Jessica frantically stared at her pager. Oh, of course this was going to happen!
She was just walking down the street doing some window shopping as the alarm set off and as it turned out the anomaly wasn't far away from her.
Abby picked up her mobile on the first ring: "Jessica?"
"Hey. Listen I am near the anomaly and there are loads of people around here. I don't know how I can clear the place."
"Jess, we are on our way. Do you know if a creature has come through yet? And where is Becker?"
Jessica's field coordinator qualities kicked in immediately. She was good at her job. She knew what to do in case of an emergency. She had to admit that she was a little happy about this anomaly, because it gave her her security back. She was sure of what she had to do and maybe this was the anomaly that would end her relationship problems…
"I don't think so. Look, this is like a backyard, not easy to find. Nobody has seen the anomaly yet because it's hidden by a palisade covered with ivy. I'll call Becker, see you later."
Jess hands trembled as she dialled the familiar number.
"Hey Becker it's me. Where are you?"
"I am on my way to the anomaly. Where are you?"
"I'm there."
"You are WHAT? Jessica, don't do anything stupid!"
"Becker, don't tell me what to do. You never tell Abby or…" Sarah. "…or…you never tell them to back off."
"Of course I do. I just want you…"
"I'm sick of you believing that the only thing I can handle is a computer." Actually she didn't want to say anything, but the words just poured out of her mouth. She was just as strong as Abby or Sarah or even Emily! Jess got totally worked up about it so she couldn't stop.
"No, I don't…just wait till I am there! Jess…Jessica?" The dialling tone answered him.
"Shit!" the soldier cursed and threw his phone onto the seat next to him.
