I basically just skipped over Matt's little Action Hero moment because I had no clue how to write it... And Connor is trying to get answers from Becker while Jess is out of the room :D I kept getting sidetracked while writing this so excuse the mistakes :D Don't own anything except the plot, the occasional setting and my OC character's :D :D :D

Enjoy :D :D :D

"Pack this stuff up will you? I have to go check on the little girl." the main guard lifted Sarah's head up and frowned. "Leave her in here until tomorrow. We don't need lover boy causing any problems over this one."

"Of course, Sir."

Matt leaned in closer to the opening and caught a small glimpse of another black uniform in the room. He would be outnumbered if he dropped into the room now. He needed to wait for the main guard to leave before he could do anything.

Matt's eye's narrowed as he silently watched the main guard lightly skim his thumb over a thin scar on Sarah's cheek. Her eyelids fluttered in response but the guard didn't seem to notice.

The main guard sighed and moved over to the door, turning back to the second guard in the room. "When you're finished here, go check on Anderson."

"Will do, Sir."

When Matt heard the door click shut, he immediately began to unscrew the opening of the vent and peered in. The guard was young, new to the job most likely. Matt grinned to himself as he dropped down into the room.

o.O~O.o

Jess paused outside the door to the boys room. She quietly pressed her ear against the door and listened in to what the guys were talking about. She smiled.

"Admit it mate, you definitely like Jess more than you like the rest of us!" Connor's voice came through the door slightly muffled but Jess was sure she could make out every word they were saying.

Becker laughed. "And what makes you think that Temple?"

Connor sighed loudly. "You're wearing white."

"It's beige."

"It's not black."

"Yeah, and it's not gray either. What's your point?" Jess could just see Becker rolling his eyes at him.

There's was movement in the room before Connor replied. Jess didn't need to be in the room to know he was giving Becker a knowing smirk. "You're so wearing it to impress her."

Jess lifted her hand to knock on the door but paused when she heard someone coughing.

"Impress who?" Becker croaked.

Connor sighed exasperatingly. "Jess! You're trying to impress Jess!"

Becker laughed. "Why would I need to impress her?"

"Because you like her!"

Jess grinned to herself as she knocked on the door. There was a quiet 'come in' and she entered to find Becker lounging across the couch with an amused grin on his face and Connor pacing across the carpet in front of him with the phone in his hand.

"Just checking to see if you two are still alive."

Becker's eye's narrowed as he watched her usher Connor over. "Eavesdropper."

"What are you talking about?" her innocent act didn't last long. Her cheeks began to flare red when she caught sight of Becker grinning at her. "You, go check and see if the rings are still where they should be. Connor..." she turned to the man standing in front of her and took the phone from his hand, placing it on the desk beside them before turning back to adjust the chocolate brown faux suede vest.

"Sweet like chocolate..." Connor mumbled to himself quietly as Jess attatched the golden clivia flower to his breast pocket.

"Is that in your vows?"

Connor frowned. "Is what in my vows?"

Jess smiled to herself when she saw his shoulder's begin to shake. "'Sweet like chocolate'? You should put it in."

"Y-yeah, I should." His voice shook uncontrollably along with every inche of his body. If he was quick he could make it out of the room and all the way to the airport before the others even realised where he was heading.

Jess looked up at his face and saw him staring at the door intently. She placed her hands on his shoulder's and sighed loudly. "Connor Temple."

He looked at her, his eyes wide and filled with fear. "Y-yeah?"

Jess narrowed her eyes. "Do you love Abby?"

he nodded. "Of course! Always have always will."

Her eyes softened and she smiled. "Are you sure about that?"

"I..." he paused, his eyes settling on the golden flower attached to his vest. I can't leave Abby. He looked back up at Jess and nodded. "I love Abby."

