Okay, I decided to give you all the next chapter today, because it's a short one too. Not as short as the last one, it's about twice as long. ENJOY!
Jenny slowly opened her eyes. The first thing that hit her was a splitting head ache.
"Ugg," she groaned, trying to stretch but was restrained by the wires. "What the…?"
Jess noticed that Jenny had woken up. She left Sarah's side and helped Jenny free of the wires, but Jenny was in a daze. She looked over her shoulder and saw Becker on the ground in a pool of blood. Her heart instantly sunk. She grieved for her friend Sarah. She wasn't sure if they shared their feelings yet or not, but even if they did…
"There you are," said Jess, finishing with the wires.
Jenny got up and was about to thank her when she saw who she was about to thank.
"You," she said in disgust, "you're the one who infiltrated the ARC! You planned this."
"No, that wasn't me!" said Jess. "I was captured by Helen and cloned multiple times. You might have known one of them, an Andrea Melina Anderson?"
Jenny fell silent.
"Anyways, Helen's had me locked up for months."
"Where is she now?" asked Jenny.
Jess used her pistol and pointed to the limp female body on the ground.
"Then, who shot Be…"
"That was Helen," said Jess. "Becker was trying to stop me from shooting her in the first place, and Helen used the time to pull out a gun and…" she trailed off.
Jenny nodded. She looked down at Becker, pale and lifeless. At Sarah, who was mourning of a loss loved one. Then, she noticed all the dead clones that she guessed the two had shot before Melina showed up."
"I'm Jess, by the way," said Jess. "Not Melina and you are?"
"Jenny Lewis," said Jenny, "pleasure."
Jenny then bent down next to Sarah and put an arm around her.
"Shh," she cooed. "It's okay."
"Oh Jenny," she said. "Now I know how you felt when…" she trailed off.
"You have it worse," said Jenny, "he actually said his feelings to you. You know he loved you."
This just made Sarah sobbed harder. Jenny kept on trying to sooth her. Jess stood awkwardly in the back watching the scene. She wasn't sure if she should help them out or just stand there. Soon, she calmed down a bit.
"We should probably get going," said Jenny. "If the three of us work together, we should be able to carry Becker out back to the ARC.
Sarah silently got up and walked away into the darkness. Jenny wasn't exactly sure of what she was doing, so she and Jess started to try to lift him, but had a hard time.
"Sarah," called Jess. "We could REALLY use your help."
Sarah came out of the shadows with a smile…or…a bit of a smile. Sadness sill longed in her eyes. The others noticed she had something in her hand.
"What do you have there?" asked Jenny.
Sarah held out a small, glass rectangle with a screen and buttons. She punched in a few things in the buttons and pointed it to an empty area. Instantly, an anomaly appeared in that area.
"An anomaly creator?" asked Jenny.
"Yeah," said Sarah, sadness still in her voice. "Helen's been using this for a while. That usually comes to her advantage."
"I would think," said Jess.
On three, the three girls carefully lifted Captain Becker off the ground and they quickly walked towards the anomaly. They walked through the blinding light for what seemed like eternity. When they got on the other side, the ARC hub came into view.
There greeting was not the best though. About a dozen soldiers surrounded the anomaly with their guns pointed at them. Once they noticed the unconcious Captain, they instantly dropped their weapons and ran to their leader's aid. The men took Becker and quickly rushed him to the Medical Bay.
"What the hell happened?" asked a very annoyed voice.
Jenny and Sarah cringed. They knew their boss would be too happy with their war story, even though they did find Sarah and kill Helen Cutter. The three girls turned slowly and looked at their enraged boss.
So, they all made it back, safe and sound...or...sort of. Who knows what Lester will do to them :P. Anyways, there're about two more chapters left to wrap things up. REVIEW! Thanks!
