Whiteout

Chapter Two

Airfield crews were giving them the signal to power up their planes for take off. The snow had stopped as with the blowing wind. Captain Dunlap was ready to take off with his lane on the run way. He took off quickly to get up into space without any trouble at all.

However for Sergeant Aerosmith's plane started to have a problem with the engine. Even though he was able to restart and he was able to take off. However moments later after the last man had taken off. Areosmith's plane crashed without knowing what the real problem would be.

He crashed a quarter of an mile from the air field with all rescue trucks available before the snow starts up again.

General Epstein advised the two to continue on to Hawaii. While there would be an investigation on what exactly happened with the plane and the death of the pilot.

Once the rescue crews arrived. They had to be quick on whether they would be able to find the body. His body was found inside the cockpit with the injection button failed. This particular air force plane was electronically and mechanically checked two months back in the garage.

Finding the body. They were able to bring it back to have the doctors on the base check it out as to what exactly killed him with an autopsy.

Meanwhile Dunlap and the other plane continued on with their flight in spite the fact they were sadden by the lost of a comrade.

However the snow started to fall once again, while the air field crews continue to bring back pieces of the plane back to the hanger including the voice recorder. Doctor Lambert would be doing the autopsy in the medical bay of the base.

General Epstein will have to be the one to inform the family with a letter telling the sister and brother the death. He has never liked writing these type of letters over the years. He was in his office on his computer terminal in his writing program starting to write the letter. Even though for now he will leave out the details on what exactly killed him with the crash and what caused the crash.

An hour later...

Doctor Lambert was ready in full gear to begin the autopsy in the medical section of the base. General Epstein would be waiting in his office for a report from Doctor Lambert.

It was always an sad affair for when ever he has to do an autopsy. However this one was strange indeed as to what killed him with the plane crashing. Taking a deep breath into his lungs he began the autopsy.

Meanwhile on the base in the radar satellite control room. There were three working their shifts when they had noticed a blimp on the screen for a brief moment before disappearing.

"Did you see that Ryan?" Sergeant Danny Collins on the base five years says to the other two working side by side.

"I did!" He said looking at his associate and other man on the other side of him. "What ever it was it disappeared quickly. We will need to report it to General Epstein and see what he has to say on the subject matter."

"I agree. I will make the call to his office. After the crash no doubt his mood wouldn't be a good one." Lt. Sammy Ryan had gotten up from his seat of his radar screen to use the phone on the wall connecting to General Epstein's office. He waited for a moment before someone answer the phone.

"How can I help you?" He says over the phone filled with anxiety after the death of the pilot. He was still in the middle of posing the death letter to the family.

The next few moments Lt. Sammy Ryan was able to give his report on the blimp having shown up on the screen and than disappearing afterwards. "Sir, do you think the blimp on the screen just might be the cause of the crash?" He asked with his own curiosity kicking into high gear.

"Don't know Lt., however I am going to be putting this base on full alert and advising the Seaview as well to Admiral Nelson." He replies with hanging up and sounding the alert that is on his desk for occasions like this...