"Then there's no need to be planning escape routes" Connor's opened his mouth to protest but jess interjected before he could. "Don't say you weren't Connor. You were staring at that door like it was your last lifeline. You're going to be fine. Just remember that Abby is going to be up there too and she loves you just as much as you love her. Possibly more" Jess smiled sweetly and patted his cheek lightly before turning around and scanning the room for the Captain. Her eyes narrowed when she spotted legs sticking out from behind the desk. "Becker...what are you doing?"

"I think I've lost the rings." he replied quietly.

Connor grinned when he saw Jess' hands clench up into fists. "You did not just say what I think you just said..."

"He lost the rings." Connor whispered, silently praying that something would go down between the two.

Jess glared at him. "I know what he said Connor!"

His eye's glowed with happiness. "Well, aren't you going to do something about that?"

"Don't worry, found them." Becker sat back against his heels and looked up at the other two. He watched as Connor's face drained of excitement. He held the little bag with the rings inside and smiled when he looked at Jess' wide-eyed expression.

"What have you done?"

He frowned as he got up to his feet, placing the rings down on the desk next to the phone. "Jess, I found the rings. What's wrong now?"

"You've ruined it!" Becker glanced at Connor as he shrugged. He looked back at Jess who was beginning to look panicked. "Sit! Now!"

"Jess, what's wrong-"

"You've ruined it! Connor try calling matt again while I fix..." Jess gestured to all of Becker and sighed. "Whatever that is."

Connor scanned Becker up and down as the Captain sat down in the chair in front of Jess and suddenly laughed. "Bring out the torture tools..."

Becker's eye's widened. "What?"

"You're hair is a mess!" Connor replied, trying his best to impersonate Jess. She just glared at him. His grin vanished and he picked up the phone. "I'll just... be over there"

Jess smiled. "Good boy, Connor."

o.O~O.o

Matt kneeled down beside the unconscious guard and removed the pistol from his belt. The guy had gone down easier that he thought he would. He hardly put up a fight. All it took was a couple of solid blows to the temple and he went down without a sound.

Matt looked over his shoulder and sighed. "Don't suppose you know how to get out of here?"

Sarah watched him tuck the pistol in his waistband and turn towards the tools still laid out in front of him. "We can't leave. I can't leave. I promised to keep her safe."

Matt glanced over his shoulder again. "The little girl?"

"Charlotte... yeah." Her eyes narrowed slightly, searching his face. "You don't know who we are, do you?"

he frowned. "Should I?"

She shook her head. "Not for the next couple of years."

"You're from the future then." Matt picked up a knife from the set of tools and kneeled down in front of Sarah to cut free the rope holding her down.

"Yeah. Something tells me you already knew that though..." Matt cut through the rope binding her hands and she sighed in relief as she massaged the purple and red rings around her wrists.

"You look like them."

"My parents?" Matt nodded as he snuck a quick look out of the small window in the door. Sarah sighed. "H-how are they? Are they-"

"As far as I'm aware, they're not together yet. They're close though. You think you can climb through the vent?" The less she got involved with the past the better.

Sarah followed his gaze, assessing the small opening. She sighed. "Goodie... I get to crawl through a metal box." she turned back to Matt and grinned. "Can I have the gun?"

Matt frowned. "Why?"

She shrugged "I just want the gun."

Matt rolled his eyes as he stood underneath the opening in the vent. "I'll give you a boost."

"I can have a gun though, right?"

Matt braced himself, holding out his hands for her foot. "Now's not really the time to discuss this Sarah."

She rolled her eyes, ignoring the twinge of the cut at her temple as she placed her hands on matt's shoulder's to steady herself and climbed up into the vent. Matt followed close behind.

It was quiet for a moment as they crawled through the metal vent. The silence didn't last very long though.

"Can I at least shoot something?"

Matt laughed. "Just keep moving."

It's pretty safe to say that yes Sarah is Becker and Jess' daughter and someone in the 'ARC' is helping Matt escape :D

Yey it stopped raining! :D Please excuse me while I go jump in some puddles like a four year old :D :D :D :D
