Hey, sorry for the long wait.

Enjoy.

Matt sped away from the traffic lights, Conner and Abby gripping their seat belts for dear life. Emily sat next to him, not scared one bit of the speed he was driving at. They had all snapped into action when Becker was taken. Jess was in a bit of a bad state when Matt and Emily had got to her flat. She wouldn't shut up about how it was all her fault. They were lost on what to do at first. They had no clue as to where Ethan was. However, Lester had come to their rescue. He had told them that he had put a tracking device on Becker, just to keep an eye on him. He had only done that after the incident with the train. Jess had jumped up and drove as fast of she could to the ARC to help them through the ADD.

Matt turned the car sharply to the left. He started to drive down a dirt track road. Matt kept his eyes fixed on the road, but Emily looked out and around. The moonlight crawled through the trees that surrounded the road they sped down. Suddenly, the car jumped up and down again. Matt didn't apologies for the fact that they just had driven over a bump in the road. Emily sighed. Matt hadn't spoken a word since he had hung up the phone when speaking to Lester. Emily wondered what went on in his head just as much as she wondered what went on in Baby Becker's.

Up ahead Emily could see a house through the trees. No, a mansion. Matt flicked the headlights off. No one spoke as he slowly drove up to it. He let the car roll to a stop. They all jumped out, EMDs in hands. They walked towards the double doors. Emily looked up and studied the mansion. It was very big. About three stories high.

Matt kicked open the door and walked in, everyone else hot on his trail. The house on the inside was far beyond unfit for human life. Most of the ceiling had come down and lay everywhere on the floor. Plaster on the wall hung off, threatening to fall to the ground like many of pieces already had. Dust lay everywhere like snow in winter and spiders cobwebs owned the building there were so many. Matt walked ahead of the others and looked at the stairs. They looked okay, but other steps looked like they were ready to break. Matt started to walk up the stairs slowly. They creaked slightly, but Matt made it to the top without anything breaking. Abby and Emily followed up after him, Conner still looking around on the ground floor. Abby hissed for Conner to hurry up. Conner jumped up the stairs after them, sounding like an elephant as he went. He got to the last three steps before one of the stairs broke. Conner's left leg went straight through the stair, wood crashing down on something below. Matt put his hand to his head and shook his head. Conner yanked his leg back out of the hole it was stuck in making it worse. The sound of more wood falling to the floor, echoed throughout the house. Conner mouthed "sorry" at the team. Abby sighed, not caring less and walked off down the hall on the first floor.

Matt walked after her. Emily held her hand out to help Conner up the stairs. Once he got up the stairs he and Emily walked after Abby and Matt. Matt and Abby were checking in every room along the corridor. Emily and Conner stood still and watched the pair search for Becker like they were his own parents. It was quite shocking to see how they both cared for Becker. Very shocking considering Matt was looking harder than Abby was. Matt suddenly came back out of a room and whispered for them to come over. They walked into the room and looked around. They saw very quickly, why Matt wanted them to look in this room. There was a light trail of Digestive crumbs on the floor. Emily smiled to herself. Good old Becker to leave a trail for them, good old him. Abby followed the trail first, Matt second, then Conner. Emily stuck behind. Abby lifted a sheet that hung from the ceiling out of her way and she walked forward. Light from the moon sprayed across the room. Papers were scattered all over the floor. On the window ledge was an empty bottle of milk, Digestive packet rappers plus crumbs and a small bottle of whisky. By the window ledge, was a cot. Abby rushed over to it and a look of relief washed over her face.

"Becker," she sighed. Matt and Conner rushed over. They all smiled, as Becker was fast asleep, not stirring or crying, just sleeping peacefully. Abby went to pick him up, but the sound of a gun clicking stopped her.

"I wouldn't."

Matt knew the voice that spoke. They turned round to see Ethan with a gun to Emily's head. Matt tensed for a second before relaxing.

"Let her go Ethan," Matt said. He took a few steps forward, but Ethan didn't like that and dug the gun into Emily's head a little bit more. Matt stopped walking and raised his hands, saying that he would do no harm. Abby and Conner stayed by Becker. Matt saw Emily's scared face. She always seemed so brave, always taking charge when there was no leader, not afraid of anything, but really, she was terrified. Terrified of Ethan and his gun. He was her only fear and he liked that. A moment of silence came over the two men, neither knowing what to say next. However, Abby wasn't in any mood for nothing to be said.

"What did you do to Becker?"

Matt frowned turning to face her. Becker was fine, what was she on about?

"He was crying like hell was inside of him and now he's sleeping like an angel. What did you do?" She asked again. Matt understood what she was on about then. Becker had been crying badly when he had phoned. Why was he so quiet now? Ethan smiled.

"What do you think the whiskey's for?" he replied.

Conner's eyebrows rose. "Well that's one way to deal with Becker. Thanks for the heads up." Abby wacked Conner's arm. Becker gave a little whimper of laughter from inside the cot. Conner leaned over it. "You like that don't ya mate? Typical of you." Abby hit Conner again. Becker gave a small laugh, as did Ethan. Matt turned his attention back to him.

"Bet this was all a big trap. Take Becker, lead us here, and snatch Emily." Matt only said what was on his mind. Ethan's smile grew wider and he started to laugh. His laugh got louder and more violent.

"Nowhere near right Anderson. I wanted the boy, Little Baby Becker."

"You mean this wasn't a trap?"

"Nope," he said popping the 'p'. "However, since you are here, I can kill you." Ethan pointed his gun at Matt and fired, throwing Emily viciously to the side. She fell over, hitting her head hard on a brick, causing her to fall unconscious. Matt jumped out of the way of the bullet, as did Abby who was behind him. Conner ducked down to the side. Matt opened fired and aimed for Ethan three times. All three bullets missed. Matt cursed. Becker wouldn't have missed a target as easy as that.

