NPOV

Work was overwhelming. Sure I loved being the head of GD , but that didn't mean that I didn't enjoy a little peace every now and then. It's nice to run the facility that puts out the largest amount of weapons and everyday improvements. Still it all comes with a price. Sometimes the smartest people can do the stupidest things. Like when Fargo gets his hands on something. That man will be the death of me one day. At least I don't have to handle them all. That's what sheriff Carter is for. If Fargo doesn't kill me , he will.

The first time I laid eyes on the new sheriff I swear my heart skipped a beat. Although , I would never admit that to anyone. He is rather attractive , but his other traits seem to override that. I swear he makes up his own vocabulary. Who says things like 'memory wiper' ? Dammit , I'm doing it again! I swore I was gonna keep that infuriating man off my mind. I have bigger issues at the moment then what the sheriff does to me.

Congressman Faraday will be arriving tonight to assess how worthy we are of another year of government funding. I hate this time of year. Some crappy politician comes and has final say on whether or not we get to keep working on our research. They could at least send a scientist who understands what we do here. I think sometimes they come up with things like this to piss me off. Fargo better have that new project running perfectly for the demonstration tomorrow. I wonder what Jack's doing? Dammit!

JCPOV

I'm gonna kill her. I really am. How the hell am I supposed to do my job if I can't use the guns? Rules my ass. I know she's just doing this because they hired me as sheriff and not her. I really don't think it's fair to take it out on me when I had no control over any of it. She's almost as maddening as Stark. I still feel like something happened that I should remember. No , Jack! Not thinking about him.

"Well , you scored higher then last time , Carter." Jo says interrupting my thoughts.

"Yes!!" Now I can finally play with the guns.

"But not high enough." She says with that evil smile of hers. Dammit!

"Come on , Jo." I whine at her.

"Sorry , but rules are rules." She says smugly. Would this classify as justifiable homicide? I mean really. It's ridiculous. Before I can complain anymore the phone rings. I just glare at her. I'm not answering the damn thing. She sighs and answers it. Ha!

"Sheriff Carter's office.....okay I'll send someone out....goodnight." Jo hangs up and looks at me. I know that look. She wants something. You can resist her , Jack. You can do it.

"That was a noise complaint. Seems that Spencer's movie night is a little loud. How about taking care of that?" She asks with a sweet smile on her face. Like I'm falling for that! There's nothing sweet in her. It's all dark evil.

"Nope. You take it." I tell her. She frowns at me.

"Just so you know , my shift was over thirty minutes ago." She says with a smirk. Dammit!

"Fine. Call SARAH and let her know I'll be home late." I tell her and head out. Stupid Spencer.

I pull up to Spencer's trailer. I'll never understand why the kid lives in a trailer when this town can make a smart house. On second thought , who wants to be yelled at by their house all the time? I can feel the vibrations coming from the house all the way in the car. Probably going to blow their eardrums out one day. I walk up to the door and knock. Not that they're gonna hear me anyway. I wait a minute and walk in. Spencer , Taggart , Fargo and Vincent are all gathered around a rather impressive tv. I walk up behind them.

"HEY!!" I yell over the sound. They all jump at the sound of my voice. Spencer hits pause.

"Hi sheriff Carter. What brings you by?" He asks.

"Well , got some complaints about the noise." I tell him.

"Sorry , it's movie night. Would you like to join us?" He asks. Hmm , I am off now. Why not?

"Sure , but you got to tone it down. What are we watching?" I ask.

"It's called They Came To Conquer. Aliens come to Earth and take over." Fargo explains excitedly. I settle in for a relaxing movie. Two hours later I make my way home , hoping that Jo called so I don't have to argue my way in the house.

NPOV

The congressman landed last night and was , of course , eager to review some of our projects. I was ready to get it over with. There is nothing I hate more than some pompous ass telling me what to do. I already have enough to take care of without adding the congressman to the list. Fargo is in charge of the demonstration for his visit. Just to be on the safe side I asked Allison to help him. Fargo has a tendency to mess up big time. Speaking of Fargo , he should be here.

"Yes , Mr. Stark." My assistant answers.

"Find Fargo." I tell him.

"Yes , sir. The congressman has arrived. Do you want me to send him to your office?" He asks.

"No." I tell him. I end the conversation and head out to the lobby.

I spot him waiting , looking around at what he can see of the facility. Speaking with him is Allison. Years of being married to her has given me an insight to her facial expressions. It's clear that there is a problem. I just hope that it has nothing to do with the demonstration. Or anything that requires Carter. I can't take seeing him right now. I walk up to them.

"Ahh , Dr. Stark. How are you?" The congressman asks.

"Just fine , congressman Faraday. Are you ready for a tour of Global Dynamics?" I greet him.

