Chapter 1

"Intruder Alert. All units to corridor 5." Jess' voice was loud and clear as Becker heard her words. He was close, probably the closest man, to corridor 5 and he had an idea who this intruder was: Ethan or Patrick. The name didn't really matter to him. All that mattered was the fact, that this man was a serious threat to everyones safety. He was crazy, simply put. Becker ran, EMD raised towards the corridor. Sadly Emily was already there and he had her.

"Hey! Ethan or Patrick or whatever your name is.", he called out as he saw, that Ethan somehow managed to get a real gun, which he now held to Emilys temple. If he shot, Emily would be dead and there was no way, that he could shoot Ethan and stop him from shooting Emily. His finger would probably still contract and accidentally pull the trigger, killing the young woman. Becker couldn't let that happen, couldn't afford to lose another innocent life, especially not Emily, another friend!

"Lower your weapon slowly and get down on the ground, now." He had to try and threaten this man, pretend he had the upper hand, but seconds after that he let his fear for Emily show a little. "NOW!", Becker screamed at Ethan, mentally begging, that he would do as he said. He didn't. There was no other option at that moment. He had to lower his own weapon, hoping that would be enough to keep Emily alive. Ethan was crazy enough to kill her and risk being caught again. "Okay. Just don't harm her, okay?" As he held up his hand in a gesture of defeat he had no idea what the other man would do next. Part of him expected Ethan to kill him. The other part hoped he would make a run for it and leave Emily with him, in safety.

"I won't", was all Ethan said, before he raised his gun and shot Becker. Pain erupted in his right shoulder, making him lose balance and falling to the floor. He was disoriented for a moment, caught in a world of pain, still he never made a single sound. Instinctively he raised his hand to his injured shoulder, putting pressure onto the wound. He lay on the ground helpless, Ethan would be able to go and just leave him there, injured, but he didn't. Becker thought he heard Emily whimper. Why did she whimper? Has Ethan hurt her? Then all there was, was blackness.

Jessica Parker had to witness everything over the cameras. She was frozen on the spot, shocked by what she saw. Ethan shot Becker! But instead of leaving the injured men, he shot him again, clearly aiming for his heart this time! And Becker just lay there, on the ground in corridor 5, motionless; as if he was dead… maybe he was dead. The young field coordinator couldn't think properly.

"M…medical team to corridor… corridor 5, immediately.", she stuttered, eyes still on the unmoving figure of Captain Becker and the dark red fluid that pooled on the floor underneath him. She failed to notice Lester coming towards her, looking over her shoulder at the monitor, which showed Becker and someone running towards him, checking his vitals. As he recognized Becker, he gently placed a hand on Jess' shoulder and repeated her request.

"Medical Team to corridor 5 immediately."

...*-*...

The man Jessica saw running towards Becker was no other, then Matt Anderson. One of the soldiers told him of Ethans escape. Instead of taking a car and following him, he decided to get Danny to help him. This was his brother after all. When he turned around the corner he saw a motionless figure on the ground, EMD still in his hand, but there was no way for him to see who it was just yet. Still, he ran towards the fallen man, wanting to help as much as he could. He expected it to be just one of the soldiers, but as he saw who it was, panic rose in him. Becker had become a trusted and valued friend to the man from the future. He couldn't be dead! Matt checked his pulse. Thankfully he found it easily. It was growing weaker, but it was still there. Then he looked at Beckers injuries.

"Becker, don't you dare to give up on me now. Help is on the way, just hold on a little longer." This Ethan clearly was a sadistic creature. He shot Becker and left him to slowly bleed to death, assumed Matt. Every passing second he begged for help to appear, as he tried to put pressure on Beckers shoulders to stop the bleeding somehow. He failed, of course.

"Come on." With a bloodied hand, he tapped his earpiece. "Jess, I really need a medical team in corridor 5. Becker's losing too much blood." He received no answer. Instead he pressed two of his fingers to Beckers neck once more, checking again for his pulse. Nothing.

"No. You don't die now, Becker.", Matt screamed as he started CPR on his friend, desperate to get it beating again. He didn't hear the footsteps in the distance, hurrying towards him and Becker.
