Okay, so this is from the readers POV, I know other people have done this, but I've gotten bored with writing the whole Becker/ Jess, Jecker stuff. (Just wanna say, I'm not copying anyone here, not with storylines or anything! If anyone has a problem, just PM me!) ;D. Ooh, and when there's e.g., Miss X, It means you. Anyway, I'll stop boring you, here's chapter one!
You march down the dark hallways of the ARC, ready for another day at work. Your pink high heels click loudly on the floor; you're greeted by a very impatient Lester, who wastes no time in immediately filling you in on the latest news. "Right, Miss X, I'm guessing you want the paperwork from the recent anomaly" He says, a serious look plastered across his face, you nod eagerly, "Yes, I was hoping…. "Your sentence is cut off by the ADD, as it suddenly bursts into life, making you jump. Lester raises an eyebrow at you, hinting that you should already be running towards the ADD, You sigh, whilst wondering how fast you can run in high heels. You're out of breath by the time you skid to a halt in front of the screens. "Jess, Where is it?" An Irish accent enquires. Jess raises her head, "It's…..It's in the ARC, Matt, it's in the ARC". A cold harsh shiver runs down your spine as the team jumps into action, an EMD gets shoved into your hands by a tall man in clad black, his dark brown hair combed back, "Keep close" he informs, you nod.
"Creature incursion!" Jess shouts, "Future predators! Be careful" Becker says, "What's a future predator?" Becker looks down at you, "You don't want to know" He says, you shrug, guessing you'll find out soon enough.
10 minutes later…..
You sit, crouching behind Lester's desk, Becker next to you, his shoulder resting against yours. "How long have we been here?" You whisper, Becker glances down at you, his hair messy, drooping over his face, "I don't know, but I think we should get moving soon" He replies, again, in a low whisper. You shiver, there's at least 10 future predators making their way around the ARC, you shudder at the thought of how many people have been killed. Your shuddering makes Becker suddenly wrap one arm around you. You don't complain.
You suddenly sit yourself up, "look, I'm not sitting here and letting the others die, we've got to help them" You snap, your words pouring out a little louder than expected, Becker nods in approval, he passes you your EMD, you smile, taking it, and bravely striding out of the door.
Your eyes are met by a sight of absolute chaos, which involves ARC soldiers shooting madly at brown, creatures which you can barely see as they streak across walls faster than light. Becker bursts through the door behind you, "OVER THERE!" He shouts, you aim your EMD, and fire.
Less than 5 minutes later and you and Becker have made your way half way across the ARC, you've managed to kill at least 4 predators and have somehow kept alive and unhurt. You sneak into the main hub of the ARC, and find Jess and Matt pointing EMD's in your face, "Don't shoot!" Becker snaps, the EMD's are lowered, allowing you and Becker to walk further into the room. Matt turns to you, "What's the situation?" he asks, you sigh, "Not having much luck, we've managed to kill about 4 creatures, but there are just so many of them! I take it you're not having much luck down here then?" Matt shakes his head, "No, the anomaly's closed, Jess is injured, and there's no sign of the others" You nod, taking in the bad news, your mind already fearing the worst. You fight off tears as you spot Jess yelping in pain; her bright orange shirt now stained blood red. "Jess!" You cry as you run to her, throwing an arm around her and helping her to her seat, "They . . . They were so quick…" She sighs, allowing a few tears to well up in her eyes. You kneel down in front of her, "Jess, listen to me, it's going to be ok. We'll get through this" You attempt to reassure her, before standing and raising your EMD. "Well, now the anomaly has closed, at least we won't have even more coming through" Matt squeaks, Becker growls, "Yes, but you're forgetting the fact that several of our friends are out there, possibly dead. And god only knows how many innocent soldiers have lost their lives today" He snaps, his voice harsh. Matt glares at him, "And don't you think that I haven't been ….." "Will you two shut up?" You yell, losing your patience, "Now Is not the time to argue!" Becker and Matt nod, like two young boys who have just been told off for being late to school. Before they can reply, Abby, Connor and several other soldiers burst through the doors, their EMD's high. "Abby! Connor!" You shout, a look of relief covers their faces. They walk in, preparing their EMDs.
"Anyone seen Lester?" Abby asks, you shake your head, fearing the worst. You're stood in a circle along with the others; EMD's raised high, ready and prepared. Suddenly, a predator bursts in through the doors, it races towards you, EMD shots whizz towards it, but not affecting it, you watch as the shots bounce of the predator as it rages towards you, but it doesn't get far, it falls, dead before it hits the cold floor. Lester stands behind it, a gun clenched in his hands, a look of determination across his face. You sigh heavily with relief as the creature is only a metre away from your feet. Abby sighs, "That was the last one"
A hand creeps up on your shoulder as you sip your coffee, your head twists over your shoulder to see the owner of the hand, its Becker, "You ok after that?" He asks, you smile, "Yeh, a little shaken, but yeh I'm fine thanks" You reply.
Not long later and you're sipping a warm mug of hot chocolate and tucking into a bucket of popcorn as you watch 'Jurassic park' Before you know it, you've drifted off to sleep, your hair draped across your face, the popcorn slowly pouring out of the tub as your hand weakens. But your relaxing sleep doesn't last long as there's a loud knock at your front door, you jump, and look at the time, "Ten thirty?" You whisper. You open your door, without realising that your hair probably looks like a birds nest, and you don't even want to think about how much your mascara has run.
You open the door to a very cold, and a very wet Becker, "Becker?" You question, He looks down at you, obviously embarrassed, "My cars broke down"
