Thanks for those who reviewed chapter 2! I forgot to put this in the past two chapters so here it goes...
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Primeval, though I wish I did. I think most people do, but I don't. And nor does Katy...as far as I know...
A dark haired woman was walking down the corridor of the ARC to the hub. She was pretty covered up. Her clothes were covered by a tan trench coat that went to her knees and dark pants. Her dark brown hair was pulled back into a ponytail and she wore a pair of dark sunglasses that covered most of the top of her face. She was so focused on the ground that she didn't notice another woman coming at her.
"Excuse me," she said as she passed her. She had fiery red hair and a very confident stride, one she remembered she had at one point…
The dark haired woman gave a silent apology. She continued walking down the corridor, passing many employees offices. She got an extremely odd look from a Chinese looking worker. Soon, she entered the hub. She looked around the hub in awe. It was even more incredible than she could imagine it would be.
"Ah you must be our new recruit," said a voice.
The dark haired woman turned her head to see Sarah Page looking at her with a curious expression.
"Do I know you?" she asked.
"I d..don't b…bel…live sssso," she said. "I'm Lily, by the way. Lily Jackson and you are?"
"Dr. Sarah Page," said Sarah. "You're probably looking for Lester. You just go up the ramp and…"
But Lily was already heading up to Lester's office, as if she already knew where it was.
"That's odd," said Sarah as she walked back to the ADD
"What's odd?" asked Becker, who was by an experiment table examining an AHD.
"The new PR Professional, Lily Jackson. She came in here and went up to Lester's office."
"Isn't that what she's supposed to do?"
"Well, yes but she didn't need any directions. She knew where it was without me telling her."
"That is a bit odd," he said.
Lily Jackson casually walked into Lester's office without knocking. Lester's face showed surprise as Lily stood there in front of him. She did not bother to take off her jacket or sunglasses.
"You must be the mysterious Lily I presume." He was bothered by all the secrecy.
"Actually James, I prefer to be called by my real name." She shrugged off her jacket and sunglasses in one swift move. Lester whispered her name in surprise.
"Jenny Lewis."
Sarah had been spying on Lily and Lester from the bottom floor of the ARC. Through the glass walls she saw the woman take off her jacket, but she was still unable to see her face, because her back was turned.
"You have some nerve Jenny, applying for your old job and accepting it without an interview, not to mention waltz in here like some sort of secret agent. I thought you had gone for good. Explain." Jenny wasn't surprised, not even a hello from her former boss.
"Well, I decided I couldn't take it anymore, every day waking up and thinking about Nick and Claudia and the ARC and the anomalies, it was too much to handle. I thought I could escape my problems by running away, but now I realize the only way to do that is to come face to face with them."
"So why all the secrecy, why couldn't you just ask for your old job back?"
"Why, wasn't it a surprise?" She smiled. Lester frowned. "Guess not then. Well, the real reason is that I believe there is a spy here, trying to infiltrate the ARC."
"And where did you get that information, have you been spying on us as well?" Lester quizzed her.
"Now, now James, all in due time. Anyways, I needed to be in here without the spy suspecting that I was on to him or her. I need everyone to act like I'm new as well. How strange would it look for a woman who quit her job and then ask for it back a month and a half later?"
"I agree. But why do you think a spy would want anything here?"
"I have no idea; the anomalies could be used for personal gain, just like the Leek incident." Lester cringed, not wanting to remember the day he was almost eaten by a future predator.
"So, what do you suppose we do?" He asked her.
"Just observe and wait. I believe the spy has already infiltrated the ARC, maybe he's been here for a while already."
"Well, that would rule out Miss Anderson, I searched her file carefully, there's nothing suspicious about her."
"Lester, anyone could be the spy, even some who have been here for years! No one is excluded in this, except for the team of course, Danny, Connor, Abby, Sarah and the Captain."
"Of course," he said.
Jenny started walking around Lester's office, talking everything in. She looked out one of the glass walls. She saw the workers at their tables and Sarah and Becker at the ADD talking, but something was missing what was it? Suddenly it hit her in the back of the head.
"By the way, where are Danny, Connor and Abby? I haven't seen them yet."
Lester had been afraid that this would come up ever since Jenny revealed herself. How was he suppose to tell her what all had happened in the past month and a half since she left? Lester took a deep breath then focused on Jenny.
"Jenny, we need to talk, a lot has happened since you've left."
Sarah gasped when she saw the mysterious woman turn around and face away from Lester.
"No, it's not possible. It can't be," she whispered to herself.
"I'm sorry," said Becker who was standing by the ADD. Sarah turned to face him.
"Becker, our new PR professional, isn't actually...new."
"What do you mean?" he asked. "Oh course she's new, how could she not be?"
Sarah pointed up towards Lester's office. Becker looked around her and squinted his eyes to get a better look. When he finally recognized who was there in the office with Lester, his jaw dropped.
"But…how?" he started, but was interrupted by Sarah.
"I don't know," she said. "How could I have not seen it? The way she came in here, her hair, how she knew where everything was. God, I'm so stupid!"
Jenny started at Lester. How could he have become so serious? Well, Lester was usually always in a serious tone, but this time, it hinted of no sarcasm. Lester gestured her to a chair in front of him.
"Please, sit, you might want to."
Jenny nodded and walked over to the chair and sat down.
"Lester, what's going on? Where are they?"
"Jenny, I don't know any other way to put this, but Danny, Connor and Abby all went into an anomaly after Helen to site 333. Danny said to unseal the anomaly after a certain period of time, and they well…they never came back."
Jenny was shocked for a moment. She replied incredulously.
"They never came back?" She shook her head. "No, no, that's not possible."
"I'm afraid it is."
"How long have they been gone."
"About a month."
Jenny put her head in her hands. She thought of Danny. "Who's been leading the team?"
"Well, no one actually, it seems to be running smoothly with Sarah and Becker in charge. Of course, with the additions of you and Ms. Anderson, things should be even more smooth."
There was a pause.
"Why?" Jenny said simply.
"What?"
"Why did they leave, why haven't they returned, why hasn't anyone DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT!" She stood up and shouted.
"Jenny, we can't lose any more men, it's too dangerous as is. They may still be alive, but there are those who need us, we can't afford to lose any more people right now."
Jenny wearily sat back down.
"I guess you're right. You can invite Sarah and Becker in here now, as they've been spying on us for about five minutes now." Lester frowned at her revelation before radioing Becker for them to come to his office.
So the identity of Lily Jackson is revealed! *gasp* It's JENNY LEWIS! How many of you saw that coming? LOL! If you notice, the way we got Jenny's disguise name, Lily Jackson, was we switched her initals; Lily Jackson, Jenny Lewis, see? So, what did you think? These few chapters are just sort of lead-ups to the BIG thing that's going to happen soon! EI! I'm so excited! PLEASE REVIEW! Those help me keep going, and they make Kathryn Hart VERY happy :D Thanks for reading!
