Another hard day at the ARC was over, but surprisingly, not everyone was so keen to leaving. Captain Becker usually couldn't wait to get home but today was different. Throughout the entire week, Danny Quinn had been trying to convince Becker to have a little fun for once. Earlier this morning, he finally cracked.
Flashback
Becker was doing inventory in the weapon room. He was trying to avoid Danny. He had been pestering him all week about joining him in speed dating all week. Becker purposely let his second in command go on the anomaly hunt with the rest of the crew so that he didn't have to deal with Danny's pestering.
Becker finished cleaning a long shot gun and put it back in its proper place. He stopped and looked around. The place was too quit. It was as if something was watching him. As if karma could read his mind, Danny come dropping in the weapon room from the air vents.
"WHAT THE HELL DANNY," shouted Becker.
Danny was laughing at Becker's reaction to his little joke.
"Oh, come on solider boy. I wasn't doing any harm."
Becker cringed at the nickname.
"I told you never to call me that," he said through his teeth.
"See, that's your problem," said Danny. "You're always so serious. That's why I want to take you tonight to speed dating."
"I'm not going," said Becker.
"Yes you are."
"No, I'm not."
"Yes, you are."
"NO I AM NOT GOING DANIEL QUINN! AND THAT'S FINAL!!!"
"YES YOU ARE CAPTAIN……..captain……da……..CAPTAIN SOMETHING BECKER!!!!"
Becker threw his head back in frustration.
"Alright, I'll go!!" he said, "but I'm not promising I'll speed date."
Danny smiled.
"I knew you would crack," he said. "I just didn't think it would be so soon. To think, I made an entire 5 page list of things to try to make you crack."
"Shut up," said Becker.
As Becker drove to the bar, he was regretting his decision. Anything could happen tonight. For some reason, Danny thought solider boy needed a personal life. Becker disagreed. He figured that his job would get in the way of a relationship and he couldn't afford having one at this time. But yet, somehow Danny's yelling and bickering convinced him to agree.
Becker pulled into the bar parking lot. There he saw Danny waiting outside for him. Becker slowly walked up to Danny.
"You ready?" Danny asked.
"No," said Becker.
"Oh come on," said Danny, "you'll have fun."
The two walked into the bar. The place was packed.
"Looks like there will be tons of options," said Danny.
Becker groaned. He wasn't looking forward to this. Danny immediately went over and signed himself and Becker up.
"Do I have to do it?" asked Becker.
"Yes," said Danny as he finished writing the names down on their papers and handed it to Becker. "You'll thank me later."
"Doubt that," he said as he yanked the paper out of Becker's hand.
Becker walked over to an empty table and sat himself down.
"Here goes nothing," he said.
The night, Becker found, was very boring. A bunch of young girls did come up to him and they did talk, it was just that he wasn't very open. There was one date left for him that night. He looked at his sheet. He had no phone numbers. Becker sighed.
"Hey, how's it going for you?" asked Danny who was behind him.
"I've got no dates, you?"
"Just one, but the chick was real weird. I don't think I'll be calling her. I hope that this last one will be a success."
"Yeah," said Becker.
"What was that? Do my ears deceive me? Captain Becker is GLAD he came?"
"No," said Becker. "It's just that I want at least one so that this whole night wouldn't be a waist."
"Sure, whatever you say Becker."
Becker shoved Danny.
"Stuff it."
The bell rang for the next round to start.
"See ya mate," said Danny as he went back to his table.
Becker sighed and looked at his watch.
"10:00" the watch read.
"Hey," said a female voice.
It sounded awkwardly familiar. Becker looked up and saw Dr. Sarah Page standing across from him.
"Hi," he said.
"What are you doing here?"
"Danny," said Becker.
Sarah looked confused.
"What? Didn't he announce it to the entire building that he was able to convince the captain to go to a bar for speed dating?"
Sarah smiled.
"No actually he didn't," she said.
"Really, I had a strong feeling he would when he went skipping out of the weaponry singing, 'Captain's going speed dating!' like there was no tomorrow."
Sarah laughed hard and sat down in the seat across from Becker.
"So, there must also be some reason you're here. And don't tell me that a possible artifact from the ancient world is hidden under the bar, because I'm not helping you create a distraction."
Sarah giggled.
"No, Connor and Abby were going out and felt bad that I wasn't doing anything tonight so they invited me to come with them."
Becker looked around the bar.
"I don't see them," he said.
