This is my first fanfic that I've ever posted and it's one that I've been repeating in my head over and over again, so I figured, what the hell I'll start writing it up. It's a short chapter, but it may give you guys an idea of what's to come.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the character's in Primeval. Although, I do own Alina Thompson.

Chapter 1

"Lester!" An angry voice boomed, as an unfamiliar figure threw open the double doors leading into the main floor of the ARC. "I need to talk to Lester right now!"

"Ah, here's our new recruit now, and she's late." Lester casually said before letting the woman finish. "Everyone meet Alina Thompson, she'll be working alongside you all until a more permanent replacement comes along." Seeing the way she was coming towards him, he sighed to himself, "if she lasts that long."

Alina approached Lester with fury in her eyes, she reached out and grabbed him by his tie and pulled him towards her. "What the hell were you thinking…?" She began, before realizing she could hear guns cock as several ARC soldiers surrounded them.

"Now," Lester said, in a low but angry voice, "if I were you Mrs. Thompson, I'd let me go and we can talk about this issue like civilized people. Or perhaps you would like my men to shoot you where you stand."

She let him go with a forceful push, causing him to stumble into one of the desks behind him. He stood, then straightened his tie before escorting Alina to his office.

Alina followed behind Lester, still fuming, as the entire team, with the exception of Danny, looked at one another. The first to speak up was Abby.

"What the hell was that all about, Danny, and why are you covered in blood?" She looked over to him as she asked this last question. This seemed to be the question they all had on their minds when the new recruit had come in with Danny behind her; both of them covered in blood.

Danny didn't seem to move nor did he respond, he just sat on the edge of a desk looking dazed. Abby watched him for a few moments before approaching him and placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Did you even hear me?" She asked, as he jumped at the sound of her voice. Abby's face showed growing concern and a sickening thought came over her. "Danny what's going on? What happened out there when you went to pick up the new girl?"

He looked up at her, still unsure of what or even how to tell her; knowing that she may crumble right before him.

Simultaneously they both looked to Lester's office, things had gotten a little more heated in there, they could hear the muffled yelling from where they stood.

Danny got up from where he was perched, heading towards the ramp. Abby caught up to him, grabbing him by his wrist, "Danny, what the hell is going on? You're our leader, you're not supposed to keep things from us."

He stopped, a pained look on his face, he glanced towards the office, back to Abby, and sighed. All he said was, "right now I need to figure out what's going on myself, before I bring the lot of you in on it, yeah?" Then, removing her hand from his wrist, he started up the ramp, slowly making his way to his destination.

The next chapter will hopefully be up soon. Please take the time to review my first chapter, whether you enjoyed it or downright found it god awful. Thanks! :D
