Sorry for the wait. Been a tad busy. Hope you enjoy the new chapter and please review.
Sarah kneeled down and sat Danny up a bit as Becker walked towards her, "You wanted to know where a Jess was? The only other woman in there is a young girl, I assume she's Jess? Bright orange heels, short skirt, dark hair?"
"Yeah, that's her,"
"Well, I may have knocked her out..."
"You knocked her out and left her with that mad man?" Emily asked, watching the pair curiously, as they helped Danny up.
"I thought she was bad. I thought maybe she'd attacked Danny. I tied that other man up as well, so calm down."
"Can we just stop for a moment?" Matt asked, pushing his hand through his hair, "You're Sarah?" She nodded, "You were dead."
"I watched you get torn apart."
"You sure it was me? Because if I recall correctly, I actually fell off a building and into an anomaly."
"No, you definitely died. We had DNA tests done because we weren't sure which parts were you." Becker rubbed his face, "You have no idea how horrific it was."
"Wait, how long has it been?"
"A little over two years now." Matt stated.
"Two years? But it literally just happened."
"Okay, well, as interesting as this all is, can we rescue Jess, then get back to the ARC and find out what is going on?" Matt asked, pushing towards the entrance.
"Yeah, Jess," Becker looked towards the warehouse and stepped after Matt, "Did you see anything while you were in there?"
"Well, I ran into a dracorex, but it didn't seem to notice me. It's locked in a room at the back, quite a distance away from Jess."
"How did you get here? Did you walk through an anomaly?" Emily asked, looking curious.
"No, I just opened my eyes, and here I was."
"Okay, and there were no trips wires?" One of the soldiers cut in from behind them.
"Yeah, but I was trained to deactivate them, we all were." Sarah looked at everyone as they all shook their heads.
"That's never happened..." Another soldier spoke.
"Right, let's go." Matt walked over and entered into the warehouse, closely followed by Becker and Emily.
They walked into a large area, looked around at the different boxes scattered around. There were 4 doors at the back.
"Jess is in the one on the far right, and the dracorex is in the one on the far left." Sarah's voice joined them.
Becker walked straight towards the room holding Jess, and swung the door open.
Jess looked up at him, eyes wide, "Becker, thank God!" He jogged over to her, and untied all the ropes holding her to the chair.
"Are you alright?" He pulled her to him, holding her in a tight hug.
"Yeah, apart from my head and my wrists and the fact that I've been attacked by two people in one day. Sure, I'm brilliant, as usual."
He pushed her away, holding onto the top of her arms, "Are you sure?" He let go of one of her arms, and swept her fringe away from her eyes. She smiled at him, and nodded, he pulled her in again and pressed a light kiss to her forehead, "Don't think I'm letting you out of my eye sight for a while." Jess' smile grew.
"Good, because I swear, if you disappear ever again, someone mind end up with a hole in their head." Matt laughed. They turned and saw their friend leaning against the door way. Emily was smiling at them from just behind him.
Jess moved away, "Uh, Patrick is over there," She pointed towards the figure in the corner, he was leaning against the wall, a small trail of blood trickling down his face.
"Ouch. I must've hit him more than I thought I had." Everyone turned to look at Sarah, who had just appeared, "I just showed the soldiers where the dracorex was being kept. They've chained it up to stop it from causing any damage."
"Who's this?" Jess asked, looking the dark haired woman up and down, "She looks like Sa-"
"Sarah Page."
"But I read your file. You died."
"So everyone keeps telling me," She huffed, shaking her hair over her shoulder, "Sorry for whacking you over the head by the way. Thought you had kidnapped Danny."
"You think someone as small as me, wearing bright orange heels and a tiny skirt, could possibly take on Danny and Patrick?" Becker laughed at this, and gathered her back in his arms again.
"Fair point." Sarah gave the pair an odd look, "You two together?" At that, the pair looked at each other before jumping apart.
"No, no. Just friends. Saved each other's lives quite a few times. Well, a lot of times. Like that time that I stopped a bomb and he saved me from the future predators." Jess continued to babble on for a few minutes before Sarah started to laugh.
"Wow. You sure do talk." Jess stopped and a blush flowed up her face. She bit her lip lightly and looked down.
"Anyway, Danny's been taken care of, he's off to the ARC with medical." Everyone turned to Matt as he spoke up, "The dracorex has been taken to the ARC as well, so maybe the rest of us better make a move?"
"First though, Jess, why did you need the Anomaly Detector?" Becker asked. Jess glanced up at him,
"Because of the anomaly?" Everyone was giving her looks of confusion, "There was an anomaly. As I was getting Patrick into this room, an anomaly opened in front of us, a dracorex appeared and we just threw ourselves into this room."
"The anomalies closed. When I woke up, there was no anomaly. I just followed the voices. I saw the dracorex, but it ignored me." Sarah explained.
"Has someone searched all of the rooms?" Becker turned to his men, waiting for a confirmation.
"No, just the two Sarah mentioned, sir."
"Well, search them." Becker ordered them. The two soldiers looked at each other.
"Captain, every time we step up to the doors, a bell sounds and it feels bad."
"Feels bad?" Becker raised an eyebrow, waiting for an explanation.
"You know how sometimes you know something is bad news? Sometimes you wake up and you know something will go wrong today?" Becker nodded, "It feels like that."
Becker walked up to one of the other doors and instantly stepped away, goosebumps making their way up his forearms, a bell sounded from inside the room. He took a few more steps away, shoving the other back with him, "I'm not sure this is good news." He pulled out his gun, and aimed at the handle, the door flew open as the bullet hit it's target. A huge white light shone out of the door and after covering their eyes, they looked to find an anomaly, bigger and brighter than any of them had ever seen before. A fire was spreading from it, tearing its way up the walls and out of the door, black smoke steadily streaming from the room.
"I think this may be a good time to run." Matt grabbed Emily's hand, and lead the way to the exit. Just as they reached the doors, the floor shuddered and they all fell to the ground.
Jess glanced behind her, to see the fire licking it's way around the boxes abandoned in the warehouse. Turning to the others, who were finding their footing again, she took Becker's hand and went to jump up, the floor gave another shudder and the warehouse roof caved in behind them.
I love how many people instantly jumped to the conclusion that Sarah was evil. (Also, the bit about how it was her from a different time line came from another fic I read a while back, but it was about how Cutter died but then woke up back with Claudia, I can't remember who wrote it though... But thanks for the idea!)
