Where am I? Why can't I move? I can't move anything, nothing! I want to talk, I want to see but I can't, I can't move. It's like I'm trapped in a dream and I can't escape. What is this? Who's there? I can hear someone, but I can't see them, who is it? Talk to me!

"Connor, it's me. Abby, well you probably know that."

I'm trying to scream her name, I'm so happy to see, well hear, her. My head aches from shouting but my mouth does not respond it stays shut tight. Abby, I'm all right, please hear me, I screech in my mind but the room stays silent. Surely she must see the desperation on my face. I want to see her!

"I know you won't respond, I don't even know why I'm talking to you, you can't hear me." She stifled a small chuckle from escaping her poised lips. "Please wake up!"

I am awake, I can hear you, well I can't respond but I'm working on that.

"It's been hell without you, I can't sleep. Connor… I…"

God no, please don't do this Abby. Stop right there, this was one of them times where an anomaly would be convenient. But it didn't seem to work that way. How can I lay here not responding to what she is going to say, if I'm not just getting my hopes up and really she's just going to say that I'm behind on washing up duties. Go! Please just go. I can't cope with this. Well I've waited and dreamed about this moment for ages but it was more of a when I'm awake moment, when I could respond.

"Connor… I… I… I need you! I love you!"

I could feel the world collapse underneath this hospital bed. I love you too Abby, I love you. I always have. She's sitting there pouring out her heart and I'm unconscious well trapped and not responding. I try to sit up to reach out to where I think her hand might be hold it so she knows that I'm there. I love you Abby.

"I'm sorry Connor I have to go!"
I could hear her practically run for the door her feet thudding on my hospital room. ABBY! Please don't go! Please! Stay with me! I love you! But it was too late she had gone and I had just let her, I should have told her how I felt. Why does one of us have to be in the not so good situation until we talk about how we feel? Please Abby come back.

"What's he on about?" Sarah asked.

"Whatever did that to him is still here, we have to go!" Becker ordered pulling Abby from Connor as she desperately clung to his now red shirt. "Come on Abby!"
"We can't just leave him here!" She exclaimed.

"I'm onto it!" Danny shouted. "Quick!"

Danny hoisted Connor over his shoulders with an oomph and they all ran for the end of the passageway, not knowing what they were running from.

"Get him in the car!" Becker ordered Danny as he swung his gun from off his shoulder and pointed it down the passageway. Whatever had attacked Connor had not followed them yet.

Danny lay Connor in the backseats of the car and ordered the two girls to get into the car with Connor and make sure he was all right.

"Sarah, I need you to drive him to the hospital. Tell them that an exotic pet escaped or something like that. Go as fast as you can."

"What about you and Becker?" She asked leaping into the driving seat. "Will you be all right?"
"We'll be fine!"

Sarah, Abby and Connor then left the anomaly site to drive to the hospital way over the speed limit but this was an emergency. Connor's head lay on Abby's lap as he slipped into unconsciousness.

"Becker, have you seen it yet?" Danny asked. Becker shook his head still aiming at the passageway. "Any sign of movement?" Again Becker shook his head. "I guess were going down there then. Becker nodded slowly shuffling towards the passageway, trying not to make a sound.

"It's still down there, I have a feeling!" He whispered.

That when they heard a scuttling from behind a pile of boxes and the sound of chatter.

"SShhh!" Becker hushed at Danny as he crouched down and side stepped around the boxes to see what had attacked Connor.

Becker finally saw what it was a group of Compsognathus, a dinosaur the size of a chicken. So small it didn't look like they could do much damage. But they turned to face Becker and he looked at them in sheer horror before sprinting off the way he had just come off shooting misguided bullets as he went. If they got hold of him and Danny they could easily open him up just like they had done with Connor. Danny raced past him.

"More than one, this is going to be harder than we first imagined!" He screeched as he ran.

The door to his hospital room opened again and he prayed to God that Abby had come back.

"Temple, wake up!"

Lester what the hell was he doing here. Oh and hello to you to Sir, Connor thought as he once again tried to move but to no avail.

"You fall into a near death situation by a few chickens." Lester huffed occupying the only seat in the room. "You survive an attack of a G-rex, however you're hooked up on a life support machine when you get bombarded by a couple of chickens."

Connor felt like getting out of his bed and whacking Lester round the head, obviously apologizing after, after all he did love his job.

"I know you can't respond. Just get better soon Temple."

Was that Lester actually caring, nearly getting eaten by a group of Compsognathus did have its benefits then? He just wished he could move, did all patients feel like this when they were waking up from a near death situation. Or was he dead? No impossible Connor thought and abolished that thought from his mind.

"We need help!" Sarah exclaimed running into the hospital. "He's in the car!"

Several doctors followed Sarah outside and collected Connor from Abby. Abby got out of the car in a daze still not believing what had just happened.

"What happened?" One of the doctors asked as they hurriedly wheeled him into a room.

"An exotic pet, a wild one just leapt on him."

"Pet?" Exclaimed the Doctor but decided to let it blow over his shoulders as he tried to stop the bleeding. "Please leave the room and go and wait in the waiting room. Miss Roberts will take you there!" Abby and Sarah were escorted out of the room and led to a waiting room, where they remained for most of the night waiting for any news.
