Missing In Action
Chapter 1
he walked in to see the new field operator e-mailing off the sheet. The sheet had her picture and name on. He still couldn't believe what had happened, that they weren't allowed to go after her.
Jess Parker was missing at just 19 years old. Gone through an anomaly to save Connors life when Burton had insisted she go in field.
"Hey Becker, how are you?"Abby called. Noticing his glum look she said "She'll find a way to get home, like Connor and I did." she smiled knowing how he felt about Jess.
"She doesn't have military training or experience in the field like you and Connor!" Becker replied almost shouting which was rare for him.
Abby sighed, he'd been in his bad mood since Jess had disappeared. "She'll find a way back somehow, she's smart and knows what she's doing." Abby called back knowing he wouldn't be listening anyway. Little did she know he hoped Jess would find a way home, not just back to this time but to where she belonged, with him.
Abby began towards the menagerie when the ADD burst into life, emitting red lights and a wavy noise.
The entire team made their way to the hub and grabbed their black boxes before sprinting to the parking lot only pausing at the armory to grab EMDs.
"what we got Holly?"Matt asked over comms.
"um, give me a minute... small town called Hanchesten, ten miles from here. Sending coordinates to you now." she replied smiling, glad she had worked out how to operate the hub.
They piled into the cars and went to the anomaly site.
"no sign of an incursion." holly said over the comms.
"Always good!" Abby replied almost before she finished her sentence.
They went into the building, an old theatre by the looks and designs of it. Just as they put the gear down a roar echoed through the main room. They all tensed, the creature's footsteps continued to echo making it sound scarier than it really was.
"So much for no incursion! Was kinda hoping we would come, lock the anomaly and leave when you said no incursion." Becker stated in a frustrated tone.
"Well sorry Becker, this is my first day working the hub and I'm not Jess. I know you all miss her loads but get over it she went through an anomaly and is probably dead so don't take it out on me! I'm not the one who went through an anomaly for god knows what reason when she definitely knew no one would go after her. Got It?"Holly screamed back making everyone gob smacked and silent in both the ARC and the anomaly site.
Becker only scowled. The others did their best to suppress their smiles and giggles, but failed which only made Beckers temper worse.
"You know what? Stuff this!" Becker says and he removes his ear piece and black box before dropping them to the ground. With that he skulks off with only his EMD in his hand to find the creature which was still making echoing sounds.
The team stay frozen and gob smacked by his outburst, only just realizing what had happened when a tiny creature crawled through the anomaly. It was quickly dealt with by Matt.
"Well, get on with locking the anomaly and I'll have a word with Becker when you lot get back. Come on chop chop, we haven't got all day some of us are getting older you know.
They just lock the anomaly when they hear a very loud roar and an EMD being fired 4 times. They exchange glances then run to find the source.
They find a very bemused looking Becker with his feet up and EMD slung over his shoulder staring at an unconscious pre-historic dinosaur.
A.N. while writing this out on computer the only word that sprung to mind about Becker was rebel! seeing as few people like reviewing i only demand one review per chapter, more would be appreciated though. just a random fact but outside we have a chicken on the loose and she's been giving me rather funny looks! hope you enjoy
