"Steve." John Keller, Secretary of Defence said.
"Hello, Mr Secretary." Steve said shaking his hand.
Looking around John saw that the auditorium was filled with best analysis. With group in the centre looking like they just got out of high school.
"They're so young." He stated.
"They're the top subject matter experts, sir. NSA's recruiting right out of high school these days." Said one of the people standing nearby.
In the auditorium the one of them had notice that the Secretary of Defence was there.
"Guys, that's the Secretary of Defence." Jake said to his friends. Looking over to where he was looking they could see was telling the truth.
"I am so underdressed." Hayden mumbled.
"Ladies and gentlemen. The Secretary of Defence." Said Steve. As a mark of respect they all stood up for The Secretary of Defence.
"Please be seated." John said. With that everyone sat back down.
"I'm John Keller." He announced.
"Obviously, your wondering why you're here, so these are the facts. At 1900 local time yesterday, the SOCCENT Forward Operations Base in Qatar was attacked. So as far as we know, there were no survivors. The objective of the attack was to hack our military network. We're not sure what they're after, but we do know that they were cut off during assault, which would lead us to assume that they're going to try again. Now, no one's taken responsibility for the attack. And the only real lead we have so far is this sound." He said before pointing up at a big screen. A high pitch sequel sounds though out the whole auditorium.
"That's the signal that hacked our network. NSA's working at full capacity to analyse it and intercept further communications, but we need your help to find out who did this. Now, you've all shown considerable ability in the area of signals analysis. We're on a hair-trigger here, people. The President has dispatched battle groups to the Arabian Guff and Yellow sea. This as real as it's ever going to get. Now I'm going to leave you to your officer-in-charge. You'll break up in to teams and you'll start your work. Good luck to us all." He finished before walking off stage.

After finishing up at Bobby's, they had proceeded to drive home with Chloe at the wheel. (Chloe had chosen rock, while like always Matt had gone scissors.) Pulling in front of their home Chloe proceeded to take the second drive way since the first lead to Michael garage and this one lead to theirs, which also used to be their fathers man-cave. Driving down the dirt road that lead to there garage Daniel and David both spotted their a 4 year old Siberian husky Zach, running out the back doggie dog, before running towards the garage to met them their, like always he would meet everyone with a big lick to the face. (Well everyone that is other than Michael.)
Once Chloe had pulled next to their fathers 1987 Harley- Davidson, she could see that Zach was already sitting next to Matts work bench waiting for them to get out of the car.
The garage was simple enough. It still had trophies and poster from when their dad used it but also had two work benches's either side. One Matt and all his tools and Chloe which held old guns that belong to their farther which she pulled apart, along with other mechanical devices and put back together just for the fun of it. It also had a couple of old chairs and table that held an old stereo, that didn't really work.
Getting out of the car Chloe grabbed her bag before squatting down as Zach came barrelling forward and started to lick her all over.
"Yes, where boy, yes we are." Chloe said rubbing her hands all over. Before he went and tackled the twins to the ground and did the exact same to them.
"Any one would think he missed us." Matt sighed. As he patted Zach on the head.
"I'm going to get started on the car before coming up to do my homework."
"Fine, Daniel David unlike Matt you have no excuses for not starting your homework, go on up I'll be their soon." She said. Of course they didn't like that idea.
"Ooh come on." They argued.
"We just did 6 hours of work." David said.
"Yes, an hour and a half ago." Matt said as he changed his shirt for one that was covered in grease.
"You've got what an hour tops worth of homework unlike us who have at least three. So saver it while you can." Chloe said.
"Uugg Fine." They sighed before head up to the hose with Zach hot on their tails.
"Well, I better go and make sure they actually do homework and not just play on the computers." Chloe said walking out of the garage.
"Hey Chloe can you grab my water bottle it should be in the fridge somewhere?" Matt yelled started sorting his tools so he could work.
"Fine." Chloe sighed.
