Thanks for the reviews. Katzen I'm sorry but I love being mean to Scott and it's only fair. Look at what I did to poor John.
Chapter 5: Matchmaking.
Scott and the others arrived at base and completed the debriefing. No one mentioned seeing Becca there. Scott had a shower and tried to sleep but couldn't. He kept seeing Becca walk past him at the danger zone. He knew he had to tell his dad or it would drive him mad. His laptop bleeped to reveal he had a message. It was from Becca. He opened it and smiled.
Your secret is safe with me Top Gun.
He knew he had better tell his dad she knew who they were. He wasn't looking forward to telling him though but it had to be done. He wandered into the lounge and was pleased to find only his dad there.
"Can I have a word Father?" he asked.
"Of course son. What is it?" asked Jeff putting down his paperwork. He could see that something was bothering Scott.
"Becca was at the rescue today and she recognised us," he said and paused waiting for a reaction.
"I see," was all his father said. Scott was confused by the remark. Normally their father would get annoyed and worried their secret could be revealed.
"She emailed me earlier to say she wouldn't say a word so I think we are safe," added Scott.
"Oh I know that son."
"You do?" questioned Scott feeling even more confused.
"Yes. Becca's father is one of our agents and he always said if we ever needed help to call on Becca."
"Oh I see. So you are not mad?"
"Of course not son. Why would I be?"
"Well normally you get really annoyed when people work out who we are," said Scott. He had no idea why his father was so calm.
"Yes but Becca isn't just anyone son. I know she meant a lot to you once and I think she still does now. We all know that Becca can be trusted and she is in the same line of work. It was inevitable you would meet one day on duty," explained Jeff. He was happy that Becca knew. Now maybe she and Scott would work things out. His identity had always stopped Scott getting close to anyone but now the girl Jeff knew his son still loved was aware of it. They were free to be together.
"Yeah I guess so," replied Scott. He still wasn't one hundred percent sure what his dad was on about but at least he hadn't got a lecture.
"Why don't you invite her to the island some time Scott. I'm sure the boys would all like to see her again," said Jeff. He knew Scott had been down lately and a lot of it was due to seeing Virgil and John settling down and getting married. He knew that was what Scott wanted too but he had never really gotten over Becca. Jeff knew there had been others but none had ever compared to her. He could see it in his son's eyes even if Scott wasn't ready to accept it yet.
"Um maybe. I had better try and get some sleep. Night dad," he said wanting to get away. He had a feeling there was some match making going on and he was not ready for that. Not after being rejected by her.
"Night son," replied Jeff and he had to smile as Scott practically ran out of the room. His son was still in denial.
The next day Jeff was talking to his family about sending one of them to London. No one wants to go and deal with paperwork.
"I will go dad. If you want," volunteered Lucie.
"Thanks Lucie. Will one of you go with her in case there is the office decides to be awkward?" asked Jeff.
"I would go father but we are in the middle of an upgrade to Thunderbird 2's systems," said Virgil and he wasn't lying either. Plus he didn't fancy being seperated from Maddie.
"I will go with you," said Scott. He could see no one else was going to offer.
"Thank you son," replied Jeff.
"When do you want us to go?" he asked smiling at Lucie. He didn't really mind going. He liked his sister in law.
"This afternoon ok with you both?" asked Jeff and they both nodded. Scott and Lucie walked off to get ready. Virgil joined Gordon and Alan at the computer. They were all laughing at something but Jeff decided not to get involved. At least they were all getting along.
Lucie and Scott arrived at the London offices. They all knew Scott and let them head straight up to the main office. Scott sorted out all the security issues and Lucie began sorting through the paperwork. Scott was impressed by how quickly she was going through it.
You don't have to stay Scott. Why don't you go for a walk or ring Penny," said Lucie interrupting his thoughts.
"If you are sure you don't need me," he replied not wanting to leave her to do it all.
"No it's fine Scott really. I'm used to all of this plus it makes me feel like I have a role in the family," she said.
"You do have a role honey. You are the one who always seems to know when something is wrong and you help me feel closer to John. I love joining you on the balcony at night," he said approaching her. She smiled up at him.
"You always know how to make a girl feel better," she said grinning at him.
"Sure. That's why I'm the single one," he replied with a sad look. Lucie stood up and hugged him.
"You will find someone Scott. She is out there somewhere. I know she is."
"I hope so. I will see you later sis. Call me if you need anything," he said moving to the door.
"I will. See you later," she said and got back to her paperwork.
Scott headed back downstairs and was stunned to see Becca waiting at reception. As he approached her she turned and smiled at him.
"Hi Scott," she said.
"Uh hi Becca. What are you doing here?" he asked.
"You emailed me and asked me to meet you here," she replied wondering why he looked so confused.
"No I didn't," he said. He had only emailed her once.
"But I got an email from your address so if you didn't then who did," she said suddenly understanding what was going on.
"I'm going to kill your brothers," she added.
"Not if I get there first," replied Scott angrily. He couldn't believe his brothers had done this to him.
"I better get going. I'm sorry for disturbing you Scott. See ya," she said and walked off. She knew Scott had known nothing about this and she could see in his face that he didn't want to see her.
"No wait Becca," he yelled after her. She stopped and turned around slowly.
"What is it Scott. Don't you think I have been humiliated enough by your family," she said with a touch of anger.
"What you mean like I was the other night," he replied angrily.
"Hey that wasn't my fault. I didn't do it on purpose to hurt you."
"Yeah and I didn't do this either. It was my brothers."
"I'm sorry Scott about this and that. I should just go," she said and ran out of the doors. Not this time thought Scott and he ran out after her ignoring the staff who had all been watching.
He soon caught up with her in the car park. She was standing beside her car.
"You like running out on me don't you," he said standing beside her.
"No I don't Scott," she said turning to look at him. He could see a sadness in her eyes that made him want to hold her but he didn't.
"I'm sorry my brothers set you up," he said.
"It's ok. I hope you get revenge on them," she said smiling at him.
"Oh I will. Hey do you want to grab a bite to eat and you can help me plot my revenge," he said grinning.
"Sounds like fun. Where do you want to go?" she asked picking her bag up from the floor.
"I know just the place," he said and they headed towards his hire car.
Authors Note: Could this be the start of something between them and what revenge will Scott have on his brothers. Her reason for running out on him will also be revealed if you keep reviewing.
