'Jess, what way do we go next?'
'Take the next left and the anomaly should be in the football field to your left.'
Connor rolled his eyes from the back of the car, and leant forward to speak to Becker. 'Becker, she's said that like four times already. What's wrong with you today?'
'Connor, I swear, if you speak one more time, I will throw you out of the car. Ok?'
Abby stepped in before Connor got hurt. 'Alright Becker, calm down. Connor shut up, you going to get yourself into trouble. Look, we're here now, the anomaly is over there. '
The team had been called out on an anomaly alert during their lunch, and no one seemed too happy about it. Connor still was groggy from his heavy drinking a few days ago, and Abby seemed annoyed at him, constantly running around for him, as he is too 'ill' to do anything himself. Becker had been in a foul mood this morning, as he headed straight to the armoury this morning, to find the night shift had left all of his weapons strewn everywhere. Jess had been given way too much paperwork from Lester, to be completed and filed away by the end of the day. Matt and Emily seemed ok, although Emily still was angry at Matt for not picking her up from Jess' house the other night. Lester had a meeting with the Minister that morning, and no one but Jess knew what for, but everyone did know that it hadn't gone well, because he had returned in such a mood, he would have scared the future predators away.
As the team got out of the car, Connor sulked and fetched the locking device from the other side. Becker felt a tiny bit guilty about upsetting Connor, but he didn't show it; he just lightly slapped Connor's back when they passed each other, and hoped he took it as an apology.
'Jess, has there been an incursion?' Abby looked around the football pitch, and realised Jess would've hacked into the four cameras in each corner of the gate.
'A few creatures came through, small, fluffy guinea pig type things, four of them did, but they went back through the anomaly.' Jess' voice floated through comms. Becker softened a little. Her voice. It's beautiful. He shook his mind free, and started ordering his men around; to search the premises, while Connor was setting up the locking device. When the soldiers came back giving the all clear, it was up to Matt to take action.
'Right, Connor, lock the anomaly. Then we can leave a team down here to guard the anomaly until it closes. Jess, do you know if any games are scheduled here today?'
'No, I've already checked Matt. No events are at the field for three days. It's all clear.'
'Ok Jess, good work thank you.'
Connor was in the final steps of locking the anomaly, when Abby cried out at the same time as he pressed the final button.
'No! Don't lock it Connor, a creature has just come through!'
'Where?' Matt shouted. 'I can't see anything. Are you sure Abby?'
'Of course I'm sure! I'm not an idiot Matt! It's just run off by Becker.'
Becker looked exasperated, and turned, his EMD facing the ground, searching for the creature. Connor and Emily joined him, in searching for the creature.
'Jess,' Matt began. 'Can you keep eyes on the anomaly? Abby, stay with the locking device. Emily, Connor, search the perimeter, triple check for any creatures.'
The members of the team followed Matt's orders, and continued to search.
Matt followed Becker's direction, until it was just them in one corner of the field. He took his earpiece out and motioned that Becker did too.
'Is everything alright mate?' Matt asked, concerned at Becker's anger towards Connor in the car.
'Yes. Everything's fine.' Becker clearly wanted to end the conversation there, but Matt apparently didn't.
'You just seem a bit… off. That's all. Is it too much pressure at work?'
'No, it's, it's just. The other shifts need to learn to put things away, when finished with things. The armoury was a mess this morning Matt. Jess was upset this morning too. They have corrupted some files on the ADD. Seriously, they are useless. Something needs to be done about it.'
'Alright mate, I'll speak to Lester when we get back. I didn't realise they caused this much trouble.' Matt slapped Becker on the back, and put his earpiece back in, signalling the conversation was over.
Connor and Emily were slowly walking around the pitch, eyes glued to the floor, searching for this guinea pig type creature, as Jess described it. Emily looked up and sighed. 'You know, we've already gone round two times?'
Connor looked up too. 'Ugh. This is so boring. I just want to go back to the ARC and have a ni…'
'Over here!' Connor looked over to Matt and Becker, and ran over with Emily.
They had managed to corner the creature, and now were guiding it back to the anomaly. When they were close enough, Abby reopened it and Matt, who was in the middle of Connor and Becker, lunged forward, pushing it back through the anomaly.
Abby relocked it, and Connor and Becker flew into each other, not realising that matt had moved forward. They landed in a heap on top of each other, resulting in laughs from the rest of the team, Jess included, who had witnessed the accident from above.
Matt, helped Connor up from off Becker, who looked like he was going to kill somebody. 'You alright mate, didn't get hurt did you?'
Connor brushed himself off, and helped Becker up. 'Nah, I'm fine Matt thanks. Just let us know next time you're going to do that, ok?'
'You know, me or Becker could have seriously hurt ourselves if we weren't there for each other. We make a good team, eh?' Connor said, once again, receiving death stares from Becker.
Becker just smiled a little shocking everyone, and said 'Well, it helps me that you are such as idiot Temple.'
'Right ok. Well, you know how I'm such an idiot, and I'm getting married, and we make a good team?'
'Yeah, emphasis on the idiot part.'
'I want, I mean will you,' Connor sighed. This was harder than I thought it would be. 'Becker, will you be my best man?'
It felt like time stood still for Becker. What the hell did Connor just ask him? To be his best man. Well, he wasn't expecting that. He felt weirdly emotional. Not that he was going to let the group know. Becker realised he hadn't said anything yet, and the team were all looking at him expectantly.
'Err, well, errm, I suppose, i should stop you from doing anything stupid. Because you will. It doesn't mean I like you any more though.' Becker rambled on, a slight grin on his face. Connors surprised Becker again by hugging him in front of everyone, and whispering in his ear 'Plus, you'll never guess who the maid of honour is going to be?' He then stepped back from Becker, a suggestive look on his face.
After the anomaly had been locked again, and soldiers were assigned to stay until it closed, the team made their way back to the car. Matt stopped and the others looked back at him.
'Connor, I'm a bit angry you didn't ask me. I'm much more likeable than Becker you know.'
Becker stopped too, and grinned at Mat. 'You know, he's right. If he doesn't get his own way, he won't hesitate to shoot you.' Matt grinned widely at Becker, the memories still fresh in his mind. They continued walking to the car, and drove back to the ARC.
No one mentioned, but everyone seemed to be in a better mood following the anomaly alert. Upon arrival at the ARC, the core team went and enjoyed their lunch together, in high spirits.
Thanks for reading guys. Please review, it would really mean a lot to me. I hope you enjoyed it, and don't forget if you have any ideas for my other story, Becker and Jess deleted scenes, please PM me. Love you guys! xx
