Chapter six
In the dining hall
Chris takes the empty seat next to me sighing in anguish. I raise my brow in question.
"Peter's in, but Albert couldn't be more against it," he says sagging back in his chair. He straitens backup once Bucky comes to the table.
"how did it go?" He says taking the seat across from mine. Chris responds with another sigh sliding down his chair. "Not good then."
"This isn't going to work if all of or 'connections' refuse to aid us," I say in woe.
"Well don't loose confidence quite yet," Matt says approaching the table and taking the seat beside Bucky. "Sherlock and john are trying to find out more information from Merlin, but to no avail so far" he scans the table momentarily. "where's Sam?"
"with, erm...Dean." Chris says scratching the back of his head awkwardly. I sigh.
"we can't get through this if sam isn't there to help us."
"and that's probably the exact reason Deans not going to let him out of his sight. well, at least not till they clean the crime scene." Matt says diverting his gaze to the two boys approaching our table.
"can we help you?" Bucky says as the two boys take a seat. I recognize one of them as Peter but the other I've never seen before. He has dark brown unruly hair with the precision of a birds nest, striking blue eyes, and a smug smile on his face.
"Captain Jack Harkness, and who are you?" he says directing the last bit towards me. Matt rolls his eyes and asks irritated.
" right, and how can we help you?"
"no, the question is how can I help you? I hear you plan on breaking into the crime scene." I angrily divert my gaze to Peter and he responds with saying,
"It's obvious that Sam isn't going to help you so I decided that my friend he could be the muscle."
"Well, I'm a lot more than just muscle," Jack says winking at me. Matt miffed and before he could speak Bucky cuts in
"Peter you can't go around telling everyone that!"
"what? I was just trying to help." Peter says defending himself.
"peter's right, jack could be useful," I say siding with Peter.
"Fine," Matt says crossing his arms.
"Great!" Peter says as the two of them stand up. As they walk away Jack turns to me.
"I guess I'll be seeing you tonight."
"Stop it." Matt says.
"Don't worry I'll make some time for you too." jack retorts back with a smirk evident on his face. Matt roles his eyes as he continued to walk away.
"Don't be fooled be his charm, Samantha," Matt says arms still crossed leaning back in his chair.
"Don't worry, he's not my type." I respond shaking my head slightly.
"HIS BEST FRIEND JUST DIED! IT'S A PERFECT REASON TO BE DELICATE!" I hear John shout at Sherlock as they enter the Dining Hall. We all look over to their position a slight smile forming on our lips.
"I NEEDED INFORMATION QUICKLY!" Sherlock shouts back.
"Ship it!" I turn to see Wade Wilson sitting at the table across from us looking at the two friends fighting.
"YOU DON'T GET IT BY MAKING SOMEONE CRY!" John says walking to our table and taking a seat. Sherlock follows behind and slumps into his chair.
"Afternoon," Matt says to the two breaking the silence.
"Did you get anything useful from Merlin?" Chris asks.
"Nothing but a couple of tears courtesy of Sherlock." John sarcastically, Sherlock responding with a scoff.
"If you would've allowed me a couple more minutes I could have gotten something."
"no, all you would have gotten is a lot more tears and no information!"
"and you would be able to do better?"
"Ye-"
"Will you two shut up!" I call out to end their pointless bickering. They all fall silence and turn their gazes to my direction. "Now let's discuss the matter at hand. So far we have Peter, Lillian, and a bloke named Jack Harkness willing to help us."
"What about Albert?" John questions.
Chris shakes his head. "Nope."
"You don't think Peter can talk him into it?" He questions, adjusting his sitting position. Chris shrugs and John nods back slightly before standing up. "be right back." He walks away towards the long line where the food is being served. The table is in a thoughtful sillence until sherlock breaks it.
"Fancy a date, Samantha?"
"A what?" I ask equally confused as the others.
"A date." Sherlock repeats himself. "With Merlin."
"Why would she want to go on a date with Merlin?" Matt asks glancing at me then back to sherlock.
"For information!" Sherlock roles his eyes at how slow we are compared to him. " You may haven't of noticed, but people are more likely to share information with you if they believe you are on the same emotional level as they are."
"But why do I have to do it?" I ask shifting awkwardly in my seat.
"Because you are the only one etiquette for the job." He shrugged.
"In other words I'm the only girl available." I retorted. "Even if I did say I'll do it, what makes you think he'd want to go out with me?"
