Everybody groaned.

"Come on! Not now!"

"This sucks!"

"Perfect timing!"

"Screw you!"

You heard various complaints in that moment.

Everyone turned around to throw a look of apology at Jess.

"Sorry honey, but we'll be back!" said Abby. She touched Jess knee before she started for the door.

"Come on people!" Matt said walking to the door as well. The rest followed, but Becker didn't stir. The emotions on his face were torn. On the one hand he wanted to stay, longing for some alone time with Jess, on the other hand his sense of responsibility kicked in.

Jess pouted, she felt bad because she couldn't look out for them now and would love to just lock them up there in her room, never the less she nudged Becker:

"What about you?" He was about to get up:

"Fucking anomaly!"

"Becker!"

"Sorry!"

Then Connor yelled from the corridor: "Hey, we're lacking of some security around here!"

"On my way!"

On the threshold he turned around and bestowed a tender glance at Jess whose lip twitched:

"Be careful!" The soldier rolled his eyes. Jess defended herself almost frantically:

"I can't watch out for you now! It just makes me nervous!"

"We'll be fine!" He winked at her and left. On the way he thought that she had kind of the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen.

He should have never started to compare her to Sarah.

They loaded the weapons into the jeeps.

"I'm going to freak out if a creature dares to come through today!" Emily said while she got in one of the cars. Matt laughed.

Tory who covered for Jess located the anomaly.

"Tory we need an exact map of the area."

"All right, I'm on it Matt."

Suddenly it hit Becker right in the guts. This was it like when Jess wasn't around.

"Okay, I send you the maps. There is no creature incursion yet."

What if she had died yesterday?

"Thanks Tory!"

In his past he failed Sarah and a lot of other people, but fail Jess?

He shivered.

"Are you all right?" Matt asked.

Becker just nodded.

"Gosh, Becker you really need to open up at some point!" Emily complained from the backseat.

"I think she's right, mate."

"Stop closing in on me! I am fine!" They listened to Connor's laughter over the coms.

"Connor shut up!" Becker growled, but the others could hardly hold it back themselves.

Their Captain stared out of the window.

"Tory, how far away are we?"

"Only half a mile to go."

Becker had a strange feeling.

They reached their destination in only 2 more minutes.

Luckily there were no people around so even if there was a creature coming through, the percentage that someone got hurt was pretty low.

The crew got out of their cars and the equipment was built up quickly.

Connor ran around with his time measure.

"Come on, let's just quickly lock it and go home!" Abby said.

"Oh my god!" Connor yelled.

"What's up?" Matt asked alarmed.

"It's 2009!"

Everyone froze for a second.

Matt then was the first one able to react again.

"Tory, I need two soldiers who take Dr Page down here as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Sir."

Abby stepped up to Becker who looked at the anomaly.

There was the gap between the times. A window to his past.

Quickly his memory recalled everything that had happened after Sarah's death.

He had just gotten over it.

"Hey, you know that nothing was your fault, right?" Becker sighed dropping his eyes to the ground.

"Becker, really, this is important for…"

"Abby, please, stop it!"

"No, Becker, I won't!" Her voice was low but fierce. "You have to remember this when Sarah goes through there now!" He snorted.

"I made so many mistakes lately."

"But nothing that can't be sorted out! So when Sarah goes through there you finally have to let go!"

She watched his face that wore his usual military mask.

After weeks of fighting with himself he finally had the guts to get involved with Jessica who was able to make him incredibly happy.

Then Sarah appeared and now it seemed like he had to go through all this again.

He wouldn't look at Abby but she just quietly said:

"Do it for Jess!" and left to spare Becker any answer.

Jess was listening to the music on her MP3 player.

Her mobile in her hands.

She was anxious.

If I only knew you were a right…

There was an odd feeling in the pit of her stomach which scared her.

He stared at her retreating figure. The words echoed in his head: Do it for Jess…

He drew a deep breath. The voice in his head told him that Abby was right, the difference this time was that he had Jess. This was the point where he admitted that Emily was right too, he should open up some time.

The car arrived.

Connor walked up to Matt:

"Do you think she'll go through just like that?"

"I hope so."

"What if she doesn't? Do we toss her through or something like that?" Connor joked.

"Yes, that'll be your job then!" Matt deadpanned and patted the genius's shoulder before he walked away.

"You're kidding!" Connor yelled after him. "Right?" He grimaced as he watched Sarah wh complained in a loud voice. "I want you to tell me what is going on?"

One of the men took her arm leading her along. "Let go! What…"

She spotted the anomaly and was petrified. Her mind went blank, she didn't know what to think.

Do I want to go back? Do I want to stay?

The whole team watched her.

Emily walked up to her. "Are you ready to go home?"

"I'm not sure." Matt stepped closer as well:

"Your team will be waiting for you on the other side." Sarah's eyes flickered. Her gaze went from Matt back to the bright anomaly. She noticed that Becker avoided looking at her. Her head dropped.

"Well, I guess this is good bye then…"

"Trust me, it's better like this." Abby said and hugged her.

Should I make a run for it?

She couldn't decide and it was actually Becker who made the decision to leave easier for her.

He hugged her saying: "I'll be waiting for you on the other side."

Suddenly Sarah noticed that the Becker she used to know was on the other side. She stared at the pulsing light.

They let go of each other.

The woman made one hesitating step towards the anomaly. Emily was immediately next to her. She put her arm around her and smiled encouragingly, gently pushing her forward.

"It'll be fine! Take care of yourself, will you?" The other woman nodded. She felt paralysed, it was like someone had pushed the fast forward button.

"Take care." Abby said.

"Bye Sarah." Becker said. The rest of the team looked at him. Sarah did as well.

"Be happy." She whispered, turned around and stepped quickly through the anomaly.

Everyone sighed.

The bright light pulsed quicker and quicker, until it was gone.
