Well here is the second chapter of the story and now I know that people like the story concept I hope to go into a bit more detail. Enjoy
Save Us"Jess we're trapped." The words rang in her ears like an alarm. Trapped that means Becker can't get to the medics. How hurt is he? Could he die? These questions ran through her head as she tried to find a way for the team to escape.
Becker convulsed violently against the table, blood dripped from his lips from where he'd bitten his tongue. Abby ripped a section off of her t-shirt and wiped away the blood as her other hand affectionately stroked Becker's hair. He started to settle now, tremors reduced to just shivers. A stray tear rolled down her cheek as she then looked to Matt, who was pacing from one side of the small dank room to the other.
"Matt?" said Abby, her voice shaking.
He didn't answer; he just carried on pacing, gun resting against his forehead.
"Matt for heavens sake stop pacing your making me nervous." She said finally her voice breaking.
Matt looked at her, pure fear and worry flooded his sky blue eyes. He made his way to her side and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, he was surprised at how much this situation upset him. He had never really warmed to Becker but know he felt every fibre of his being wanting to just hold the man and tell him everything was going to be ok, but he wouldn't. He couldn't appear weak in front of the team and he especially couldn't get too attached to them. He knew what his mission was and friends weren't an option.
BANG
The noise made the team jump. The scorpions were trying to get in again. They'd tried once before but the door is too strong for them.
"How long do you think before they move on?" asked Abby.
"Not sure, they don't seem to have short attention spans but everything gets tired after a while. A few hours maybe."
The door banged again.
"Becker doesn't have a few hours, I've seen this before and Stephen definitely didn't have a few hours either."
"Stephen?" Matt looked with confusion in his eyes.
"He was a member of the original team. Back when we first discovered the anomalies he was bitten by and giant centipede and nearly died from the same symptoms."
"Where is he know?" asked Matt.
"They haven't told you anything about the original team?"
"No it was always kept very hushed up."
"He died, was killed by creatures."
"I'm sorry." Said Matt as he looked at Becker.
Becker started to convulse again nearly falling off the table. Matt caught him and held the man down.
"These seizures are getting worse." He stated as he noticed the blood in Becker's mouth.
Abby just nodded in response, turning her head so she didn't have to watch her friend thrash around. Soon but not soon enough the seizure past and Becker coughed, splashing blood over the hand that Matt had placed next to the man's face in an attempted to stop the man from hurting himself. Matt just stared at the blood, he didn't wipe it away and he didn't know why. It seemed fitting for it was very likely Becker wasn't going to make it out alive and it would be his fault.
An idea suddenly hit Matt. He looked at the small-bared widow.
"Jess how soon can you get a strong vehicle here?"
"What did you have in mind?"
"I need something that can pull some bars from a small window."
"So a large heavy duty truck would do the job?"
"Exactly."
"I'll see what I can do." She replied
Matt just sat and waited. Abby knew what he was thinking and thought it might just work. They had to risk it; otherwise Becker was going to die.
"Ones on it way. ETA about ten minutes."
A small burst of excitement ignited within Matt, he might just pull this off.
Sure enough ten minutes later the rumble of an engine rang out.
"Jess tell them to look for a small bared window on the ground, I'll stick my hand out it so they know which one."
Jess replayed Matt's instructions and soon enough two men found the window and attacked metal clips to that bars. Matt lifted Becker and instructed Abby to get by the door. They stood and watched as the car rumbled and reversed back at full speed. With a crash the bars and a large section of wall above them came away leaving a respectable size hole to climb out of.
The two men jumped out of the car and ran to the window.
"Get the medics round here." Said Matt to one of the men as he carried Becker towards the window.
He placed Becker back onto the in a sitting position as he then climbed onto the table. Then with the other man ready to help he began to lift Becker towards to window. The other man grabbed Becker under his arms and began to drag the captain to safety. Next Matt helped Abby out the window and then finally himself. As soon as he got through he sat there, trying to get his breath and cursing himself for not thinking of this plan sooner. Abby had run to Becker as two medics started to slide him into a car. A hospital wouldn't be equipped to deal with this; they had to get him back to the arc medical centre.
Well I thought seeing as the ideas were still flowing that I'd add the next chapter. Hope you enjoyed and the next part will be up soon
