Well, already! A little fast at typing here! Just more of a filler more than much else...
So they all trudged forward in total silence.
"It is so much easier when Jess tells us where to go." Connor injected. He turned and grinned at Abby. Abby frowned slightly and stared at him sadly. For a really smart guy he was utterly stupid a lot of the time wasn't he?
Well Becker definitely thought the same. A bad idea to get on the bad side of Becker... "Shut up Connor!" Becker whispered. He stared angrily at Connor. If he was as dumb as Connor then they'd all be dead by now.
But Connor is dumb as a doorpost sometimes and just replied with a very confused, "huh?" And Abby had to prevent herself from bursting out in laughter. She always did find Connor funny in his own 'special' way. Well, most people would find him a total idiot though.
Then Abby came to terms with what he was doing... To be honest it could be nothing... But she twisted her head to look at him. Abby whispered, "Sshh," and giggled to herself. She turned around and carried on and just pretended it was nothing... nothing at all.
Connor shook his head slowly, 'what did she mean?' Connor stared over at Abby, "tell me what the hell you are talking about!" he yelled. At that moment everyone turned and just stared at him.
Abby crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow; and Connor just looked plain confused. "Connor just shut up and listen!" Abby cried. Connor was about to reply when Abby placed one hand over his mouth to prevent him from arguing back.
And that was when they heard it. A clicking. Slowly getting louder and louder...
So the group began to go in the other direction as fast as they could. They constantly kept wits about them as they went down the darkened corridors. But, they could hear the clicking still behind them. They ran as fast as they could towards the armoury. They skidded towards the doors, the creature extremely close behind...
Lester waited until everyone was lying on the floor then let out a hail of bullets towards the creature; it scurried away at the load sound.
Becker pulls up Jess and gives her a quick hug. "Huh... don't I get one? I did just save you!" Lester cried. He stared over to Becker and Jess. Who look totally seriously back at him.
Becker began to laugh and walked closer to Lester. "Do you really want a hug?" Becker smiled and stared over towards Jess. He stared at Lester, not being able to keep a very straight face.
Lester cocked his head over to one side. "I am not gay, and if you get near me- I may have to report it," Lester muttered. He turned and placed the gun he was holding back on the floor. Lester slipped down beside it and relaxed for just a few minutes.
Abby looked over towards the others'. "You know we have greater problems right now," Abby frowned and stared over towards the door. They were all thinking that it wouldn't be away for as much as they hoped. Well that was as long as it took them to rearm themselves and get Jess and Lester out.
Connor moved beside Abby and frowned sadly. "How many are there?" he asked. His voice was extremely hushed now as he started to realise how dangerous the situation was becoming.
Matt leaned over and butted into the conversation. "How should we know that?" Matt whispered in a sarcastic tone. He stared over towards the others. Nobody could really tell could they? At a guess, but otherwise... Could be hundreds of creatures to kill all those people; or so few but each could be so deadly.
"I'm just saying..." muttered Connor. He stared over at Matt probably thinking I was just making conversation, not really being that serious. This is just what Connor does. Make awkward comments at pointless times.
Abby turned her attention over to Lester and Jess. "Are you okay?" she asked. She smiled and stared at Jess, she looked quite shaken up, but Jess wasn't very good at this part of the ARC.
Jess looked up at Abby and she just grinned. "I'm okay..." Jess replied rather calmly. Her voice seemed flat but she was a significantly more tender than she put on.
Lester stared over at Jess she studied her for a second then looked back over at Abby. "She's not really," Lester said matter-of-factly. He grinned over at Abby who just looked at him. As if it was a; 'time and place, why are you making things worse?' look.
Abby then looked back at Lester. Had he implied something by that? Something that mattered, that they had to know? "Why? What happened?" Abby asked.
"Well for one it killed all those people..." Lester never finished. He was either a man to make petty jokes at the worst of times. Or be a very out right employee. Well okay he never, never was a normal employee. Then let's say. He can sometimes be serious. But he never was the type of person to be so emotional.
Becker stared over at them. So if they'd seen bodies, they might know how it took down its prey. They may know how the creature killed them and what era and species it could possibly be. However, asking them may be the most awkward conversation in the history of... ever. "Well now, at least we know how it kills then... we have a chance to get to it first," Becker commented. He stared over at Jess who awkwardly shifted in her seat. This was going to be harder than he thought...
