A/N: I know I've been away for a bit, college has been keeping me busy, but once again I'm back into writing mode. Thanks to everyone who is still following this series and reviewing, I really appreciate hearing what you think.
Please R&R, I always value your opinions.

A man jogged through Hastings Mill Park, as he passed a cluster of trees, he heard a low growl from under an overgrown area. The man stopped and turned towards the trees. Slowly he stepped towards the location of the sound. A second growl was heard. He stepped forward. "Hello?" he asked. He knelt next to a hedge. Suddenly, a huge creature with sabre-like teeth pounced out of the shadows, and with one swift movement it lunged for the man's neck, slicing his wind pipe. The second that the man stopped moving, the creature dragged its kill back into the shadows.
"So this is Vancouver" Thomas said looking around.
"Oh yes" Max smiled proudly, as a silver mini-bus arrived.
"Chilly though" Nick complained.
"It's not that bad" Sarah smiled, discreetly giving Nicks hand a squeeze.
"Hello Miss Miller" Leeds smiled stepping out of the mini-bus.
"Captain" Michelle replied, shaking Leeds hand.
"Miss Becker, Master Anderson, Master Cross" Leeds nodded, before turning to Nick with a puzzled face, "Master Temple, why are you here?"
"I fancied a holiday" Nick joked.
"Does Mr Lester know you're here?" Leeds asked sounding panicked.
"He's joking, he's back on the team" Sarah replied.
"Oh, a joke, I see" Leeds nodded, "Let's get you to the apartment.
"Good" Michelle acknowledged as Nick and Max started loading their bags into the Mini-bus.
"How's Mum and Dad?"" Max replied as he got into the Mini-bus.
"Your father's fine, I haven't seen your mother for a while" Leeds replied, "She's trying to find the creature."
"Right, let's get going" Michelle instructed as she and Thomas sat down.
"Miller, I'm team leader" Nick argued.
"Nick" Sarah hissed.
"Fair enough, give the command" Michelle sighed.
"Right…I suppose we should get going" Nick ordered. Thomas, Max and Sarah all burst out laughing, Michelle trying her best to hide a grin.
"Yes, of course" Leeds replied, as the Mini-bus set off.
"This apartment is fantastic!" Sarah beamed as she sat down on the sofa next to Nick.
"Yeah, it's great" Nick said as he put his arm around Sarah. Just then the phone rang.
"You get it" Sarah sighed.
"Fine" Nick sighed as he answered the phone, "Hello?"
"Nick? It's Evan, can you five get over to VARC now, we need you to take a look at something" Evan replied over the phone.
"On our way" Nick nodded.
The team were stood in the VARC's hub, with Evan Cross and Toby Nance; they were watching a screen full of images taken from possible incursion sites, the images ranged from victims to structural damage.
"What could have done that?" Michelle asked.
"That's it we don't know, Dylan thinks that it's some sort of big cat" Evan replied.
"Yeah, I can see why, its staying in areas with a lot of shade" Max replied, "perfect for hiding in."
"Do we have an era for it?" Thomas asked.
"We think. The two anomalies that it could have come through, last week, led to the Pliocene and the Ice age" Toby replied.
"That narrows it down" Sarah sighed.
"Big cat- Pliocene and Ice age" Nick said, trying to work it out, "Smilodon or Cave Lion."
"You worked that out just by knowing its behaviour and two possible time periods?" Toby asked, completely astonished.
"Your definitely Connors son" Evan laughed, as his phone buzzed, "Its Dylan."
"Evan, I've sent you a photo, I think I've found it" Dylan replied quickly before the line went dead.
"Nick, do you recognise that?" Evan asked, showing Nick the photo.
"Smilodon" Nick and Max both replied.
"Right tell Dylan we'll be there shortly, get Captain Leeds to meet us there" Evan instructed as he grabbed his black VARC jacket and black box, before he and the team headed out of the hub.
"Dylan, Evan's on his way" Toby repeated, "And he's bringing backup."
"Good, I think I know where it's going" Dylan replied.
"Times like this I really miss Mac" Toby sighed, tears in her eyes, "Well…miss him more."
I hope this chapter is alright, New World isn't really my speciality, but I though it would be nice to see how the VARC were doing.
Please review, I would appreciate your ideas on where this episode should go next.
