Please forgive any mistakes when it comes to tech talk. My strong points are in fighting and emergency response (EMT stuff and all that). My relationship with technology has not always been a good one.

P.S. Sorry it took so long to update I got some bad news that knocked me on my ass for a while. The only reason this chapter got up even remotely fast is because it was mostly written already. Hopefully it won't affect my writing for long.

Jess' POV

Jess sighed and spun her chair around to face the hallway leading to Connor's office.

"I'll be right there," she said, pushing herself to a standing position. She saw Abby stand and kick the chair back to its original position out of the corner of her eye. Jess turned to her.

"I suppose you're coming with me," she said putting a hand on her hip. Abby nodded and put an arm around the FC's shoulder propelling her forward down the hall.

"Definitely, since you have yet to answer my question." She said with a smile. Jess groaned and allowed Abby to guide her down the hall, doing her best to ignore the intimate questions coming from the blonde woman.

"So? How was it?" Abby asked when they were about five feet from their destination. Jess stayed silent, but her resolve was cracking. Abby's face feel when she realized how close they were and that she wouldn't be able to pester her friend with questions once inside.

"Oh come on. I don't need details, just give me two words." Jess considered for a moment before mentally shrugging.

"Earth shattering." She said before swiping her wrist band over the door lock and walking inside.

Becker's POV

Becker wasn't so angry that he missed the triumphant smirk on Jess' face, or the dumbstruck look on Abby's when they entered Connor's lab. As soon as Jess saw his face she started talking.

"I wasn't going to go after him or anything. I just wanted to see if I could figure out where he was sending the emails from." she trailed off when he held up a hand.

"What did you find?" he said doing his best to have a reasonable tone. Jess and Abby both looked shocked, and Becker wasn't surprised. Connor was the one who'd pointed out it would be better to have both of them working on finding the stalker. He'd been too busy thinking of ways to keep her locked away where she couldn't get into trouble. Jess recovered first and spoke hesitantly, as if expecting him to change his mind.

"Nothing," She said, "I'd just started when you guys caught me." she turned to Becker, who was leaning against the steel table in the middle of the room with his arms crossed on his chest. "Did Connor find anything?"

"He's probably in London," Connor said from his position hunched over the keyboard. Becker rolled his eyes.

"Thank you for stating the obvious Connor," he said. He ignored the computer geek and pulled Jess over to a corner of the lab away from Connor and Abby. He spoke to Jess softly.

"I want you to reconsider staying with Connor and Abby," he said, Jess started to argue but Becker continued before she could, "I want to make sure you're safe."

"You think Connor can protect me if he finds us?" Becker considered it for a moment and shook his head.

"Not really. Abby maybe, but definitely not Connor." He smiled to let her know he was joking and she smiled in return. He was sorely tempted to kiss her despite the fact that Connor and Abby were a few meters away. He tilted his head until his lips were mere centimeters away from hers, only to snap his head back up when Connor started yelling.

"I figured it out," he said throwing his hands up, "I think." Connor dropped his hands back down to the computer and continued typing. Becker was next to him in seconds.

"You found him?" he said, his eyes scanning the computer screen for whatever had gotten Connor so excited.

"Not quite," Connor said. Abby pulled Becker away before he could murder her boyfriend and had him sit on one of the stools that sat by the large metal table in the center of the room. Jess walked over to him a moment later, not looking any happier about being interrupted than he was.

"Then what is all the celebration about," she said crossing her arms. Becker thought she may have been trying to glare but instead she just looked like she was pouting, which he found absolutely intoxicating for some reason.

"He made it too complicated for us to follow his emails, but if we send him an email from Jess then we can insert a Trojan in his account and follow the trail right back to him."

"You want to put a condom in his email," Becker said confused. He glared at his girlfriend when she let out an adorable snort of laughter.

"No a virus," she said. She looked like she was going to continue, but Connor took over the conversation.

"Basically I'm gonna give him a virus that gives us a peak at his location." Connor leaned back in his chair with his hands behind his head looking rather smug. Becker rolled his eyes and used his foot to knock the chair over spilling Connor to the ground, just because he could. Abby punched his arm and went to help her boyfriend up, glaring at him the entire time.

"And you wonder why he's scared of you," she muttered under her breath.

"Not cool, mate." Connor added from his position on the floor.

