Hello! This is my first Primeval fanfic and I'm pretty excited. This is set around 20 years after series 5. At the moment I've only seen the first two episodes of series 5 so I won't be including much from that at all. Now on with the story!

Hello my name is Hilary Becker 14 year old son to Hilary and Jessica Becker. I never knew my father. He died just before I was born. I haven't been told much about him either. Just that he died in an accident at his workplace and that he was the bravest person there could ever be. Sometimes I'd like to know more. My older sister, Rebecca never helped. She spends loads of her time in her room. This meant I had to find out the information myself and sometimes I get a bit too carried away when trying to find out more. Like on 15th June 2046 the day my life changed from a boring and dull one to an adventurous one! Oh! It was also the day I found out more about my father. The first time my plans to find out more ever worked…

It was 5pm in the morning of 15th June 2046 and Jessica Parker left her house quietly hoping not to wake Hilary or Rebecca. She climbed into the car and shut the door just as her phone went off. She pulled it out of her pocket and opened the text message from Matt. Where are you? It read. She started to write a reply. At that moment, Hilary slipped out of the house. He crouched down and crawled over to Jess' car. He opened the boot and clumsily fell inside, the boot shutting loudly. Hilary closed his eyes tight, hoping Jess wouldn't go to see what the noise was. To Hilary's relief, Jess had been too busy replying to Matt to even hear the loud banging noise. Instead she just started the car engine and started driving the familiar route to the ARC.

Meanwhile, in the boot of the car, Hilary was lying in the dark, unsure of where he was going and starting to regret that he had even had this mad idea. Hilary hated the dark and small spaces and now look at him: squashed into the back of a car boot… in the dark. Of all the mad plans he had had in the past, this one had to be the maddest and stupidest one. However he did know that his mother and father had worked in the same place so surely his mother's workmate's would know lots about his father. This is what gave Hilary hope to continue with his mad idea and sneak around the ARC. The name of the building confused Hilary. He knew the letters stood for something but he couldn't work out what. And if he ever did, he wouldn't know if it was right.

After what felt like a long time to Hilary, the car finally came to a stop. He took a deep breath. He knew that Jess was going to open the boot to take her bag out but she'd also find Hilary. Would she drive him back home or let him stay for the day?

Jess opened the car door and got out. She shut the door and walked round to the boot to grab her bag. When she opened the boot, she stumbled back in surprise when she saw Hilary smiling innocently up at her. Jess pulled Hilary out of the car. "What do you think you're doing?" she asked.

"I want to find out more about dad!" Hilary answered.

"I've told you all you need to know," Jess sighed. "We've already had this conversation."

"I know nothing," Hilary screamed. "What was his job? Even what his favourite colour was. I want to know more. I need to know more."

"Hilary, you're too young," Jess explained softly.

"How can I be too young?" Hilary asked. "It's not like it's life changing!" Jess looked at him and was just about to reply when a man ran out of the ARC.

"There you are Jess," Matt stopped when he saw Hilary. "What's he doing here?"

"Listen Matt, I had no idea he was here," Jess explained. "He hid in the boot."

"Sounds like something his father would have done," Matt laughed. Hilary stepped forward.

"That's why I'm here," Hilary explained. "I want to know more about my father and what his job was and how he died."

"You want to know a lot kid, and I'm not sure you should find out," Matt said slowly with a glance to Jess.

"I deserve to know," Hilary snapped. "He's my father." Matt glanced back to Jess who sighed.

"Fine," Jess gave in. "He's going to find out one day anyway."

"Follow me then Hilary," Matt smiled as he led the way into the building. Hilary followed Matt straight into a lift as Jess followed him. "The ARC stands for Anomaly Research Centre. For about 30 years, anomalies have been popping up everywhere. They lead into both the future and the past. Occasionally creatures threatening to kill the entire human race come through into our world. It's our job to get them back home or if the anomaly closes, bring them here so our animal expert, Abby Maitland can look after them."

"So was my father killed by a dinosaur?" Hilary asked as the elevator doors opened with a ping. Jess walked out.

"I'll tell you later," Matt promised as he followed Jess out. Hilary took a deep breath before following Matt and Jess out. He was met by a man older than Matt who was wearing a smart suit and was holding his hands behind his back.

"Are we recruiting kids now then Matt?" he said sarcastically.

"Lester, this is Hilary Becker, Captain Becker and Jess' son," Matt told Lester. "He's here to find out about his father. I believe it's fine for him to be here for a day." Hilary felt uneasy while Lester studied him.

"Fine, for a day," Lester agreed as he turned and walked into his office. Jess walked over to what looked like loads of television screens to Hilary.

"This is the AD," Matt smiled.

"Anomaly what?" Hilary asked.

"Detector," Matt answered. "This is where your mother works. Informing us where the anomalies are any shortcuts to get to places, basically a more advanced sat nav!" Just then a man with messy black hair and a woman with short blonde air walked in. "And there's the genius who created the AD!" The man looked at Hilary before turning to the women.

"Abby, is it me or does he look familiar?" The man asked.

"That's because he's Becker's son you dope!" Abby laughed. The man turned back to Hilary.

"It's nice to meet you!" he said. "I'm Connor by the way."

"Hilary," Hilary nodded.

So that's the introduction done. Hope you liked it.

Thanks for reading and please review.
