I told you I'm not so good at writing action scences (Strill need to practise that! I'm really sorry!),

but the Jecker fluff that's coming up is way better, I promise!=)

When Matt returned everyone stared at him expectantly.

"That was Jess, it seems like there was a huge solar flare that knocked our GPS-satellite out."

"So, does that mean we have to go blind now?"

"Probably."

"Great!" Connor scoffed.

Becker realised just how used they'd all gotten to have a pair of extra eyes and ears.

"We did it before though, didn't we?"

"Becker is right, we don't have a choice, though Lester wants to know if it helped if Jess flew over."

Becker swore silently. All he wanted to do was to forget about Jess for a few days.

Was that too much to ask for?

"How exactly should that help us?" Emily asked and Connor explained:

"Well she could bring some walkie-talkie's and a laptop with…oh!"

"What?" Abby asked as Connor's face lit up.

"That's it! This would be the perfect opportunity to test my new CCTV system!" Connor got all exited. "I invented small cameras that we could wear on our missions and they don't need the satellite. I thought it would be convenient in an area where there's no CCTV system Jess can hack, but on second thoughts maybe it wouldn't be that effective because Jess would only be able to see the area from our perspective instead of having an overview over the whole field and besides that I'm not sure about the sound system yet, for it would probably just carry the rustling of our clothes, but anyway I would love to just test them you know."

"Well, sounds like a plan." Matt said. Becker was about to protest but closed his mouth again.

How the hell could he persuade them that Jess's arrival wouldn't be a good thing? She was part of the team and it really was easier with another pair of eyes and ears looking out.

So Matt called the ARC and requested if Jess would be available for the mission.

She was.

So much for getting away from her and not having to think about her, Becker thought bitterly.

However Jess would only arrived the next morning with all the equipment she needed.

The search without her, meaning without any method of communicating with each other, had been very difficult to coordinate, not speaking of being able to be sure that no one disappeared.

Never the less there were no new results, they had found absolutely nothing besides the fact that the people looked at them as if they themselves were the killer.

So now everyone got ready for the new search, this time with their brilliant field coordinator again.

Abby and Connor was the last pair to leave, but before they could Jess needed to tell Abby something.

"You were right by the way."

"Huh?" Jess made sure Connor wouldn't hear her, but he was too occupied with the cameras and his laptop. "This morning, I found another rose, which means they can't be from…"

Abby rubbed her back: "I'm sorry Jess."

"I got it all installed and upgraded!" Connor said that second. "Jess, come here, so this is the…"

He explained all the technical details before they finally left to search their told territory.

Jessica got herself a bag of crisps and watched the surveillance cameras the team members were wearing now.

"Jess, do you hear me?" Abby asked. Her voice was muffled.

"Very badly actually."

Connor gave her some advice as how to find the right frenzy, but it didn't get better.

"Guys, we found a trail of blood!" Becker announced.

He gave his coordinates and Jess watched the black line on the ground which they followed, but the picture came and went.

"I can't really see, Becker!" Jess said typing on the laptop.

"There'sssss…a…here…fou…ly…a…"

"What? Becker, I can't hear you!" Jessica said and tried to get a better connection.

There was a lot of rustling and the picture's colours changed to black and white.

Before all the lines went dead.

"Does anyone read me? We found a dead deer!" Becker repeated, but all he heard was strange kind of sizzling. "Damn!"

He took a closer look at the shredded body at his feet. It must have been here for merely eight hours. Warily he looked around, surly the creature would come back for it.

The forest was too silent he noticed and peered carefully around him.

Was there something watching him?

"Does anybody hear me?" He tried again but there was no signal.

"Hey, Donald, let's get out of here." He said and turned around him to where his soldier had stood only a second ago.

"Donald?" Becker turned around again, but his soldier was gone and the daylight already began to fade. He cursed again and started slowly to back out of the forest, aware of every movement around him.

"Okay, this doesn't work at all!" Emily said throwing the camera and ear piece onto the desk.

"I was so sure!" Connor said. Abby put her hand onto his shoulder and Matt decided they'd try again tomorrow.

Becker entered the room that moment: "I lost my soldier!"

"What?"

"We found a dead deer and a second later Donald was gone."

"So, let's hope they will work today." Matt said over the coms.

"I can still hear you, Matt." Jessica answered.

"I modified them, it should be fine." Connor answered.

Jessica sat in the small hotel room, watching the team's back. The satellite was still not in place, or maybe it was really just one of the rare spots on earth where the technology just couldn't grab a hold, for whatever reason.

They covered the other side of the small town today but found nothing which made clear that whatever was out there was in the forest.

The soldier remained missing and no one was comfortable about it, but they couldn't do anything but keep looking for him.

The day passed, but without any results, except for the one that Connor's cameras didn't work at all.

"I know we probably shouldn't go, because it doesn't feel right with a man missing, but there's a karaoke thing tonight in the pub and the whole town will probably be there, maybe we can gather some more information?" Jess suggested as the others returned.

Emily agreed: "There is nothing else to do and I think it could also be nice anyway."

"I think so too. Let's have at least one nice evening between all this crap going on." Abby said, so everyone agreed, even if reluctantly.