"Yeah," said Sarah. "They weren't planning on doing speed dating. I just did it because I was getting bored. Watching people get full out drunk then snog the night away gets pretty sick after a while."
Becker laughed.
The two talked for a while. They had a good time together. Whenever Sarah smiled or laughed, Becker got flustered and tried to keep his cool so that he didn't look like a complete idiot in front of her. He couldn't let Sarah Page know that he's really a nervous wreck.
After speed dating was over, Sarah and Becker stayed a bit at the bar a bit longer and talked. At about 11:30, he saw Danny motioning for him to come over.
"Excuse me," said Becker. "I'll be right back."
Becker got up and followed Danny to the men's loo.
"So," said Danny, "do my eyes deceive me? Captain Becker talking to Dr. Page after the speed dating is over? What did I miss mate?"
"Nothing in the slightest," said Becker. "Besides, why are you still here? Shouldn't you be trying to drag me out by now?"
"Well, I was talking to a lady myself, and she just left, and I was wondering why you weren't bugging me to leave."
"Well, who was this "lady" you were talking to?"
Danny looked around.
"No…one…in particular."
"Well, then, if you will excuse me, I'm going to go, then get back to Sarah."
Becker then turned and went into a stall.
"Be careful while using the toilet!" called Danny.
While Becker was washing his hands, he kept thinking about Sarah. She was all alone in the bar. Connor and Abby decided to do things on their own and left her by herself. So now, his extremely nerdy yet super sexy and gorgeous…..wait, where did that come from?
Becker shook his head clear of all thoughts on Sarah. He walked out of the bathroom and headed back to the table. On his way, he ran into Danny.
"I'll meet you in the car mate," he said.
"Okay," said Becker.
Becker watched as Danny left the bar. Then he turned his attention to Sarah, and dropped his jaw in shock. Becker saw Sarah sitting at the table, but he also saw a smelly looking fat man sneak up behind her with a gun in his hand. Sarah didn't seem to notice. Becker watched as the man slowly lifted the gun to Sarah's head.
By instinct, Becker reached for his gun, but found it wasn't there.
"Damn it," he murmured.
Becker saw the man about to pull the trigger. He panicked. Without thinking he shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Oi!" he yelled, "put the gun down!"
The whole bar had their attention on Becker who had his eyes on the man. Sarah slowly turned her head behind her and saw the gun. She screamed. Becker ran up to Sarah and stood in front of her.
"She yours?" asked the fat man.
"No," said Becker quickly. "She's….my co-worker."
"Oh, so you won't mind if I take her?" said the man as he yanked Sarah towards him.
This got Becker man, but he still kept his cool.
"Actually, I do mind," said Becker.
"Well then," said the man, "I guess I'll have the finish you off first."
The man then directed the gun to Becker's chest. He looked over at Sarah. Panic took over her face.
"Don't do it," he could see her mouth out.
Becker decided quickly on what to do; he punched the guy in the jaw. The force was really strong and flew the man backwards, making him let go of Sarah, but making him accidentally pulling the trigger.
POW
The gun was shot, and a lifeless body was left on the floor. It was Sarah's.
Becker felt enraged. He walked up to the man and beat all hell out of him. When he was certain he was out cold, he left the lifeless body there and rushed over to Sarah's aid.
Sarah was paling quickly. She got shot in the side and was losing blood. Becker figured there was still hope. Becker stuck his hand to where the bullet was and pulled it out of her skin. It wasn't very deep in. Half of it was sticking out.
Becker tore off a piece of his pant leg and used it to clean to wound. By the time it was all cleaned, the ambulance and Scotland Yard had come and was taking the other man to prison.
As the paramedics put Sarah on a stretcher, Becker walked up to one.
"Is she going to be alright?" he asked.
"We're pretty sure," the paramedic said. "She's lost a bit of blood, but you got the bullet out and she seems to be somewhat alive, I would highly count on it."
Becker thanked the paramedic and walked over to the ambulance.
"Can I go with her?" he asked.
"You the husband?" asked the man.
"No," said Becker quickly.
The man looked at him.
"I'm just a very good friend."
"Then sir, you will have to wait until the morning. We're planning on doing surgery tonight and we only want to family there."
Becker nodded.
The next day, Becker woke up at 5:30 a.m. He had a hard time falling asleep that night and was really tired. But he still got out of bed and took a shower. Once he was dressed in some casual clothes, he rushed out the door and headed for the hospital.
"Excuse me," said Becker at the front desk of the hospital. "What room is Sarah Page in?"
