"A Day Out"
Guest Starring: Ruth Kearney and Cheryl Cole
The team were not in a very happy mood. Just the day before, Lloyd Daniels, their colleague and friend, was trapped in the Future. He, Nick Cutter and Connor Temple had to save James Lester from someone called Aplo Sparks and some future creatures. Lloyd was seriously injured, and had asked Connor to leave him behind. Jenny Lewis was affected more than the others. Jenny used to be in a relationship with Lloyd. Claudia Brown was comforting her, despite it not sinking in for her either.
It was a nice day in the countryside. The sun was shining, the birds were singing. On the local farm, the farmer was planting some crops. What he didn’t notice was that a big ball of like has opened in one of the other fields. He also failed to notice what came out of it. It instantly noticed the farmer, and ran towards him. The poor farmer didn’t stand a chance when it dug its sharp claws into his body…
DING DING! DING DING! DING DING!
“Anomaly detected. Location:…”, Jess did the usual procedure, but was cut off. The anomaly signal had stopped.
“The anomaly must have closed”, Connor announced.
“Oh well, all the better for us”, Lester moaned.
DING DING! DING DING! DING DING!
“It’s re-opened”, Sarah said.
“No, it’s in a different place. But from the analysis, the anomaly is the same size in the same area. This one seems more stable”, Jess corrected Sarah.
“Right, get down there”, Lester commanded.
“Hang on, what day is it?”, Mia asked.
“It’s Tuesday, so…”, Harry told her, then ran to the rota, “Danny, Sarah, Claudia, Jenny and…”. Harry would’ve said Lloyd next…
“Are you OK to go?”, Danny checked with Jenny.
“Yeah, I’ll be fine”, Jenny wiped some tears away. The foursome ran outside and to the cars. Danny popped back.
“Where’s the anomaly again?”, Danny smiled.
It was half an hour before the team arrived in the country. All seemed nice and peaceful. Sarah looked at her handheld detector.
“It should be in this farm somewhere”, she told Danny.
“Right, Jenny, you go with Sarah and see if you can find the farmer, or farmers. Claudia and I will have a bit of a prowl”, Danny ordered.
Someone burst through the ARC doors. It was none other than friend of the team Cheryl Cole. Connor had informed her about Lloyd and she had come to visit.
“It’s really true, isn’t it?”, she said, walking up to Connor. It was obvious she’d been crying. Her make-up was running down her cheeks. But she didn’t care.
“There was nothing we could do. He was badly injured. But for all we know, he could still be out there, fighting for survival”, Connor tried to reassure her.
“Even if he was killed in that world, he won’t be dead for another x number of centuries, so officially he is still alive”, Lester butted in.
“Do you want a cuppa?”, Mia offered. Cheryl nodded.
Danny and Claudia were walking through the fields.
“You’re gonna pay for a new pair of shoes for me!”, Claudia joked. They were interrupted by a growl. They looked around, but could not see anything. They proceeded to look for the anomaly.
“Hello?”, Jenny called from outside the farmhouse.
”Maybe they’re out on the fields?”, Sarah suggested.
“Danny or Claudia would have called us by now”, Jenny replied. They heard a noise.
“What’s that?”, Sarah was worried. It came from inside the house. Sarah and Jenny both turned around, incase their ears were deceiving them. When they did so, a sloth-like creature propped itself up against the window behind them. You could see its breath against it. It moved away just before they turned back around.
“Let’s get out of here”, Jenny decided. Just when she said that, the window was smashed as the creature came right through the window. Jenny pulled out her tranquilliser gun. She fired at the creature. It was knocked out. Jenny and Sarah escaped.
“Jess, we’ve found the anomaly”, Claudia said through her earpiece.
”Excellent. Jenny, have you found the farmer?”, Jess asked.
“No, but we found a creature!”, Jenny told them.
”What’s it like?”, Connor rushed to the Detector, next to Jess.
”It’s like a giant sloth thing, a bit like a bear”, Jenny explained.
“And it’s absolutely massive”, Sarah added.
“It sounds like a Megatherium, from the Pliocene era. It kills its prey by stabbing them with its sharp claws”, Connor identified it.
“Well, we need back-up. Jess, where are they?”, Jenny demanded.
“They should be on their way”, Jess told them, “Hang on, they’ve stopped. Just down the road. Captain Mitchell, can you hear me?”.
“Yeah, I’m fine. The car crashed. Something jumped in front. The rest of the soldiers are either dead or injured. I just escaped myself”, Mitchell explained.
“What jumped in front? What type of creature? A dog, an owl, a lion, a Mega-something-or-other?”, Danny asked.
”Some kind of bear”, Mitchell told them.
“So there’s more than one. Great”, Jenny sighed.
Cheryl was shaking just drinking her tea. All she could imagine is Lloyd, injured, surrounded by creatures. Connor was a big help, but there wasn’t much he could do.
Jenny and Sarah met up with Danny and Claudia. They had to find another creature, pronto, before it reached the nearby village. Mitchell ran up to them aswell.
“We desperately need to find the creature”, Danny told them. They didn’t split up, as it was too dangerous. Together, they ran through the fields. They didn’t realise the creature was following them. It pounced, and Mitchell turned around just in time to tranquillise it. They all dodged and it landed on the floor.
“We need to get them back through the anomaly as soon as possible”, Mitchell said.
More soldiers were sent out to move the tranquillised Megatheriums back through the anomaly, and more did a search of the area, to make sure there were no more. An ambulance was sent out to the injured soldiers, and the team returned back.
“Lloyd would’ve enjoyed this”, Jenny said to Cheryl. They smiled at each other.
“Maybe it’s best if I stay away from here? It’s just gonna bring back all of these memories. It’s not fair on you or me”, Cheryl decided. Jenny nodded.
