"Playtime's Over"
Katie Smith was sitting in her office with the door open. She saw Alex Johnston walk by.
“Alex!”, she called out. Alex came back and entered her office.
”Claudia sent me the plans for a device called the Anomaly Locker. Apparently it locks the anomalies so nothing can get through. You think you could build it?”, continued Katie.
“I’ll try”, smiled Alex.
DING DING! DING DING! DING DING!
They were interrupted by the unmistakable sound of the Anomaly Detector. Everyone, as usual, rushed over to it’s position at the centre of the Main Operations Room.
“It’s at the park”, Mike Andrews announced.
The team set off. They packed up the weapons and got into the cars. The military came with them, including Captain Allen, who had to protect the team after the incident with the Future Predators was a near-fatal experience for Jimmy. They headed straight for the park. It was completely empty, considering it was midnight. Well, empty apart from the usual teenagers standing on swings and doing graffiti. They all scarpered suddenly.
“They make it seem like a Raptor’s chasing them”, laughed Georgia. But how right she was. A Raptor ran out of the shadows and after the group of teenagers. They looked so scared. Katie was shocked. She’d never seen anything like that before, and didn’t expect to. She was rather pleased with herself for seeing one. But she had bigger problems. People could die, and the anomaly had to be found.
”I wish you had that Anomaly Locker done!”, whispered Katie.
“You should’ve told me before then!”, Alex hissed back.
“I forgot!”, insisted Katie. Alex rolled his eyes.
The soldiers and their gunshots distracted the Raptor from the teenagers. It ran straight at them and knocked one of the soldiers over, devouring him in no time.
Ben Taunton was having some trouble with the Minister over the phone. James Lester had suggested that they had a “PR supremo”. Ben did not agree with the idea, but when he got a call from Katie saying that teenagers were chased by a Raptor, he agreed with the idea.
Back at the park, the team were having a lot of trouble with the Raptor. Georgia, Sasha and Jimmy had gone to find the anomaly, on Katie’s order, while she stayed and distracted the Raptor with Mike and Alex. It was getting hungry, despite eating the soldier. The rest of the soldiers, including Captain Allen, stood at the sides doing nothing, as one wrong move could get everyone killed. Ben would kill him if he let that happen. Georgia came back and whispered where the anomaly was to Katie. She started to lure the creature towards the anomaly with Georgia. Alex and Mike went to stand with the soldiers. They reached the anomaly, and the Raptor was just about to go through it when another one jumped out. They both ran off into the darkness.
“Damn it!”, screamed Katie.
It was 3am by the time the soldiers had found something. One Raptor lay dead on the floor.
“They didn’t run off together, the first one got chased”, established Georgia.
“Cannibals”, added Sasha.
“Indeed. But we need to find this last one. Fast”, ordered Mike. They continued searching. Suddenly, the Raptor jumped out in front of them and chased them. They split up. The Raptor chased Katie. She ran straight towards the only shining light around - the anomaly. She didn’t stop running when she got there, oh no, she carried on running. The Raptor went straight through the anomaly. The rest of the team gathered around the anomaly, keeping their distance. It started closing.
“She’s going to be trapped!”, cried Sasha. She started to run towards it, but Jimmy held her back.
“We can’t have anyone else getting trapped!”, he yelled. The anomaly flickered once more before closing. It was gone. Katie was gone.
The team all went back to the ARC. Alex started work on the Anomaly Locker, but couldn’t help crying. No-one was in the mood for anything. Ben came down from his office.
“We have a new PR official coming in about 5 minutes. Make the place as neat as possible. Where’s Katie?”, moaned Ben. Jimmy went and told him.
“Oh. Well, Alex, you’re temporary leader until we get a permanent fixture”, Ben decided.
”You mean you’re just going to let this pass?”, shouted Mike.
“Mike’s right, we need to get her back”, Jimmy added.
Georgia went over to Alex.
“Don’t worry, we’ll get her back. We’ll show him”, she reassured him. He smiled. They moved for each other, but were stopped by the doors opening. A pretty lady with long brunette hair walked in. She was wearing a suit and high heels.
“Ah, this is Lucie Campbell, new head of PR”, Ben introduced her.
“Alex!”, she called out. Alex came back and entered her office.
”Claudia sent me the plans for a device called the Anomaly Locker. Apparently it locks the anomalies so nothing can get through. You think you could build it?”, continued Katie.