"Just one minute sir," she said.
The lady took out a big book and flipped through the pages.
"Looks like room 109," she said.
"Thank you," said Becker as he rushed down the hallway and tried to find room 109.
He found it fairly quickly. It was on the first floor and the fifth room on the right. He stood outside the room, preparing for the worst. He slowly opened the door and saw Sarah lying on the bed perfectly still. She looked normal, as beautiful as ever. She looked so peaceful, and yet….so gorgeous. Becker was blown away but this appearance.
Then he heard the door open behind him. Becker turned around and saw the doctor come in.
"Ah yes, Mr. Becker," he said. "Ms Page responded very well to the operation. We now are just waiting for her to wake up."
"Thank you sir," said Becker. "Do you mind if I stay here?"
"Not at all," said the doctor.
After the doctor left Becker moved a chair up to Sarah's bedside. He took her hand in his and used the other to stroke her hair.
"I'm so sorry Sarah," Becker whispered. "This should have never happened. I should have unarmed him or something before punching him. I'm so sorry."
Becker could feel tears form in his eyes. He couldn't lose her. She may not have known this, but she was what got him up in the day, and what helped him get through the hard times. Her laugh and smile made him happy. She had to wake up, she just had to!
Three days went by and Sarah had not awakened. Still, Becker would go to the hospital every day and sit by her bedside. Connor, Danny and Abby came every once in a while, but usually had to leave because of anomaly calls. Becker would stay behind with Sarah.
On the fourth day, something happened. Becker walked to the hospital. Today, he brought flowers to put by her bed. He knew Sarah loved flowers. Becker came into the room and saw something different. Sarah was sitting up in bed. She turned her head and smiled at Becker.
"Sarah," said Becker dropping the flowers and running towards the bed.
Becker leaned over and hugged Sarah slightly. He held her hand in his and started stroking her hair.
"How do you feel?" he asked,
Sarah laughed.
"I'm fine Becker," she said. "I get to go home later on."
Becker smiled.
Becker decided to stay and bring Sarah home. It was about 10 and Becker was getting tired.
"Becker," said Sarah.
"Hm."
"You can sleep for a few hours if you want."
"You sure?"
"Yeah, you look tired. Probably been working too hard eh?"
Becker laughed and rested his head on the back of the chair and fell asleep.
Sarah sighed. He was being so nice, visiting her and talking to her. He was being a very good friend.
Sarah looked at Becker, sleeping on the chair. He's so cute when he slept. Not to mention really hot when he was awake, and his eyes…..wait…what am I saying?
Sarah was snapped out from her thoughts when she heard someone talking.
"Sarah," said Becker.
"Yeah," she said.
"Sarah, don't leave."
"Umm, I can really go anywhere right now Becker."
"Sarah, don't leave, please. I never got to tell you."
"Tell me what?" she asked.
"No, Sarah, don't!! Sarah I love you."
Sarah froze.
It was almost 7 and Becker was driving Sarah home. She hadn't said anything to him since he woke up and he was getting suspicious. They pulled up to her house and Sarah got out.
"Thanks," she said without looking up at Becker.
"Hey," said Becker, "can I come in?"
Sarah shrugged.
"Sure, I guess."
Becker followed Sarah into her house. It wasn't very big, but suited her. He turned to Sarah and got straight to the point.
"Okay look," he said, "what's up with you? Why are you being so cold?"
"Did you know that you talk in your sleep?" she asked.
Becker looked at her confused.
"No, I didn't. Why?"
"When you fell asleep, you seemed to be talking to someone. You were saying "Sarah don't go" and then you said, "Sarah, I love you."
Becker froze. He looked down in embarrassment.
"Yeah," he said. "I had a dream that you were going to be like Helen and explore anomalies on your own, and I really wanted to tell you something."
"And that something was "I love you"?"
Becker nodded.
"Well, do you? Or were you just saying that?"
Becker didn't answer. Sarah drew her attention to the floor. Becker walked closer to her and lifter her chin so she could face him again.
"Does this answer your question?" he asked.
Before Sarah could answer, she felt a pair of lips on hers. Becker was kissing her lightly.
Sarah didn't pull away, she actually started kissing back. Becker had his hands on her back while she messed up his hair with her fingers. After a few minutes, Becker broke the kiss.
The two looked at each other for a minute, then Becker left Sarah's house, closing the door behind him.
Same old cliffy. Sorry, no changing it now!!! REVIEW!!!!
