The anomaly site was cold, really cold and the cold weather gear wasn't enough.
Nick shivered inside his jacket as he looked over the weather maps. He felt Stephen shift behind him as he looked over Nick's shoulder.
"There's not been a single day over freezing here for more then three weeks. No reptile is going to come through from tropical Jurassic to freezing England, most of the mammals would probably stay put as well." Nick nodded in agreement as he surreptitiously leant back into Stephen's warmth.
There was a crashing in the brush to their right and they were immediately on their feet. Stephen was opening his mouth to call one of the soldiers when Connor stumbled out from behind a bush, arms loaded with wood.
Nick stalked over to him as Stephen laughed.
"What do you think you were doing?" Nick accused as he looked Connor over, searching for injuries. Connor just looked confused and hefted his pile of wood.
"Collecting firewood, it's cold." Nick sighed as Stephen snickered in the background.
"Anything could be out there." Connor's face fell and he looked sheepish.
"Sorry."
Nick just shook his head and looked at Stephen who just kept laughing.
