"Escape"
Abby Maitland was chatting to Connor Temple and Mia Turner. She got a call on her mobile. Abby’s facial expression declined. She flipped down her phone.
“Remember we put the Dracorex in that special place?”, Abby asked.
“Yeah, the place where they keep the Mammoth aswell?”, Connor remembered.
“Well, the Dracorex has escaped”, Abby broke the bad news.
”What?!”, said a shocked Connor.
Mia and Abby told the rest of the team, and Lester.
”You need to go out and find it then!”, ordered Lester.
“We would, if we knew where it went! It escaped last night, remember?”, retaliated Claudia.
“Hang on”, said Connor, who had just received an e-mail, “I have a reported sighting of it. It was quite near the canal”.
“The canal?!”, gasped Abby, “What if it drowns?!”.
“Well, you better get down there quickly then”, sighed Lester. The team wasted no time.
Several speed limit breaks later, the team arrived at the canal. There was no sign of the Dracorex.
“What if it’s already in the canal?”, worried Abby.
“We’ll send Mitchell and his soldiers out to look. Connor and Mia, go with the soldiers and take Abby with you. The rest of us will look on foot”, Danny decided. Everyone obeyed.
Abby, Connor, Mia, Captain Mitchell and the soldiers got into a boat and started scanning the canal. It was teatime before they finished, and nothing had come up.
“But what if it has started running around London?”, quivered a freezing cold Abby.
“Calm down! We’re going to find it. It’s been missing hours, so it can’t have gotten to Newcastle, can it?”, Mia said.
“I suppose”, re-thought Abby.
A search party was sent out around London, only within 20 miles, to look for the Dracorex. When the troops came back at morn, there was absolutely no sign of it.
“It must be in hiding”, Sarah suggested.
“Well, if that means it’s safe, that’s good news”, Jenny tried to reassure Abby.
“Yeah, they say no news is good news”, continued Lloyd.
“See! There’s no need to worry”, Connor put his hand on Abby’s shoulder.
“Stop being pathetic!”, Mia retaliated, “It’s just a creature that could be dangerous! You weren’t this worried when Rex, Sid and Nancy went through the anomaly at your flat!”.
“That was because it was their own era!”, Cutter argued back. Abby stormed out. Connor wasn’t sure whether to stay and give Mia a ticking off or go with Abby. He decided to go with Abby. He’d speak to Mia later, as he knew Lester would get there before him anyway.
Abby got into her car. Connor followed her close behind in one of the ARC cars.
“She’s going to the canal!”, shrieked Connor. When Abby got to the edge, she didn’t stop. She kept going. SPLASH! She hit the water. As she did, she saw the Dracorex at the side, and started banging on the door. Connor got out of the car, worried sick. It was too late. The car had submerged beneath the water…