"I really can't wait. Miss Blake was telling me that you have a demonstration scheduled for later." He says.

"We do. It's a nice little project we've been developing for the military." I tell him. I see Allison give me a pointed look. That means that the look she had on her face has to do with the project.

"I look forward to it. Shall we start the tour?" Faraday asks.

"Yes. Dr. Blake will show you around. I have a lot of work to do at the moment so you'll have to excuse me." I inform him.

"That's understandable." He says.

"Can I have a word , Nathan?" Allison interrupts. I nod and walk away a few steps.

"Fargo is missing and the project isn't ready yet. Dr. Johnson is trying to get it ready , but Fargo was the lead on it and she isn't as experienced with it." Allison tells me. This was what I was fearing. If we don't show that we deserve the money then we'll have to close many projects.

"I'll deal with it. Show the congressman a good time till I fix this." I tell her and head off to find Fargo.

First I call the little twit , but I don't get an answer. It really isn't like him to not show up. Especially on an important day like today. Seeing how much I need him I decide to have the sheriff track him down. When he does get in I'm going to kill him. I call Carter.

"Sheriff Carter's office." Jo answers.

"Jo , it's Dr. Stark. I need you to track down Fargo. He didn't show up for work." I tell her.

"That's the third one today." She says.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"Well , Carter's missing and Spencer too." She tells me. My heart skips a beat at the news that Carter's missing. I dismiss it as worry for everyone.

"Get Henry to help you." I tell her and hang up.

This whole thing is fishy. Three people missing means somethings going on. I get the feeling it's not good.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Six hours later and Jo has informed me that not only are Fargo , Spencer and Carter missing , but Taggart and Vincent as well. They all were last seen at Spencer's for movie night. Carter responded to a noise complaint last night. Sarah hasn't seen Carter since he left this morning and no one has seen the others. This is getting out of hand.

The project seems to be complete , but it still isn't working and I can't find the problem. The subliminal message doesn't have any effect on the test monkeys. I need to get this project working. I keep worrying about Carter , but I manage to push it away every time it comes to mind. I have no idea why that man has gotten under my skin , but it's getting harder to ignore the feelings he invokes in me. I think I need therapy. The phone brings me out of my thoughts.

"Stark." I answer.

"We found Spencer." Jo tells me. Thank god. Now we can get to the bottom of this.

"What about the others?" I ask.

"No sign yet. Spencer claims that he was abducted by aliens last night. We found him naked in the middle of a crop circle." Jo explains. That has to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

"Aliens don't exist." I tell her.

"We know that , but he thinks that it happened. Apparently he bounced a signal off one of your satellites to watch a movie last night. After that we have no idea." She says. Oh my god.

"Damn it! That satellite had a signal carrying subliminal messages. It's for a project to make the enemy paranoid. They all got it instead of the test monkeys." I tell her. At least that explains why the project wasn't working.

"I'll try to track down the rest of them." She says.

I make my way down to the lab. When we round them all up we'll have to have a way to reverse it. I get to work and just as I finish it Allison comes in. I look at her face and know I'm not going to like what she has to tell me.

"The congressman was abducted by Taggart. He's being held hostage in his cabin." She tells me.

"Well , there goes the grant money." I say and head out for Taggart's.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The scene at Taggart's isn't pretty. Swat has the place surrounded. Guns are trained on the house looking for someone to take down to save the congressman. Jo instructs them. I walk up to her.

"What's the situation?" I ask.

"All our missing people are holding the congressman inside. They seem to believe that he is an alien in disguise. Spencer told us about the 'spaceship' that landed last night. Henry and I found the movie they were watching. Apparently your signal crossed with the movie made them believe it was real." Jo said.

"What's the plan?" I ask. This couldn't get any worse.

"Shoot anyone we see till we get him out safely." She says grimly.

My heart drops. Carter's in there. If they shoot everyone he'll die. I can't let that happen. I don't understand why , but I want him to be okay. I can't even think about him being killed. My breath hitches at the thought. Jo looks at me funny. I can see that she's trying to understand me reaction. I don't even understand it. Maybe there's another way.

"Let me go in and try to talk them down." I suggest.

"I can't do that. It would put you in danger." She says.

"Would you rather shoot them?" I ask. She looks torn.

"No. Just be careful. If you can't do it , we're coming in." She tells me.

I walk toward the door. Taggart has a video system to monitor who shows up at his door. I need to talk my way in.

"Taggart." I say into the camera.

"What do you want?" He answers.

"Can I come in?" I ask. There's silence for a minute before I get an answer. The door opens and I walk in. I find them in the basement , crowded around the congressman tied to a table. I spot Jack and god does he look hot. He's dressed in regular clothes. Way better than his uniform. I push the thoughts out of my head. I have enough to deal with without adding the strange attraction I have for the sheriff.

