Saving Connor Temple
Sadly I do not own Primeval or its characters. However I do own Bertie Becker, Caroline Lester, and Luke Temple.
I would like to dedicate this chapter to Lovingthis and to YouHaveLovelyHair... To remind them that they are Awesome!
Becker leapt up from his seat and went to investigate. The captain's blood ran cold as he saw Jess being held with her arms behind her back. A man with ill fitting clothes held a gun towards Jess and was tearing at her clothes.
"Ethan... Let her go!" Becker shouted. He pulled a gun from the back of his waistband and took aim.
"If you want to see her alive... I suggest you drop your weapon!" Ethan ordered. He pulled Jess in front of him and held her in front of him using her as a shield.
Emotions tore at his insides as he listened to Jess scream. Not wanting to see Jess hurt, he complied, earning a maniacal laugh from his opponent. He watched as Ethan roughly pushed Jess towards a brick wall knocking her out. Slowly Ethan walked towards him, still laughing with a deranged look upon his face.
He held the gun in his hand pointed straight at Becker's chest. Becker blinked...
He wasn't wearing his bullet-proof vest!
Becker hated the way Jess lay there, limp and lifeless, like a discarded rag doll.
Slowly Ethan walked towards him, still laughing with a deranged look upon his face. Suddenly the gun in Ethan's hand flew into the air as Bertie kicked it out of her hand.
She pulled her own gun from its holster and took aim.
"NO!" she heard someone shout, they pushed her arms up as she squeezed the trigger, thereby missing Ethan. She turned suddenly to see Danny behind her. "Don't kill him, he's my brother."
Ethan took his chance and ran. He opened and anomaly and disappeared through it closing it quickly behind him before anyone could follow.
"He was about to kill my brother!" Bertie howled.
"And you were about to kill mine!" Danny growled back. He pushed past her and went to see to join Becker who was tending to Jess.
Jess had come round, and she leaned into Becker as run his hand up and down her back.
"Why did he come after you Jess?" Becker stroked Jess's back trying to soothe her.
"He had this look in his eyes... It was like... Like... He was ..." Becker pulled her close as Jess began to sob. "He was going to rape me!" She cried into Becker's chest. Becker squeezed her tightly and carried on rubbing her back. Soothing her as sobs wracked through her body. He ignored Bertie and Danny standing behind them, preferring to calm Jess. He took off his jacket, putting it around her shoulders to keep her warm.
Danny glanced at Bertie, his anger now dissipated, as Becker tended to the Field Coordinator in front of them. He had known that Becker had a crush on the young girl from his last visit to this era. But he had not been expecting this. Clearly the Captain and the young girl were now an item.
It took a while for Danny to come to his senses; he had not known that for the last few minutes he had been staring at the Major. Her hair, very dark brown, was swept up into a ponytail. Her eyes; were a different shade to Becker's looking like the colour of a really good whiskey. Her luscious lips looked... Very... Very... Kissable.
2012...
At a hospital in Ireland.
Helen stared at the two babies in front of her. Nine months had passed very slowly for Helen. The first few months she was plagued with morning sickness, which struck at any time of day. Once she had passed the three and a half month mark the sickness seemed to dissipate and she gained a healthy glow. It was at this point in time that she sent Ethan to find out if she had succeeded in her task to ensure that Connor was never born.
To her chagrin, she discovered that he had indeed been born and now she would have to send him on another mission to kill him. It was at the six and a half month mark that siatica set in and she found that she had excruciating backache that spread to her legs and she found that she was unable to move. Helen could not wait to give birth.
Finally the day came where she went into labour; Ethan followed her like a little lost lamb and did whatever she asked. Soon she had given birth to twins, and now she was restless and wanted to move on. She had wanted to give birth to her babies somewhere where she could find out who the babies father was. As soon as she had given birth she insisted that the children be tested to find out if they belonged to her current partner.
The doctor in question, a Dr G Anderson, had been paid handsomely to perform the test. Ethan had provided a blood sample of his own and now they awaited results. Helen absently looked down at the babies. How was she going to look after them? She wanted to continue her work. She had seen what had become of the future and in her own mind she made a plan to stop evolution of mankind in its tracks. How she was going to do it with two children to carry around?
