Primeval's Twist (A Primeval/Captain Becker Fan Fiction)

Chapter 16: A Dead Future (part 2)✔️✔️

"What's happened to this place?" Becker wondered.

"Where is everyone?" I added as we followed Danny.

"Let's just concentrate on the job, he can't of gone far." Danny walked in the lead.

"Unless he's spooked." Becker wrapped his free had around mine, this place giving both of us a bad feeling.

"He'll be somewhere nearby, he's not an idiot." Abby shook her head.

"Well..." Becker snorted.

"Abby," Danny called her attention. "Look." He pointed to the orange sports car from before.

"The car!" Abby shouted.

The street to the car was blocked with a row of broken cars. Abby, Connor and I walked down one side of the near-demolished vehicles while Becker and Danny took the other.

"Jack!" Abby began shouting his name as she ran. "Jack! Jack!"

As Abby began shouting, a predator suddenly emerged on the wall above her.

"Up there!" Becker shouted as he raised his gun at it.

Connor ran and grabbed Abby, wrapping his hand around her mouth.

"No!" I shouted to Becker as he made to shoot at the creature.

However, both he and Quinn ignored me, firing off at the predator and shooting it down.

"Come on!" Danny shouted to us.

Abby and Connor ran between two cars to get to Becker and Danny, me following close behind.

"Go! Go!" Becker shouted as he took up the rear and pushed me forwards, after the others, in the opposite direction of the car.

We ran into the front porch of a large, stone building to hide.

"Well done," Abby spat at Becker. "You've just alerted every predator for miles!"

"I'm sure your shouting already did that." I muttered dryly.

"Well I didn't have much choice, did I, Abigail?" Becker spat at her in a whisper.

"What are you talking about? Danny asked quietly.

"Predators," Connor began. "They're uh, well we don't know how or when they evolved, but we know they're intelligent and quick and... Really mean."

Danny and Becker just stared at him. Becker pulled me into his side, so all sides of me were protected between him and a stone column. He raised his gun for further protection and scanned the surroundings.

"It's a case of we kill them or they kill us." I whispered.

"Why are we whispering?" Becker hissed.

"They locate their prey with echolocation." I rested my head against his arm, not happy to see these things again.

Danny raised his eyebrows, confused.

"They see sound." Connor filled.

Danny sat, Becker following and pulling me into his lap. Abby and Connor shared a look.

"If they got loose," Connor looked around. "Humanity never stood a chance."

"That's it, we go back, we need backup." Becker glared at Abby.

"He could be injured." Tears sprang to Abby's eyes. "We can't leave him here with those creatures."

"Yeah? Well I'm not risking her." Becker sent a nod in my direction.
