"The Start of the End"​

Jenny Lewis walked up to her house. She noticed it was for sale. I didn’t put it up, she thought. Then she remembered that she was in a different universe, where Nick Cutter and Stephen Hart were alive, and her doppelganger Claudia Brown existed. Jenny dialled Claudia’s number on her phone.
“Hey, do you mind if I stay at yours for a bit? My house…well, it’s a bit confusing,” Jenny asked.
“OK, it’s just I hope you don’t have much stuff, I’m short on space,” replied Claudia.
Jenny flipped down the phone.
 
Abby Maitland and Connor Temple returned to their flat, and found the old tatty flat that they used to live in. In their universe, Abby’s flat was much nicer, and shad just bought the downstairs flat too.
”Woah, this is different,” commented Connor.
Rex flew down and landed on Abby’s shoulder. Sid & Nancy came running to Connor’s feet.
“At least these guys are still here!,” cheered Abby.
 
In the street where the last anomaly had opened, Helen Cutter stood, planning out what to do next. She had a piece of technology that she picked up from the future on her when she fell. It was a small device, that can stop you from dying, but if you do get shot or badly wounded, you can pretend to be dead by letting it stop your breathing and pulse, and the device will keep you alive. Helen had this on her when the Raptor knocked her off the cliff. She used it to stop her breath and pulse, but stayed alive. That’s why Danny thought she was dead.
 
Back at the Home Office, James Lester was having a go at Claudia for using a gun the last time there was an anomaly.
”But Stephen can use guns,” moaned Claudia, sounding like a little kid not being allowed sweets.
“He’s had practice, you haven’t. You...” shouted Lester, not continuing his sentence, as the Anomaly Detector went off. Lester dialled Abby and Connor’s phones.
 
Becker and Claudia arrived at the anomaly site. It was an old abandoned office building. Abby and Connor pulled up in Abby’s stylish car behind them.
”Hang on, I know this place!,” said Connor, trying to think where it was.
“It’s Johnson’s base, you nutters,” replied Claudia, giving Connor a funny look.
“Hey, do you know where it is yet?,” came a voice from behind. It was Nick Cutter, with Stephen and Danny following behind him.
”Yeah, it should be up there,” said Connor, looking at his detector.
 
Back at the Home Office, Lester and Sarah were discussing the plans for the ARC. Sarah was trying hard to make it like it was back in the “real” world, where Cutter was dead.
“The detector can go in the centre of the Operations room, with some tables in front of it with research on. Cutter needs an office aswell,” mentioned Sarah.
“But what about me, I’m more important than Cutter,” moaned Lester.
 
Helen Cutter picked up a signal on her detector. It was an anomaly.
”At Christine Johnson’s base. Perfect,” said Helen, thinking out loud. Her plan was unravelling in her head.
 
The team made their way up to the room where the anomaly should be. And just as the detector said, the anomaly was there. Becker set up the Anomaly Locker, and locked the anomaly, to stop any Megopterans or Future Predators coming through.
 
Helen sneaked into the office block. She noticed a dead soldier on the floor, and stole one of his guns. She kept it for self defence. She went up to the room where the anomaly was, but decided not to go in as the team were in there. But when she got there, Danny and Stephen saw her and ran up to her. Helen got out her gun, and backed them into the anomaly room.
“How, what, why?…,” stuttered Danny, shocked to see Helen.
“Oh, just a piece of future technology,” replied Helen, not saying much else.
“Helen, just leave the gun. You don’t need to do this,” said Cutter, trying to reason with his wife.
“Oh, Nick, I’ve only just started,” answered Helen, with a devious tone in her voice.
Becker tried to shoot her, but she got there first and shot him. Becker lay in pain on the floor.
“Helen, why did you do that?,” shouted Connor, angry at Helen.
”I can’t let anyone stop me from my work,” said Helen, proud of her work.
Stephen tried to get her from behind, but again, Helen got there first. Stephen also lay on the floor.
“Open the anomaly,” commanded Helen.
Abby opened the anomaly.
“Now give me the Anomaly Creator. Do it now and don’t waste time,” ordered Helen.
Jenny reluctantly handed it to Helen. Both her and Claudia had a look of disgust in their face.
“My my, both Claudia and Jenny in the same place at the same time, with the same expression on the face. How extraordinary,” commented Helen, when she didn’t need to.
”Helen, we will stop you. It’s just a matter of time,” said Claudia, with a tone of confidence in her voice.
“Oh, time isn’t always on your side, as we know more than anyone,” said Helen.
She stepped through the anomaly, and closed it on the other side.
“We’ve lost her,” said Danny, annoyed.
“We need to find another creator. There must be one somewhere!,” thought Connor.
”The racetrack!,” said Abby, with a grin on her face, “there must be one in the future ARC.”
Jenny was desperately helping Becker on the floor, and Cutter was urging Stephen on. Becker shut his eyes, and Jenny felt his pulse. He didn’t have one. Cutter then felt Stephen’s, and his pulse had gone too.
“They’re both dead,” said Jenny, with tears forming in her eyes.
Abby cried on Connor’s shoulder, and even Cutter was starting to cry.
 
Lester had been informed about the deaths.
“Looks like we needed Jenny and Danny after all,” said Lester, feeling a little dull.
 
Helen was thinking through her plan one more time, in the future ARC. On the computer, it showed she had a big route to go through. Several visits to the Cretaceous, Permian and many other eras. She was planning to stop the deadly creatures from dying out, so they would kill all the humans. Her 3rd attempt to kill humanity.
