Acacia Thalia Lykaious has been with the ARC team since the very beginning but her walls begin to crumble after watching Stephen lose his life. She's struggling to come to terms with the loss of Stephen and her mother and the years of emotional abus...
"The nest is a mess" Abby said as she and Connor walked back over to us as they searched for the creature but it had scampered up into the construction site.
"It could be anywhere" Abby tells us.
"It's been here for years and it knows the area well" I say.
"Anatosuchus, right, early Cretaceous?" Matt asked.
"Kaprosuchus, it's a Boar croc" Connor said, making Matt look at him impressed.
"That one had tusks, it's fully grown" Abby tells him.
"Nearly right though" Connor smiles at Matt.
"Better check outside".
"Connor your with me, Abby and Acacia take the perimeter, head north, we'll meet at the other side" Matt orders as him and Connor get in the car where Duncan remained as Abby and I made our way on foot to the docks.

Silently, the waves washed up the sides of the docks the cool breeze breaking the warm sun rays, the wind ran through my thick hair, blowing the curls around.
Many boats lined the wall, all different shapes and sizes, the water rippled in a certain spot, too large to be a fish, the shadow moved in the water "Matt, it's here, in the water".
"Can we track it by road?" Matt asked through the earpiece.
"No, it's heading into the harbour" Abby speaks as we notice the two men the speed boat "we're on it".
After a few attempts at convincing them, we were loaded into the boat and handed a small, black life jacket and after last time Abby stays in the middle of the boat.
"Got it guys" Abby says "twelve o'clock from my position".
"Abby, Acacia turn back" Matt ordered but for old time sakes we don't listen.
"What and lose it again".
We stood on the speed boat, clutching the bar as it advanced through the harbour, the shape of the Boar croc came into view, the driver spotted the moving creature and followed it.
"Ease up" I asked the operator, the boat slowed and eventually came to a halt, scanning the surrounding water, looking for the Boar croc as we looked the boat was knocked by something large sending the four of us on our hands and knees, sitting up watching the still water.
A while in front of us the ridged spine of the Boar croc appeared on the surface, it swan away from the boat, heading for a ship "the cargo ship, it's heading for the container port".
With a jolt the speed boat flew through the harbour until it reached the cargo ship "get yourselves out of her, now!" Abby tells the two me, they spun the speed boat around and headed back to land "Matt, we're on board".
