Professor Nick Cutter

Helen was furious. None of this had gone to plan, she had Nick and Connor right where she wanted them and now they refused to give despite how badly they were hurting. She let out a scream of frustration and threw the cattle proud on the ground. ( Cutter never thought it would end like this ) [adapted in parts from series 3 episode 3 'Medical Mayhem'.

Cutter didn't know how long it had been since Helen had left them in the cell, "Connor, do you think the others will be alright," he finally asked, still feeling guilty that they were all in this position because of him. ( Cutter couldn't believe this was happening again ) [the next part of the update. Adapted in parts from Series 3 Episode 3 'Medical Mayhem'. Major CW for violence, assault and emetophobia.

They made it in good time to the restaurant that they were going to eat at, Lester had helped Cutter with the reservations earlier and Cutter looked around in awe at the place. "Now this is definitely fancy," he said with a smile as they waited to be taken to their table. ( It was time to celebrate the end of house arrest ) [preplayed with the amazing anomaly_research_nerd.

It had been several long days between getting rescued from Christine and Wilder's clutches, everything still ached from those punches that Wilder had subjected him to but he was just glad to be able to get away from them. Now he and Connor would be serving several months house arrest in Fandom starting from the New Years as part of their deal to avoid jail, he stared down at the monitor that was on his ankle. It didn't feel real, everything that they had endured but he got to be with Connor and they weren't in jail so at least that something. He numbly sat down on the couch in their flat once they had returned to Fandom, "it still feels like everything's a dream," he said softly, "I never thought I'd be back in Fandom ... especially under these circumstances," ( They were finally back in Fandom ) [the final part.

It was a few hours later and everyone had been looked after by the medical staff and given their respective strong doses of pain medication, they were under strict instructions to not move from the med bay while they recovered from the worst of their injuries. Lester had stayed with them and the security team who were providing additional security in case Christine decided to mount another attack while they were still picking up the pieces. Right now everyone was sleeping off their sedatives so all Lester could do right then was sit by their bedsides and wait, he knew he had a long way to go to even make this right with them, he should never have let things get this far with Christine, he was a terrible leader.

One morning, several weeks after there had been hiding at the safe house, Jenny had managed to get a hold of Lester one morning and had been able to talk to him for a few minutes. She came back looking very troubled, "I talked to James," she said softly, "we're going to have company, he says Christine's figured out a rough idea of the safe house," Cutter paled considerably at that and looked nervously at Connor.

A few days after the party, Cutter was starting to get rather restless from being cooped up in the safe house for so long, so he was rather relieved when Becker and Danny assigned him and Connor to go and collect more firewood for the fire. "I'm actually rather glad we got this assignment," he admitted to Connor as they walked towards the shed, "I think I needed to get outside for a bit," he said.

It had been a few days since they had made it to the safe house and they had more or less settled into a routine as much as it was possible to do so in the circumstances. Becker and Danny were recovering from their injuries but they were starting to feel better and they were starting to get out of bed some more and Sarah thought that since Becker and Danny were getting better that they could have a nice birthday celebration for Cutter and Connor since they hadn't really been able to do that before everything had happened. "So what do you think?" she asked as they sat at the table for dinner that night, "we have enough ingredients to make a couple of birthday cakes, I could make them tomorrow and we could finally celebrate the Professor and Connor's birthday?"

Now that Becker was asleep, Cutter thought he had his best chance to try and make a break for the truck and head back to the ARC where he could turn himself in. He carefully let go of Becker’s hand and then he began to make his way out of the room and towards the door. He quietly snuck past Jenny and Sarah, who were getting more supplies for Danny and Becker to help look after them and then once he was sure they were well and truly distracted, he made a beeline for the door and then it wouldn’t be long before he got to the truck and he could make this right.

Lester had helped Connor to his office and they’d been left to have a rest on the cot that he had there, even though he was tired Cutter hadn’t been able to get much sleep. He knew they should really get a move on, they weren’t going to have a lot of time to pack up his office once Christine found out that they’d already lost their security clearance but this was his office and he wanted to take as much time as he could to remember his office before they had to pack up what they could of it. He lay awake in the cot, Connor sleeping beside him and it just felt weird to think that it was going to be the last time he would get to see his office for a while at least.