"Sorry, I couldn't resist," Becker said laughing, he could feel Jess shaking next to him as she tried to hide her laughter. The jovial moment was quickly interrupted when the room was filled with flashing red lights, signaling that there was an anomaly. Jess was off like a shot, surprising the three left standing after her.

"I didn't know she could move that fast in her heels," Connor said, snapping Becker out of his own stupor. He headed out the door backward talking to Connor as he went.

"Do what you have to." He said. Connor nodded and Becker assumed they were on the same page, so he left it to Connor and went to do his job.

Becker held back a groan as Jess set an ice pack on his swollen ankle. The leg in question was already propped up on the coffee table of his living room, luckily Jess had brought a pillow out of the guest room before he'd put his foot up.

"How did this happen again," she asked. Becker let his head fall back against the padded backrest of the couch.

"I jumped off a ledge to avoid a leaping raptor." he said. The fall hadn't been too bad, it had been a bag that one of his soldiers had left lying around that had really done a number on him. It had thrown off his landing, causing his ankle to bend in a way it definitely wasn't supposed to. The raptor had been about to leap after him when he'd looked back up. It had taken some quick maneuvering, but he'd managed to shot the damn thing midflight. When the team had finally made it back to the ARC after securing the anomaly site, and forbidden anyone else from mentioning his injury, Becker played it off in front of Lester not wanting to get stuck with more mandatory medical leave. Jess however hadn't been fooled. She's ambushed him as soon as he left Lester's office and taken him home. Thankfully she'd taken the blame for the hasty departure. Lester was pretty much letting her get away with anything while she had a stalker on her tail, and it was coming in pretty handy. She'd settled him on the couch as soon as they'd walked in the door and told him not to move under pain of death. She looked so cute when she tried to be threatening.

Jess looked at him for a moment before shrugging.

"Well I guess a sprained ankle is better than a raptor claw," she said as she wandered back to the kitchen.

"Truer words were never spoken," he called over his shoulder trying to adjust to a more comfortable position. The movement sent a jolt of pain radiating up his leg and he quickly decided not to do it again. Small hands settled on his shoulders and began carefully kneading the tense knots there. He groaned his delight at Jess' ministrations and she giggled.

"I'll take that as a sign to continue." she said leaning in close to his ear.

"At this point you can do anything you want to me," he said. Jess pulled her hands away slowly, letting them drift along his back for a moment, and Becker instantly missed the warmth of her hands. His dismay was short lived as Jess quickly came round the couch to snuggle in close to his side. He sighed and pulled her in closer, wanting as much contact as possible. He'd been on edge since they'd gotten back, though he'd hidden it well from Jess. He hoped. The last thing he wanted Jess to know was that he was beginning to doubt his ability to protect her.

"Becker?" Jess' voice startled him from his thoughts. She was looking up at him with those eyes that he could easily drown in. Without thinking he dropped his head to hers and gently caught her lips with his. Jess smiled when he pulled away.

"What was that for?" she asked snuggling even closer than before.

"Just because." They lapsed into a comfortable silence for a while before Becker remembered what they'd planned earlier.

"Did you guys send the email." He asked looking down at Jess. She nodded slowly.

"Connor sent one as soon as you left, all we can do now if wait for him to open it." She said in the voice she always used when she was half asleep already. Becker smiled and let his head fall to the back of the couch.

Becker woke with a start when his cell phone vibrated in his pocket. He rubbed a hand over his face to wake him up and reached into his pocket for the phone, waking Jess in the process. She stretched like a contented cat, Becker couldn't help but notice the way her curves were outlined by her clothes with the movement, and nearly purred in his ear.

"What time is it," this time she definitely purred. Becker looked at the clock on the phone in his hand.

"4 o'clock," he said before answering the phone, "Becker."

"He opened the email." Connor's excited whisper came over the phone and Becker instantly put it on speaker so Jess could hear as well.

"Have you found him yet?" Jess asked pulling her knees under her in a self-comforting way. Becker wrapped his arm around her again and pulled her close, giving her as much support as he could.

"I'm looking," Connor's disembodied voice said, "Almost there. Got him!" There was a pause and both Becker and Jess leaned closer to the phone waiting.

"Oh shit," Connor said sounding shocked. Becker got a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach and adrenaline began leaking into his system.

"The fucker works at the ARC."
