It had been a quiet week at the ARC, quiet month in fact. The amount of anomalies had halved in the last month and then halved again in the last week. Mostly everyone was glad for the break, especially Jess,it's meant that she has been able to catch
up on paperwork and more importantly sleep. She has managed to get 6hrs sleep every night for five days in a row, rather than surviving on her usual 3hrs sleep and lots of expresso shots.
Not everyone was happy about the amount of down time though. Becker had been pacing for hours behind her desk waiting for anomaly alerts until one day Jess had had enough. "Will you just go and find something to do! Please! Anything, go reorganise your
guns or do some extra training,do anything. Or even better actually take a day off. When was your last day off?"
"I don't know, maybe six months ago" Becker snapped back.
"That doesn't count, Leicester forced you to go home because you spent all morning being violently sickthe toilet and even then you were calling me every hour to make sure we didn't burn the place down while you were gone." Jess huffed back.
"How did you know about me being sick?" Becker asked suspiciously.
"There are camera's in the bathroom" she said back.
"Is that even legal?" Becker said in a mocking tone.
"I'm not sure any of what we do is officially legal. Look just go home, the worlds not going to implode if you take a day off." As soon as she said that the anomaly alert sounded and everyone came running over.