Hell, she didn't even care for them. She looked at them now; a little girl and a little boy, but she did not know if the father was Ethan or Derek. She had to find out!
She tapped her foot impatiently waiting for the doctor to come back.
"Helen, why don't you hold my hand and sit down?" Ethan asked. He was just as anxious as Helen, but he displayed a calmness that Helen found annoying. She was about to respond to him when the door opened behind her.
She turned. "Dr Anderson," she smiled at him.
"Please call me Gideon," the Doctor smiled. Helen was taken aback by the man's informal nature and she sat down in a nearby armchair.
"Please. Do give us the results." Helen hoped that the doctor would tell her that the babies belonged to Derek.
The doctor sighed as he removed his glasses. "Well, the girl here, her DNA matches your partner here, Ethan Dobrowski. The little boy however, his DNA does not. This means that he must have been conceived with another man's sperm. Do you know who the father might be?"
Helen knew straight away what she had to do. But she had to convince Ethan to follow her plan.
"I'm afraid I don't. I have no idea who he belongs to and I'm going to leave him here, look after him as you wish. I'll take the girl with me." Helen lied as she glared at Gideon, preventing him from asking anymore questions. With that she picked up the little girl and left. She did not care for Derek's son and did not even want him to know that he had a little boy.
Why if she told him about his son, he would not look after her daughter properly.
Gideon paused as the strange woman left. He picked up the crying boy and soothed him. He looked down at his notes trying to find the boys name. He could not believe how callous the woman was to leave her son!
She had not even named the little boy – How uncaring was that! He went to find a nurse so that they could look after the little boy while the authorities would have to be informed so that they could trace the little babies' mother.
He looked at a book laying on the nurses' desk; he looked at the author's name - Matthew. That's what they would call him.
Helen knew how to manipulated men and she used it to her advantage. From her travels into the future she knew that Philip Burton would help her build her anomaly machine. And she also knew that Connor Temple, Danny Quinn, and Captain Becker were the ones she needed to destroy. Somehow Connor realised that a meteor hitting the earth in Yellowstone Park would be catastrophic. He had also figured that this particular event would trigger a massive volcanic eruption, thus destroying all life on the planet.
Helen and Ethan walked away from the hospital. Helen explained to Ethan of her plan. She would take the little girl and take her to Derek. He would look after her and then Helen and Ethan would retrieve her when the time was right. Ethan was not happy at leaving his daughter but also knew that they could not take her with them to destroy the ARC.
He would take personal pleasure in destroying Captain Becker. He recalled the last time he had come across Captain Becker. The man had disrupted his plans of being blown up. Oh how he had looked forward to seeing the military man being blown to smithereens. He had hoped that the EMDs had killed him and had been quite disappointed when all they did was maim a person. Anyway here was another chance to destroy him. This time he would not fail.
Helen stood on Derek's doorstep with her daughter in her arms. She rang the bell and waited for him to answer. She went in when Derek answered.
"This is your Daughter. I've come to return her to you." Helen lied. "You must look after her whilst I am gone. I will come back for her one day, but until then you must look after her."
"What's her name?"
"April." she read the month off the calendar behind him.
The Arc
2012...
Danny, Becker and Jess were chatting outside Lester's office, when the alarm bells began to ring.
Quickly they ran to the anomaly detector. Jess tapped away on her keyboard.
"It's in Blackburn. It's a couple of hours away so I'm going to organise a helicopter. I also have a visual."
Becker, Matt, Jess, Danny and Bertie watched the flickering orb on the screen. They watched as a figure came through.
It was a dark haired man. His beard did little to hide his appearance and his identity.
Danny gasped. "Patrick!"
Becker hissed. "Ethan!"
They all watched as he carried a small child in his arms. Danny was the only one who recognised the young boy.
"Connor!"
Immediately Danny spoke, not giving Matt a chance to direct his team.
"Becker, you're with me. We've got to make sure that little Connor goes back to his own time! Matt you, Bertie and Emily make sure that he doesn't get away." Much to Matt's chagrin, he realised that Danny was right. Danny had split the team just the way he would have done.
"Abby you have to stay here. It's much too dangerous." Matt turned to Abby. Sullenly she nodded.
So Little Connor is in danger once more!
Will the team be able to save him?
What has Evil Ethan got in store for our intrepid team of heros?
