Home Sweet Home
This story is a continuation of one of my previous stories Cretaceous Living and will see Abby and Connor getting used to being back home with their son as well as rejoining the ARC and all the craziness that entails.
Chapter 1
Blinking Abby and Connor steps through the anomaly and find themselves in the centre of London, surrounded by Cars and Roads and High rises. Walking forward together they take it all in and when they turn to look at each other they smile the biggest smiles to ever grace their faces apart from when their son Nicholas was born.
"We did it" said an ecstatic Connor.
"I know"
Then the two of them both laugh out loud and hug each other to the point where they almost crush Nicky who starts to cry.
"Oh sorry, little man, listen, we're home now, we're back where we belong"
"You know Connor, I think he looks like you" comments Becker.
"Yeah but he has Abby's eyes and nose"
Meanwhile at the ARC a woman runs into Lester's office looking all excited.
"What is it Jess?"
"He did it, he finally did it"
"Who did what?"
"Becker, he finally found them, Abby and Connor came through the anomaly, they're back, they made it" she replies before running back out of the office causing Lester to stand up and say "What about Danny?"
Back at the anomaly site a Black SUV parks up next to Becker's vehicle, a man comes out of it and strides up the newly reunited friends.
"Oh guys, this is our new Team Leader Matt Anderson, Matt, allow me to introduce two very good friends of mine ..."
"Connor Temple and Abby Maitland"
"Heard of us then"
"You could say that. Oi you over there why haven't you closed the ..."
Before Matt could finish his sentence Kim comes flying through the anomaly closely followed by Bart.
"We have a creature incursion, so close that thing now" ordered Matt as he made his way back to his car.
Connor followed him and told him "By the way the Pteranodon is called Kim and the Spinosaurus is called Bart who you can do whatever you want with, just don't hurt Kim, he wouldn't hurt a fly, trust me"
"Okay, thanks"
Matt and Becker then drive away in Matt's car with another one full of soldiers close on his tail asking Jess to find him a large open arena in which he can capture the Spinosaurus.
"Do you think he knows what he's doing?"
"Okay"
"Back to the ARC then"
"I have a better idea"
Connor then whispers in Abby's ear his plan about stealing a car and following Matt to make sure he nor anyone else hurts Kim. She agrees to his plan and then they steal the third and final car which belongs to one of the two guards left to monitor the anomaly. With Abby in the driving seat and Connor in the passenger, holding their son they drive off to follow them.
At the ARC Lester is alerted by the flashing lights so he exits his office and walks to Jess's desk and asks "What's up?"
"Creature incursion"
"Trust Connor to bring a pet back with him, but they're okay though, him and Abby I mean"
"Yeah, for now"
"Good, I want them back here in one piece, speaking of which, shouldn't they be back here by now?"
"They stole a car"
"Of course they did, let me speak to them"
"Fine, one second"
In the car Abby and Connor are startled when a woman's voice (Jess) comes over the intercom ad says "Hi, Abby, Connor, I'm Jess, the ARC's new Field Coordinator and I've got someone here who wants to speak with you"
"Right you two idiots, what do you think you're up to?"
"Lester! Nice to see you again, well not see perhaps, hear, that's what I meant"
"Connor?"
"Yeah"
"Shut up"
"Just like old times"
"But seriously, what do you think you're up to?"
"Listen Lester, one of those two creatures is our friend and while we can, we are not going to let him get hurt, you got that" exclaims Abby.
"That's what I thought you'd say"
"Listen, Jess, wasn't it, I have no idea where we're going"
"You're going to the arena"
"Right, which arena, where is this arena?"
"Continue for 270 yards and take the second right" answers Jess.
"Take the second right"
"I heard her Connor"
"Abby, Connor, I want you both back here in one piece, so try not to get into too much trouble"
"Please, what do you take us for"
Then the intercom conversation ends but before it does Jess and Lester here Nicholas cry and the ARC leader asks Jess "Was that a baby?"