"What do you want?" Jack asks.

"I need you to let the congressman go." I tell them. They cock the guns they are holding.

"No. He's one of them." Taggart says.

"Look , you were all watching a movie about aliens and Spencer used the GD satellite that had a signal we developed for military purposes. You got it instead and it's made you paranoid." I explain.

"No. He's an alien , come to take over." Fargo says.

"Which story seems more likely to be true. The congressman is an alien or you have all been given a subliminal message to make you believe that the movie you watched was real?" I ask them. They all exchange looks.

"What about the ship that landed last night?" Jack asks.

"That was the congressman's helicopter. He arrived last night about the same time the movie was over." I tell them. The take time to think it through. Taggart , Fargo and Vincent seem to believe me. Jack isn't sure.

"Fargo , Taggart , Vincent. Go outside and wait for us." I tell them. They leave without a word.

"Will you let the congressman go? You'll still have me here." I try to negotiate with Carter.

"Fine." He says and unties him. The congressman runs up the stairs. Now it's just me and Carter.

"Jack. Will you let us reverse this?" I ask gently.

"Why can't I get you out of my head?" He asks. I'm at a loss.

"I don't understand." I tell him.

"I keep thinking about you and I doing things. I don't understand it. Why are you in my head?" He asks. My heart skips at the revelation that he's thinking about me , but I need to focus on getting him better.

"I don't know , but if you come back to GD with me we can figure it out." I tell him.

He stares at me with a look in his eye that I don't recognize. Suddenly he runs at me. First I think he plans to hurt me so I try to figure out how to get away. Before I can come up with anything his lips are on mine and I sigh at the contact. His lips are soft as they move against mine. I wrap my arms around him insticntually. I hear him moan at the contact. I still don't understand the feelings I have for him , but at the moment I don't care.

He runs his hands down my body and they come to rest at my hips. A jolt of pleasure runs through me. I can feel my cock hardening. I need to stop him even though I don't want to. He needs to get help. Just as I'm about to pull away from him he bucks his hips into mine and I feel his erection grind into mine. I can't contain the moan that bubbles in my throat. It feels so damn good. But I need to stop it. I pull back and he whimpers at the loss.

"We need to get you help." I tell him.

"Okay. I'll go." He says and we make our way back outside. Thankfully my erection is gone by the time we reach the crowd. Carter is loaded in the car with the rest of them to be taken back to GD. Now I just need to deal with the congressman.

"I have been told what happened and even though I was almost killed I will still give my approval. You have your funding." The congressman tells me. We all head back to GD.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's been two days since the hostage situation and I haven't seen Carter since. I'm afraid to. I still don't understand things between us. Allison has told me that he seems to be avoiding coming here as well. I don't blame him. I have no idea if the kiss we shared was really him or some side effect of the project. Everyone was returned to normal and we got our grant money. The kiss that I shared with Carter is constantly on my mind. I try to keep the thoughts it provokes at bay since that leads to a little problem that isn't good to have in public.

I'm not sure if I want to talk to Carter yet. I try to avoid any place in town he may be. I need to work out my feelings for him first. Still I know I can't avoid him forever. One day there's going to be some screw up that puts him right back here. Then I'll have to talk to him even if it's not about what happened. I just wish I knew what he was thinking.

JCPOV

I can't believe that happened. Not only did I try to kill the congressman , but I kissed Nathan. I'm confused as hell. Yes , I find him attractive , but I'm not gay. I mean come on. I had a wife. I got a kid to prove it. I really enjoy sex with women. Nathan is something I can't figure out. That kiss was mind blowing. I know that he enjoyed it. I can still remember feeling his erection against mine.

I can't bring myself to see him yet. I've seen Allison and she knows that something's weird. The look she gave me when she mention Nathan said it all. She knows it has to do with him. Even if she doesn't have all the details. Jo is just as bad. She constantly asks what happened in Taggart's basement. I can't tell anyone. It gets worse at night. I lay there in bed and think about it all. Every morning I wake up to a hard on. Dammit , I'm hard now. Well , I don't see the harm in taking care of it now. Zoe's asleep.

I reach down and grasp my hard cock. Oh god that feels good. I stroke it to a slow pace , enjoying it. I let my mind conjure up a nice visual. Nathan naked and writhing beneath me as I bury my cock in his ass. I increase the pace. He's screaming in pleasure and begging me to cum in his ass. I'm almost there. I thrust harder into him and he's whimpering my name. I'm fixing to explode. It's so damn good. I feel my cock twitch and I explode all over my hand.

"Nathan." I call out as the first burst of cum hits my hand.

"Would you like me to call Dr. Stark , sheriff?" Sarah asks , scaring the hell out of me.

"NO!!" I yell at her. Damn smart house.
