come alive he pulled out of his drive and headed to the home office.

…..

Sarah sat in her office researching various myths Nick had asked her to go over for him. Abby was admiring Nicks notes on the anomaly's, said she would keep Sarah company as Conner was adding modifications to the new ADD. Sarah wasn't focusing on her work fully and the reasons for this was Captain Becker, she admired his muscular form and handsome looks and his amazing hair. She was so lost in staring at him it took a couple of seconds before she realised he was looking back at her.

"Oh Sarah you idiot" she said aloud causing Abby to turn around and look at her questionably.

"What's wrong Sarah" Abby asked?

"Becker caught me staring at him" Sarah said putting her head in her hands trying to hide the blush that was creeping up her face. Abby burst out laughing which caused Sarah to give her a death glare.

"I knew you liked him, hey look he's coming over" Abby pointed giggling like a hyena. Sarah's faced was full of horror as Becker was indeed heading in their direction. Becker was nearly at her office when Conner rushed round the corner crashing into him sending them both crashing to the floor. Abby was in fits of hysteria as Conner got up quickly trying to help Becker up and at same time saying sorry over and over before rushing from the scene as quickly as he could.

…..

Nick was walking to his office whilst looking at the latest anomaly report which had appeared in Salisbury collage luckily on a weekend and in the evening so the ARC's soldiers stood guard until it closed. According to the report nothing had come through which suited Nick perfectly he wasn't in a field working mood today plus he needed to begin rebuilding the anomaly map. He heard someone jogging up behind him he made a quick guess at who it was and judging by the inconstancy of the foot falls it had to be Conner.

"How can I help you Conner" Nick said still walking in the direction of his office. He waited for a reply as he walked.

"How did you - anyway I was wondering do you need help building the anomaly map again" Conner asked nervously. Nick stopped for a moment before turning around to face him.

"Why do I get the feeling your hiding from someone" Nick asked? Conner went to open his mouth but couldn't right a lie to throw at the professor.

"Ok I ran into Becker, he didn't seem to happy you don't reckon he would do anything do you" Conner asked hoping his professor would give a helpful answer.

"Ummm Becker doesn't seem the vengeful type but seeing as its you id be careful Conner, and yes you can help me with the anomaly map" Nick finished before turning around again and turning into his office leaving Conner to stand quietly for a moment before he rushed into Nick's office after him.

Conner gave Nick the positions the poles needed to be placed from the file Nick had saved onto his laptop. About a quarter of a way through the plan Conner placed them laptop down telling Nick he had to speak to Abby about something quickly much to Nick's annoyance. He began to read over the notes Sarah had written up for him on any mythical creatures that could've been linked to anomalies to prove their ancestors were raving loons.

"You know I never thought u had any fashion sense Professor Cutter I'm impressed" a voiced came from behind him. Nick turned around to see none other than Jenny Lewis standing in his office door with a warm smile on her face. Nick admired her for a few moments she was wearing a pale pink silk shirt with long black suit trousers with a pair of black high heels to finish off the look.

"Jennifer Lewis how can I help you" Nick replied he felt as if he hadn't see her for weeks when it was only just last night he had spoken to her. Jenny walked over to him slowly before stopping just inches away from him, if anyone walked in now it wouldn't take rocket science to see the pair were more than just friends.

"I just thought id come and see how you were doing" Jenny replied closing what little space was between them. Nick smiled before placing a brief kiss onto her lips just as Conner walked back into the room and stood on the stop feeling awkward at what he had seen. Nick looked at Jenny who was blushing slightly.

"Ah Conner I see your back at last now we can carry on" Nick said calmly before placing another small kiss showing how much he felt for her onto her lips once more before heading towards the anomaly map.
