"Long Time No See"
Guest Starring: Ruth Kearney
The ARC was busier than ever. Everyone was rushing around, trying to find the whereabouts of Helen Cutter. She had revealed to the ARC team that she was up to something. The problem was, the team didn’t know exactly what she was doing. They knew she was experimenting with anomalies, and they’d appear everywhere, but they wanted to know what Helen would get out of this, and the reason for doing it. What’s more, they were one man, or woman, down. It was Friday, which was Harry Stafford’s day off. She liked having a day to relax at home.
“Any sightings yet?”, Lester called as he watched down from the balcony outside his office.
“No”, most people shouted.
“Yes!!!!”, Connor ran in through the doors.
“You found something?”, Danny asked him.
“Yup. I checked the local CCTV cameras, and I spotted her entering this building that’s completely deserted. It’s gonna be demolished pretty soon”, Connor explained.
“Right, we need to get down there as soon as possible”, Nick Cutter started getting together a plan of action.
”Nick, Helen’s dangerous. Why are we going?”, Jenny asked.
“Jenny’s right”, Lester butted in from above, “It’s too dangerous for amateurs to go in. Let the professionals go”.
“But we know more about Helen. We’ve dealt with her countless times before. We can sort it out”, Abby argued. Everyone started talking and arguing at Lester at the same time.
“Cutter, could you please call your minions off me?”, Lester moaned. He spoke at normal level, but, amazingly, was heard over the racket the team were making.
“No ifs, no buts”, Lester said. And what Lester says, goes.
The soldiers left. Without them in the ARC, it was quite empty. There were a few researchers dotted around the place, and the team, and that was it. The team were really bored. All they could do was hope for an anomaly to open.
“Hey!”, Jess bounced over from her chair to where the team were gathered, “I could always sneak you out. I’ve got an overview of this whole place on my computer. I can close and open any doors I want to, and I could happen to accidentally allow you to escape”.
“Jess, you’re brilliant!”, Danny smiled.
”I know”, Jess joked. She went back to the Detector, which was her workstation. She brought up a new window, with an overview of the ARC. She clicked on a few doors, meaning they were locked. She turned out the lights. Lester was locked in his office, and couldn’t see anything.
“Go!!”, Jess shouted to the team. They legged it out of the doors. Jess deactivated the CCTV cameras outside of the ARC. The team got into the remaining cars and drove off to Helen’s hideout.
The soldiers, including Captain Mitchell, arrived at Helen’s base. She was prepared. She watched out of the dirty window on the top floor as they left their cars. She had a getaway though. She opened an anomaly and stepped through. She closed it on the other side…
Jess lit up the ARC again and reactivated the CCTV cameras. She then unlocked all doors.
”Jess, what on earth is going on?”, a distressed Lester called down from his office.
”There’s a problem in the system. I’m running a few checks right now”, Jess lied.
“Where are the team?”, Lester asked as he walked onto the balcony and down the ramp.
“I think they’re in one of the labs. Sarah wanted to show them something, I believe”, Jess was a very good liar. Lester seemed to believe it. He walked back up to his office.
Whilst the soldiers were searching the building, the team arrived. They walked into the building and proceeded to the stairs. They each took a floor to search. Cutter had the top floor. He walked in to the only room on that floor, behind a few soldiers. He saw a note stuck to the wall with blu-tac. Cutter picked it up and read it. It said “Disloyal Lend”. He was confused by this. He spoke to the other team members via his earpiece. They all met him up on the top floor. It was a struggle for Jenny, as she was wearing heels.
“But what could that mean?”, Sarah asked, “It seems like some anagram”.
“For what though?”, Claudia added.
“Surely there’s some website where we can type it in and find out what it could be?”, Mia suggested.
Harry was getting herself ready. She was going clubbing for the night with her friends. She hadn’t been clubbing for a year or two, so it was going to be fun for her.
Helen was in another time. It was the future. She saw the ruined buildings, rusty cars and cliff edges that she was now very familiar with. She walked over to the entrance of the future ARC. She edged open the door just enough for her to squeeze through, then pushed it back again. She walked over to the futuristic computer. Then she started tapping in data…
Connor and Sarah drove back to the ARC. They ran through the corridor and into the Main Operations Room. Lester saw them, but took no notice. He still thought they were in another lab.
“Jess, could you bring up an internet browser please?”, Connor asked her, panting.
“Sure. Why?”, Jess did so.
“Open Google and search for anagram creator”, Sarah commanded. Jess followed the orders.
“Now type in Disloyal Lend”, Connor finished. Jess did so, and loads of possibilities came up. After scrolling down, one of them stuck out like a sore thumb. They raced back to the building, after thanking Jess. Good thing it was only a 5 minute drive away.
Helen walked over to the corner of the room she was situated in the future ARC.
“Have you missed me?”, she smirked to the young boy, sitting there, tied up…
Connor and Sarah arrived back. They raced up the stairs, taking a quick break for Sarah to use her asthma inhaler, to the top floor where the rest of the team were.
“Helen’s in the future”, Connor blurted out as he burst through the doors.
“How do you know?”, Mia asked.
Harry was partying with her friends, dancing to her favourite song.
Helen walked back to the computer, and slotted in an Anomaly Opener. She pressed the screen several times, and typed in the code that was present on the side of the Artefact. She pressed more buttons on the screen, and anomalies started appearing everywhere.
Harry’s party was disturbed. Anomalies were appearing at her party aswell.
“Oh no”, she muttered to herself. A Raptor ran out one of them. Harry ran outside…
Back in the Future with Helen, her “friend” moved himself through an anomaly. It was one to the present day…
Anomalies were opening by the team aswell. And one of them, a young man, around 18 years old, jumped out. He was tied up.
“…It translates as Lloyd Daniels”, Connor finished his sentence, shellshocked. The young man was indeed Lloyd, who was once thought lost. The team didn’t know whether to be shocked or happy, or both…
“Any sightings yet?”, Lester called as he watched down from the balcony outside his office.