Ethan moved forward, firing at whomever he could see. Matt tried to shoot back, as did Abby. Conner just hid behind the curtains. Suddenly, Conner saw his chance; he aimed his gun, looked away, closed his eyes and pulled the trigger. The EMD's bullet blasted across the room. It hit Ethan's gun, sending it flying. Conner looked impressed with himself. Matt dropped his gun and ran at Ethan. He swung his fist straight into Ethan's face, making him spin away. Before Matt could hit Ethan again, a roar exploded through the mansion. Matt looked at Conner and Abby who both stared back. Ethan took his chance. He grabbed both of Matt's legs and lifted him upwards then threw him onto the floor a metre or so away from him.

"Deal with whatever that is," Matt shouted at his team. "I've got Ethan." Abby and Conner nodded and left the room. Matt jumped up and ran at Ethan again.

Conner and Abby ran into the hall, both skidding to a halt. Abby saw the creature first. It was the Scorpion from the future. How it got here was one thing, but the other was how they were going to take it down.

The creature shot a dart from its tail at them. It missed Abby by less than an inch. It wobbled like an arrow in the floor next to her right foot. As ever, Conner was about to ask what they were going to do, but Abby had a little idea. She sprinted forward. She jumped onto a large part of fallen down ceiling and jumped off it onto the creature's back. Before the creature could reach, Abby grabbed its stinger carefully, jumped off its back, bent the stinger backwards and stabbed it into the floor. The creature cried out in pain. It hit the walls, causing them to come down. Conner stayed a good distance back and so did Abby. Suddenly, the creature brought its stinger back up out of the floor, bringing a big lump of the floor with it. The lump of floor hit Abby in the face, forcing her to hit the wall and fall down. The creature ran through into another room, but Conner didn't care. He rushed to Abby's aid.

Becker was happy sleeping. However, Ethan and Matt's fight had woken him. Becker looked through the crib bars to see them punching one another. Becker smiled and clapped his small, soft hands together, enjoying the show. Suddenly, Becker heard a roar. He recognised the roar and his stomach started to hurt. Becker didn't like it when his stomach hurt. He didn't like it when anything hurt. Becker saw the top of the crib and tried to reach for it. He reached and reached and reached and before Becker knew it, he was standing up, holding onto the edge of the crib. He looked down and back up at Matt and Ethan. Ethan kneed Matt in the stomach and threw him against the wall. Becker laughed at that, but both men were too worked up trying to hurt one another to notice him. Becker climbed over the crib and dropped himself onto the floor. He then started to crawl towards the roars.

Meanwhile, Matt punched Ethan again. He went to do it again, but Ethan grabbed his hand and twisted it behind Matt's back. He then rammed Matt into the wall. Matt swung his leg around Ethan and made him fall backwards. Matt rolled off Ethan and went to kick him, but Ethan grabbed his leg and pulled him to the floor. Ethan climbed to his feet, as did Matt. Both men were extremely tired and really wanted the other one to fall to the floor, but they both stood strong.

Meanwhile, Becker had made his way into the other room across the hall. He had seen Abby and Conner, but didn't stop to grab their attention. Becker sat in the middle of the room looking around in wonder. It was bigger than the other room he had just been in, a bit less dusty too. A small groan from behind caught Becker's attention. He turned himself round on his bottom with his small hands to face the creature.

Becker knew it was dying. Bending its tail back was like snapping a human's spin in two. However, when you snap a person's spin, they die there and then, but with bending the creature's tail backwards, it dies slowly. Becker watched its eyes blink sideways at him. It slumped down in front of him. It whimpered like a hurt dog.

Becker reached his hand out and placed it on one of the creature's pincers.

"Forgiven," he said calmly. The creature closed its eyes, and then a few moments later opened them again. It swerved its broken tail round so it was in front of Becker. The creature brought it slowly down and dug it into Baby Becker's small shoulder. Becker's eyes started to water as his shoulder felt like it was on raging fire. The creature withdraw its tail and closed its eyes, never to open them again. Becker fought back a cry as he felt the creature's venom race through him...

Abby and Conner walked into the room where Ethan and Matt were still fighting. Both men were gasping for air now. Abby and Conner walked over to Emily. They shook her slightly and she awoke. Emily looked up at Matt and Ethan.

"What on..." her voice trailed off as her head started to hurt badly.

Matt punched Ethan again. Ethan flew backwards and landed on his back. However, what Ethan saw next to him blew his mind. His gun. How lucky was that? His gun! Ethan grabbed it and jumped to his feet. He pointed it at Matt. Everyone froze as all their lives could be over in four simple pulls of the trigger.

"Should have kept that gun on you Anderson." Ethan clicked the gun and Matt prepared for the impact of the bullet. He closed his eyes, but not tight, as he was not afraid. However, it never came. The sound of wood being smashed sounded in the room, a thud of a body falling to the floor echoed. Matt opened his eyes and a huge grin spread across his face.

There stood Becker with a sheet wrapped round him, making him look like a Roman. He dropped the broken bit of wood that he had hit Ethan with. He looked down at Ethan for a moment then up at his friends. He smiled, as if nothing had ever happened.

"Becker, mate..." Matt started to laugh lightly. He bent over, hands on his knees, trying to get his breath back. Abby and Emily ran up to him and hugged him tight. Becker groaned.

"Oh sorry, did that hurt?" Emily asked, her Victorian English accent ringing in Becker's ear.

"No, no... I'm... Fine..." Becker fell forward into both women's arms unconscious. Matt and Conner rushed over. Matt pressed against his earpiece and instructed Jess sharply:

"We need medics NOW!"
