Title: the journey, and the destination.
Summary: the team get stuck in a hotel after going on an anomaly alert, jess goes with them to try out the new emd charger she made. So she gets stuck too. Jecker!
Rated: T for kissing and possibly language, if I add any bad language in it.
Spoilers: slight mentions of the incident in 4.4 but no huge give aways.
Set: in between 5.4 and 5.5, so before all the drama and end of the world and such
Disclaimer: if I owned primeval jess would have kissed Becker when he gave her chocolate season 4 episode 1. :3
Jess's P.O.V.
I woke up in the car to find my head on a soft surface and my fingers interlinked with someone else's on my shoulder, I tried to lift my head to see who it was I was laying on and I found a weight resting on my head, I noticed shortly after that Emily was looking back at me from the front of the car and looking above my head, obviously at the person above me, and mouthed 'Becker' I gasped, which seemed to wake him up, which led to me apologising repeatedly before blushing when I realised his arms where still around me and I was still holding his hand so I yanked my arm away while I blushed a deep red which I could see from the tip of my nose, either that or I had developed a bad cold in the past few seconds which was highly unlikely, even though it was the 8th of December. I realised he was telling me that it was ok, while the others were getting out of the car and heading towards the hotel after grabbing their emds, so I grabbed the case with the charger in it and headed towards the hotel with Becker not long behind me armed with an emd.
Abby's P.O.V.
We quickly found the anomaly and a total of 28 raptors roaming the empty hotel which was closed because of the forecast of heavy snow and they didn't get much in the line of business at this time of year so we were glad to find the place empty of people which meant to witnesses and no injuries which was good, I caught sight of Emily roaming the corridor and jumping when she walked up to me, I had only just appeared in her line of vision so I had obviously made her jump and she gave a glance around us so we wouldn't get the attention of any hidden raptors before whispering to me "I was thinking about jess" "what about her?" I said mentally kicking myself after realising she was probably talking about the scene in the car, which seconds later I found out she was "well, jess and Becker to elaborate, and I heard people talk of you and Connor as 'conby' so I asked matt what it meant and I also realised that as we were talking in the break room that someone saw us and muttered 'memily' so I also asked him about that" she said taking only one or two breaths in between speaking "and he said…" I said after getting over the surprise of people calling me and Connor conby "well," she began to continue, "he said that conby was a mix of your names and that memily was a mix of mine and his name" she said blushing as she whispered the word memily with a second of embarrassment before continuing speaking like normal "so what does this have to do with jess and Becker?" I asked while she looked at me like I had just asked how to count to 3 "because! If conby and memily are our names mixed with matt's and Connor's names, then their name is…" she said rolling her hand not clutching the emd in a circle as if to say 'continue' then we both shouted at the same time "JECKER!" but then a scuttling noise behind me alerted us that our sudden outburst had obviously caught the attention of the 3 raptors approaching us from a side corridor so I span around as Emily shot at the first then a second, me aiming and firing at the third which left them laying motionlessly, so we dragged the raptors up to a large room service trolley with 2 large towels on it, so we wrapped one in a blanket and tied the blanket to the back of the trolley, before wrapping a second up and leaving it to the side so one of us could drag it, before we finally managed to pull the last creature up onto the top level of the service trolley. So me, being the stronger out of me and Emily, I chose to drag the trolley and I also put a hand to the raptor she was dragging along as I saw her begin to struggle, she gave me a thankful look before turning at the sight of the small spherical ball of light in front of them, Abby reaching down to unlock the anomaly before quickly throwing in the wrapped up one Emily had brought and them throwing in the one that unconscious dinosaur from the top of the table into the light and then, deciding they didn't have time to untie the third dinosaur they just pushed the table through and Abby quickly reached down to lock the anomaly as the others all rushed to the anomaly because they heard a noise, so they had thought that another raptor had attacked unaware it was just the sounds coming through the unlocked anomaly, all traces of the sound disappearing as Abby locked it again.
Normal P.O.V.
Everyone stood in a circle in front of the anomaly as they all began to list how many creatures they had thrown through "I got seven" Becker said as matt followed with "six" and Emily said "I got four" which Abby responded to with " I got five and we got three together" she said as Emily nodded " I got one as well" Connor said looking to the floor as matt chuckled slightly but stopped when he received a death glare from Abby, who was now wrapping a soothing arm around her boyfriend's shoulders.
"that's twenty-six" muttered jess, who hadn't spoken till then "and I only got one" she continued, a look of fright on her face as the anomaly started to close "no-no, not now, just give us five minutes, please" Connor said to the anomaly, not even bothering about the looks he got from the rest of the team, but as Becker was about to say something, a raptor leapt from the shadows.
Jess's P.O.V.
I heard the growl and turned to look at where the noise had emerged from and as I turned to look straight into the eyes of - the last raptor. I shrieked and clamped my eyes shut, knowing that this was it, I was going to die…today…right now, but suddenly I felt a strong pair of arms pull me from the anomaly just as the creature had lunged at me, knocking me into the closing anomaly but luckily those arms had pulled me from it as the anomaly finally closed just as the twenty-eighth creature went back to its time. I tried to open my eyes when I realised that it was so, so, hard to do, so I tried harder, but to no avail.
Becker's P.O.V.
I dragged her out of the way before she was dragged into the anomaly, the raptor had hit her but luckily hadn't managed to drag her with it into the past, and I just sat there, cradling her in my arms like I had done in the panic room after she was bitten, but it was different this time. She didn't need simple adrenaline, she needed a miracle, this creature had just lunged at her and had probably ripped her to shreds "BECKER, BECKER!" Abby was screaming in my face "what?" I muttered, my mind hazed over as I temporarily forgot what was going on "I need to feel her pulse, Becker, she's unconscious so I need to check for a pulse" Emily's soothing voice led me into dropping my arms slightly from jess's frame as matt and Connor tried to make me let go of jess and pass her to the girls completely, I suddenly realised just how much blood was seeping from her shirt, when my head snapped back to normal "right," I said, as I had done at the arc when she was bitten "we need to get her to a hospital, now!" I continued, gently scooping jess into my arms as Emily pulled her fingers from her neck saying simply "her pulse is there, and it's steady, I think it's the shock that put her out" I breathed a sigh of relief as we began to head to the doors.

Isn't that wonderful? So I don't really like flames, but I do support constructive criticism and I don't mind how little or how much is in your review, it could be a word, a sentence, a paragraph, a smiley face or a 3 page essay, I don't mind as long as it's not just awful people being haters.
