3 months later…
“I’m so thirsty”, Harry moaned. Her and Sarah were unconscious still when Danny and Lloyd went through the anomaly. They had to have the whole story explained.
“I’ll go and get some water”, Danny decided. He had a beard now, as did Lloyd. None of them were equipped for something like this. They had no medical kit, so had to be very careful with wounds. They had a small selection of food, and they had to kill fish from the nearby river to get food. Sarah thankfully had her asthma inhaler, as she’d struggle without it.
Meanwhile, Lester, Jess and Claudia had been imprisoned by Helen. As she’d stated before, they had connections to the government, and contacting them is exactly what she didn’t want. The Minister was also chained up.
On the other hand, Cutter, Jenny, Abby, Connor and Mia were still free, but they had returned to the ARC with half a team, and without Lester or Jess to help them. Lloyd’s manager came calling round, wondering about him as he had his new single to promote, but the team couldn’t tell him anything. As if he’d believe the true story.
Danny had ran to get the water, being very careful as to not be spotted by any creatures. Sarah had told them that they were in the Cretaceous era, and Danny recognised it. He had been there before with Abby and Connor, before Claudia and Cutter “came back”. Creatures around at this time included pterosaurs, Spinosaurus and Raptors, and all could be dangerous if they feel threatened. He filled up Sarah’s little water bottle to the top from the river, and crept back.
“Any news back from the Minister yet, Jenny?”, Cutter asked.
“No, not a word. I’ve checked Lester’s e-mails, and he’s not had an e-mail for him in three months”, Jenny replied.
“Wait, three months you say?”
“Yup, three months”
“Hang on, there’s something fishy going on here. He’s not sent an e-mail in three months, and that was when we last saw Lester and the others…”
“Cutter, they’re gone, there’s no point thinking about it anymore, it won’t bring them back”, Jenny tried to reason with Cutter.
“But that’s exactly what could happen. We could help get them back, I just need to work out how. Right, I think we need to pay the Minister’s office a little visit”
The prison cells at Helen’s lair were guarded by her soldiers. But neither the soldiers nor Helen or the Home Secretary were around at night, so the trio had been talking and working a way out. Today was the day. Lester and Claudia were going to distract Helen, whilst Jess grabbed the keys from the soldier in front of her cell’s keys.
“So Helen, you say that Cutter created the future world. Why haven’t you bothered killing him yet?”, Lester asked.
“It’s important that I wait for the right moment. There are four more people in the way, I need to make sure they’re not around then”, Helen revealed.
“OK, sounds fair enough. But are you sure that he even caused it? For all you know, it could be you that caused it”, Claudia mentioned.
”I just know. I have this instinct inside me”, Helen explained. By this point, Jess had retrieved the keys, and did a cough to signal this. She silently sat on the keys, as putting them in her pocket was too risky, and noisy.
Cutter and the team arrived at the Minister’s office, and were greeted by his secretary at the desk. After some questions, it turns out she doesn’t know where he is either and hasn’t seen him in three months.
“Do you mind if we have a look around in his office?”, Cutter asked.
“No, not at all. I hope you find something that can help us track him down”, the secretary smiled.
They entered his office, and flicked on the lights. It looks as if the office had been left unintentionally. The laptop was open, but was out of battery now. The police had been in before to investigate this disappearance, but had found nothing. But the team knew things the police didn’t, so that could work in their favour. Cutter went over to the desk, and saw two initials scrawled onto the laptop. H.C. He called the rest of the team over.
“I think someone wants our attention…”, Cutter hinted.
“Wait, I’ve got an idea”, Connor ran out to the secretary again, and got to the CCTV cameras. They went to the day of the anomaly at the school, and whizzed through the tapes, until they found a car, and out stepped the Home Secretary. Connor noted down the number plate.
“We can tap this into the Anomaly Detector and find out where it’s located”, Connor told them. He did it on his Handheld Detector, and it started beeping. The five of them ran out to the car.
“It’s getting dark”, Lloyd said. The four of them huddled together at this time of night, it was cold and they had no blankets. Life was tough, and they dreamt every night of finding an anomaly and being able to go home. But as they were snuggling up, they heard stomping, and looked up to see a Spinosaurus. They quickly packed up what little they had, and ran as fast as they could.
“Get into the trees!”, Danny ordered. They ran into there, because the Spinosaurus was too big to follow them in.
Helen, the Home Secretary and the soldiers had left the room for the night, and Lester, Jess and Claudia launched their escape. Jess quietly unlocked her door, before helping the others. Just as they were doing this, they heard a noise, and they quickly found a hiding place. A man burst in with a gun in his hand, but it wasn’t a soldier. It was a familiar man.
“Cutter?”, Claudia said. She ran out of the hiding place and into his arms. The other four walked in, and Lester and Jess came out too.
”We need to get out of here. Helen’s upstairs”, Jess explained.
“No, we need to find Danny. He opened an anomaly, but I have no idea where to”, Cutter mentioned, “Also, where’s the Minister?”
“He’s upstairs, we can’t get to him, I have no idea where Helen goes when she’s not here”, Claudia said.
“Also, Helen diverted a signal to the Late Cretaceous not long after we got here, the co-ordinates should be on this computer!”, Jess added.
“Fingers crossed they’re doing OK. It was terrifying when we got stuck there, even though it wasn’t for long”, Abby remembered.
“Exactly. That’s why we need to get to them soon”, Cutter concluded. Jess was tapping away at the computer system, and she found the co-ordinates in the computer’s history. Connor tapped it into his Anomaly Opener, and opened the anomaly. But just as he did so, the door burst open and soldiers walked in. Cutter shot the computer and it died completely, and the team went through the anomaly, rapidly closing it on the other side.
“So…late Cretaceous. What creatures could there be?”, Mia queried.
”Well, anything from Raptors to pterosaurs. There could even be a T-Rex”, Connor listed.
“Never mind the creatures, let’s just find them, and quickly”, Abby suggested.
They wandered into the trees, as it was probably the safest place there was.
Meanwhile, Danny and the others heard rustling, and were woken up by this sound. They moved closer together, wondering what was there. When they saw Cutter, they knew all was good. Everyone said hello to each other, and they went through an anomaly straight to the ARC, before telling each other their stories from the last three months.
“Do we think Helen’s giving up?”, Harry asked.
“No chance. She’s done all of this for a reason. There’s more to this story than we know, and we need to be ready for whatever she does next”, Cutter explained.
Helen had unchained the Minister, and had put him in the cells where Lester, Claudia and Jess were. She was angry. She knew exactly where they were, but was waiting for the right time. Everything would fall into place. They’d fall into the trap…again…
