The team were at the ARC, getting to know their new PR assistant, Lucie Campbell. It had been 2 days since their leader, Katie Smith, got stuck through an anomaly. The anomaly had not re-opened.
“Let’s hope she finds food and water”, Mike hoped. Lucie was a bubbly person, but also one who liked getting the job done. She took no nonsense, much like Katie. She had long brunette hair which was tied up in a ponytail. She wore a suit. Georgia said she’d find running really uncomfortable in that. Alex was the temporary leader until they got Katie back/they had had a permanent replacement. Ben Taunton, their boss, had a pile of people from the Minister that they could have. He didn’t particularly like any of the CVs he was sent.
DING DING! DING DING! DING DING!
“What’s that?”, Lucie asked. The team hoped it was at the local park. It wasn’t.
“It means we’ve found an anomaly”, explained Alex.
The Anomaly Detectors led the team to a lake. An anomaly was sitting on top of it.
“We need to start checking the lakes. Nothing could’ve got out of the lake yet, it’s been open 5 minutes”, Captain Allen said. He got right to it. The team were advised to do nothing. Just watch around the lake.
“Is this it?”, moaned Sasha.
“Well, at least it’s not life threatening”, Jimmy added.
“But that’s the fun of it”, Sasha replied.
“Why don’t you go back and look through those CVs that Ben has? You should be able to choose your leader”, a soldier suggested.
“Excellent idea!”, Georgia cried. They all got back into the car and drove off.
“Why are you back so early?”, moaned Ben as soon as the team arrived back at the ARC.
“Nothing was happening with the anomaly, so we thought we’d look through these CVs for you”, Mike mentioned.
“I’ve already looked”, retaliated Ben.
“They’ll be our leader, we should be able to choose”, Alex replied.
“Why do I bother?”, Ben sighed.
Three hours later, the team had finished discussing the candidates. They had lowered it down to three people, but they weren’t up to Katie’s standard.
“This is hopeless”, sighed Georgia.
“Why don’t we just go and get bored at the anomaly site, instead of getting bored here?”, suggested Jimmy. The team agreed.
“I’ll call Allen”, Sasha decided. She dialled his number. No answer. She dialled another soldiers number. No answer.
“Must be too busy”, Sasha thought aloud. They all went to the cars.
Not long after, the team arrived. No-one was in site. The other cars had all doors open. There were drag marks in the mud.
“Something’s got them”, Alex stated.
“Well done for stating the bleedin’ obvious”, Mike sighed.
“Leave him alone, he’s doing his best”, Georgia scolded.
“Sorry, it’s just that I miss Katie”, Mike apologised.
”We all do, but we need to carry on. That’s what she’d do”, Alex decided. They all nodded. Suddenly, something that looked like a walrus jumped at them. They all ran out of the way. It chased them back to the cars. Another car pulled up, and distracted the creature. A pretty young woman with long blonde hair walked out and jumped straight of the way of the creature. Jimmy and Mike got their guns and started shooting it. It got hit, and lay dead on the floor, as lifeless as a blade of grass - until it woke up and grabbed Sasha. The woman dug her high heels into it, killing it stone dead, for definite this time. Sasha thanked the woman, and they introduced themselves and the team. The woman was Louise Hill.
“You’ll need to come back with us”, Alex commanded. Louise followed the team in her car promptly behind the team’s.
Louise had impressed Ben, so he asked the team if they’d like her to be their new leader. They all agreed, even though no-one would live up to Katie. They went to ask her. She said yes, after 10 minutes of non-stop thinking.
