A.N.: I really wanted really to write and post this story before the new season of primeval began. This is my first story ever posted just to be warned. Even if the plot belongs to me, characters and some ideas do not and I do not claim any ownership over them. I appreciate reviews; reviews help strengthen writers' abilities.

Beginning where Season 3, sort of, left off with Abby, Connor, and Danny on the other side of the anomaly.

Chapter 1:

Sun and sand, two things that usually sounded lovely together in a modern human's mind were, in reality, a barren wasteland. Abby, Connor and Danny walked through the desolated desert together while the blazing late afternoon sun beat down upon them.

"So Connor, is that thing working yet?" Danny questioned with a quick smack from Abby, "Danny!" Connor sighed; he was currently trying to work while slowly limping with the broken leg in a splint.
"As I said five minutes ago and I'll say it again, I'm tryin' to work on it," Connor explained.
"We know you're trying Connor, we're all just anxious to get back home," Abby replied, trying to defuse the tense situation.
"And you don't think I'm anxious too, Abs? I miss Rex, I miss Sid and Nancy. Most of all, I miss a bed not made of twigs and hay," Connor remarked.
"I know you do, Connor. You know we trust you and your abilities. It's just…what if we get stuck here?"
"Then I'll make sure you're okay, we'll all be okay," Connor replied to her with a look of true determination.
"Hate to break up this moment, but should the device be blinkin' like that, Connor?" Danny asked.
"Yes, yes! Guys, I think our luck is finally changing!" Connor exclaimed as he could practically jump for joy because the blinking meant they now had the ability to open an anomaly, hopefully one that would lead home.

"Connor, you are absolutely sure about this?" Danny questioned again as they sat against some rocks for shelter.
"For the last time, as sure as I can be, Danny!" Connor snapped back as he programmed the device. Abby tried patting his shoulders but he just shrugged her off.
"And I think that should do it," Connor said cheerily, wearing his signature grin to the group, even if his eyes didn't match. Connor quickly set the device and held his thumb over the last button,
"Here we go," he stated as an anomaly appeared. The trio began towards the anomaly as quickly as Connor could possibly limp. "Come on, Connor!" Danny shouted as he gained the distance toward the anomaly with Abby, but farther from Connor.
"Connor?" Abby questioned as she glanced back. "Go on, Abs. It won't close without me," he assured as he rushed to catch up with them.
Danny urged Abby through as Connor closed the gap into the anomaly.

Upon the other side and strangely enough, the group was greeted by Sarah and Becker, sort of.
"Dear god, it's you!" Sarah rejoiced as she rushed over towards them with contagious excitement while Becker quickly ordered his men to lower their weapons, directing one to call Lester immediately.
"How did you know where the anomaly was?" Abby questioned, smiling so hard she swore it would become permanent.
"Oh, the anomaly detector Connor built, told us right away. I've sort of, well had to take over all the technical tasks while you guys were away," Sarah explained.
"Is Helen…?" "We will never hear from her again," Danny assured Sarah and everyone else.

After the greeting and reunion Sarah glanced around with a concerned expression.
"Where is…Connor?" she asked as she turned towards the pair.
Abby's face turned from her permanent smile she had just worn moments ago to complete disarray. "Connor?" she gasped as she ran back towards the anomaly, ignoring the fact it was currently closed. "Abigail, no!" Danny quickly grabbed the petite woman around the waist to stop her. "Open it! We have to go in there to get him! Connor was right behind us!" Abby kept shouting as her friends tried to calm her down.
"Abby, we had it open five minutes after you came through before closing it," Sarah stated while checking the instruments, trying to gain any information.
"Connor should have been right behind you, correct?" Becker asked as his men gathered to go into the anomaly.
"Yes, but," Abby began as she tried to keep her composure, "Connor's leg was broken from falling out of a tree while using the sonic device we had. He kept up for the most part but was limping. He said the anomaly wouldn't close without him…he said," Abby tried to regain her control and finished the sentence but it was in vain.
Sarah sat beside her, trying to comfort her friend while Abby wondered with self loathing. The most hateful thought came because of her negligence; she kept running over how she should have been concerned about Connor instead of indulging in the bliss of being home and welcomed by friends. Worst thought was about her being safe at home while Connor, who had worked so hard to get them all here, was nowhere to be found.

Becker and his armed men returned several moments later after originally departing into the opened anomaly to look for Connor. Sarah still sat with Abby as they waited anxiously for any news. Becker looked grim as he walked over to the two women.
"Well?" Sarah asked for Abby, who was still in her own thoughts. "There appears to be no sign of him. Our men looked everywhere. Is it possibly that we went through another anomaly?" "No, there was only one and Connor programmed it himself," Danny informed him, his confusions matching that of the group.
"Well, if he had the device and still has it, then there is a good chance he can find a way back if he did go through another anomaly," Sarah declared, trying to raise the team members' hope.
Unfortunately, the team continued to stare at the ground. "Sir," one of Becker's men called, directing his attentions away to some monitors.
"If that is true," Abby started to say as she came out of her gaze, "then where in the bloody hell is Connor?" she shouted at the group before succumbing to her own grief and curling back into Sarah's comfort.

There is the first chapter. I learned my lesson from the first story I posted and tried to make this less bulky and drawn out. Hope you enjoyed reading this story and will continue reading.
