Sorry, this chapter has lots of explanation rather than action, because certain things have to be filled in from "Past Happenings". Just bear with it and it will get better soon. I promise! :)

Chapter 2: Stubborn

June 3rd 2029 began as a normal day, with the sun shining bright, with no signs of impending doom.

Connor and Abby had told Nick about their knowledge of Sarah's death. Cutter said not to worry about it unless there was an anomaly sighting, and then he would take care of it. Which in itself would be difficult, because it was Team B's turn to take care of the next anomaly. The Teams were as follows:

Team A: Nick Cutter, Claudia Cutter, Connor Temple, Jenny Quinn, and Tom Ryan.

Team B: Danny Quinn, Abby Temple, Hilary Becker, Sarah Becker, Stephen Hart, and Melissa Hart.

Stephen and Melissa were currently in Spain, with rumors of an anomaly sighting. Captain Ryan had also gone with them.

Danny and Jenny were currently on children duty. Even Lester had agreed that was what the ARC needed, as growing families endangered the team's jobs and lives.

Nick and Claudia had one little girl, Lily. Connor and Abby's two teens: Nicole and Nicholas. And of course Alex's and Sarah's daughter Claudia Anne.

Danny and Jenny, unable to have children of their own, volunteered to be in charge of watching the children on anomaly missions when they weren't on duty. That was why Abby and Jenny had switched teams, to be better prepared.

Connor stared at the ADD, in silent plea.

"Please, no anomaly today, of all days, please." He wondered if what had happened in the future would also come to pass on this day. There had been times when some of them had been put in great danger, nearly losing their lives, but thankfully, so far, no deaths had occurred since Cutter had been shot and had come back after Connor and Abby prevented his death.

Suddenly, Connor nearly screamed in frustration as the alarm went off, signaling an anomaly. Cutter and Abby rushed in. They had agreed to tell Becker about Sarah if an anomaly had appeared.

"Team A, we're on this one." Cutter yelled. "And Becker, we need you to cover for Ryan." Becker, who was approaching the ADD, nodded, and rushed off to prepare.

"What about me?" Nick turned around and saw Sarah standing behind him.

"No, Sarah, you stay here."

"What, you just expect me to stay here by myself while everyone else leaves?"

"You could always go to the Quinn's residence and help them with the kids." Connor offered. Sarah glared at him.

"I'm not some sort of backup you know, I'm part of this team too!" She shouted. Cutter stared her down.

"Sarah, stay here, that's an order!" As she shrunk back at his harsh words, Nick regretted saying it.

"Please Sarah, I need you here." He said quieter.

"Alright." She gave in, but still unwillingly.

As Nick, Connor, Abby, and Claudia Cutter walked out of the ARC, Claudia turned to her husband.

"What was that all about?"

"Nothing." He stayed silent. Abby and Connor walked farther behind.

"We should have told her her life was in danger." Abby whispered to Connor.

"The future is the future, what will happen will happen." Abby spun around, shocked at his words.

"How can you say that! We saved the lives of Nick, Stephen, Claudia and Ryan. We changed the future!"

"Abby, we did all we can to prevent it, now all we have to do is wait. And besides, you know we don't have any anomaly openers left." Abby sighed, remembering. Connor had been unable to develop the design for the anomaly openers that they had found from Helen Cutter and in the future. He was still working on it, but so far no progress.

And the last one they had "borrowed" was running out, fast.

Sarah sighed, plopping down in front of the ADD. She remembered when she first joined the ARC, how she was forced to stay while everyone else went on the anomaly missions. She thought everybody treated her with respect now. To say she was angry at being left behind was an understatement.

Everybody was amazed. At the anomaly site, there were no predators, no danger, just an anomaly in a gym that was sealed on sight.

"We should stay until it closes, somehow something still feels wrong." Becker said. Everyone agreed.

Not only was Sarah still mad, she was incredibly bored. Being all alone in the hub of the ARC did things to your mind. She jumped suddenly as the anomaly alert went off again.

"I'll show them, I can take care of this one myself." She retrieved the coordinates of the new anomaly and took off by herself, unknowingly leaving her cell phone behind.
