Prompt: Connor/Becker, heartbeat.
They find him at the base of a tree, barely breathing. Abby is missing, though there is a bloodstained trail leading away from Connor. He sends Connor back home through the anomaly and follows after Abby.
He doesn't find her. By sundown, he knows he won't, but he keeps pushing on, because he can't face Connor having given up on Abby.
By sunrise, he knows he has to go back. He has a duty to his men, who haven't once complained.
Connor'll live, Lester tells him. Quinn's still missing, but Connor will live. Lester tells him to take a week off, him and Sarah. Everyone needs a rest.
So he sits down next to Connor and waits for him to wake up.
