Chapter 4

"MUM! DAD!" Thomas shouted running towards the remains of the balcony that trapped his parents.

"Tom stop!" Nick ordered, pulling the younger teen back.

"But my parents are under there!" Thomas sobbed.

"Sarah distract big mouth over there" Nick instructed as the Deinosuchus opened its huge jaws.

"Okay, but what's it doing?" Sarah asked.

"Cooling down" Max replied.

"Max keep Thomas here, I'll go get Matt and Emily" Nick ordered.

"Go for it" Max nodded.

"Thanks" Nick replied as he ran around the huge crocodile.

"Look at me!" Sarah shouted, gaining the attention of the huge creature.

"I have to go!" Thomas shouted pulling out of Max's restraint.

"Sorry mate" Max sighed as he fired his EMD, knocking Thomas to the ground.

"Subtle" Sarah acknowledged.

"Cheers" Max grinned, before dragging the unconscious Thomas out of the way.


"Matt!" Nick whispered, as he lifted the remains of the balcony.

"Hey" Matt replied as he staggered to his feet.

"You alright, that was quite a fall" Nick replied.

"I'm fine, thanks" Matt replied, "Emily." He pulled his Victorian wife to her feet.

"Thank you Matt" Emily smiled, hugging her husband.

"Right, slowly follow me" Nick instructed as they slowly moved around the huge crocodile, until Emily knocked a rock into the water.

"Oh no" Emily gasped, as the huge creature turned around to face them.

"This should be fun" Nick sighed, raising his EMD, "Dive to the side!"

"Right" Matt replied as both he and Emily dived out of the way of the creature.

"Sam, get a net set up now!" Nick instructed.

"We need a minute to do that at least" Same replied.

"I'll give you thirty seconds" Nick sighed diving into the sea. The Deinosuchus roared before charging into the sea.

"NICK!" Sarah screamed as she ran to where her best friend had stood moments earlier.

"What happened?" Matt asked as he pulled a newly awakened Thomas to his feet.

"It was for his own safety" Max replied before walking over to Sarah.

"It's killed him" Sarah sobbed, before falling into Max's arms.

"I'm sorry" Max whispered.

Suddenly a number of loud zapping sounds could be heard from under the cold water.

"What?" Max asked, before seeing Nick's head splash to the surface.

"Wow, that was close" Nick laughed.

"NICK!" Sarah shouted as she ran into the shallow sea and wrapped her arms around Nick.

"Sorry if I scared you" Nick whispered hugging Sarah.

"Creature contained, returning to the anomaly" Sam announced.

"Roger that Sam, thanks for your help" Max smiled.


"James, can I have a word?" Michelle asked, stepping into Lester's office.

"Yes, Michelle what is it?" Lester asked.

"The creature today, it didn't come from the anomaly" Michelle replied, "To have got outside it would have to knock a wall down, but when we arrived the hall was intact."

"So what are you saying?" Lester asked.

"Well, seen as Kendall turned up, I'd say that the creature belonged to Mercer" Michelle replied.

"Right, I'll see if that story holds any water" Lester nodded, "Anything else?"

"Did you get that file we were talking about?" Michelle asked.

"Yes" Lester sighed taking a file out of his draw and handing it to Michelle.

She took the file that had the name 'Daniel James Temple' written across the top. Opening the file she picked up a photo of CCTV, showing a creature crashing through the wall of the village hall.

"This is the same creature" Michelle gasped.

"You sure?" Lester asked.

"Defiantly, the scars on its side are identical" Michelle replied.