"You'll be his 'rebound'." He said glancing over to John making his way back to the table.
"Did I miss anything?" John asks sitting down.
"Sherlock's trying to hook Samantha up with Merlin." Bucky answers.
"What?" John looks to sherlock confused.
"For information!" He sighs clearly annoyed.
"So you're telling me you are going to make Samantha date some one and as soon as she gets the information you need she's just going to break his heart?"
"No. I'm just telling you he will most defiantly give us the information we need for the case if he believes Samantha shares feelings with him." Sherlock explains innocently. John scoffs at his lack of human understanding.
"You're and idiot." He responds. Sherlocks confused expression makes John explain his accusation. "His best friend just died, sherlock! He's already an emotional wreck, and you want to throw Samantha into his path just so you can take advantage of his delicate state! And for what? This bloody case!" Sherlock fumbles for words seeing how angry he made John
"Anyway..." Matt cuts in trying to change the subject as well as rid the unnerving silence. "Shall we pick a time to carry this extravagant plan out?"
"Yea." Chris agrees shifting his attention from John and Sherlock to Matt.
"I was thinking around ten-ish?" Bucky ads.
"Depending what time it should be clear of officers." I say also changing my gaze.
"Six." Sherlock says completely acting as if the fight John and he had never happened. John, on the other hand, was trying to recompose himself. " the officers should be cleared by six, but Coulson's office over looks that area and on a normal day he doesn't leave till about eleven."
"Epitimy of workaholic" Bucky joked.
"So about eleven thirty we should start?" Chris ask a smirk still on his face from buck's joke. Sherlock nods in reply. "Were should me make base?"
"We can't use my dorm." I say brining everyone's attention towards me. " Lillian is having Clint over after she snags the keys from the janitor." I finish taking a gulp of my water.
"Right... and we can't use Chris and I room because if dean notices Sam gone the first place he'll check is there." Matt says after me.
"And I share a room with Merlin so..." Bucky says, the answer in itself.
"221 it is then." John says taking a bite of his dinner.
"When is Lilli supposed to give you the keys?" Matt asks me. I check my phone.
"Um... five minutes." I stand up from my seat. "See you later." I walk out the dinning hall and towards my dorm to be interrupted from my thoughts by non the less 'captain' Jack Harkness. What makes him a captain anyway?
"It's not safe to walk around by yourself at this hour." He says looking down at me.
"And why's that." I say refusing to look up at him.
"Well anything could happen to you." He says with a shrug.
"Yea, like a strange man rudely interrupting your thoughts." I say crossing my arms barley glancing at him to see a smirk forming on his lips.
"You think I'm strange?" He asks not losing the smirk across his face.
"I think you're a stranger." I correct. He laughs showing his perfectly straight, crystal white teeth. I'll give it to him, he is handsome, but he also looks like he knows his way with women(... and men.) Even with that belt and suspenders (wearing both at the same time?) He can't keep his pants up.
"Right. So how do I not be a stranger?" He ask the smile never leaving his face.
"Get to know each other." I shrug.
"Okay... so why are you breaking into a crime scene? You don't look like the kind of person to risk getting thrown out of a school."
"Hold on we're still on first name basis." I joke.
"My apologies." He says jokingly holding his hands up in surrender. "But really why are you doing this? It has to be more than justifying Arthur's death from being wrongly accused." I looked to the ground trying to find an answer. I never really thought about it.
"I...I don't know..." I admit after a few moments of silence. He nods in understatement.
"Well, this is your stop." He says opening the door to building B. "See you later?"
"Thank you. Yea, see you later." I say entering the building smiling back at him I enter the elevator and make way to my dorm.
"Finnaly!" Lilli expressed looking up from her computer screen. I looked to the clock on the nightstand.
"I'm barley two minutes late!" I sigh sitting in the chair pulled out from under the desk.
"Exactly! Key word in there is late." I role my eyes.
"Speaking of keys." I hint. Nods to the end of her bed where I see at least twenty keys around one keyring. "Thanks!" I walk over and pick the keys up pocketing them.
"What time are you coming back?" She ask closing he computer. I shrug.
"Pretty late I expect." She continues to look at me until I give her an exact answer. I sigh again. " I'll see if I can bunk with someone else."
"Great!" She says smilling at me saying exactly what she wanted to hear.
"Don't do anything stupid." I say making my way to the door only for her to laugh in response. " Thanks again for the keys." I close the door behind me making way to the lobby where everyone just entered.
