Moments

I just want to thank you all for reading/reviewing/following and favouring this story! I have read the reviews and I am taking in on board the fact that it is not as Waige based as some of you might have hoped but I can promise that I am trying to show their relationship progress in a tempo that is shown in the episodes (aka not make them move too fast). I hope that you will all stick with the story nevertheless as I have a lot of plot twists that I hope you will like planed later on in the story : - )

Disclaimer: I do not own Scorpion or any of its characters. I'm just a massive fan that likes to write!

Once Toby's eyes finally stopped focusing on the outside surroundings of the car window, the doctor slouched back into his seat. To everyone else that might have seemed as just a simple, meaningless hat. To him it was a reminder that Happy cared. That underneath her hard armour, was a flood of emotions that she was desperately trying to hide. That hat was a reminder that he had a loving and caring family. The cyclone. After his miserable childhood he thought that he never deserved anything better but now that was no longer true. That hat, the first Christmas present that he ever received, was blown up into a bundle of worthless dust, destroyed by someone's greed and hatred.

In deep frustration the young doctor combed his fingers through his hatless hair and turned to look darkly at Amanda. It was her fault that he lost his most important talisman. It was her fault that Happy was now mad at him for breaking her wrist just for trying to protect her. The team should have never accepted this case. If only he knew before that he would have to deal with Amanda's enemies he wouldn't have allowed for any of them to do it. All he wanted now was to just end the case. To get it over and done with and return to the time when he no longer dreamed or thought of Amanda. Las time that took him two years. This time it was going to be near impossible

The dark car came to a halt. It took a while for someone to finally unfreeze from their catatonic state and begin fiddling with their seat belt. That person was Walter. He slid open the back seat door of the car and before stepping out turned to look at the figure beside him. Paige was still shivering. Her knees were moving back and forth in frustration. She must have been used to life-threatening situations by now but somehow they always ended differently. They were always to escape before a car tipped over the edge or before a crazy maniac shot. This time they didn't. There were little chances of them surviving this but they did. Paige however wasn't thinking of what happened but what could have happened. That's what most normals did. At first this confused the genius but as he thought deeper he begun to understand. That bomb could have killed them all. Ralph could have been motherless and left in the hands of that idiotic jock that has once already not worthy of being a father. Walter still didn't understand why Paige let that man gain a second chance to hurt her precious child. Walter however, kept this view of the situation because he valued Paige's decision and hated whenever they argued. Each time that he and Paige argued he was one step closer to losing one of the few people that he deeply loved but still felt unsure if he should admit it.

The genius paused his brief train of thought and cupped Paige's hands into his own. She immediately looked up at him as if to ask if he was aware of what he was doing. As a reply he squeezed her hands even more firmly and helped her carefully out of the car. Paige appreciated the gentlemanly gesture and smiled in response.

As the couple made their way up the sidewalk that lead directly to Amanda's house, the habitant herself limped after them. As Cabe opened the doors Amanda gasped and quickly covered her mouth as tears started forming in her eyes. The inside of the house looked as if a tornado passed violently. Glass was shattered everywhere and cardboard boxes seemed to have been flung all around the rooms. Cabe quickly noticed two different pairs of footprints and after examining them carefully, followed their trail. Walter gently released Paige's hand and after hearing her soft whisper "Be careful", begun to shadow the agent whilst carefully placing his feet to avoid stepping on anything that lay on the floor.

Once everyone had the chance to observe the whole demolished house they decided to take action. Cabe stood in front of them and started to explain what they were going to do.

"This is no longer a simple security installation job. We need to do everything that we can to ensure Amanda's safety which has now been threatened even more. Someone, possibly Anthony, found her safe house location. What we need to do is find out who did it and how."

"We know that one of those people was a tech expert" spoke Walter and commenced again as everyone turned to look at him needing more information on his theory. "That person may not necessarily have been Anthony because for all we know he could have been working with an accomplice. That accomplice most defiantly installed the bomb in the laptop and decoded the GPS in Anthony's phone that lead us to the wrong location and fall right into their trap."

Cabe though about what Walter said and nodded in agreement. He then instructed everyone to go back to the car and promised Amanda that for the time being she will be staying with the team in the garage before the case is sorted. Toby rolled his eyes at this comment and irritably strode off to the vehicle.

It took a whole hour for Sylvester to arrive at the hospital. The bus journey that he had to take was unpleasant and made him use up a whole bottle of his anti-bacteria hand spray. As soon as he entered the uncomfortable surrounding of the hospital he headed to the reception desk and asked the nurse if he could visit Megan O'Brien. The nurse looked at him and nodded at him before telling him the room number, which he already memorised, and returned to her work. Sylvester thanked the nurse in appreciation and hurried off to see Megan.

When he arrived in her room he saw her pale face resting on a pillow and her eyes closed. He didn't want her to wake up knowing that she needed rest but walked up to her bed and kissed her on her forehead. In response to his lips against her forehead Megan's eyes opened and her mouth curled up into a thin smile.

"Sylvester" was all that she said but even that simple word made Sly's eyes shine with happiness and his finders reached out to grab her hand.

He felt like he could have stayed in that moment forever but urgently wanted to find out why Megan had asked him to come and what the bad news were. As soon as he asked her this he saw her smile fade away as she said…

"I have four hours left to live."
