The next day was a Friday.

As Jess woke up she stretched and sighed. This was going to be a good day!

Yes, she told herself. She would go out there and show everyone what kind of a woman she could be. Right now she was so dependent on Becker and it hadn't done her any good so far. So maybe if she could slowly detach herself it would become easier?

Becker woke up as his alarm clock chimed.

Friday. Almost weekend, maybe this was a good sign.

Jessica sat down in front of the ADD making herself comfortable.

"Good morning good morning! Jessica, are you wearing a new skirt?" Abby greeted her. It seems like everybody was in a good mood today, maybe it was the sun that was shining again after three days of rain.

"Abby, Connor. Yes, I never wore it before, though I already bought it a week ago."

"It's yellow." Connor deadpanned. The girls stared at him.

"And?"

"Nothing…just…uhm…stated the obvious…" They rolled their eyes at him.

"Whatever, tonight is going to be awesome! Do you remember that guy we listened to last month?"

"Do you mean the one at Southbank?"

"Exactly! He is going to perform in a pub tonight!"

"Are you kidding?" Jessica squealed. Abby shook her head. Jess laughed again:

"That's amazing. Well, you are telling me this because we are going, right?" Abby nodded wildly, grinning: "Absolutely!"

Connor had already left on his way out he met Matt.

"Hey mate. Be warned the girls got all excited about this stupid hunk with his guitar." Matt frowned:

"The one who was at Southbank?"

"Seems like he finally found a manager." Matt made a face:

"Oh dear. I hoped no one would be so stupid…well, how is Jess?"

"She seems normal to me. I don't know though if she…" Connor cleared his throat "…like I said I don't know if I can make it. Morning Becker."

Matt who didn't understand Connor's change turned around now and watched Becker approach them. He looked better than yesterday, but still tired.

"Morning. So Connor, any news?" The Captain was asking about the anomaly that should take Sarah back, obviously.

"Sorry Becker, but I am on it." Matt was so tempted to ask Becker about his dating life; if he already sorted it out or what he was intending to do, but this was apparently not the right place for such a conversation.

"Good. I'll be downstairs and check our weapon supplies." After Becker left Matt mocked:

"As if they would get lost. I'll bet you that it's the same number of arms we had a month ago. He watches them like other people their kids."

"You are on! Twenty bucks, that a dino ate at least one of them!"

Connor and Matt shook hands smirking at each other.

When Jess had made her plan this morning it sounded so easy and brilliant, but she had forgotten about one important factor…and that was her unconsciousness that kept telling her how hot the soldier actually looked in his black uniform.

She covertly eyed the CCTV footage that showed the armoury.

A study recently figured out that you are only drawn to person who has gens that match with yours.

Jess thought about that while she was undressing Becker with her eyes.

Do we really have a matching gen-code? This is all so weird…

"Jessica! Hey!" Abby snapped her fingers in front of Jess' face. It startled her so much that she almost fell off her chair.

"What? What is it? What did I do?" Abby laughed:

"Well, besides" she stared at the monitor "drooling about Becker not much really."

"Abby, I didn't…" Abby waved her hand:

"Yeah yeah, whatever. I just wanted to know if you would like to have lunch with me?"

Jess pursed her lips and sheepishly admitted: "Sorry, but I actually wanted to have a little alone time." Abby patted her arm:
"Don't worry, that's okay Jess! I'll see you later then!"

Later Jess went to town where she enjoyed the last rays of sunlight.

While she was off Becker got a call from his cousin Ben who called to ask if he wanted to meet up. They always when Ben was in town for he lived in Brighton. Becker and Ben were quite close in age and they both joined the army, so they had much in common and got along very well.

They met in a café in Hyde Park where they sat outside in the sun.

"So tell me how is Brighton? Still the same?"

"As beautiful as ever and the tourists do appreciate that."

"So I guess the economical future is safe?" Becker laughed and Ben nodded gesturing with his hand.

"You say it. All the people can be very annoying but whom am I telling that? You know that yourself. Anyway, how are you? You look pretty wrecked." Ben squinted as Becker waved it off.

"Well, long story it's…" He wondered if he should tell Ben. He was a neutral person after all, so maybe he could help him get a clearer view?

"…it's about my girlfriend." Ben laughed.

"Ha, it's Jessica, right?" Becker nodded.

"I remember because you couldn't stop talking about her. I'm sorry but it's still so awkward to think of you and a woman." He kept laughing for a few seconds. "Chrm, sorry, you were saying?"

Becker sighed: "Well, this woman from my past suddenly showed up. Sarah. I kinda had a crush on her years ago and we might have been close to become a couple but then she…" Died. "…well, she disappeared just like that but now she's back and it…it freaks me out, to be honest."

"Woah, one question, is that your life? Or a bad Tv show?"

"Ben!"

"Sorry, well, that sucks, but I mean what is it about this Sarah? Does she want to be with you?"

"I think so…"

"Do you still love her?"

"I don't know…I…phew…"

"Well, you should, I mean it's either her or Jessica. Don't start and two-time any of them."

"Who the hell do you think I am? But when you say it like this it seems to be so easy."

"Well, besides I can't tell you what to feel, it is easy, mate." No, it is not, because Sarah should be dead.

That second the anomaly alert set off.
