'Terra Nova' (actually an alright show, reminds me a bit of Primeval/Jurassic Park) gave me a couple of ideas about where to take this so I thought I should update before I go to bed. It jumps around a bit since I really don't want to go over 40 chapters. I think I may have over done Connor a bit too :D Sorry about any mistakes :D Don't own anything except the plot, my OCs and the 'ARC' :D

Enjoy :P

"Temple, would you quit staring at me like that." Becker growled as he unzipped his life jacket.

The older man continued to smirk. "You so love her."

"What?" Becker tilted his head to the side and frowned. He didn't think he had heard right, but the devious glint in the geeks eye was enough proof to set his thoughts straight. He sighed and continued with his jacket, his voice low and controlled "It's for her own good."

"You pushing her away? Or making her stay at the hotel?"

Becker fully turned his head and saw all traces of humor vanish from Connor's face. He was serious. This is a first.

"Making her stay at the hotel was a good choice but you could have been a bit gentler about it. I don't want to see her get hurt either."

Becker rolled his eyes and jumped off his jetskii, pulling it up the beach to the edge of the trees. Connor quickly followed, pulling his up and helping cover them with fallen branches.

Connor hooked his EMD over his shoulder and watched Becker sliding a few knives into his boot. He looked out towards the main island and frowned. "You know she was crying right?"

That caught the soldier's attention. He looked up at Connor from his position kneeling beside the hidden jetskii, his eyes wide and filled with guilt. "She was...?" his voice trailed off at the thought of the tears falling down her cheeks, knowing he was the one that had caused them. "I didn't mean-"

Connor cut him off before he could continued. "Abby went to check on her and she found her practically drowning the PDA system."

Becker ran his hand through his hair in frustration. "What was I suppose to say to her Connor? I tried everything, but she's just so stubborn!"

ETA is ten minutes guys. We'll be needing help with the jetskiis Abby said over the comms.

Connor glanced down at the extra PDA in his hand "Abs, we're about a hundred meters north of the eastern side of the island. Look for an X in the sand. That'll be our location." he looked back over at Becker and saw the guilt growing in his tortured expression, the scratches on his cheek were still a hot red. "You should tell her."

Becker frowned as he stood up straight. "Tell her what?"

Connor sighed dramatically as he craved an X in the sand with the heel of his foot. "Mate, you really are emotionally inept."

"You're one to talk."

Connor laughed. "But I'm the geeky genius of the group. Being socially awkward is one of my fortes."

Becker scanned the water infront of them and sighed. "She already knows how I feel about her..."

Connor stopped and grinned. "Action Man confessed his sins?"

"What?"

His grin just widened "You told her you loved her?"

"No."

Connor slumped, clearly disappointed at the lack of gossip he would have to give Abby when she arrived. He was surprised Becker had opened up at all. He could at least tell his fiancee that the seemingly aloof Captain clearly had strong feelings for the young Field Coordinator.

"I asked her out..." Becker added quietly. He looked up and immediately wished he hadn't. The grin Connor had stretching from ear to ear was making him nauseous just looking at him.

Just then, the girls arrived with the other two jetskiis and they quickly hid them beside the others.

"Sorry we're late. There was a man refusing to give up the keys to his jetskii. But we fixed that." Abby and Emily shared a grin before Jess' voice began to echo in their ears.

Guys, I've been tracking Matt's phone's GPS and the signal seems to be getting stronger. I'm going to try contact him. I'm sending coordinates to Connor's PDA of his position now.

"Thanks Jess." Connor replied as his fingers skimmed over the small screen in his hand.

I've done an infrared scan and the whole island was hot with activity. I think there's a factory or a warehouse of some sort underground. Be careful.

"Will do." Becker said as he looked over Connor's shoulder at the map.

Jess grumbled a reply before the comms went quiet.

Emily sighed. "Will they just kiss and make up already?"

Abby glanced at the older woman who just grinned at her and couldn't hold back her laugh.

o.O~O.o

Matt was fairly surprised at how fast the guards seemed to drop around them as they made their way through the corridors towards the room which held Charlie. Either Sarah and himself made a great team or the men Amy had supposedly 'hired' weren't very good at their job.

"Duck!" Sarah dropped to the ground before a guard managed to grab her from behind. She hooked her leg under his and he fell to the ground where she stunned him with a small tazer she had hooked to her belt.

She grabbed the entry card from around the guards neck and stood back up, glancing around for the next threat. She sighed, smiling at Matt as a guard dropped to the ground in front of him. "Thanks. I think that's the last of them for now. Charlie is just through here..." She didn't wait for either of them to catch their breaths before she sprinted down the rest of the corridor, skidding to a stop infront of a light blue door with metal stripes going diagonally across it.

