Jecker Story - Chapter 3 - Jess' POV

He was thinking about leaving for good? How can he even think about leaving at all? All he is doing is thinking of all the negative side of the job he isn't thinking about the positives he isn't thinking about all the lives he has saved and will save if he stays here, there are people that need him to stay here their lives depend on it "Becker you can't leave the ARC... The ARC is your home where you belong... We need you here" I stated pleadingly placing my case to him "Don't leave" I pleaded again I knew I had desperation in my eyes. There is no one who works here who I would trust my life with more then Becker he is always there to rescue me when I need him and he rescue's anyone else that needs him who says his replacement is going to be as kind and loyal as Becker is, I personally don't want to risk it.

"Nothing lasts forever and I think this may be the end of the line for me" he said and shrugged his shoulders as if it was nothing "As much as I love it here and love the people here I think it's time I move on and find a less stressful job and I'm getting older now I'm nearly 30 years old I can't be running around acting like Action Man for the rest of my life... As much as I want to" he smiled sadly at me and stood up "We should carry on" he started working again and looking through the boxes.

I can't believe what I just heard him say he wanted to leave the ARC for good, he wanted to leave me for good, I needed to find a way to let him know how much everyone needs him here and convince him to stay "Before you make any decisions why don't you find another job first, it could take you months to find one and by then you might realise that you want to stay here" I suggested hoping to put him off leaving for as long as possible.

"Actually the Minister has offered my a job as head of security at Number 10 and I was thinking about taking it" why wasn't I surprised that he had other job offers, he was probably getting job offers everyday and I knew Connor and Abby where in them up to their knees.

How can I convince him to stay? "Becker I want you to stay and I know everyone here is going to want you to stay even Lester, he won't be able to find someone to fill you post that was as good as you and you know he won't you know how good you are at your job, yes you might not get the appreciation you deserve sometimes but none of us do, is there anyway I can convince you to stay?" I asked hoping there was but not getting my hopes up.

He looked me right in the eyes "I need something to make me stay... Something worthwhile" I knew just the thing, I dropped my clipboard and pen and rushed over to him shoving him lightly against the wall, I placed my lips on his and kissed him with as much passion as I could to prove to him how much I wanted him to stay and praying that I was worthwhile enough for him to stay and for a split second I didn't think I was and then I felt him kissing back, I felt his hands go down my back and rest on my waist we stood there like this for a while and I knew Abby and Connor will probably be watching but I didn't care, I didn't care if Lester was watching or the whole ARC or the Minister.

we pulled away from the kiss when breathing became a problem and I looked up at him begging him with my eyes to stay here with me forever "Am I worth your while?" I asked him breathlessly with passion and fear in my voice expecting him to say no and walk out of here but he surprised me when he kissed me again and my hands found their way into his hair finally getting to touch his soft hair my fingers running through it his thumbs going round in circles at my hips I felt his tongue run across my bottom lip asking for access, my lips slipped open.

As much as I wanted to continue I knew we were being watched "You know Abby is watching us" I said he nodded and we stopped kissing "Becker please don't leave, I can do whatever you want me to do I promise just don't go and leave me... Please" I pleaded with him I knew I was being selfish by asking him to stay when he wanted to go but I need him here.

Becker's POV

Me and Jess walked back up to the hub when we had finished sorting the evidence out and the core team even Lester where stood at the ADD, Connor and Abby were wolf whistling at us the rest of the team were smiling looking at us even Lester cracked a smile but I think that was because he was more happy for Jess then me he cared for Jess like a daughter "I'll let the Minister know you have turned down his job offer" with that he walked away back to his office and pulled the blinds down.

"Thanks for watching Abby really appreciate it" Jess said with her voice dripping with sarcasm "Anyway i'm finished for the day so I'm going home, are you two finished yet?" She asked them and they both shook their heads at her and Abby told her they wasn't finished until really late tonight so I took Jess' hand and walked her down to the car park "Do you want to come back with me? Have dinner?" She questioned, it sounded as if she had been waiting to ask me it for a while.

"Sure, sounds good to me. I hope you can cook because my cooking is terrible" she giggled and I helped her into her car before hoping into my truck and followed her out of the car park to her apartment.

Jess' POV

Becker was looking over the table at me with a smile on his face eating his dinner, I had decided to make something simple buy nice so I went with pasta and he seemed happy enough with that and he seemed to be enjoying it which was good I'm not the best cook but I can do the basics to be honest Abby does most of the cooking around here "So is this our first date or do I have to ask you out somewhere nice?" He joked.

"No this is a good first date" I smiled at him and he looked down at his plate.

After dinner I checked my phone and I had a text from Abby saying she and Connor wouldn't be finished work for another three hours at least then they were going to go out and grab something, I went and sat next to Connor on the sofa he had a beer in one hand and a glass of wine in the other and when I sat down he handed me the glass of wine I put the TV on but there wasn't anything that good on so I put on a music channel and put it on low so we could talk but have the music in the background.

I thought I knew him but it turns out I hardly knew him at all he told me he had two younger sisters Lisa who was 23 and married with a 8month old son called Jack and Charlotte who was 18 she had just finished college and was tarting university in a couple of months to become a vet, he seemed really proud of his sisters but he didn't really mention his parents and I was curious to know why but I didn't want to push it as it was a first date and all, he told me he moved around a lot because his dad was in the army and got moved to different bases all the time and he was in lots of different schools, he was always the new kid.

He asked me about my life but there wasn't much to tell, I had an older brother called Nick was 25 he was single and had no children my dad was in the navy my parents got divorced three years ago after my mum found out he was having an affair which had lasted six months that was it, I lived in the same house all my life until I got this place... Normal compared to him.

I felt now that we where a lot closer but I still wanted to know about his parents.