Walking up to the house which was a simple 4 bedroom two story house that had a large back yard. The gardens was simple it was as green as they could get out here, which meant it was more brown then green. It had plants a long the edge and stone path from both garages to the house, a gazebo in the back corner, some tress here and there and it was all pack in by a high wooden fence.
Walking to the back doors, which lead straight to the kitchen. Chloe went over to the fridge, opening it she was not surprised by what she saw. The first two shelves all had beer on them. It didn't take long to find Matt's bottle since it was navy blue with fire around the bottom. Picking it up she could feel that it was full and walked back out to the garage. She had barley step out of the house and she cloud all ready hear music coming from the garage.
'Welcome to a new kind of tension. All across the alien nation where everything isn't meant to be okay. Television dreams of tomorrow. We're not the ones who're meant to follow. For that's enough to argue.'
For some reason when ever he work he always had rock songs on. Walking in to the garage she could see, that Matt was learning over the engine of the car, and that the music was coming from the cars stereo, reaching in she turned it off so that they could hear each other.
Walking around Chloe could see that it looked brand new which was strange considering the condition of the body.
"Why would some give away a car with an engine like this?" Chloe asked putting the bottle next the on the table next to the stereo.
"I know, I'm mean look at theses header, their so beautiful." Matt said.
"Huh?" Chloe asked in confusion. But Matt just kept on talking.
"It' got a high-rise double-pump carburettor. That alone is pretty impressive." Matt said.
"Speak English!" Chloe yelled in frustration Matt looked at her to say 'are you serious'.
"You can pull apart guns then put them back together, but you can't understand the basics of the engine of a car." Chloe just gave him a level 2 glare.
"It squirts the fuel in so you can go faster."
"That's all you had to say." Chloe sighed
"Other then the distributor cap's being little loose, I can't find anything wrong with him." Matt said.
"In that case while you are at work tomorrow can you see if you can get any paint for him, so I can get my turn with him." Chloe asked.
"Sure, whatever." Matt said going back to look at the engine.
Chloe had only just gotten to the doorway when the radio came back to life.
"Baby come back any kind of fool could see. There was something in everything about you. Baby come back you can blame it all on me. I was wrong and I just can't live without you."
Turning around Chloe walked back over two the car.
"Ok, next thing on my to do list look at fixing the radio." Matt said rubbing his head from when he had hit it on the hood of the car.
"No, you are not touching the radio." Chloe said.
"Why, not?" Matt asked.
"Because he seems to know how to treat a woman, better then human guys." Chloe argued.
"So, you want me to keep it like this because it flirts with you?" Matt said crossing his arms.
"No, besides you got to emit he's got style." Chloe said walking back out.
"See 'ya guys." Chloe said to both the car and Matt. If she didn't have better then normal hearing, she wouldn't of heard Matt specking just as she left the garage.
"Well their defiantly is a lot more to you then meets the eye." Matt said to the car just as "What I've done" started playing though the radio.
Walking out of the kitchen Chloe walked straight in the dining room since they where attached. If she had gone left instead of right she would have walked in to the living room. But since she as going up the stairs she went left.
The second floor was in the shape of a square. At the top of the stairs were the twin's room with Matts on the left and Chloe's on the right. On the other side was Michaels room, which none of them had been in since their mum had died.
All three had white walls and wooden floors but their stuff seemed to follow a colour scheme. With Chloe being black and yellow, Matts was blue and red. Since the twins shared half the room was orange and the other green.
Chloe's room was the tidiest of the three, (sort of). Her queen single bed was pushed up ageist the wall that had the two windows. Next to it was a bedside table that had a lamp, alarm clock and a picture of all four of them in it. On the other side of the room there was a desk that was probably the messiest thing in the room. It was covered in notepad that had been drawn in, homework, pencils and pens, books; the only clear area was the spot where she put her computer. Ageist the wall across from the bed there was a set of draws with held all her clothes. She also had a full length minor on the back of her door. On the walls their where posters of band, posters from magazines, drawing she had finished and pictures.
