They passed Becker on their way out of there and the five of them rushed to the Anomaly site. On the roads, there was a huge build up of traffic, and they had to wait.

"No time!" said Danny to himself and tugged at the wheel. The large car made its way across the rain-soaked field. Did I mention it was tipping it down? Well it was raining so hard they could barely see through the windscreen. The car complained as mud found its way into it, coating the tyres and splattering on the windscreen. Danny took no notice and carried on driving across the field, Connor couldn't help himself. He grinned for the first time in days, thinking of the people's indignant looks who had to sit in the traffic jam.

They finally found the road on the other side of the field and got some funny looks, seeing as they were dripping mud onto the road. The car skidded round another corner, they were almost there. Connor gripped the sides of his seat as the car flew round the corner, two wheels coming off the road. He looked at Becker and Cutter's faces on either side of him. Becker was trying not to show his fear, but gripping his gun so hard his knuckles had gone white. Cutter's eyes were screwed close and the look on his face was one of pure terror. He was mouthing something under his breath and Connor could swear he heard the words 'Please God, I want to live'... Connor laughed and Nick's eyes flew open and he looked at the student in surprise. But they flew round another corner and the surprise in his eyes turned to fear again.

"I don't suppose we could slow down?" came Becker's voice on the other side of him. Connor's head snapped round, his cheeks had a greenish tinge to them. It didn't seem that Danny heard him, well he didn't slow down anyway. Connor heard Issy scream as they flew over a bump and actually left the road!

"DANNY!!!" the four of them yelled at the same time as Danny slammed the brakes on and Connor's head flew forward, banging into the seat in front of him.

"Ow." He stated, rubbing his nose. "That hurt!" He looked at Becker, who seemed to have regained his posture a bit and was trying to open the car door. On the other side of him, Cutter sat in the same position he had been, his eyes wide and fearful, his face pale and his hands gripping the seat so hard his knuckles had gone the shade of a piece of paper.

"Professor?" asked Connor, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Cutter?" Nick blinked a couple of times and released his iron-grip on the chair. He tried to open the door, but Becker was there and pulled it open for him. Shakily, Cutter climbed out of the car. He opened his mouth a few times before,

"Never let him drive again." He said in a quiet voice, pointing with a slightly shaky finger at Danny. "He could have killed us." Danny looked at him and grinned, he didn't seem to notice the reaction they had all had to his driving.

"Over here." He beckoned, and walked off away from the car, holding his anomaly detector out in front of him. Cutter nodded and followed him, his walking getting slowly steadier. Connor followed, his breathing still harder than normal and looked around.

When they caught up with Danny, it was to find him heaving up a grating, trying to get into the sewers? Connor checked his detector, Danny was right, the Anomaly was down there. He noticed Issy standing next to him. She sighed, looking at her boyfriend. She hated muck, yesterday there was the fiasco with the river... sometimes she really hated this job...

Connor looked away quickly and bent down to help Danny. Together they managed to heave the grate off the floor and rolled it out of the way. A horrific smell engulfed them, Connor wrinkled his nose and tried not to breathe. He looked at Issy, who had gone pale. He didn't think she would enjoy it, but if she was a patch on Abby, she would do it anyway. And truly enough, Issy followed Danny down the ladder, wrinkling her nose at the smell.

Connor went down last, this was bad enough! What would it be like if there was some horrible, carnivorous creature down there? He sighed, and followed Danny's 'This way'. Wait a minute, he found himself thinking, wasn't Cutter supposed to be in charge? He was before he'd died... why was Danny taking control? What was up with this world???

Connor felt his way along the dark, dank corridors, feeling with his hands along the slimy walls. He tried not to think of the reason they were slimy, there was no other way to walk down the tunnel. There was no light. The smell got worse, the further they went along, and Connor soon found himself gagging in the dark. It was overwhelming! He heard Ab - Issy – gagging in front of him, and longed to comfort her. He felt sorry for her, Danny wasn't wrapping his arm around her and taking care of her. She was obviously hating the experience. Connor had to tell himself she wasn't Abby. He did nothing.

Connor kept checking his detector, not much further... he kept going. The tunnel seemed to be getting lighter... They turned a corner, and there it was! Connor stared at it in awe, it was so beautiful! The shards of broken light glinting, lighting up the whole section of the tunnel.

"So" Said Becker. "Now we sit here and wait to see what comes through. I think we'd have been attacked if anything had already come through. So, now we wait." He hoisted his gun higher up on his chest and aimed it at the Anomaly. Connor found it enthralling, intriguing... If he could go through...

"Can I have a look?" the question formed it's way on his lips and came out before he could stop it. Nick looked at him suspiciously.

"Connor..." he said slowly. Connor looked at him, "You know you can't change what happened. Believe me, I've tried. I can't let you go through, you might not come back." Connor looked at him with pleading eyes.

"Please Professor, I know I can't change it. I just want to have a look. Please! You can come with me. We'll go through and be back before we know it. Then you can make sure I come back?" Cutter felt his heart melt for the heart-broken man standing in front of him.

"Okay." He turned to Becker, "If we're not back in an hour, come and look for us. We won't go far. And I'll have the radio." Becker nodded.

"Take a gun." He insisted.

"I've got one." Connor reassured him. He walked through the Anomaly, it always felt amazing when he glimpsed at the world as it had been millions of years ago. But something didn't look quite right... There was a car, broken up in front of him, Connor walked over to it. The door was lying on the floor beside the car. There was technology in there that wouldn't have belonged to just anyone. And you wouldn't have been able to get a car through that corridor.

The ground was dusty.

There was a huge mountain in front of him.

And a small figure making his way up.

A familiar looking figure.

Connor found himself staring at himself climbing a mountain in the distance...
