Series 1 Episode 8
"Not As Easy As It Seems"

James Lester was raging with anger. Helen Cutter had just ran in and cornered him and his colleagues at gunpoint. For once, he actually wanted Nick Cutter to be there.
 
But Cutter was already occupied. 2 members of his team, Sarah Page and Mia Turner, had just got stuck through an anomaly. Then the remaining members of the team got back to find a load of Silurian era Giant Scorpions roaming the London Recreation Ground.
“Pinch me, I’m dreaming”, muttered a shocked Connor. Abby took the opportunity and pinched him.
“Ow! I didn’t mean literally!”, said Connor, wailing like a little boy.
“Oi, this is no time for playing around”, said Danny, sternly.
 
Mia and Sarah were crying their eyes out in the Silurian era. Suddenly, something beeped. Sarah went through her pockets, and found an Anomaly Opener! Connor gave it to her for safe keeping, but he didn’t get it back! Just as well really. Sarah entered the co-ordinates, and opened the anomaly! The pair stepped through, but they weren’t in the play area, they were in another era altogether!
 
The Giant Scorpions noticed Cutter and his part of the team, and they ran towards them. The group ran as fast as they could. One of the Scorpions caught Jenny, but Abby shot it and Jenny broke free. Claudia helped her catch up. Connor and Danny rushed up the slide, while Cutter and Abby jumped over the swings and headed for a tree to climb. Jenny and Claudia ran towards the car, and only just got inside. The Scorpions were snapping at the windows, trying to get in.
 
Lester ordered Helen to drop her weapons, but she shot the man next to Lester. Just as she did that, the soldiers who went out to arrest her came back and handcuffed her. Lester breathed a sigh of relief.
 
Mia and Sarah were surrounded by loads of gas at their feet.
“It stinks!”, remarked Mia, holding her nose.
“You can say that again”, replied Sarah. She had another go at entering the co-ordinates, and opened an anomaly. This time she peaked through it first, to make sure it was the right era, then they went through. They ended up in the park again. Mia spotted Connor and Danny sitting at the top of the slide. She waved at them, and they waved back. Sarah nearly forgot to close the anomaly, but remembered just as she looked round. A Scorpion was on its way over to the girls. Mia screamed, well as Sarah ran. Mia took off her high heels, and went off after her. They jumped up and caught hold of the monkey bars, and pulled themselves up.
“How did you get back?”, Connor shouted over.
”Remember you gave me the Anomaly Opener? Well, I used that!”, Sarah shouted back. All of a sudden, soldiers from the Home Office came in and shot the Scorpions. Sarah let go and landed on her feet. She opened an anomaly to the Silurian era, the soldiers tried getting them back in. Only one Scorpion ended up dead, after a soldier shot it. One Scorpion gobbled up another soldier. That too ended up being shot, but the rest got through. Sarah closed the anomaly.
 
The reunited team all went back to the Home Office, to find a shocked Lester sitting in his office.
”What happened?”, asked Cutter, trying not to laugh.
“Your wife happened, Cutter. She came in and had us cornered at gunpoint. She shot my PA! Who can make me cups of tea now?”, moaned Lester.
“He’s fine”, whispered Claudia to Mia, who didn’t know Lester as well as the others.
“And where is she now?”, queried Abby.
“Locked up in jail, where she belongs”, answered Lester.
 
In the nearest Police Station, Sergeant King was busy patrolling the cells. As he passed Helen Cutter’s cell, Helen sneaked her hand out of the window that as accidentally left open, and takes Sergeant King’s gun and keys. She put the key in the lock, opened the door, and shot Sergeant King. Helen left a bomb in her cell. She ran over to the front desk, shot the policeman, and took back her belongings. She opened her anomaly, and ran through it, and just as the station blew up, Helen closed the anomaly. But where did she go?
 
James Lester heard reports from the Minister that the nearest jail had been blown up. It was the one where Helen Cutter was in.
”Do you think it’s to do with Helen?”, asked Claudia, worried.
“Most likely”, answered Lester, “The CCTV videos are still intact, and they are being sent through now. Aha, here they are”.
The team watched the one that was surveying Helen’s cell. They saw a hand coming out her cell, and stealing a gun and the keys. Then they see Helen coming out, and running off. Then all they see is an explosion.
“And that’s all we’ve got”, cleared up Lester.
“Helen’s free again, and she’s gonna be looking for revenge,” muttered Cutter.
