As promised (well not really I kinda just mentally promised this :D) A much happier chapter! There's a teeny teeny bit of swearing in this chapter but I'm pretty sure it was greatly needed :D Eeep! Don't own anything except the plot and a few minor characters Here's chapter 25 (wow that's a lot of chapters)

Enjoy :D

"You'll all be the first to witness my new experiement!" Helen laughed, looking up at the camera with a wicked grin. She turned to Jess with the the syringe. "Now... stay still..."

"Cut off the cameras would you? I've had enough of our little viewers. We have to leave them in suspence somehow." She said to one of the guards. She turned back to Jess and smiled. "I'm going to enjoy this. Now... this is going to hurt."

"HELP!" Jess cried in utter terror as she tried to get as far from Helen as she could. "Please someone help!"

"Helen don't do this!" Perry growled, snatching the syringe from her hand.

Helen whipped around and glared at him. "If you don't give that back... I'll get one of my men to walk all the way to where your sweet little Jane is probably watching tv and I will make him bring her here... and I will kill her, do you understand? Now give that back." she said calmly.

"Please Perry..." Jess begged. "Don't." He watched as a few tears fell from the corners of her eyes. She didn't deserve what Helen was putting her through. No one did. But as an idea came to his head, he knew what he had to do.

He looked at Helen. "Inject me."

Jess gasped. "Perry what are you-"

Helen frowned. "And why would I do that when you've been so useful to me?" Very slowly she edged her way closer to him, but everytime she took a step forward, Perry moved as well, knowing what she was trying to do.

"You can clone me and then inject that into me. That way no one else has to get hurt." now he was the calm one.

Jess glanced back and forth between the two of them. How can either one of them be so calm when they're talking about killing someone! She thought.

Helen's eyes narrowed as she considered the option. "It would be a lot easier that way."

"See you agree with me! Or maybe... have you ever thought about injecting one of the clones with it? They're basically dumb humans. They'd do whatever you want them to do!"

Helen sighed, stopping near the guard by the door. "We'll talk about this later. It's late and I'm hungry. You, put her back with the other one." Before she left she handed a small syringe to the guard, whispering something that only he could hear.

"Of course Helen." He agreed and after she left the room, he walked over to Perry and his fist suddenly flew through the air and smacked right into the middle of his face.

"Holy sh- what the hell was that for?" Perry cried as he clutched his nose. Jess gasped. "God... you broke my fucken nose you idiot!" he growled, clicking his nose back into place and pushing against the guard angrily.

"Helen would like you out in the central room now." the guard said with no emotion. He turned to Jess then and held up the small syringe. Jess' heart dropped and she begun to struggle, a scream building up inside of her.

"Oi mate!" Perry growled. The guard dumbly turned around and Perry punched him right in the face, crying out as pain shot up his arm. "What the fuck? Are you made out of stone or something?" he hissed.

The guard frowned. "Helen would like you out in the central room now."

"Perry, don't leave me here with him! Please don't...leave..." Jess' voice trailed off as the guard injected the small amount of liquid into her arm. Jess blinked, feeling her eyelids get very heavy all of a sudden.

"It's okay Jess. I have everything worked out. We'll get out of here. I promise." Perry said.

"you...better" Jess replied as she fell limp on the bed.

o.O~O.o

"Becker!" Lester growled as he watched him pace back and forth in his office. "Becker calm down!"

"How can I calm down when that bitch is torturing Jess and god knows who else? We should be out there figuring out where the hell she is, not standing around like-"

"Becker, mate. We are trying to find her. Connor and Abby have gone to go search around for abandoned factories and warehouses. There's not much any of us can do." Danny sighed.

Suddenly everyone groaned as the anomoly alarm went off, even Lester.

"Now is not the time for that!" Becker growled.

"Stay here then." Matt suggested. He turned to Danny who had just stuffed the piece of paper back into his pocket. "You mind taking his place?"

He laughed. "You know, I was thinking the exact same thing. Soldier Boy, you're staying... that cool with you Lester?"

Lester sat himself down in his chair, massaging his head. "Yeah, sure. Whatever. Just... all of you get out of my office." he sighed.

o.O~O.o

Connor stared at the anomoly opening device as the alarm echoed around them. He sighed "Abby I'm going to stay and finish this. If I can get it working..."

"It's okay Conn. You finish it." Abby said with a small smile, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek before making her way to the main ops room.

An hour later, Connor glanced down at the finished device in his hands, wishing someone else was around to celebrate. He sighed. "Hey Abby... guess what?" he whispered through the comms.

It was quiet for a moment then Abby asked, sounding slightly out of breath What did you do Connor?

He laughed, jumping up and down in his lab. "I finished it!"

Finished wha-ohh you finished the device! That's great Conn! Oi guys Connor just created a device that can open anomolies! Abby shouted to the others.

"Woaw, wait Abby. I haven't even tried it out yet..."

She sighed Well grab Becker and a few guards and go try it out.

"You really think I should be getting Becker involved? You saw him before, he's an emotional reck right now."

Mate, I think it'd be the best thing for him right now. It might get his mind off everything. Who knows, you might even open up an anomoly that leads you guys straight to Jess Matt replied.

Connor gasped, quickly making his way down the corridors towards Becker's office. "Matt, my friend. You. Are. A. Genius!"

What did I say?

"We can open up an anomoly, follow Perry to wherever he's taken Jess, then we'll come back to this time and rescue her. That way we're not messing with the past yet we're still finding out where Jess is! You're a genius Matt, never forget that!" Connor laughed as he ran into Becker's office. He frowned when he noticed it was empty. "Where is he... ooo the gym!"

Connor was recieveing strange looks from other workers in the ARC as he ran down all the corridors and into the gym.

Becker stopped swinging at the punching bag as Connor stumbled into the room, bracing himself against his knees trying to catch his breath. "Connor... What happened?"

He held up his hand to show him the finished device that was in it. He laughed, looking up at him with glowing eyes. "I know how to find Jess!"

Happiness as promised :D :D :D :D :D Now Imma go sleep and dream up how to kill Helen and get Becker to save Jess...
