Author's Note: Thank you so much for reading my story and giving your feedback, I'm happy to know that you like this story and appreciated your reviews. I agree with most all of you, it's high time that she tell Becker what her problem is – or maybe there could be a more interesting way for him to find out. ;)

FYI: This is the first story in my planned 'Primeval: Past Midnight Chronicles'. The next story planned is called White Noise. There is also a poll up in my profile if anyone is interested in answering it.

My brother is doing much better now and with his recovery I feel like my muse is back :), thank you for your concerns and your continued support. Hope you love the new chapter.

-Becker-

Jess didn't come to work the next day and Connor seemed to be in a right bad mood. He was supposed to be in the armory but Becker wanted to see what Connor was doing. Gently making his way into Connors office, he walked up behind him, Connor didn't notice when Becker looked over his shoulder.

Becker's blood pressure rose considerably when he noticed Connor was watching a CCTV feed of what Becker could indentify as Jess's kitchen.

"What are you doing?" Becker barked Connor turned around practically falling out of his chair looking sharply at him.

"Ever heard of knocking – god do I need to put a bell on you?" Connor accused, Becker was about to comment and question why he was watching Jess when he looked at the feed and saw something that stopped his reaction dead.

Jess was at her kitchen table drinking something, reading the paper when all of a sudden…every single cabinet in the kitchen slammed open….every single one. Jess jumped back dropping her glass that shattered on the floor.

"What the bloody hell?" Becker questioned, moving past Connor to get a better look at the CCTV feed.

"What…" Connor questioned turning around himself, when he saw the screen he let out a groan. "Shit." He mumbled moving his body in front of Becker's nudging him out of the way, rewinding the footage Connor watched it again, Becker noticed the boys hand started shaking.

"Temple what is going on?" Becker demanded

"You know what Becker, I think I have had it with you, I don't care if your bigger or stronger than me you obviously can't take a hint unless its attached to a bloody bullet or something– don't you think if Jess wanted you to know what is going on she would have told you by now. Take the god damn hit and mind your own affairs." Connor growled, the entire time Connor was advancing on the military Captain who was so astonished by Connors power of voice that he retreated quite a ways back.

Becker felt his eyes narrow, he knew how to pick his battles and this wasn't one to fight, he turned to leave but decided against it – turning back he grabbed Connor by the collar of his shirt pulling him in close to his face.

"You're not the only one who cares about her Connor." Becker hissed letting Connor go before storming out of the room.

A moment later when Becker was down all hall leaning against the wall trying to cool he head as he watched as Connor leave his lab with his jacket – making his way to the exit.

-Jess-

Jess was scared out of her mind, today was the first time anything had happened during the daylight, Connor had come home right away, but Jess was mortified to learn that Becker hand seen the footage.

She didn't want him to think she was crazy or anything, she hated how her life had somehow suddenly turned into a nightmare, it was getting dark out, Connor came up behind her and said they should get to bed.

Jess was exhausted and silently prayed that nothing 'interesting' would happen tonight.

-Connor-

Jess must have been feeling very uncomfortable, because soon after she was asleep she curled up against his side nuzzling into his chest. Connor was trying to figure out how to talk Jess into moving out of this flat that she loved so much, he didn't even really notice when he fell asleep.

Connor woke up later with the distinct feeling that him and Jess were not alone, he looked up and saw a dark shadow standing at the foot of their bed. With puma like reflexes he grabbed the EMD off of his nightstand pointing it at the intruder and turned on the bedside lamp.

Becker stood there, still wearing his work uniform, looking at them with murder in his eyes.

"Becker!" Connor growled, half tempted to shot Becker with the EMD…twice. Jess who was half on to of Connor chest again woke up at Connors sudden movement.

"What…what's going on…" She looked over and saw Becker standing there; pulling up the covers to cover her cleavage she gasped "Becker what the hell?" She questioned.

"I can't believe the two of do this to Abby…to me." The captain whimpered slightly, it was at that moment Connor realized the look wasn't so much anger as it was hurt.

"Bloody hell, Becker this isn't what it looks like." Connor explained in exasperation, getting out of bed, Becker met Connor half way.

"Oh really Connor, then what exactly is this then…" Becker demanded.

Stupidly while the guys were distracted by their testosterone fueled fight that neither of them bothered to look at Jess, who at that very moment was looking terrified at the now open door leading into the hallway.

Something was there…like a shadow, it looked like big black dog, Jess felt her terror rise as she could have sworn she saw two red eyes staring at her. Jess got the distinct feeling then that whatever it was, was just waiting for the others to be distracted long enough.

The thing shifted like a dog coming quickly into the room – only there was nothing there, Jess hardly had time to let out a scream as the unseen entity grabbed her by the leg and with frightening force pulled her right from the bed dragging her quickly from the room, the door slamming behind them.

Connor and Becker almost didn't see it, Jess hadn't even let out that big of a yell.

"Jessica." Connor cried ache in his voice as he realized that he was so distracted that he hadn't been paying attention. He ran to the now closed bedroom door – trying to open it but it seemed like some force was pressing up against it keeping him from opening it.

"BECKER! CONNOR! HELP ME PLEASE!" Jess yelled the sound of her scared voice barely muffled thought he closed door, then followed by a scream of pure pain that made tears come to Connors eyes.

"Aside Connor." Becker barked, as he tried kicking the door down, Connor noticed the terror on his face that must have matched his own, Becker kept it up for a while but to no anvil.

Another painful scream came from downstairs as Becker leaned his head against the door sobbing as he slammed his fist against the door.
