Chapter 2 - Secret Operation

(Special Projects building, unknown location)
Rodrigo: You do know I can see your eyes right?
As soon as he said that the amber eyes quickly disappeared behind the wooden boxes. He wasn't here to wait for an answer so he decided to go see who it was. When he was slowly approaching the boxes he began to hear small breaths behind the boxes. He reached the boxes and grabbed one of the boxes and threw it behind him with it creating a loud crash. He grabbed another box and threw it across the room behind him. He looked back and saw a figure laying down. The figure had those amber eyes, but something was out of the ordinary, the figure had something coming out of it's head, they look like canine ears, and there was another thing that was out of the ordinary about this figure, it had a tail attached to it. He wasn't just going to stand there and look at the figure all day ... or all night? Whatever.
Rodrigo: WHO ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU HERE!? (Yelling)
But the reply he only got would shock him for the rest of his life as the figure responded with a feminine voice.
???: P-please don't hurt me!
(Middletown Tails building, Middletown, 8 hours earlier)
Vicky was just enjoying her day at her job as a journalist. It's been 5 months ever since the Humans have resurfaced, and the last time she saw Rick and the other subjects. She always wondered what they're doing nowadays. Today wasn't a eventful day, because everything was calm.
Vicky: *Doing a few paperwork on her desk*
Vicky's thoughts: What do I need to do to make this day a good one? As a matter of fact why doesn't Langley want to confirm that there were other kinds of Humans? What was she hiding?
Vicky's thoughts were quickly interrupted when a rabbit reporter whose name is Ed Starkley enter her office.
Ed: Hey Vicky! Guess what!
Vicky: What is is Eddy?
Ed: There's a rumor that there's a secret operation that is taking place tonight that is being lead by Langley herself, and it just came to me that maybe you should go to wherever the operation is taking place, since you had been arrested for breaking into a government facility a long time ago.
Vicky: I thought the records were erased. Damn it (mumbling tone). Where did you hear the rumor from?
Ed: The rumor was from a cat when he was talking to a human girl.
Vicky: A cat? This cat, he didn't happen to be a grey one and in his teenage years, right?
Ed: Yeah, you know him?
Vicky: Yeah, so about this operation, what's it about?
Ed: Well, it had something to do with a discovery of a old Special Projects facility being founded.
Vicky: And I guess you want me to go over there and risk being in prison again. Sorry, but I can't.
Ed: Oh come on Vicky! You can prove the existence of other kinds of Humans! You could become legend and probably meet the president!
Vicky: I already did, once.
Ed: You did? So how did you meet the president?
Vicky: I don't want to talk about it. Maybe I should go to wherever the operation is taking place. Just to get my mind off the past for a bit.
Ed: *Smiles* I knew you could have the guts to do it.
Vicky: Yeah, so what time is the departure of the operation?
Ed: 5 hours from now.
Vicky: Good
(7 hours later, unknown location)
Human soldier: Is everything unpacked?
Lynx soldier: *Looks at the human soldier* Yes sir, everything is unpacked.
Human soldier: Good, now let's all hope the equipment useful.
The soldiers were walking away from the equipment, after a few seconds one of the metal crates opened up and came up Vicky.
Vicky: *Looks around and sees no soldiers present* God, what did I get myself into? Besides this crate.
As Vicky begins to sneak around the camp she sees a large old building that looked like it has been there for centuries.
Vicky's thoughts: So this must be the old Special Projects facility Ed talked about.
As Vicky continued her way through the camp without detection, she sees Langley giving a short briefing to the soldiers about the mission. Vicky knew she had to get inside the building before Langley finishes the briefing.
(Special Projects building, unknown location)
Vicky was walking in the hallways of the nearly destroyed building with her flashlight, not knowing what she'll find or to make matters worse, WHAT will find her.
Vicky: This place looks like a war went on.
As Vicky continued her stroll through the hallways, she felt something break beneath her. She give a small yelp and jumped back. She shined the flashlight on whatever she stepped on and what she found shocked her. She found a skeletal corpse with a bullet hole at the top of the skull holding a old pistol.
Vicky's thoughts: Why did this guy commit suicide? Was he trying to save himself from something?
Vicky looked around and saw a door which looked different from the others she had seen throughout the building.
Vicky: *Gulps* That door must mean that whatever is in the other side is important.
Vicky went to the door only to find out the she needs a ID card to get in. So she went back to the skeleton and found out that it has a card itself. After she took the card, she went back to the door. She finds the place to use the card and swipes the card. The door opened and revealed a room that had a small table with a syringe and a small vaccine container. Not only those but a large chamber holding something inside of it and another skeletal corpse with a bullet hole on the forehead.
Vicky's thoughts: I'm starting to think there's a connection between the two skeletons.
At matters moment, Vicky could hear distant voices of soldiers coming her way. She panicked and accidentally pushed a button that was connected to the large chamber causing it to open with a hissing sound. She instantly was scared and ran to a pile of wooden boxes that were at the side of the chamber. When she did, she heard a man's voice talking.
???: Kleiner, I hope it's you. ... Kleiner?
Vicky gave out a short peek and saw a human in front of the chamber. But this human was nearly different from the ones she had seen. The human had black hair that was faded (cut very short), was half a foot higher than her, well-built body, looked like he was in his mid 20s, and was wearing some sort of suit that looked like he was a soldier. But the feature that stood out about him was that his skin color was caramel colored.
He walked to the corpse and said,
???: Poor bastard. Didn't even say thanks.
Vicky tried to sneak away from this mysterious human thinking he could be dangerous, but accidentally stepping a shard of glass from a broken beaker. She looked back at the human seeing his head back up and looked at her direction with his glowing yellow eyes.
???: Who's there?(Yelling)
The human soon came into contact with her eyes and said,
???: You do know I can see your eyes right?
Vicky went behind the boxes hoping he would not come this way. But when she thought he didn't, a box above the one she was hiding behind came up and was thrown behind the human. After that, the human grabbed the box she was behind and threw it across the room behind him. She was on the floor with her back facing the floor, and started to back away from the human. The human began to examine her, and after a few seconds he yelled,
???: WHO ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU HERE!?
Vicky: P-please don't hurt me!
