Doom
Chapter 1
Ring Ring
As the phone rang the figure in the bed groaned softly as he started to wake up.
Ring Ring
He groaned again as he awoke, he coughed then sat up; he glared at the phone...
Ring Ring
... Before he answered it
"Yes?" He answered gruffly, after all it wasn't quite a civilized hour, he rubbed his face as he listened "What? Yeah I understand...What? No I don't think..." As he listened to the voice at the other end of the phone his mood got worse, but he didn't show it, "Fine, whatever, I'll be there, just on one condition, don't tell Sam." And with that he put the phone down.
A little while later after deciding that sleep wasn't an option he got out of bed and went into his bathroom, he stared as John Grimm stared back, it was his reflection
"Reaper..." he whispered as he sighed slowly, he shook his head as he began to get ready.
5 hours later he arrived at his destination, UAC Headquarters, he looked impressively at the big building and with a chuckle walked inside.
After being told he was wanted on the 42nd floor that's where he went, and then the receptionist on that level must of recognized him because he was taken straight into the meeting room.
As soon as he walked into the meeting room he looked at his surroundings, he recognized Bob Jenkins, one of the big bosses of UAC, he was in his 40's, he had thinning balding hair and looked constantedly irritated, his assistant Jerry looked quite young for an assistant, he had a thick head of blonde hair, and was good looking.
As he walked over to a chair and sat down he looked at the people sitting across from him, it was a Dr Jennifer Reef and 3 other scientists he didn't recognize, they all seemed to look the same to him, mousy brown hair, glasses and white jackets. He looked to his left and saw a Dr Jake Minas who was without an assistant, Dr Minas looked a little bored, he kept checking his watch and scowling at Mr Jenkins and frowning at the door, he looked pretty slimy from his immaculate golden brown hair to his expensive shoes.
A few minutes later the meeting started
Mr Jenkins coughed as he looked around the room at the many faces staring at him, he was used to it now being one of the main people that ran the UAC. He looked quizzically at Jake who just shook his head slowly and nodded his head slightly, the meaning was simple, Mr Jenkins was asking where his assistant was, and Jake didn't know but wanted the meeting to go along. Mr Jenkins nodded back and cleared his throat.
"Ok." he began "I have all asked you here today to help with a problem to do with our Inca Base..."
John frowned slightly as he looked around the table; everyone just nodded, indicating they know about the base, which was more than he knew
"What base?" He interrupted
"The Inca Base..." Mr Jenkins repeated before continuing, " It was very similar to our Oldvai Base, but it was situated at the other side of the planet here..."
John watched as a hologram of the planet appeared and quickly it showed where the Oldvai Base was and it spun around to show where the Inca base was.
Buzz
Sighing Mr Jenkins leaned forward and pressed a button on the telephone that was on the table "Yes Helen?"
"Sir, Mr Mina's assistant is here..."
"Let her in"
After the disruption a few minutes later the meeting began.
Mr Jenkins looked gravely at the people around him; he hoped that these people would be able to help them. He looked at the scientists and he knew that they had some idea of what was going on, he looked over at his own assistant, at Megan and finally at John, and he wondered if they had any idea...
He coughed as he realized that he had been staring at them all for a couple of seconds and he started.
"Ok, Oldvai, we all know what happened there, but for the sake of this meeting lets just go over it one more time..."
As Bob went on John sat back and sighed, he kind of tuned out because he had been there, he knew what happened on that base and of all the people he lost, as he dug deep inside his memories he could picture each of them inside the room now as they were before the mission, Portman in his floral shirt, Goat in the corner reading his bible, Duke sitting on his bunk playing that game, Destroyer and The Kid just sitting on their own bunks.
That's the way he wanted to remember the RRTS, his friends, who had saved his life many times then he count.
Sighing again he tried to tune back in and get back into the meeting,
Mr Jenkins was now finished with explaining with what happened at Oldvui (Which John was pleased about)
"As we all know…. I'm sorry knew Pinky, we all know what he contributed to the Inca site."
"Excuse me?" John interrupted "What exactly did Pinky contribute?"
Mr Jenkins as he looked at John put his papers down and sighed, he knew that John had drifted off some time into the meeting, but he couldn't blame him, meetings were dull dreary things that tended to drag on and on, but this one was important, and he would let it slide for now, well he had been at Oldvui.
"Pinky was the one who discovered the Inca site, and named it…. that's were his legs went…."
John nodded as he sat back in his chair.
Megan who was making notes frowned slightly as she obversed the meeting, obviously something was going on, the other scientists that was in the meeting were known for secret projects, unsafe, potential dangerous secret projects, and she had a feeling in her gut, which had never steered her wrong before, she took a deep breathe before turning to Mr Jenkins.
After that the meeting was pretty boring, Mr Jenkins talked about what they had found on the site, and about how it was bigger then Oldvai. Then just as he was beginning to close that's when he brought the news.
"…. 3 weeks ago today, we lost contact with the Inca base, now since what happened at the Oldvai base things have tightened up, so it could be a communicator that's down, or it could be those… things…."
That's when everyone turned to John, they knew he had fought these things before and survived, and so did his sister!
"Wait a minute…. why are you looking at me for? I'm not going back! Do you really think that anyone would have survived after what happened?!"
"You are the most…qualified here!" Mr Jenkins began "We need to find out what happened, if anyone is alive? And to save data that we have spent 6 months trying to understand!"
John looking at Jenkins shook his head slowly, there was no way he was going back "No…." it was almost like a whisper. Without any further thought he picked up his coat and was about to leave when….
"I thought you might say that…" Jenkins said suddenly interested in his pen, "So I thought you might like to know…" As he looked up at John he had a sort of smirk on his face, just a little one, which disappeared as soon as it had appeared "your sister was recruited to the base about…oh 3 months ago…"
A/N Oooh what's going to happen now? John has to save his sister again!!! Hope you liked this chapter! And well please read and review! I like reviews! lol
