The First Date

Methos lead Diana into the building to the reception desk. “Hi, may I help you?” The perky blond receptionist asked.

“As a matter of fact you can. I was told to ask for Justin and he would show us to our new offices.” Methos replied with a charming smile.

The receptionist blushed slightly “Of course just one moment.” She hit a button and talked into her headset. “Yes, not a problem I’ll let them know.” She turned back to them with a smile. “Justin said to take a seat and he will be with you in just a few moments.”

Methos thanked the girl and lead Diana to the waiting chairs. “So where would you like to go tonight after work?” Methos asked knowing it would probably be the only time they would have to discuss it.

“I’m not sure what do you like?” Diana answered as she took his hand.

“I like just about everything, but you live here so I thought you might have an idea of what there is to do for fun around here.” Methos supplied

“To tell you the truth I don’t really go out much. I just never seem to find the time, but there is a restaurant in Roswell that has a band every night. Do you like the blues?” Diana offered

“I love the blues it’s settled then the restaurant in Roswell it is!” Methos lifted Diana’s hand and kissed it lightly. She smiled and blushed slightly. A man walked over to them and interrupted.

“Excuse me. Hi, I’m Justin Hall and I’m assuming you are Mr. Pierson?” He asked holding out his hand.

“Yes and this is my assistant Ms. Diana Mathews.” Methos said as he rose and took the other man’s hand.

“Ms. Mathews.” Justin greeted then turned back to Methos “Right this way Mr. Person.” Justin led the way to the elevator and typed in a code. The elevator opened and they all went inside. Justin pushed the button for the seventh floor. Once the doors were closed Justin took out a key and put it into the switch on the panel. “As you can see we take security very seriously here. Mr. McLeod stated that you might want to implement a few extra precautions, but I can assure you, your project will be safe with us.”

“That’s very reassuring Mr. Hall but I’ll look over things just the same.” Methos said casually

They walked out of the elevator and down the hall to the last door. There were cameras on both sides of the door and a key pad to unlock it. Justin punched in the code and opened the door. The room was very open with empty book shelves lining the walls. The wall on the right however was lined with refrigerator units the doors were glass so you could see what was inside. In the center of the room were two large stainless steel tables each with a computer on the far end.

“I hope everything is to your liking.” Justin asked

“Yes everything seems to be in order. Once Mr. McLeod arrives I should have had a chance to look over everything. Thank you that will be all.” Methos dismissed Justin.

“Well good luck.” Justine said letting himself out.

Methos walked around the room with a small smile on his face.

“Wow, this is really cool.” Diana said as she looked though the lab area it had everything they would need to preserve the scroll properly. “The college I work for would be so envious.”

“So would some of the universities I worked at Mac is really pulling out all the stops. I just hope this isn’t a wild goose chase.” Methos said

“But why all the security?” Diana asked she didn’t mind but it made her feel a little nervous.

“I think that would be for me. I have research material that is very valuable not to mention my journals. So he wants me to feel safe enough to use them here. My friends seem to think I’m a bit paranoid.” He finished with a smirk