Walking in Chloe throw her bag onto her bed, before falling face down on to it. After about five minutes latter Chloe and walked over two her computer desk. Reaching back over to her bed Chloe grabbed her bag. Reaching in she got her laptop out, throwing the bag back on to the bed, she never noticed the glasses case falling out of her bag and rolling under the bed.
Logging on she went string to the internet since she had to look up stuff for her recent history homework. Going on to the local new network she noticed a news bulletin for an attack SOCCENT Froward Operations Base in Qatar. Chloe click on the video, so she could watch the live press conference,
"At this time, we can't confirm whether there were any survivors."
"Oh my god," Chloe breathed.
"Our bases worldwide are, as of now, at DEFCON Delta. We're dealing with a very effective weapons system that we have not come across before. But our prayers are with the families of the brave men and woman…" Hearing enough, quickly got up and ran down stairs.
"MATT!" Chloe yelled. Not knowing the twins had heard her and were right behind her.
"What?" He asked running out of the garge to came and stand in front of her.
"What base are Will and Epp's at?" Chloe asked.
"Why are you asking?" He asked.
"Just answer the question!" Chloe yelled.
"Um, the SOCCENT Forward Operations Base." Instead of getting the answer he wanted, Chloe flung her self into his arms and started crying her eyes out.
"Chloe what going on, Chloe?" Matt stammered already fearing the worst.
"SOCCENT Froward Operations Base in Qatar was attacked… At this time, we can't confirm whether there were any survivors." Came from the radio, but none of then barely even registered it.
"No," Daniel and David cried out as they hugged their older siblings.
"Sshh, it's okay. Will and Epps are strong that wouldn't go down with out a fight." Matt consoled, as he himself tried to keep it together, trying to be strong for his younger siblings. For the twins Will was really the only farther they ever had with, their dad dieing before they could even remember him and with Michael never being a good farther.
"Daniel, David where going over to Sarah's tonight and will probably be staying the night and get some clothes, same with you Chloe." Matt ordered. Reluctantly they let o and went back in to the house. Following quickly ran up the stairs and throw same clothes before going back down stairs and in the kitchen. Looking in the freezer he found some meals he had made in advance and grabbed them out and place them in a cooler bag. He also poured out biscuits for Zach for his dinner. By the time he had done that both Chloe and twins had finished packing and were waiting the kitchen.
Come on, let's go." He said leading them out to the car. They could walk but it was easier to take the car. Letting the twins get in first Matt hopped in the driver's seat, since Chloe was in no condition to drive. Turning the car on the song "Never say Never" by the Fray came though the speakers of the radio, and didn't bother changing it.
Some things we don't talk about You can never say never Don't let me go
Rather do without
And just hold the smile
Falling in and out of love
Ashamed and proud of
Together all the while
While we don't know when
But time and time again
Younger now than we were before
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Picture, you're the queen of everything You can never say never Don't let me go
As far as the eye can see
Under your command
I will be your guardian
When all is crumbling
To steady your hand
While we don't know when
Time, time, time again
Younger now than we were before
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
We're pulling apart and coming together again and again Don't let me go
We're growing apart but we pull it together, pull it together, together again
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Just as the song had come to and end they pulled in to the Lennox's driveway.
"Come on where here." Matt said getting out of the car, making sure he grabbed the bags. Walking up to the front door he pulled out the key for the house that Will had given them so could came over when ever they wanted to get away from Micheal.
"Sarah." Matt called out. Looking around he saw that she was in the kitchen trying to calm down Annabelle who was crying.
"Honey, Daddy's going to be okay." She said. Matt could here that she was close to tears her self. Seeing that Annabelle was crying the twins went over and got her out of her high chair while Matt and Chloe hug Sarah from ether side. Sarah immediately started crying in to Matt's chest, with Chloe joining in and even tho they were trying to stop Annabelle from crying the twins couldn't help but cry. I didn't take long before Matt broke as well for the second farther he had lost.
