Summary: Missing scene for episode 4x03.
Glaring at the locked anomaly didn't help, nor did it give him the answers he needed but Becker couldn't bring himself to stop.
He listened to Connor and Abby as they insisted he reopen the anomaly, listened to Jess's silence as she kept herself from agreeing with his teammates even though he knew she did. Given the way he'd acted last time she'd so much as mentioned someone going through an anomaly, Becker didn't blame her for biting her tongue.
He listened to the screams in his head, replayed the memory of Sarah calling for him before the predators found her, and found his fingers itching to press the code that would cause the locking device to stop doing its job.
'Where are you, Matt?' He thought to himself, angry and frustrated that there was no way of knowing.
The team leader had said he understood, had promised that the safety of the team – his own included – was his top priority.
So why the hell had he gone through an anomaly, knowing what Becker would have to do, knowing what dangers might be lurking on the other side?
There was the question of where the team leader was, too. Stuck in the past? Stuck in the future? Somewhere safe – ha! – or in mortal peril somewhere? The latter, Becker knew, was far more likely but still something inside him refuse to let him move and unlock the glowing ball of gold light.
People died when they went through anomalies. People got lost and some of them couldn't find their way back home.
Becker stared at the anomaly, his grip on his gun tightening as the internal war raged on inside his mind.
'Where the hell are you, Matt?'
