Hey there. Here is the next chap. Thanks to all of you.
George
They had started to make they way back to Massive Dynamic. Walking next to each other, they walked though the crowded streets of New York City. The clouds still were gray up in the sky and it looked like it would start to rain soon, so they picked up speed.
Olivia hadn't got the answers she wanted, or at least she hadn't by now. Maybe she would get some tomorrow night, but for now she also wasn't thrilled to get back to the paperwork either. But there wasn't anything else she could do, because she couldn't follow Peter around the entire day, she also couldn't go to Dr. Bell or Dr. Bishop without a serious question and she couldn't go and talk a little to Jack, like she sometimes did, but that would be out of character for her when she was having a new case, so she would have another day of paperwork.
Peter and Olivia were a few blocks away from Massive Dynamic, when it suddenly started to rain. It first started with a few droops, but just seconds later, it was a wall of water. The only thing that they could do was run. Peter shortly looked at her and that they ran. But in the end, they were as just wet as they could have been. Their clothes were soaked full with water and Olivia could feel the water on her skin. She started to freeze, because it wasn't that warm outside and it also wasn't inside Massive Dynamic. Peter noticed her pale lips and her shivering.
"Come with me. I'll get you towel."
Olivia headed into his direction and followed him. Again there were plain white hallway,lots of doors and a labyrinth of more and more other hallways. Finally they reached a door. A small sign next to the door told Olivia, that this was Peter's office. He held open the door for her and she entered the small room. There was only a desk, lockers filled with folders and three chairs in this room. It looked plain and impersonal, but what had she been expecting.
"Wait here, I'll get you a towel."
She smiled and nodded. She looked at him and noticed, that because of the rain, his white shirt was now sheer. He smile grew a little wider and than she realized that her white blouse, that she wore under her black jacket also had turned sheer. Great. Her note to her self was, not to wear with clothes ever again when it could start to rain or at least when she did, that she should take an umbrella with her to avoid another situation like this. She was pulled away from her thoughts, when it knocked on the door.
"Yes? Come in."
The door opened a crack and somebody stuck his head through the crack. The guy was maybe a little younger that Peter, Olivia guessed. After he had scanned the room, he opened the door completely and came in. He sat down next to Olivia, in the other chair in front of Peter's desk.
"Hey, I'm George, George Bell an let me guess, you're Olivia Dunham."
He smiled and hold out his hand. So that was Dr. Bell's son. Also guy that was worth a look. He was tall, she had seen that when he came in and he had light brown eyes and dark brown curly hair. He definitely was younger than her and Peter, but she couldn't tell by how many years. And the designer stubble just looked great on him. All things considered both the sons of the owners of Massive Dynamic were adorable but each one in his own way.
"Good guess."
She smiled back at him and took his hand.
"So, you're waiting for Peter?"
"Yeah, got something I need his opinion on. He always knows what's the right way. Am I allowed to ask what you're doing down here?"
"You are. I'm here to get some answers from Peter about Cortexiphan and all what has to do with it."
Suddenly Olivia's power of deduction made her think about something. When George was Bell's son and they had experimented on Peter, there might be the chance that they also did the same to him.
"Is it okay for you, when I ask you some questions. You can stop me if I getting to personal, but I would appreciated it, if you would only tell me the truth."
"Sure, what is it that you want to know."
"I think you know, that your father and Dr. Bell experimented on Peter. Now I was thinking if they did the same to you."
"No, I wasn't born back than. I'm four years younger than Peter, so they had no chance to do that to me. When they had found out, that Cortexiphan had shown effect on Peter, they observed Peter, but after that they never started to experiment on children again. I don't know why, but maybe that has something to do with Peter's abilities. Nobody really knows what they are and William and Walter are the only people that know what Peter can do and they are the only ones that understand what he can do, because Peter told me once, that he himself doesn't really understand all of that completely and he is a hell of a smart ass. But what should we be expecting from a guy with an IQ of 190."
In that moment the door opened again and Peter reentered the room. A towel I his hands. He handed it over to Olivia and went around the desk to sit down.
"So, Olivia, I see you have met the charming George. By the way, I heard you calling me a smart ass. Thanks for that one. So, what do you want George?"
George stood up and went over to Peter. He laid down the folder, fished some files out of it and spread them across the desk. Meanwhile Olivia was drying herself a little, trying not to listen to the conversation of the two guy across from her.
When they had finished their conversation, George went for the door and opened it. But because he went outside, he turned around.
"See you around then, Olivia."
"Yeah, you'll."
He smiled at her and she just smiled back. After a short look past her and to Peter, he turned around and left the room, closing the door gently behind him.
"So is there anything else I can do for you?"
Olivia know faced Peter again. He's mood had lightened again after George had left the room. There was something that told her, that something wasn't quite right between them, even though it seemed like their where friends on the outside, they weren't inside. But Olivia pushed that thought away. Why should she care about that? Right, she just shouldn't. This was work, so she stared to smile again.
"No, actually not. I have some knew information and a have a lot of stuff at home, so I'll better get going."
Peter nodded.
"Okay, see you tomorrow than. Nine at your house. Wait where do you live, I think you should tell me that or I can't pick you up."
He smiled.
"Sure."
She told him her address and after that she left. Her definitely looked like mess and her clothes still were dripping. She started to freeze again, so she hurried over to her car and turned on the air conditioner, to warm up a little. Olivia's thoughts drifted of again and in the end she stuck with one question. He definitely had to do something with all this, but what was it? What was George's part in this entire story?
Please review, if you liked the chap. But I welcome both, good and bad reviews because I just can learn to do it better, when you tell me what you thought wasn't good.
Hopefully you like this one better than the last one (kind of think that all my 5th chapters are cursed)
