Chapter 2 – To the Anomaly
"Hiya guys. Let's see what we've got today then". Connor said whilst sitting down in his chair in front of the anomaly detector. He tapped something into the keyboard and found the location of their new anomaly. Sarah had glanced over to Abby and noticed she was gazing dreamily at Connor. Abby, unaware she was doing this, was brought back round to her senses when Sarah gave a small chuckle.
"What?" Abby asked her rather embarrassed. Sarah just shook her head smiling, and Abby could feel herself blushing. Connor, unaware of what had just gone on between the girls said;
"Right then, come on guys". They got their guns and equipment and guns together and headed to the car park. "Ok. Sarah and Becker, you're with me", said Danny, "and Connor you're with Abby". They all got into their cars and headed off.
In Connor and Abby's car, Abby leaned forward to change the radio channel at the same moment Connor changed the gear stick to change gear. Their hands momentarily brushed and Abby's heart skipped a beat. What Abby didn't know though, was that Connor's heart had just done the same thing. They both looked up at each other and smiled for a second before quickly moving their hands back.
Abby thought that the rest of their journey would be in an awkward silence after that, but she was pleasantly surprised that Connor's mood had lifted even more than it was already at. This gave her even more confidence that when she finally told him what she had wanted to for what seemed like centuries, it would all turn out Ok.
When they arrived at the anomaly, they met up with the others.
"Right then", said Danny, "let's close this thing. I can't believe we're going to actually get it closed without having to go through it or having a big drama like we normally do. This one's so simple".
What none of them knew though was that Danny was going to be sadly mistaken.
