Chapter 9
The light faded, and the group found themselves back in the Command Centre. Blinking, Sarah took a moment to take in her surroundings. Her confusion was only added to when Jess grabbed her and pulled her into a tight hug. Gasping for breath, she questioned "You alright Mum?"
Smiling as she let her daughter go, Jess explained "Whatever you did worked. All the creatures have gone."
"YES!" Nick cheered, pulling Sarah into yet another tight hug. Though this one she didn't seem to mind so much.
Grinning, Mac asked "Can we get on with our job now?" As much as he thought about teasing the young couple, but the fact he didn't really know them had stopped him.
Toby smiled, linking arms with Mac she smiled "There's nothing to do, the teams have taken the special opts back to the ARC, and the Navel Team have removed the bodies of the Stegosaurs and…" Looking nervously to Nick, she changed her phrasing "…the other creature. They're been taken to be destroyed."
Danny raised his eyebrows when he thought he heard Nick mutter the word Good. He glanced to Sarah, who shook her head, signalling him not to push the conversation. He just couldn't figure out why Abby's son would be glad a creature was been destroyed. He would have to ask Connor about it later.
Sitting back at her computer screen, Jess interrupted the group by saying "I don't believe this, there's an anomaly near the Elizabeth Fountain. You four should head over there."
Letting out a huge exaggerated sigh, Mac replied "No rest for the wicked."
"Let's get going then" Danny sighed, as the four ran off towards the fountain.
Stretching the crick out of his back Chris Walker, took a deep breath before walking up to Lester, "You have three brilliant teams under your command, James."
Smiling, smugly Lester replied "Careful Chris I could take that as a compliment."
"I wouldn't go that far" Chris answered, showing a slight grin. Taking a huge breath he said, "Look James, I'll have to speak to the United Nations in New York next week, but if you want it the jobs yours."
Pulling a confused face, Lester asked "What job?" He had an idea what Chris was talking about, but surely the only Prime Minister he didn't get along with wouldn't give him a job he has already turned down.
Sighing again, Chris explained "The head of ARC International." When Lester didn't respond he asked "Well? Do you want it?"
Lester seriously thought about the offer, but one question was concerning him, "What about me ARC?"
Walker let out a deep breath. It was really hard work to explain something's to Lester. "Anderson could easily take over, now he's mostly out of the field, he needs to do something."
Lester thought for a moment "True. Okay I'll take it." He only wished he had decided to do that twelve years ago, then of this would ever happen.
Walker smiled for the first time all day, "Good. I'll see what I can do."
Turning his face from Walker, Lester announced, "I can't forgive for what you did to my daughter, but thank you for offering me this position." Twenty years ago, Walker had been married to Lester's daughter, but he left her for her best friend. This caused a lot problems for Lester when he learned that Walker was his new minister.
Back at the Elizabeth fountain, Nick stood in front of the Anomaly holding the detector, trying to get a date from it. Everything was unusually quiet for an anomaly site, what could be going on?
Getting tired of waiting, Danny asked "Well?"
Nick pulled a confused face, before replying "Either June 14th 2012, April 19th 2011 or the Triassic. I don't get it." The unusual Anomaly didn't surprise him, nothing was making sense today.
Thinking for a moment, Mac exclaimed "Hang on, June 14th that's two days after I saved Evan!" Could this really be the anomaly that gives him his life back?
Hearing this, Danny thought back. While at the ARC in 2011, he was stood by the detector talking to Jess. After Jess made a joke, he laughed. The pain of the EMD impact hurt, so he steadied his self. Glancing up to take a breath, he saw the date in the bottom corner of the screen 'April 4th 2011.' "The other date is a few weeks after I run after Patrick."
Thinking this was too coincidental, Sarah thought back. Truman had said she left a little present for them, could she have meant the anomaly? Did she mean Mac and Danny could go back. Pulling Nick out of the two veterans ear shot, she said "That anomaly must lead to two other anomalies. Truman said she left the a present, this must be what she meant."
Thinking first, Nick replied "Are you seriously thinking about changing history?" That was the one rule they were never supposed to break. He had read that his namesake had changed history and lost the woman he loved and she came back as a different person, Connor had named it the Claudia Lewis theory.
Sighing, she looked at Nick, "How would you like to miss out on seventeen years of your life, we can give them their lives back. I think we should." Nick couldn't bring himself to say he agreed with her so he simply nodded. Smiling Sarah dragged Nick towards the veterans before announcing "Come on you two, you're going home."
As the four of them headed through the anomaly, they found themselves in the desert lands of the Triassic. And true to Sarah's prediction two anomalies stood in front of them. Nick still couldn't believe they were doing this, so he checked the anomaly on the left. "This one's yours Danny."
Smiling, Danny deactivated his armour revealing his filthy and torn clothes that he had been in when they chased Helen twenty years ago. He handed his EMD to Nick, "I only need this" he signalled to Molly.
Mac deactivated his own armour, showing his torn Canadian uniform. Pointing to the anomaly on the right, he asked "This one mine then?"
"Yup" Nick nodded, he was still dreading this.
Danny turned back to the pair, before asking "What about the versions of us in the Cryochambers?"
Thinking, that was a good question. Quickly thinking up a plausible answer he replied "The second you step through the other you will be erased from existence." It seemed plausible enough.
"Sounds fun" Mac sighed, "Thanks you two for helping us." With that he stepped through the anomaly.
Danny nodded to the pair "I best be off as well" Smiling he stepped towards the anomaly.
Nick's face lit up, he had the perfect way to use this to his advantage. "Danny!" Nick shouted, jogging up to ex-police man.
"Yeah?" Danny asked, turning to face the young Temple.
Nick took his wallet from his pocket. He quickly opened it before taking a small piece of crumpled paper. He opened it, before closing his eyes. Handing it to Danny he said, "Take it. You'll figure it out."
Glancing at the piece of paper, Danny nodded "I'll do what I can." With that he stepped through the anomaly, back into his life.
Well, what did you think? Just the Epilogue to go now, which should be uploaded later today.
Please review, I really appreciate hearing your opinions.
