Chapter 7
Connor is sat in Jess' flat, looking on the internet at what sorts of things he had missed in the year he was away when he gets an idea and types 'creature sightings' into a search engine. It comes up with a website called area 51 creatures, he searches the site and eventually comes across a profile of the man who created the site, his old university friend Duncan.
"Oh my God, Duncan"
Connor then closes down the computer and looks at his son, saying "Come on Nicky, we're going to go and search for an old friend of mine"
A little while later Connor arrive at a rundown building without Nicky and opens up the metal gates that surround the building before going inside.
Inside it is dark, damp and not very well lit, making his way, carefully down the corridor, Connor finally arrives at Duncan's door and knocks on it. Moments later it is cautiously opened, with the chain on and Duncan peeps his head around to find his old friend standing infront of him.
"Hello Duncan"
"Show me some ID"
"This is my ID" replies Connor pointing at his own face.
"How did you find me?"
"I went to your mum's, left my son with her, you know she's worried about you"
"You have a son!"
"Yeah, his name's Nicholas Stephen, we call him Nicky, I can show you a picture of him if you want, but only if you let me in".
"I don't know"
"Go on mate, it's me"
"Ok, hold on"
Duncan then takes the chain off the door and allows Connor inside where he finds a dark and littered place, it looks as though it hasn't been cleaned in a very long time as there are boxes and papers all over the place.
"Duncan, mate, how long have you lived here?"
"A while"
"That explains the smell" whispers Connor to himself.
"Where have you been Connor, you weren't around, I couldn't find you?"
"I was away, for a very long time and long way away, but enough about me, what have you been up to"
"Searching for proof"
"Of what?"
"I was there where Tom died, I saw the Dodo's and they're not the only creatures, are they? Everyone said I was crazy, but I knew I wasn't so I went searching and look at what I found" answers Duncan, proudly indicating his wall of research on the creatures and anomalies.
"Wow, that's quite something"
"Come on, I can show you, it's not far"
"What isn't?"
Twenty minutes or so later Duncan leads Connor into an abandoned warehouse by the side of the docks.
"Look, it's over here" says Duncan, leading Connor further in.
"Duncan, what are we doing here?"
"Look, just round that corner, I think it's a creatures nest"
Connor then goes around the corner and sees the shredded body of a man, he turns back to Duncan and tells him "Duncan, get out of here, now"
"What is it, let me see"
"Trust me, you do not want to see what's there"
"But the people have to know"
Duncan then pushes past Connor and sees the body, stopping in his tracks.
"Seen it" says Connor.
"Yeah"
"Okay then, let's go"
They walk a way a little bit and Connor says "Abby needs to see this".
"The hot blonde?"
"Yeah"
Connor then dials Abby's number.
