Authors Note: Thank you so much for your reviews, any of you seen the Paranormal Activity movies? I don't scare easy but they gave me the creeps. And special thanks to my brother who helped me put together a 'soundtrack' for each of my stories (the track list is in my profile located at the bottom) thanks bro!
Thank you again for reading.
Becker came to work the next day and he started searching out Connor to ask him if he now knew if she is alright, walking into his lab that was set up by Phillip, Becker was surprised to see Jess TV (it had her name on the back) on the table and Connor was in the process of taking it apart.
"Are you doing repairs for her now too?" Becker asked laughing; Connor gave him a sidelong look but didn't reply.
Becker stood there saying nothing for an awkward moment.
"So is she doing alright mate?" Becker asked, Connor turned around in his chair facing the military Captain.
"She's fine Becker, she just needs a someone to spend a few days with her."
"Would you like me to take over?" Becker asked without hesitation, earning him a look from Connor. Connor cared for Becker, but he often wondered if Becker thought he was incapable of being of any use, as far as protecting someone – being upset, Connor hit Becker where he knew it would bleed.
"You know what mate; I think she would prefer me over you." Connor turned back to what he was doing.
"Excuse me…" Becker started to say his voice an edge, when Jess came into the room.
"Connor… hi Becker." She said acknowledging the Captain before turning her attention back to Connor, Becker watched as something passed between them – an unspoken conversation with their eyes.
"There is nothing wrong with it is there?" Jess asked in low tone.
"As far as I can tell, no." Connor answered apologetically; setting down his tools he got up and put his arm around Jess shoulder. "Let's go get some coffee and talk." He suggested giving Becker a nod Jess left with Connor.
Becker turned back to look at the TV that had been taken apart, what was going on with those two…and why did it bother him so much?
Connor and Jess sat at the coffee shop talking, Connor and brought with him the CCTV cameras that he would be setting up around her house.
"Are you sure that this is necessary?" She asked eyeing the new equipment dubiously.
"We need to see exactly what is going on, don't worry I'll keep it out of the bathroom." Connor added trying to get her to laugh, and smiled at her when she did. Connor turned serious again.
"Why didn't you go to Becker with this?" Connor asked genuinely curious. Setting down her coffee she let out a sigh.
"Truth?" She asked.
"Truth." Connor replied.
"You are the most open minded member of the team; I knew that if there was anyone I could go to with this and judge me it would be you." She explained.
"Becker's bothered by you coming to me and not him." Connor said without really thinking, when he looked at Jess she was trying to hide the color that had crept into her cheeks.
