prompt - Jess watching over Becker.

Becker pounded through the back alley after the creature,. He followed as it disappeared around a corner, only to run into an 8 foot wall blocking his path. The creature was nowhere to be seen. He needed to contain this incursion before it made it onto the busy streets of London.
"Jess, I lost it, the alleyways are blocked. I can't track it on foot, I need eyes in the sky. Can Lester authorize a helicopter fast enough?"
"No need, Captain. Give me a tick." Within moments Jess was connected to the CCTV network that watched over London. Soon the many screens before her showed different angles of the block where Becker hunted.
"Got it. It's circled back towards the anomaly. Go back to the last turning and head south-southwest till I tell you to stop."
Jess watched the feeds, tracking Becker as he followed her directions, trying not to blush when one gave a rather spectacular view of his bum.
A blur flashed by on a screen. And another.
She gasped. "Becker, stop!" He skid to a halt, settling into a reflexive crouch, his EMD primed. "There's more. More have come through the anomaly. We're pulling you out. Backup is on its way. The creatures are trying to flank you. I'll watch your six and guide you to your rendezvous point with Captain Henshaw."
Becker tried to respond to Jess' voice in his ear but she cut him off. He ought to have known he would regret explaining the various military terms she picked up over her comms or from the telly.
"Do not give me that look, Captain Becker. Personnel safety comes first, that is your rule. If you like, I can get Lester in here to make it an order.'
His sharp eyes quickly located the camera trained on him and as he gazed it, Jess almost felt he could see her from where he looked out of her screen. With a rueful shake of his head, he stood and began to retreat.
