Sorry this took so long to get out... i've been busy with school. Well had been xD It's summer now! Yayyyyyy! :D

"Abigail?" Nick Cutter asked for the sixth time.

"Huh-What?" She looked up at him, torn from her thoughts.

"I was asking you if you've finished your report yet," Cutter told her softly.

"Oh yeah," Abigail nodded and handed him the paper. "There you go," She gave an attempt at a smile.

"Thank you," Nick nodded and left her to her thoughts.

Abigail watched him leave, she then went on her computer and went to her e-mail, opened the bottom one and read it. It was from three years previous, a few months after the ARC team had been established.

Hi Abby,

I hope you don't mind me e-mailing you. Because I won't be home tonight and since I don't get to talk to you much I thought it would be easier to e-mail you. So I'm going to the circus with Caroline on Saturday and I was hoping you would come with us :) It'll be a good time!

I'll see you at the flat….if your still up when I get back from me date with Caroline tonight.

~Connor

Abigail didn't know why she had kept that e-mail at the time. She just liked to go back and read it over again, even if it had no real meaning.

She read the next one, which was from a few weeks later.

Hi Abby!

It's me….e-mailing you….again…. Hope ya don't mind :) anyways I wanted to talk to you about what happened a couple days ago… you know… when you got kidnapped by those seal things….Uh I said something to you and I think we need to talk about it… I'm sorry for telling you I don't care what you think! I do care and I'm sorry about how I've been acting lately with you. Haven't been very nice and I should have listened to you. I realize now that Caroline isn't the best girl in the world and she has been horrible to you and Rex. I will listen to you more and not fight with you over silly things like that, because recent events have put it into perspective that life is short, especially with this job. And little quarrels like that are pointless and useless. You're me best pal Abby and I don't want to lose you.

~Connor

Abigail scrolled up to the last one Connor has sent her before Helen had shot him.

Hey Abby!

I've been thinking (Big shock right?) about names and how special they are. Names define us don't you think? Like you can look at a person after hearing their name and think "yeah….they look like a Mike." Names are special and help give us out unique quiatlities…in a way I guess… But I was wondering as to why we give each other nicknames if our real names are so important. It could be because of a past event that gave the person their nickname or a shortened version of their name so its quicker and easier to say. But I don't think certain names should be shortened. Like Abigail. I'm not saying I don't like Abby! I love the name Abby! But I love Abigail more. So from now on I think I'm going to call you Abigail, only if you want me to though, because I know you don't really like Abigail so I hope you don't mine/ You shouldn't hide yourself from the world Abigail. You have a beautiful name and you should show it off. Well I had originally meant for this e-mail to be about me asking you if I could pick the movie tonight….. but you can pick it though. See you later Abigail!

~Connor

Abigail sighed and closed her e-mail and just sat there looking at her desktop wallpaper, it was a picture of her and Rex.

After Connor had died she had been so upset that whenever she thought of the name Abby she instantly went back to hearing Connor saying it when he was dying right in front of her. She had told everyone she didn't want to be known as Abby anymore, only Abigail. She thought Connor would have liked that as well.

Abby was pulled from her memories as the alarm bells went off signaling the appearance of an anomaly.

She sighed and stood up and went to the main Ops room.

"What do we have?" Captain Becker asked the young girl at the ADD whose name was Jessica Parker.

"Looks like a super market," Jess replied, typing on her keyboard.

"Let's go," Nick said and started making his way to the garage.

Abigail pushed all thoughts of Conner from her mind and followed her boss. Dr. Sarah Page fell into step besides her. "Hey Abigail," She smiled. "How are you today?"

"Better," Abigail lied. She forced a smiled. "How are you?"

Sarah shrugged. "Danny's being Danny," She smiled.

"Of course," Abigail rolled her eyes. She got into the back of the car. Nick was at the wheel and Danny was in the front seat. Sarah sat in back with Abigail and Becker took another car with some of his men.

They arrived at the market and the team quickly spread out and looked for the Anomaly.

"Got it!" Nick called ten minutes later, the rest of the team made their way over quickly.

Abigail rounded a corner and had that feeling of amazement every time she saw an anomaly. She couldn't help but watch it as it pulsated, like it was alive and breathing.

"Alright set up a watch," Becker ordered his men. "Stay on alert; we don't know what could come through at any given time."

Just as he finished speaking an Aublysodon sprinted through the anomaly towards them. Before anyone could react Abigail had shot it twice with her tranquilizer gun. A few moments later it slumped to the ground.

"Nice shot Abby…..gail…" Nick corrected himself quickly. He looked down at the unconscious dinosaur.

"Thanks," The blond nodded and let out a breath.

"It's a…..Aublysodon," Sarah said after scanning through Connor's laptop that contained his encyclopedia of dinosaurs.

"Blunt Toothed lizard," Nick nodded.

"What should we do with it?" Danny asked, he poked it with his foot, no reaction.

"Take it back in," Abigail answered without hesitation.

All eyes turned to her, she never said much during missions.

"And how do you propose we do that?" Nicolas Cutter asked her softly.

"Same way you took the Velociraptors back a few years ago," She took a breath, thinking of that brought back painful memories of Connor and Stephen.

Nick nodded slowly as if it made sense, "we need a trolley of some kind," He said looking around at the team, they were all still looking at Abigail. "Hey let's go!" He clapped his hands to get them going.

Soon the Aublysodon was settled comfortably on a trolley used to move groceries. Nick went up to the handle to push it in.

"Wait," Abigail stopped him. "Let me do it."

Cutter hesitated before nodding and taking a step back. "Be careful," He told her.

Abigail nodded back and pushed the trolley through the anomaly, letting its momentum carry it through. She then followed it through.

The sight she met was impossible.

"Great Abby you're back!" An unfamiliar man with an unfamiliar accent. "And where's Connor?"

"C-Connor?" Abigail choked. "Wh-Who are you?"

"Abby are you alright?" Captain Becker asked. He looked different than he did a few seconds a go, more scars.

"No I'm not alright!" Abigail snapped. "You know I hate being called that!"

"Matt," A voice behind her made her blood freeze. "The Aublysodon must have disappeared…..Abby? How'd you get back through before me?"

Abigail slowly turned. Her breath caught in her throat at the sight she saw.

It was Connor Temple, alive and well.
