Hey! Welcome to my follow-up FanFiction. It's a new story, but there are just a couple of details, anyone might be missing. For example, my cute fluffy bunny that sneezes blue goo on people. Also, Connor and Abby are engaged. This story is about a month after what happened before, so Abby's back to her normal self. More or less. Anyway, shall we continue…Hope you enjoy! Oh and thanks to Cooper101 for helping me name my rabbit!
It was another bright, sunny, hot day. The heat wave that had started last week had already doubled in temperature, and Captain Becker, walked around his single-bedroom house with nothing but a pair of shorts on. On his clearly visible chest, several beads of sweat dripped slowly across his perfectly formed torso. He grabbed a towel from the kitchen sink and wiped his face vigorously with it. But it was still covered in sweat. He moped around the small empty kitchen for half-an-hour, before putting his black trousers and T-shirt on, and going to work.
He got into his black Mercedes and drove slowly to the ARC. While he was driving, he had the air conditioner on full, to dry his sweat-soaked hair. However, the air-con had very little effect. He ran his fingers through his greasy fringe, to stop it from obscuring his vision.
At Abby's place, she and Connor were lying on the floor, either side of Abby's bed. She was wearing a pair of small, denim shorts that were frayed all the way around the bottom, and a blue shirt that was tied up just below her chest. It had no arms, just two small straps that joined at the back of Abby's neck. Connor was still wearing the same underpants that he was wearing last night. They were both completely crashed out from the unbearable heat. Neither of them could gather any strength to go to work. It wasn't until a very exasperated Jess rang them, and urged them to get there before Lester found out, as he was already in a bad mood from the heat.
At the ARC, the air-con had been kicked up all the way, but still everybody was sweating as if there was no tomorrow. Even the animals were feeling the heat. In the menagerie, Abby's chocolate-coloured, fluffy, flying rabbit was lying helplessly on the table, breathing heavily. It's tongue was hanging lazily out of it's mouth. Beside it lay the similarly lifeless body of Rex, Abby's other 'anomaly-pet'.
The humans inside the building weren't very motivated either. Jess sat in her computer chair, vegetating. She absentmindedly typed random keys on the keyboard. She only stopped when she nearly sent a virus out to the other ARC computers. She carefully got up and walked over to the drinks machine to get a coke and a caffeine boost.
Suddenly, the red lights flashed along all the walls, turning them to blood, and the siren began to wail frantically. Abby, Connor, Becker and Matt assembled in the main room to find an empty chair where Jess should be.
"Jess, where are you? The siren's going and you're not here…" Becker told his earpiece.
Jess hurriedly slurped the last mouthful of her diet coke and joined the others in the main room. Her face was a flushed red. She stumbled over to her chair and sat down carelessly on a pen she had left lying around. She jumped up again immediately.
"Ow!" She squealed.
She met Becker's odd glance, before turning to look at the floor. Becker chuckled to himself quietly. Meanwhile, Connor had positioned himself at the desk to identify where the anomaly was.
"Looks like it's about 5 miles North of London." Connor told them. "We should set off now to prevent any chance of an incursion."
"We should be so lucky!" Abby scoffed.
She wiped away the sweat from her forehead, before seizing Connor's hand and walking off to the vehicle bays.
