The steady beep
Lifeless
The beep of the life support machine was the only noise that shattered the awkward silence. Five lifeless figures were motionless in the white hospital room, one hooked up to the machine.
"Come on we best get back, Lester will be waiting," Danny said hoisting himself from his seat. Sarah and Becker followed him to the door but turned back to gaze at Abby as she held Connor's hand in her own.
"Come on Abby, you need some rest." Becker said shuffling over to her and placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
"I can't leave him." Abby said, tightening her grip on Connor's hand. "What if he wakes up and no one is there?"
"Then we'll get back as soon as we know he is awake. But what if he wakes up now and sees us looking like death, I don't think he'd appreciate that."
Abby cringed at the word death but slowly got to her feet. "Only for an hour, but I need to be there for him."
"You will be." With that the gang left leaving Connor beeping rhythmically on the machine.
"We've got an anomaly!" Connor shouted as he slid across the ARC floor on his chair, nearly crashing into Lester who yelped in surprise.
"Where is it?" Danny asked as he crashed through the ARC doors, followed shortly by Sarah and Becker. Abby appeared to the left of Connor and leant onto his chair.
"Seems it's appeared in an alleyway not far from here."
"Lets go!" Danny yelled storming towards the doors.
"I wish he wouldn't yell so much, he really does irritate me." Lester huffed as he strolled to his office.
