Abby and Connor had finally found a workman to replace the broken glass.
Lester had grumbled about all the time they had to take off for appointments with the solicitor and the prosecutor. Getting a restraining order against the woman was mainly for their peace of mind the solicitor reassured them.
The courts weren't going to release that woman any time soon… the assault on Becker and property damage to their home were serious enough charges, but the confrontation at the grocers… Abby could only be grateful to the young constable for getting the CCTV film from the grocers. The fact that she had followed them, stalking really, from the grocers to their home seemed to be some sort of deranged behaviour.
Abby sighed contentedly as Connor rubbed the back of her neck and shoulders. "Guess we won't be seeing anymore of that women," she commented.
"Hope not," Connor responded.
"Connor," Abby began curiously "whatever did you do to make her so angry?" A thought crossed her mind, she turned her face toward Connor, eyes narrowed suspiciously. "You didn't dump her by text did you?"
"No," he said indignantly as he stood up and began getting dressed. "She dumped me. I told you before…"
"Well," Abby replied "I hope we've seen the last of your ex-girlfriends."
Connor froze. Standing with one leg in his pants, the other leg raised to begin the descent into the other side of his jeans, he looked at her, eyes wide open in an expression of horror. He fervently hoped so.
He had a lot of ex-girlfriends.

They arrived at work a short time later that morning. Abby gave him a quick peck on the cheek as she turned to go towards the menagerie. Connor moved down the hall towards his lab, nodded a greeting at his sister as her passed her seat at the hub. His sister was the only back up field coordinator Jess really trusted to cover the anomaly detector for Alpha team while she was away.

A half an hour later, Connor's cell phone rang. He smiled in recognition of the song by Queen… We Are The Champions… Becker he thought.
"Connor," he said, sounding panicked "you've got to help me out… I don't know exactly what I said…"
"Relax," soothed Connor "just remember the phrase I taught you. Gotta go now."
An anomaly alert had sounded, Connor knew Hendricks wasn't here yet, they were short handed, again.
Grabbing a com device, Connor joined the team. "I'll go."
"But Connor," objected his sister "you're not supposed to be out in the field."
"I'm just gonna lock the anomaly, not looking to go fight dinosaurs," he replied as he followed the rest of the team out the door.
Really, what could happen?
