"Lian?"
Nothing.
"Lian? Do you copy?"
Again, nothing.
"Darn. This isn't good".
Ducking into the dark entryway of an abandoned warehouse, Gabriel Logan cautiously eyes his surroundings. Not a soul. For a busy airbase, the perimeter is way too quiet. To a highly trained covert operative, this mission had taken a turn for the worst. Just moments ago, he received an anonymous transmission from someone called kriby or something like that. Now his phone is dead. Swallowing hard, Gabe tries to relax, but deep inside he knows he won't be able to call Lian again for the next 40 minutes, he'll have to deactivate the nuclear warhead on his own. "One last chance" he thinks. "One last chance to save my hide." Rolling out of the foyer, Gabe makes a mad dash toward the warhead, pulling up short behind a stack of crates. "Gabe! Are you there?!" Covering his nervousness, Gabe whispers confidently "it's good to hear your voice again, Lian." "Listen… you haven't got much time. It'll take me at least 2 minutes to tell you how to deactivate that warhead" "I read you loud and…uh…clear. Lian, please hold." Perplexed, Gabe looks into the shadows of the warehouse he just vacated. "Odd. I don't remember that cardboard box…" shaking his head, Gabe jumps into action again. "Go ahead Lian." "okay, buddy. This is going to be difficult. Have you located the tools?" "copy. I found…what in the world?" peering back at the warehouse, he sees the box has moved, not slightly, but at least 6 feet closer to him. Looking at the night sky, Gabe feels no wind. As he stares closely, the box moves again, then again – closer and closer. "Lian. There's this box with 2 holes in it. It's moving toward me." "oh no…Gabe. Take a deep breath. It's Just an illusion. Agent Orange is just playing tricks on your mind again. Just close your eyes and relax." Lian's advice sounds great, but Gabe can't do it. Shaking with fear, he begins to sweat profusely. "Li-i-an." Sounding like a heart beating beneath a wooden floor, the box inches closer and closer to Gabe. It's almost on top of him now. "HEY YOU! Stop or we'll shoot!" in a flash, a spotlight descends from a nearby tower, illuminating not Gabe, but the box. "it is really there" Gabe thinks. Before he can even blink, several gunshots ring through his ears, and he notices another hole on top the box. Abruptly the box flips over, revealing solid snake! He points at the tower sternly and says "you shot me in the butt" and faints.
