Hey, so this is the first chapter of my first story, it's quite short and is really just setting the chapter up, I love to know what you think as I am not too sure on the whole story, so please review, even if it just small! So enjoy...

Chapter One

Jess landed at Heathrow airport, she had just come back from a three week holiday in Greece, she needed a holiday after everything that had been going on at the ARC recently, her parents owned a holiday home in Greece, so it was the perfect opportunity to relax, she had never been to Greece before and she had loved every minute of it, but now she was back she was looking forward to getting back to work. Wow when I become such a workaholic, probably when you started helping people who were chasing after dinosaurs, to return them safely through rifts in time. Jess waited for her suitcase to appear at baggage claim. Abby and Connor were picking her up from the airport, after they had both insisted that she would not waste money on a taxi when they could easily pick her up, it was nice to have friends that would do things like that for her, even if they were small.

She had become a lot closer to the Arc crew since Matt had succeeded in is mission, and had told them what we was sent to achieve. Abby, Connor and her were also becoming a lot closer and if she was honest they were probably her best friends, after Emily came back through an anomaly, much to Matt's happiness, everything fell into place, she had never seen Matt so happy, Abby and Connor were their useful jokey selves, and Becker was smiling a lot more. Emily had joined the team after deciding to stay in the 21st century, and her and Matt were now together and happy, Jess smiled at the thought, she spotted her luggage and grabbed it and began to walk through customs, she wouldn't be surprised if Matt proposed soon. Jess's love life had been non- existent, until a couple of weeks ago, she was trying hard to get over 'crush' for Becker, it had been hard, but she could now proudly say that she was beginning to get over Becker and he was instead becoming one of her best friends, that she could trust, which was better than him being her boyfriend of whom she might break up from.

Jess walked through arrivals, looking for Connor and Abby, she couldn't wait to see them again, she looked around but she couldn't see them anywhere, she took out her phone and was about to see if they had text her, telling her that they would be late. She checked her phone, no texts, maybe there had been anomaly alert or maybe they had forgotten about- "Jess," Becker called, Becker called? What was Becker doing here? Jess spun around, facing Becker, she jogged up to him and slipped through the railings, they began walking to the car. "What are you doing here?" Jess asked, "Not that I'm not happy to see you, it's just I thought Connor and Abby were picking me up, I mean I am glad you came, it sounds like I'm ungrateful, but I'm not I was just wondering-" Jess rambled, but Becker interrupted her.

"Connor was on the verge of making his latest discovery and Abby didn't have her car, because Connor took her to work and she hasn't got insurance on that car yet," Becker explained, Jess smiled, although she wasn't quite sure why Abby couldn't have taken one of the Arc cars as she was insured on them, but she wasn't complaining, she was happy to see Becker, (in normal clothes no less and without a gun, it wasn't often Jess got to see that.) Just because she is trying to get over him, doesn't mean she didn't deserve a treat every once in a while.

"Thank you," Jess said.

"No problem, can I take your bag?" Becker offered, Jess smiled and handed it over, it wasn't heavy, but she knew that he liked to be useful. Jess suddenly threw herself at Becker and hugged him.

"I missed you," Jess murmured into his chest.

"I missed you too," Becker said, returning the hug. "Lester has been filling in as field coordinator, and well it hasn't been going well," Becker said. Jess laughed, "So how was your holiday?" Becker asked, Jess deserved a break, after everything that had happened, he was glad she had somewhere to go and relax.

"It was great the sun, the sea, the sand, the beaches, oh and the food and the people!" Jess said happily, Becker smiled at how happy she was.

"I missed all of you though, I think I have become and official workaholic, I can't wait to get back to work," Jess said. Becker smiled, they soon slipped into an easy conversation walking back to the car, they got in and started heading back to Jess's.

"How is Emily fitting in?" Jess asked.

"She's doing great, she's a natural, it must have been all those years travelling and Matt's so much happier now that she is around," Becker said, Jess smiled happy that Emily was settling in.

Becker called Matt using his Bluetooth, Matt's voice came from the speaker, "Becker there is an anomaly at the forest of Dean, you need to get there ASAP, there has been an excursion, is Jess with you?" Matt asked.

"Yes she's here-" Becker started.

"Hi Matt," Jess said happily.

"Hi Jess, how was your-"Matt started, but Becker interrupted.

"You were saying Matt," Becker said, laughing at how Matt got distracted, it was nice to see him relaxed.

"Jess you're gonna have to come," Matt said, "we need Becker, Lester can carry on filling in for you," Matt said.

"Can't I just drop her off, it's not safe for her," Becker said.

"We don't have time you need to come here now," Matt said. "Jess will be fine, she can stay in the car," Matt said.

"But-" Becker said.

"No buts-" Matt said, Becker turned and started driving towards the forest of Dean.

"Ok Matt, I'll be there," Becker said and hung up, the care free face Becker had when he picked her up was gone and he now looked extremely stressed.

"Becker, I will be fine, you taught me how to use the EMD's" Jess said attempting to reassure him, Becker nodded but clearly wasn't convinced; he had a bad feeling about this. Jess should be safe in the Arc, not in danger of being killed by a dinosaur; he wouldn't let it happen, not to another person, especially not Jess the girl he loved, loved? Did he really love Jess?
