I have never been so sore in my life! Camp was fun though :D anyway back to my story... hmmm yeah it's a short one today since i ended up getting sick on camp. rain, mud, and having to cook your own food on a portable stove isn't such a good combo it gave me goo ideas though. I may have made Becker a bit of a softie at the end. to be honestly i might end up re-writting this chapter unless i manage to get it to flow into other things. don't own anything except the plot and a few main characters. Here's chapter 10!

Enjoy :D

"I was wondering when you'd show up here..."

Becker spun around, searching the white room for the source of the voice. It was familiar. His eyes fell upon Sarah lounging on a cream sofa and he frowned. "Am I..."

"You're dreaming, yes. How are you Becker? Come, sit!" she said. She didn't even look up at him when she spoke, she just laid with her eyes closed and her head resting against the arm rest.

Becker hestantly went over and sat on the sofa opposite her. "I'm okay... this is a pretty weird dream though."

"Hmm."

Becker frowned when he remembered Jess saying some things about having dreams about Sarah. This couldn't possibly be the same thing Jess was going through...

"It's very possible Becker." She whispered.

"How did you-?"

She sat up suddenly and glared at Becker. "You and Jess have so much in common. Seriously it's driving me insane!"

Becker's frown deepened. What on earth is she talking about? What do Jess and I have in common?

Sarah leaned back and sighed, her glare still aimed at Becker. "Jess asked the same thing when I had read her mind. You're dreaming Becker. I'm part of your subconscious. This is a very special dream."

Becker leaned back against the sofa and sighed. "You're not going to go all psychic on me, are you?"

Sarah went serious suddenly. Her glare softening into something more sad. Oh no, what's going to happen? Becker thought worriedly.

"Becker. Um, how can I put this in a way that won't worry you?" she thought aloud.

"Sarah... you're already worrying me."

She sighed. "I'm just going to say it then. Something horrible is going to happen soon. Sooner than you think actually." She paused then in a quiet voice added. "It involves Jess."

Becker's heart sank deep into his chest, his head shaking from side to side, refusing to take that in. This can't be happening!Not Jess! Anyone but innocent Jess!

"I'm so sorry Becker..." Sarah's voice cracked as tears begun to dwell up in her eyes.

"No... she's not... she won't d-die right?" Becker heart was pounding in his chest now. There has to be away around this. I can save her!

Sarah didn't reply. "I can't tell you anymore than that."

"Sarah!"

Sarah avoided his eyes. "I'm sorry becker. You need to wake up now."

Becker was up to his feet in a heart beat, towering over her."Sarah! Tell me nothing will happen to her!"

"Wake up Becker."

Becker's eyes flashed open and he found himself in the futuristic ARC lounge. Breathing heavily, he tried to calm himself. It was just a dream. Nothing is going to happen to Jess. Everything is going to be fine...

Becker could feel tears stinging his eyes but fought them back. "Everything is fine... nothing will happen to her. Everything is-"

Suddenly an ear piercing scream echoed through the corridors and Becker was to his feet, following the commotion going on around the place. He froze in front of one of the ECO machines and begun pressing buttons. "Situation Report."

"Please hold Captain Becker while I process your demand..." the computer hummed for a couple of minutes while it searched through it's systems for the problem.

Katherine ran around the corner carrying a little brunette girl followed closely by a teenage girl who looked a lot like Jess. "There you are! How good are you with kids?"

Becker turned away from the machine and frowned. "Shouldn't I be helping the soldiers?"

"Haha, you're so funny" Katherine replied sarcastically. "My job is to keep you and Jess alive. Right now that means keeping you two out of the firing line. Take Sarah and Kenzie here will help you out. I need you guys to head to the armory basement and stay there. That means no running off... Kenzie, I'm talking to you."

"That was one time! And I was helping mum!" She even sounds a bit like Jess.Becker thought.

Katherine frowned. "I don't care... go! Others will join you soon." She ran off leaving Becker to look after the two girls, one of which was now securely wrapping herself around his neck and waist, crying into his shoulder.

"It's 'kay... shhh." he whispered, rubbing her back to soothe her.

Kenzie sighed. "Come on then!" She took hold of Becker's hand and began pulling him through the corridors towards the armory.

"What exactly is going on?" Becker asked as they enter into the armory.

"Let's just say it's a very bad creature incursion." Kenzie replied before punching the digits in and opening the door to the basement. "Jess is fine by the way. There's no need to worry about her."

Becker frowned as the three of them went down the stairs into the large space. "I'm not."

"Don't lie. Trust me, I know a lot about you and Jess." Kenzie flicked on the switch, the light blinding all three of them for a moment before Becker was finally able to see that it wasn't just a large room... tunnels led everywhere with other rooms branching off of it.

Becker frowned as he watched Kenzie preparing things. "How can you be so sure?"

"Because I'm still here..." She froze, her eyes widening in shock. "I shouldn't have said that!"

Sarah's arms tightened around Becker's neck when he tensed up. "Explain... please?"

Kenzie turned towards him with worry in her eyes. "I don't know what will happen if I tell you. This could all change if I do..."

"Tell me what?" Becker frowned.

"I'm you're daughter."
