Jecker Story – Chapter 1 – Jess' POV
My alarm clock sounded and for a split second I thought it was the anomaly alarms at work, I rolled over in my bed and turned the alarm clock off then I dragged myself out of bed and went into the shower and brushed my teeth, this week it is Connor and Abby's turn to go shopping this week and they better go soon we were nearly out of toothpaste but as per usual they will leave it until we literally have nothing left then I will have to nag at them to go which bored me I felt like their mum sometimes they were supposed to be my roommates and help me with this stuff.
Looking through my wardrobe I couldn't find anything that appealed to me everything looked so old and worn out and I hated wearing the same outfit twice a month because it just made me look lazy and made it look like I couldn't be bothered to chose anything new. I pulled out a couple things and decided to go with my pale pink and white dress, it was white on the top and the skirt was pale pink the shoes were pale pink heels and I wore it with a pink blazer as it was a little cold outside and a black handbag, I decided to put my hair up in a doughnut and put on light make up as I was only wearing light colours it would look silly to have lots on.
I got into work everyone went to the break room to make themselves a cup of coffee but I knew I wouldn't have time I went to Lester's office and picked up a stack of paperwork which had my name on it, it was to do with a new ADD security system that me and Connor had to go through and Lester wanted it all read and gone through by lunchtime which was when he was going to be in... it's alright for some people to not have to come in till lunchtime whilst some of us had to be in for 7am, I took the paper work to my desk and dropped it next to the ADD monitor.
I was halfway through my paper work when the anomaly alarms went off I soon located it to an Ann Summer's store on the High Street I managed to set off their fire alarms and deployed the time "The anomaly is at the Ann Summer's store on Hashe High Street, I've cleared the building and surrounding buildings and put it to a gas leak the estimated time to get there is 5 minutes I've already hacked into the CCTV and there is not an incursion that I can see but I will keep an eye on and if I see anything I'll let you know, the co-ordinates are set into your Sat Nav's" I stated over the comm. system.
I watched as the team went into the building and did an initial sweep "Jess have you go visual of the basement?" Becker asked over comms.
"No you're on your own down there I'm afraid I have got first aid and back up waiting to go if they are needed, let me know if there is an incursion down there and I can let everyone else know" I stated and heard him say he understood and will contact me once he knew what the situation was.
The alarms started going off again "There's another anomaly, it's at a private residence I need a team there now, Becker I'm sending the backup team to that anomaly with Kellen in charge, Kellen the co-ordinates have been put into your Sat Nav and you have an estimated time of 15 minutes to get there is medical on standby if they are needed, let me know when you get to the location and the let me know the situation you will be known as B team and Becker you are A team" I stated as Lester came into ops room and stood behind me "We have two anomalies, Becker is A team and Kellen is B team. A team ar store in the high street I've closed it off for a mile and said there was a gas leak and the second anomaly is at a private residence I have no visual on anything there but Kellen is going to update me when he gets there to let me know the situation, there is a medical team on standby in case they are needed and we now only have three troops here guarding the ARC so you need to call a couple of people in, there's only one man on the gate and I need you to keep an eye on him to make sure he's OK on his own" I stated to Lester who just sort of nodded and went to his office.
This was turning into a really crazy day and I hoped and prayed to God that having two anomalies isn't the start of another convergence scenario because I don't think I could go through all of that again without getting a grey hair or having a heart attack "A team what is your status?" I asked over comms.
"The anomaly is locked no sign of an incursion at all so I'm leaving two men here with Connor to wait for it to close the rest of the soldiers are coming back to the ARC, me, Abby, Matt and Emily are going to the second anomaly" Becker said over comms, well at least we didn't have an incursion as well that would of been bad.
"We have an incursion here, they are like little beast things but they can camouflage themselves, we can't see them and we have a man down we need some serious back up here" Kellen said over comms, I told Lester the situation and he deployed the soldiers that had come back from the first anomaly down to the second one and with Becker and everyone on the way it should hopefully be sorted out soon "We have three dead civilians, two adults one junior" Kellen stated.
Becker's POV
I arrived on scene at the second anomaly and entered the house to see my men running around the house trying to shot the camouflage beasts and I pulled Abby out the way as I seen one flying towards her with its claws out, she thanked me and I aimed my EMD around but everything just seemed to stop "We knew where they were before because we could hear them but they've gone silent" Kellen said as he stood next to me "Do you want the anomaly locked sir? If we lock it they might not have time to unlock it to get them back through and if we don't lock it we risk more coming through... it's your call sir" Kellen stated looking at me waiting for orders.
"Lock it" I said and looked around the room I was in carefully looking for any sign of movement and listening out for them "Abby you have dealt with these before, how do we lure them out?" I asked her.
"Raw meat they are like scavengers, cover me into the kitchen and we'll look in the freezer" we started walking towards the kitchen and as soon as we entered the kitchen there was screeching and EMD blasts, Abby ran to the fridge door and got out some chicken wrapped in a packet she took it out of the packet and put it on the ground "Go back into the living room they might not come in here if we're here" she said and we walked back to the living room where everything had stopped again.
I listened hard and heard noise coming from the kitchen so me and three others made our way towards the kitchen again were we seen three camouflage beasts eating the chicken that was on the floor we all shoot at once and knocked them out, we carried them up the stairs and into the bathroom where the anomaly was and threw them back through.
I had to go and look at the bodies and seen them all still in their beds, they were killed whilst they slept I had to take pictures for evidence and it was hard photographing the little boys body torn up the way it was, he would of died before he even knew what was happening to him there were blood everywhere and bite marks like on his parents who were also still in bed they wasn't torn up as bad though and they had no bite marks on them which didn't make sense because they were closer to the bathroom then what the little boy was so why didn't they eat the parents?
"Do we know who they are?" I asked Matt, he and Emily had been evacuating and questioning the neighbours.
"The parents were Suzie and Michael Hart and the little boy was called Owen, he was 7 years old. They were asking what was going on, do we have an official story yet?" he asked.
"How about, last night they forgot to close the back door properly and a couple of foxes got in and killed them, we can't tell them it was a gas leak we've used that one today already people will get suspicious... animal attack is the only other one I can think of that people won't ask to many questions about" I told him and he nodded in agreement.
