The ARC's last mission
Chapter 6! –
A/N – Thanks to all my reviews! :D It's always good to know that people are reading my writing :P
"We've got to go after her!" Matt cries as he lunges forwards, Becker grabs him, refraining him from running through the anomaly, "No! Remember, No trips, No searches, and no rescue missions!" Becker snaps, Matt yelps, "But…But this is Emily we're talking about! We've got to save her!" Matt yells, Abby sighs, "Becker, he's got a point, this is Emily, she's a part of the team, we can't just let her die" Abby protests, Becker sighs, what is he going to do? He can't just watch as the team go and get themselves killed! He sighs again, he has to protect the team, it's his job. "Matt….." He stutters, he thinks again, but surely going after Emily would be doing his job, which is to protect the team, and saving Emily would be protecting her right?
"Becker, you'd go after Jess if she was dragged through there right?" Abby says, Becker groans, as a matter of fact, he would, Abby was right. He'd give his life to save her. Becker groans, "Fine, we go in after her, but don't make me regret this" Becker gives in, Abby grins, before reaching up and kissing Becker on the cheek, He frowns at the close proximity of Abby, before preparing his weapons for the mission that lies ahead.

10 minutes later…..Becker's POV….
Becker stands before the anomaly, Matt, Connor and Abby by his side, a black rucksack hangs from his back and a large EMD rests in his hands, he sends a nod to Matt, before the team walk through.
"No…Not here" Abby whispers, "Cretaceous era, I've had enough of this place" She mumbles, Becker glances as Connor places a hand on Abby's shoulder, she looks up at him, before placing a gente kiss on his cheek. Becker squirms to fight off a smile, god they are adorable together, no, pull yourself together. Becker flinches, a stern look remaining plastered to his face, he turns to look at Matt, who is frantically calling Emily's name, "Emily!" He shouts, "Emily!"
"Shut up!" Abby hisses, Matt spins around, and gives Abby a glare, "By shouting you're giving all the creatures a signal that you're here! Do you want to be attacked by raptors, or worse, a t-rex?" Abby hisses, "Look, I promise, we'll find Emily, but you've got to keep quiet!" Abby whispers, Matt gives her an acknowledging nod, before turning and raising his EMD once again.
There's a loud ear-piercing roar, which makes Becker spin around and spot Albert making his way towards the team, minus Emily, Becker raises his EMD, flicks it to the highest setting, and fires, the rest of the team, minus Connor, who still isn't allowed a gun, fires their EMD's hitting the beast right in the heart, therefore shocking him and knocking Albert unconscious, he drops to the floor, all 2 tonnes of him hitting the soft ground. Becker smiles, at last, he gets to shoot something big.
"Oh, and I forgot to say, don't breathe in too deeply, the levels of CO2 here is a hell of a lot higher than it is in our time" Abby says, "Now you tell us" Connor mutters as his yawning fest ends. Matt and Abby grin, Abby looks round at Becker, and notices the corners of his mouth have risen, as he fights away a grin. Connor's face is a masterpiece as his mouth forms the perfect 'O' shape, Abby laughs, and gives him a dose of oxygen.
Becker smirks as he carries on walking, he thinks, the ARC just wouldn't be the same without Connors childish ways, Becker releases another smirk, before raising his EMD.
It's a matter of minutes before they find Emily, "Over here!" Abby whispers, Matt, Becker and Connor run over, and stare at the nest of Albertosaurus eggs that lay before them, "H….Hang on, the Albertosaurus that attacked us back then was a male" Connor stutters, the rest of the team suddenly realise the shocking truth of their situation. Abby sighs, "If that was the male, then there's a female nearby" Abby says, her voice low and quiet, Becker frowns, "Umm….We're low on power packs for the EMD's" Becker says, after their run in with Albert earlier the supply for the EMD's are on an all-time low.
"We need to get out of here" Abby says, "get Emily up" She orders, Becker looks down at Emily, who is lying unconscious between two large dinosaur eggs, Matt bends down and wraps one arm around her waist, slinging her arm over his shoulder, he looks up, gesturing for Becker to grab her on the other side, Becker bends down, slinging Emily's other arm over his shoulder and lifting her up with the help of Matt, his EMD in the other hand.
"Okay lets go" Becker orders, Matt nods, before stepping out of the nest, the pair walk slowly away from the nest, but they don't get far, as the female Albertosaurus is soon behind them, sniffing them out. Abby flinches, before holding an arm out gesturing for the team to stop, they do, "Don't…..Move" She hisses, and Becker and Matt nod. They stand still for a matter of minutes before Emily starts to wriggle, "Huh…..What's going on?" She questions as she releases herself from Matt and Becker's grip, she stretches her arms out, taking a yawn, Becker grabs her wrist and pulls her beside him, "Shut up! And don't move" He snaps, Emily glares at him, as if to say 'how dare you tell me to shut up' before turning her head around to spot the protective mother looking straight back at her, Emily jumps, not expecting a dinosaur to be behind her, her jumping makes the Albertosaurus lock onto its prey, roar and walk stealthily forward, "RUN!" Matt yells, he grabs Emily's hand, before taking off through the forest, Abby, Connor and Becker seconds behind, Becker's black army boots stomp on the ground as he sprints through the shrubbery, he grazes his arm as a petruding branch blocks his path, the blood that's drawn only makes the dinosaur more keen on its fleeing dinner, it roars, before picking up the pace, Becker stops in his tracks, lifting his EMD up, if he was going to save the team, now is a good time to do it, he takes a deep breath in, Abby glances over her shoulder, "Becker!" She shouts, fear in her eyes, Connor pulls her back towards the anomaly, dragging her away from the head of security, the team are gone, back into the year 2012, while Becker stands, an angry Albertosaurus eyeing him from above.
