What is this? Two chapters in one day? Yes, I felt bad that I gave you such a shortie, and since this chapter is also such a shortie, I figured, "What the heck?" and just posted it. Anywho, I'll let you get the actually reading it. ENJOY!
Disclaimer: Don't own Primeval, it's as simple as that.
NOTE: Chapter 7 to chapter 8 is a month later. I know chapter 6 to chapter 7 skipped a week and this time it's a month, but while prof-reading it, I realized that there was a HUGE mistake. To, in order for the whole story to make sense, I put in, "One month later". I'm so sorry to those who hate this, but it had to be done.
A month passed and a lot had happened. The ARC had more calls than ever before. The first call with Melina was a complete disaster. Yes, Melina was good with the Technology, but she really messed up, probably from pressure.
First, Melina was able to cease the alert alarms, but she accidentally erased the coordinates. So they had to track the anomaly using the AHDs, which took forever. By the time they got to the anomaly, one creature got out, but it was a small one and completly harmless. They did seal the anomaly without any creatures coming through, but when Melina packed up the ASD, she left parts of it at the site. But after that, all of the calls went very smoothly.
Sarah and Melina didn't get well at all. They basically ignored each other, but when they did have to do stuff together, all they would do is bicker. Melina still would constantly flirt with Captain Becker which annoyed Sarah even more. So, as a result, she only would talk to Jenny and Becker when Melina wasn't with him…which was never.
One day, Melina did something that Sarah though she would never do. It was a normal day. Sarah did her work, visited Jenny, and tried to visit Becker, but found Melina in his office, awfully close to him. She decided to leave and work on Cutter's model.
She entered the annex to her office. It was one of the only rooms in the entire facility that wasn't entirely made of glass. She turned on the lights and Cutter's model came into view. The model wasn't entirely done, there were a few curved rods here and there, but that was it. Most of the room was covered in research papers.
"Hey Sarah," Melina said.
Sarah whipped her head around and saw Melina standing in the doorway of the room. She was observing the area very thoroughly. Sarah quickly walked out of the room, turning off the lights and shutting the door behind her.
"What?" she asked, slightly annoyed.
"We kind of started off on the wrong foot when I came to work here; do you want to try again?" Sarah was a little surprised and confused, but she didn't argue.
"Yeah sure," she said.
"Do you want to catch some lunch tomorrow?" Melina offered.
"Uhm, okay." She was uncomfortable with the thought of being alone with Melina, but she was willing to give it a go. She turned around and missed Melina's evil smile.
Sir James Lester looked up quite surprised to see Jenny enter his office without an invitation.
"James we need to talk."
"If it's important, I suppose," said Lester motioning to a chair in front of his desk.
Jenny did as she was told and sat down.
"Okay, I've been narrowing down the suspects to three people; Ms Anderson, Andrew Terrance, and June Cho. Anyways, as I was thinking of ways to rule some out and something occurred that I think could be crucial. James did you tell Ms Anderson what all out acronym mean?"
"Oh course I did," said Lester sounding a bit outraged. "Do you think I'd have her talking around the ARC like a confused mime not knowing half of what people were saying?" He took a deep breath and calmed down a bit. "Why asking?"
Jenny relaxed a bit and gave a small smile at her boss's outburst. Classical Lester.
"Good, I was just a bit surprised that she knew what Sarah was saying while talking with all the acronyms very fast."
Lester sighed in frustration.
"Don't you think you could possibly be taking this spy matter a bit too seriously?" he asked.
"Better to be safe than sorry James."
As Jenny walked down the ramp back towards her office, she sighed in frustration. She was no closer to a conclusion than she had been when she first came back. Maybe she should get some help. Or even better, she could check out this place where Danny, Abby and Connor were last seen, to clear her mind. Something about a racetrack she'd heard. Maybe Sarah should come with her. She would've asked Becker, but they hadn't been on good terms since the first "Melina/Becker" incident. And after seeing more and more of it lately, she was afraid she would really give him "what for" if she saw him again.
Okay, I hope you liked the "double whammy" today. LOL! I know I did. PLEASE REVIEW! Love those things!
