Everyone turned and stared.

"But you were just…" confused she turned around to the anomaly.

Becker had frozen as the black haired woman had stumbled out of the anomaly.

He thought his heart might stop beating. He held his breath. No! This can't be!

"Becker, what…what is this?"

Matt watched the scene with careful skeptic eyes as always when he didn't know what was going on.

"Dr Sarah Page." Connor suddenly said.

Jessica paused as she listened distinctly. She wanted to see but all she could do was listen.

"What? Connor, what did you say?"

"Yes, and who the hell…oh you're Connor Temple!" Sarah looked around confused. "And Abby Maitland but you two disappeared how…where am I?" She searched for Becker's eyes. But the soldier was petrified. He could only stare at the pretty face he thought he'd lost forever. And now she was there! In front of him! Alive! He listened to the blood rushing through his ears.

He'd cared deeply for Sarah once, at some point he considered starting a relationship with her, and then she died.

"Matt, tell me what's going on! Is everyone okay? I can't see you!"

"Jessica not now!" Matt said which made Sarah look a little scared because the only woman she saw was Abby and she naturally couldn't hear Jess. She had no idea that anomalys could lead to the future. She'd no idea about the new technologies Connor had worked out. And this petrified soldier that looked like Becker but didn't behave like him scared the hell out of her!

"Sarah you have to go back through the anomaly!" Matt urged her putting a hand on her shoulder. She shook him of. "And you are?"

"Matt Anderson, please go back through, trust me!" Again he tried to force her. But Sarah didn't trust him.

"Becker what is this?"

"Yes, Captain say something!" Matt barked motioning to Sarah and the anomaly. Becker swallowed drawing a breath he didn't know he'd been holding. His tongue wouldn't obey him.

"20 seconds!" Connor interrupted.

"Okay, Sarah really go back!" Matt pleaded and Abby stepped forward.

"Why should I trust you? Where do you want to send me? Where the hell is my team?" She planted her feet into the ground. Sarah didn't like to be forced.

"Do you read me? Someone tell me what's going on! Becker?"

Becker's thoughts raced through his head. Jessica…Sarah…He felt like he was trapped in one of these nightmares where you want to run but you're just moving in slow motion.

"Jess not now!" Matt said again quite unfriendly. Becker's pulse quickened, his head swam.

He started to sweat. He knew that Sarah had to go back. Say something, anything! She'll listen to you and then…she'll…she'll…he let his thoughts trail off.

"10 seconds!"

"Okay…" Abby rushed forward to grab Sarah's shoulders.

"Listen this is 2011. I promise everything will be fine but now go back!" Sarah's eyes widened her jaw dropped. "2011? But we just had…" She looked at the now stuttering anomaly and then at Becker who was torn. Would this save her? Change the future?

"Sarah you…"

"It's too late!"Connor interrupted Matt.

Abby whirled and wanted to push Sarah back through the anomaly but the woman moved quickly out of her way and tripped Abby.

"Abby!" Connor screamed.

Jessica stiffened. Oh no…

Abby soared threw the air towards the anomaly.

She hit the ground hard.

Connor sighed. The anomaly had just vanished before Abby could fall through.

Matt grumbled angrily and stomped away squinting at Becker:

"Captain Becker I want your full report!" He felt like ripping Becker into shreds.

The soldiers silently packed everything together and retreated. Connor and Abby looked at each other. Finally Becker moved again. He sighed rubbing his eyes.

Sarah stepped forward until she stood only a few cm in front of him.

Her perfume slapped into his face.

The desperation as she'd died. The sadness and emptiness. It hit him right in the face.

Something stirred inside of him as he stared at her face.

He fought his tears and struggled to keep his mask on.

The black haired woman suddenly hugged him and it felt like every air was knocked out of his body. A punch right into his guts.

Abby couldn't help but feel a little sorry as she saw how hard he struggled.

The anger she felt for Sarah made room for the sympathy she felt for the captain. He was finally happy again, everyone had noticed the huge change going on these last week and now this.

"Come on Sarah you'll have to drive back to the ARC with us. Lester will want to talk to you." Abby grabbed Sarah's arm and pulled her away. Sarah thought about resisting.

Were these the same people from her time? Or was this just a parallel universe? What was up with Becker? This wasn't him?

Maybe that was exactly the reason why she'd let Abby pull her away.

She looked at Becker again who said in a hoarse voice: "Go with them. I still got security stuff to do."

Under other circumstances Connor would have laughed out loud but now he just copied Abby's look on her face.

How could they explain this to Jess? If she hadn't already figured it out …

He was sure that Matt would take care of that and felt a little bad for the relief he felt when he figured that he wouldn't have to be the one breaking the news to her.
