Parts in bold from the episodes.
Set 3.9 and 3.10
"Where the hell is Danny" Lester yelled from the top of the stairs looking round and letting his eyes come to rest on Becker and
Sarah.
No-one answered other than a few shrugs
"Great" Lester replied sarcastically and returned to the office
Becker turned to Sarah. "Do you know anything?" He asked
"Haven't seen him this morning" Sarah replied, deliberately avoiding his eye.
As she glanced up and Becker quirked an eyebrow.
"What I haven't" She insisted.
They were casually chatting when they were interrupted by the blare of the Anomaly Detector. They ran over to get the information
before heading for the trucks. Just as they had finished loading equipment and were getting ready to leave, Abby and Connor raced
in.
"What we got?" Abby asked
"Woodland outside town" Becker replied as they piled in.
"Where's Danny?" Connor asked noticing his absence.
"Why does everyone keep asking me?" Sarah snapped.
"Sorry...just asking" Connor held up his hands in defence before texting Danny and starting the truck.
.
The anomaly was crazy and Sarah stood with Becker as Abby ushered the animals towards the anomaly. Danny pulled up behind them
and they glanced back at him, noticing the girl.
"Who's she?" Sarah asked quietly.
"Dunno" Becker replied jumping down. "Quinn. Who is she?" He quizzed a mixture of surprise and curiosity.
"Long story" Danny replied looking round to gauge the situation and glancing up at Sarah who was deliberately looking the other
way. "Where's Connor?"
Becker filled Danny in and eventually Sarah joined them. Danny smiled at her as placed a casual hand on her back. He was puzzled
when Sarah didn't look round at him and edged away rather than towards him.
As the anomaly closed, they all sprang into action and Danny was gone again.
They all stopped to draw breath once the animals had gone back through the strange woman's anomaly. Sarah watched him with her.
There was something about her and the way Danny seemed to trust her that Sarah didn't like. It was not just his hand on the woman's
arm that unsettled her. The look in Danny's eyes as he gave her the book made her think that this was more than just another woman.
As he left she wanted to go after him and find out more. Something was not right and Danny was in the middle of it.
Becker roused her from her thoughts with a gentle hand on her arm. "You OK?" He sounded concerned.
"Yeah I'm fine" She forced a quick smile at him.
"We'll get sorted here and find out what's happening." He tried to reassure her.
"What's that?" Connor asked joining them
"Her book" Sarah replied "Danny wants me to have a look at it"
Becker brushed his hand across her arm and patted Connor's shoulder as he went of to organise his men.
.
The standoff began just as they arrived back at the ARC, with everything starting to drop into place. Danny looked at Sarah as the
woman spoke. Sarah met his eyes accepting the unspoken apology and offing one of her own.
"Where the chaos begins" Helen had said and that certainly described the way the day was unfolding. Helen and the artefact were
gone and Christine was dead, at the jaws of that thing. Danny talked of the future and it was easy for Sarah to understand the hatred
they all had for those beasts. Danny grabbed her hand as they followed the others from the room
"Sarah..."
"It's OK. Come on. We have a job to do"
They stood in front of the race track anomaly all bracing themselves for what was to come. Now was not the time for
the anomaly detectors to start bleeping. But it did. Danny took a couple of steps away from the others and ran his hand
back through his hair.
"Danny, you need to make the call" Connor stated.
Danny looked around at them as he worked out various possibilities in his head. In the end the decision was easy. Connor and Abby
knew these creatures, they had knowledge and worked well together. Sarah hated creatures and would struggle with the future world.
He didn't want to leave her but she did better with people. Becker would follow orders and could be relied on to go anywhere, and he
would take care of Sarah. As he relayed the instructions the panic within Sarah built until it was not only evident on her face but she
could not hold it in any longer.
"Danny, I want to go with you" Something was wrong. All of this felt really bad.
He looked into her eyes and grabbed her hand, for a moment forgetting the others were all there watching.
"Look, I need you do this for me."
"But what if you..." She tried to make him understand her fears.
"Look, no-one's saying goodbye here" He finally dragged his gaze from Sarah to reassure Abby too. Also he didn't
trust his resolve if he did not break contact with Sarah at that moment, even though he was still rubbing her knuckles
with his thumb. He gave her a final set of instructions and touched her cheek, about to add something more personal
when Becker handed him his gun. The anomaly opened and with a deep breath Abby and Connor stepped through.
Danny looked back, raised the gun to Becker and gave Sarah a wink, with that he was gone. Sarah felt very emotional
as she closed the anomaly and stood up. Danny was gone and she was not sure she would ever see him again.
She felt Becker's hand on her back and she vaguely remembered a conversation about Johnson's HQ before he kindly but firmly led
her away. The rest went in a blur, surviving on wits and speed as they were attacked. Sarah was grateful for Becker's cool head under
fire as they slid down the wall to the floor looking at the still smoking insects.
Becker called for back up as the got their breath back before looking across at Sarah's far away look.
"So you and Quinn, eh?" He smirked trying to lighten the mood a little.
Sarah rolled her eyes and looked across at him and eventually smiled. "You noticed?"
"Sarah, I am a trained soldier. I get paid to notice things"
"How long have you known?" Sarah quizzed
"A while. How long has it been?"
Sarah looked up at him with a crafty grin "Not long. The others?"
Becker grinned "Haven't got a clue." He stood up slowly and held his hand out to her to help her to her feet "Come on, let's go find
the anomaly."
