A Jecker Story - Chapter 7 - Jess' POV
We finally made our way back and made our way to the anomaly site and found the team fighting with this big bird like animal, it looked sort of similar to a terror bird but bigger and a smaller beak. Me and Becker grabbed the EMDs and started helping the team "What is it?" I called out to Connor over all the noise.
"It's a Gigantoraptor from the Late Cretaceous they are scavengers but because of the size of it it's causing disturbances and it doesn't want to go it wants to fight us!" He called back.
We zeroed in on it and we took fire but it wasn't going down, it just kept fighting back. It started running and one of its feet landed on a solider and it crushed him I rushed over to him "He still has a pulse!" I shouted but everyone had run off after the creature I don't think they realised what had happened they all just kept running after it. I went to tap my comms to talk but realised I didn't have it in I had left it in the car. I looked down at the solider and checked his pulse and although it was there it was faint "Don't die on me" I whispered to me.
"Give this... My wife. Tell her. I... I love her and baby" He held something out and I took it then looked at what he had given me, it was a dog tag with the words 'Follow The Light And Come Home To Me' engraved on it "She brought... Birthday" He was dying in my arms and I was alone here "Thank you for... Staying" He said and I nodded with tears falling down my face.
"I wasn't going to let you do this alone" I told him holding his hand tightly.
"Captains lucky" He stated and it made me smile.
His eyes closed and I checked his pulse but it wasn't there. He was dead. I took my jacket off and covered his face with it and put his dog tag in my pocket so I wouldn't forgot about it. I heard a screeching behind me and turned to see another one of those Gigantoraptor's but it was smaller then the one the others had run off to chase, this must be that ones baby. I grabbed my EMD and started shooting at it but it started rushing at me.
I ran to the car and locked the door "Yeah Jess lock the door it defiantly isn't getting in" How stupid was that? I got a comm out of the cars glove compartment and put it in "Hello?" I questioned.
"Jess?" Matt's voice asked over the comm.
"Yeah it's me, one of the soldiers was crushed when the creature ran off and I stayed with him I tried to call you all back but you had already gone. He's dead but now there's another one I think it's the baby and now I'm locked in Becker's car" I explained to him.
"OK I'm sending Becker back to you now with Connor" He said.
"OK tell them to hurry because this thing is nearly through the window" I called out. I had my EMD ready to shoot incase it gets in before Becker ad Connor get here, these things are tougher then they look "Hurry up guys" I said to myself. The creature jumped on the bonnet of a car and started attacking the window screen, I climbed into the back of the car and watched as it nearly came through and just as the window smashed the creature fell off the car and Becker's face was where the creature's was seconds before "You're here!" I called out and got out of the car to hug him.
"Yeah I didn't do anything" Connor teased and huffed jokingly so I hugged him too.
"One of your men died, he's over there" I pointed to where he was and Becker made his way over there "It's Daniels... He's only been in the job six months" he shock his head before putting the jacket over his face again.
"He told me to give this to his wife" I showed Becker the dog tag "Do you know her?" I asked, Becker made sure to know the soldiers family so they feel comfortable with the job.
"Yeah her name's Emma... She five months pregnant" He explained.
Becker's POV
I hated this part of the job it killed me every time, I knocked and the door opened a couple of moments later the door opened and Emma seen me, she knew why I was here and tears fell down her face and she opened the door for me to come in "How did it happen?" She asked as we sat down on the sofa.
"Crushed. So you know he wasn't alone he had someone there with him right to the very end and he said how much he loved you and the baby and he wanted you to have this..." I handed her the dog tag.
"I got him this for his birthday... I just cannot believe he's gone" She started crying hysterically and I put my arm around her "Can you help me up the stairs please I don't think I could make it" I nodded and helped her up to her room and she climbed into bed with her clothes on and I put the covers over her "Thank you" She smiled at me and closed her eyes.
As I left her room I made sure all of the windows upstairs were locked and then when I went downstairs I locked the back door and checked all the windows and made sure nothing could happen to her, I seen a piece of paper and a pen on the counter and wrote her a note;
You know that if you ever need anything you can always give me a call, my number is: 07283636283. Please do not hesitate to call, Becker.
I left her house and made my way to my apartment and when I got there I seen Jess sitting on my sofa "Hey, how did you get in?" I asked confused.
"You know for a military man you have rubbish hiding places for your spare key... On top of the door frame, really?" She questioned. I laughed a little and I sat down next to her and hugged her "How did it go?" She asked.
"How do you think? It was horrible she was crying and it was horrible, I checked her windows and that before I left and gave her my number incase she needs anything" I explained to her.
She smiled at me "You're a nice man you know... I'm lucky your mine" I kissed her and she kissed me back "Shall we put a movie on and have a cuddle?" I asked her and she nodded "You can choose the movie" She looked excited and run over to the DVD collection "Sorry there isn't a lot of choice" I told her.
She put a disc on and came and cuddled into me "You'll like this movie" She said, the film started and it was I Am Number 4 "I think it's a great movie" She stated.
Half way through the movie I looked over at Jess and seen that she was asleep snoring lightly, I carefully picked her up and somehow managed to turn the TV and everything off and we went to bed, she stirred a little as I put the covers over her but she stayed asleep.
I couldn't sleep I had so much on my mind right now I hate losing a solider in battle and although they know this when they sign up for the job it's still hard and now for the next few weeks the other soldiers were going to be mopping around and although now I had to be a dick and make everyone work harder to get their minds off it.
Hey guys I was thinking of writing a story which was a Primeval and House of Wax crossover, the story will be similar to the movie but with some added bits and with the Primeval characters
