Maggie had tried. She really had. But her superiors just didn't believe her when she said that the virus that had caused a global communications blackout was not human, that the signal that had hacked their network in a matter of seconds was not human. So she turned to the only option she had left. Glen.
Maggie copied the frequency onto one of the memory cards she always had in her purse and snuck out of the Pentagon with it safly tucked in her pocket.
Taking a taxi dragon, Maggie got to Glen's house an hour after night fall. She knocked, and, sure enough, Glen answered.
"Maggie, girl, what are you doing here? If mah Grandmama finds out your here-" He was inturrupted by said grandmother.
"Glen, who's at the door?!"
"It's a friend, Grandmama!" He shouted back.
"Glen, I need your help." Maggie put on her best puppy dog look, which she knew Glen couldn't resist.
"Doh, fine, come in." He turned around and started walking back towards his room, mumbling something about 'disturbing the place of zen and peace' before his grandmother shouted back something about finding a lady friend and finally moving out. His response was: "Drink your prune juice, Grandma!"
They reached Glen's room after some dodging around furniture in the cluttered home. Inside, Glen's cousin was playing Dance Dance Revolution.
Glen ran over, suddenly excited, "Dude, what level are you on?"
"Siiiix!" His cousin replied still dancing along with the music. After watching the boys be silly for a moment, Maggie slid over to where Glen now sat at his computer and whispered in his ear.
"In this chip there is highly classified data." She said, holding the chip up for Glen to see.
"Like, how classified?" Glen asked, his attention now solely on the chip.
"Like I could go to jail for the rest of my life if the authorities found out I showed you this classified." She answered smoothly.
"Ooooh, that's classified." Glen was quick to shoo his cousin out of the room.
While Maggie and Glen were having fun with illegal stuff, Secretary Keller was having trouble back at the Pentagon. People were panicking because of the communications blackout, and he was having trouble keeping everyone calm. Then this Benachek man shows up with all the answers, all which have been kept from him because 'Sector Seven' did not see fit for him to know them. Well, isn't that just dandy.
Benachek told Keller all about the sentient dragons that had destroyed the Beagle 1 rover, which had been sent over the Northern Mountains, to see what secrets they held. It had been a failed mission, the public lead to assume that it never even transmitted anything. In reality it did, for a few seconds. just enough to see a huge dragon looking down on the rover like it was a disgusting insect, before the rover got smashed by a large foot.
Keller took some time to process this information. Sentient dragons, something right out of a fantasy novel. Just as he was wrapping his head around it, he realized that that Madsen girl might have not been so crazy after all. He was going to need her.
Maggie and Glen were just getting to translating some of the files that were encrypted in the frequency, when a FBI assault squad burst into his home, and arrested every one in sight. Yup, the place of 'zen and peace' was completely shattered now.
Ok, so last chap, just re-read it, not my best writing. I'm thinking that once I'm done with the story I'm gonna do a huge editing thing to add detail, and fix up my crappy writing, and all that jazz. God, I really need to read this thing before I post it. Ah, well. Tell meh how yous likes this chap, and all those before it. I don't bite, people (I have Ironhide for that) and even anonymous reviews are welcome!
