We know what the team does during their breaks on Friday but they must get pretty bored every other day of the week… unless they come up with things to do of course!


"I have one. What would you do for the people you care about? And Becker I don't mean us in your job- we all know how far you're willing to go- I mean out of it, when you're not paid to protect someone." Connor asked the group together.

"I'd do anything." Sam's reply was instant.

"I'm not so sure." Jess started to analyse. "It would depend entirely on what would happen to them and what I'd have to do to keep it from happening."

"Yeah, I'm there with Jess. There are some things that I'm sure I wouldn't do just because someone I care about either wanted me to do it, or because it was the only way to protect them."

Connor cocked his head to the side as he watched Abby, just before anyone got a chance to ask his thoughts he shook his head and looked at Matt.

"I'd do most things."

"What wouldn't you do?" Connor pressed him.

"Depends. Are we talking about someone will be tortured and killed if we don't do it. Or someone we care about would like us to do it?"

"Okay well… what would you do for… Sam? Out of context of work. So, just as she's your friend. Would you… Be her date at a friends wedding? Punch the lights out of a guy who's upset her? Would you die for her?"

Sam interjected before Matt had a chance to formulate an answer. "Just be careful what you say cause if you're not going to die for me I'm not rescuing you from a burning building!"

She finished with a grin but the group just looked at her in mute shock.

"I'm kidding!" She raised her hands in defence. "I just said I'd do anything for you guys!"

"Would you really do anything for us though?" Connor looked sceptical.

"I truly would. So long as I'm not, in my opinion, unnecessarily breaking the law. Yeah I'd do anything big or little, to protect you or make you happy. I would do anything." She paused as she smirked in the resident Grammar Nazi's direction. "I will do anything for you guys."

"But, surely there are some things that just go too far? Like personal harm?" The way Jess spoke added meaning to the 'personal' part, pulling her half frowning- with a hint of serious- face.

"I've done pretty much everything short of dying when it comes to looking after you guys on the job. I'd happily do the same out of it. I thought you were asking Matt now…" She unsubtly passed the attention back to Matt.

"I'd do a lot. I mean I'd do more in this job because it's bigger than us. If I fail in this then hundreds, possible thousands of people can be killed. outside of work it's different. I know I'd do a lot. I'm not sure how much though. Becker?"

"I don't think any of us will really know what we'd do until we're in a situation where we have to make the decision. I don't know if I'd die for you guys most days at work- Especially when Connor's being a pain or talking in Science-Gibberish. But when we're out there and something's chasing you I make the decision there and then to protect you no matter the cost to me. One day I may not- that day I'll quit."

"Yes. But, I'd suppose it varies on who in the group you're doing it for too." Jess agreed with Becker. "Like I can imagine Connor and Abby would do more for each other than they would for us. Right?"

"I'd do anything for Connor." Abby smiled at him.

"Really?" For some reason, no matter how long the two had been a couple, Connor always seemed surprised about how much that Abby cared for him. She nodded in response to the question.

"Okay." Connor looked down at the mug in his hands before looking back up. "Would you marry me?"

Abby looked from Connor to Jess, Sam, Matt and finally Becker. Smiling slightly she nodded.

"I would marry you."

Everyone noted the use of the word 'would'.

"Damn it Becker!" Both Sam and Jess hissed simultaneously.

Connor just smiled.

"Will you marry me though?"

"Yes."

"Okay. Stay there." Connor jumped out of his seat and started to exit. "I mean it. Don't move."

The team stared perplexed as he left, wondering why the sudden rush to leave.

"Umm…" They turned to Abby who's face was twisted with confusion. "Can someone clarify for me… Did I just get engaged?"


I was asked to do this by a couple of people. I don't know why I didn't put it up before. It's been sitting at the bottom of my word document for long enough!

Please let me know what you think. Questions still welcome and I'd really appreciate being told anything that annoys you about members of the team. :)

Thanks!