She scanned the guards entry card and the door slid open. They found the little girl huddled in the corner with her hands covering her ears. Sarah quickly rushed to her side while Matt stayed at the door, keeping lookout. "Charlie, you're okay now. I'm here." Sarah said calmly.

Her small arms quickly wrapped around Sarah neck and held on tightly. "I want to go home."

"I know you do sweetie. We have to get out of here first okay? I need you to be a brave girl now, can you do that for me?" Charlie nodded slowly before burying her face in the crook of Sarah's neck. She quickly wrapped her arms around her back and carefully picked her up off the ground.

"Matt, you're going to have to cover-"

They both froze when his pocket began to beep. He quickly dug into his pokcet and brought out the cell phone. The 'ARC's security really needed some work. "Jess?"

Thank god! Matt? Finally! Where are you? We've managed to track your phone's GPS signal so the others are close. Are you okay? You're not injured?"

He turned to Sarah and Charlie and gestured for them to start moving. "We're fine Jess. Just a little tied up, there's guards everywhere. Do you have the position of the others?"

They're about a click from your current location. Matt, you said "we're". Who's with you?

"Keep moving. We have to get to the elevator shaft. Jess, I have two civilians with me. There's too much to explain over the phone but just make sure the other's have a way of getting off this island."

Are the civilians alright? Matt? Are you still there?

He frowned as static began to replace her voice. "Jess?"

Sarah began to slow down her pace, the weight of Charlie beginning to take it's toll on her. "Pass her here. I can carry her."

"No it's fine. I'm fine." her voice was strained.

"Sarah." he didn't have to say anymore as she whispered something to Charlie then passed her over. The little girl latched onto Matt, her grip tightening at the familiarity.

"The elevator should be around here somewhere-" She stopped suddenly and pulled Matt into one of the rooms nearest to them, hiding just as two similar looking men jogged down the corridor shouting commands into walkie talkies.

"The Twins. Top of security here. If you end up head to head with one of them, you're screwed."

There was shouting outside the door and Charlie whimpered, her grip tightening around Matt's neck. "You're alright sweetheart." Matt whispered, gently rubbing her back to try and sooth her.

"The elevator is just down that corridor but we wont be able to get to it unless someone distracts-"

A second alarm began to blare around them, leaving their ears ringing as a voice took over alerting all troops to report to central. Sarah's eyes widened as the guards outside the door hurried down the corridor. "Someone's triggered one of the intruder alarms outside."

"Connor..." Matt shook his head but couldn't help the small grin.

"Never have I valued a Temple's mistake before... Actually that's not true. Eva did the mistake of introducing me to her brother. Even though I find him annoying, he's helpful. Very helpful. Too helpful actually..."

Matt laughed at how similar she was to Jess. Rambling on about things that had no relevance to what they were doing. He laid his free hand on her shoulder. "Sarah, you need to focus."

"Focus. Right." She actually blushed. "The elevator is just over there."

o.O~O.o

"Guys, seriously. I think I tripped on some sort of wire back there. They're probably out looking for us! What if we've just made it harder for Matt to escape. Jess said he told her there were guards everywhere! What if they're watching us right now? I'm really tired. How long do we have to continued walking? I thought coming back from the Cretaceous meant no more walking through forests. I don't like it..."

Becker rolled his eyes. "Connor would you stop being a drama queen and tell us where Matt is?"

"Right." he glanced down at the PDA and after a few silent moments of intense consentration, he began to frown. "If this is correct... Matt should just be..."

He looked up and began to search through the thick trees ahead of them. A grin slowly began to appear on his face. "Matt!"

They all looked in the same direction as the man appeared carrying a young child while one who looked only a couple of years younger than Jess followed closely behind him.

"We have to get off the island." he panted.

"Of course. There's jetskiis down on the beach." Abby replied. "Do you want me to take her?"

Matt shook his head. "It's fine. She's not that heavy."

Sarah laughed. "Lier."

He rolled his eyes. "Okay she's a bit heavy, but I'm fine. Lead the way."

"Jess, we've found Matt and the civilians. We're on our way back now. Is the beach secure?" Abby asked.

The comms were quiet for a moment before the field coordinator replied. T-the beach is secure.

Becker looked at Abby and frowned. "Something's wrong."

"Yeah, her voice didn't sound right. Jess? Are you okay?"

There was silence.

"Jessica?" they all heard the worry shake Becker's voice. He couldn't let anything happen to her. He wouldn't be able to forgive himself if she got hurt again.

Guys you have to get here quick- They had only heard her voice for a split second before a bang echoed through the comms. Becker suddenly found his feet moving of their own accord, leaving the others behind without a second thought.

I'm still trying to figure out what has happened to Jess... She could be fine, hiding in the bathroom, injured, kidnapped or dead.
