"Oh my God, Abby!"
It took a few moments for the blond girl to understand Sarah's concern; looking down at herself quickly before she was pulled into the other's arms, she saw blood staining her torn jeans and the bottom of her tee.
"I'm fine," Abby exclaimed, though she accepted and returned the hug. "I didn't want to explain over the phone. Just—these guys came up and I tried to fight them, but there were three and they were big. And then this creature came and fought them off, and tore the one guy apart, and then it almost stayed and I would've called a team, only there was a siren and it ran off."
"Abby?" Sarah looked at her like it was a sheer miracle she was alive. "What did the creature look like?"
"I dunno," Abby admitted. "I could barely see it. It was sort of like a future predator, but not quite—almost human."
"You poor thing!" Sarah breathed. Abby shook her head, holding up her hands.
"I'm fine," she said. "Just a bit shaken. I just needed to tell somebody, and, well, a ride home."
"Oh, of course," Sarah nodded. "D'you know what, could you help me with this paperwork? I've got to fill out some stuff about the last creature, and I'm not totally sure on everything."
"The Therizinosaurus?" Abby asked.
"Yeah, the Thera—something saurus," Sarah nodded before blushing. "To be honest…I was a bit too preoccupied watching Becker's perfect arse to pay attention…" At Abby's smirk, she exclaimed, "Between us girls!"
"All right," Abby conceded.
