Chapter 9

In the ARC, Jess is looking at a car moving erratically on the screen - it's Matt's car.

"Matt, please respond"

Then she looks over her shoulder at Becker and tells him that Matt has to be up to something so he walks over and joins her at the desk while she runs through her theory of what he is up to.

"There's nothing, no anomalies" says Becker looking at his pad.

"Well he's definitely chasing something"

"Yeah, or being chased. Listen, I'm gonna put a team together, go down there, you keep trying him"

Meanwhile in Matt's car with Connor in the front and Duncan in the back, they are trailing the creature when Matt reaches into the glove box and hands Connor an earpiece, saying that he'll need it. Matt then calls Jess to tell her that there is a creature incursion and Becker says she's brilliant before he heads out.

With Abby, who is checking the perimeter of the building, she is walking along when she hears a big splash, she runs towards the sound and sees the creature underwater as it swims away.

"It's in the water, heading out into the harbour" she informs over the earpiece.

"Can we track it by road?"

"No, but I'm on it" answers Abby as she runs towards a boat she's seen on the dock.

What does she means she's on it? No, she wouldn't. Abby don't you dare"

"Connor I'll be fine"

"You better"

"Save the dispute for later guys"

"Right, sorry"

"Abby, can you see it"

"Hold on"

After a few moments of scanning the water she spots the creature and sees that it is heading for the container port, which she tells everyone.

As Matt and Connor arrive at the port they listen out for the creature and hear it aboard the ship to their left, they heard on board while Duncan also gets out of the car and stays put.

Matt and Connor begin searching the ship for the creature when Abby tells them she is aboard and heading to the bridge to try and spot the creature from above. When she gets there she tells the captain to abandon ship.

"Who the hell are you?" he questions.

"Look down there, Matt, I see it, it's on the forward deck, we're sounding the alarm"

Are you sure Abby he says after both him and Connor arrive to see no creature.

"Do you think it went overboard?" asks Connor

"Nah, we'd have heard it, right I'm going to the hold"

"I'll double check this deck"

"I thought you were supposed to be fired"

"I'm working out my notice" replies Connor as him and Matt leave the deck from opposite sides.

Matt heads into the hold and sees a guy working, using a welding torch, he can't hear him as Matt shouts at him to run away. Finally the man hears him and Matt shouts that he needs to get out of there right away, but the man doesn't respond, having seen the creature from over Matt's shoulder jumping down the containers, he runs away while the creature stalks closer and closer to the ARC's Team Leader.

Suddenly the creature goes down, Matt then sees Becker a little ways across the room aiming an EMD at the Boar Croc.

"Sorry I'm late, I hit all the red lights"
