This is the first fic I've ever shared. I hope after reading this you'll want to read more.
Lost Souls
Danny sat on the edge of Lester's desk staring out through the glass wall down onto his team below. Lester was talking but Danny wasn't really listening to a word the man was saying.
"Mr. Quinn, are you listening to me?"
Danny heard a sigh and bit of irritation coming from Lester so he turned around to face him. He was getting tired of these early morning private meetings. For weeks Lester has been going over the same thing and it was getting a bit tiresome.
"Yes Lester, I got it. I understand the risks. I've understood them from day one. What happened and what could happen isn't in our hands anymore, yet the risks are the same aren't they? If you don't think I can do this job then fire me."
With that Danny got up and walked out of the office half expecting Lester to stop him, but he didn't. Lester watched as he left. He knew the stress everyone was under and he knew that Danny had his hands full and wasn't going to cause more by stopping him.
3 months ago an anomaly opened up behind ARC. The team arrived in time to see a small herbivore coming through. Becker kept aim on it while Abby ran over to the scared creature. Connor got to work on his device to close the anomaly. Right as Connor was about to hit the controls to do the job he heard a cry coming through. He knew this was impossible because you can't hear sounds coming through the anomaly, but he heard it again; it was a child crying he thought. He dropped what he was doing and ran through.
"Connor!"
Danny was close behind the younger man trying to stop him. The anomaly quickly closed after that trapping both men inside.
"Connor what the hell are you doing?"
Connor had a terrified look on his face. "Danny, didn't you hear the child? Someone was crying."
"Connor I don't hear anything." Danny had his gun out and was looking around in disbelief. He couldn't believe what was happening.
"Oh God, where the hell are we?"
