Eagle Eyes
Manticore was not the only covert military operation making genetically enhanced prototypes. In fact, there were many more all around the world. In Australia, there was one called Eagle Eyes. This is their story.
Chapter Five
The plane journey was short but very boring. They didn't even show a movie, so Kaylee just sat there listening to her Discman and fiddling with her new phone, a Nokia 3310. It was better than her old one, but not all that great. At least it had games on it though.
Kaylee had a window seat, and watched the land below her for part of the trip. She could see mountains, lots of trees and some large cities. She wondered if one of them was Albury. She had no idea where they were flying, and Albury was on the New South Wales side of the Victorian/N.S.W. border.
Kaylee had only been in an airplane once before, when her and Agalia had travelled to Agalia's uncle's funeral. They had caught a train to Sydney, and then taken a plane to Brisbane with two of Agalia's sisters and one sisters two little kids.
That plane trip had been better. She had had company, and they had flown out over the sea.
When the plane landed at the Sydney airport, Kaylee heaved a sigh of relief. She waited until most of the other people had gotten off before she got off herself.
Looking at her watch, Kaylee saw that 4:30 in the morning. She decided that since she was already in the airport, she would find some place secluded where she could get some sleep. She finally decided on a corner in one of the unused Ansett terminals. Surely no one would bother her here, and if they did she could say that she had to wait until morning to get picked up. Satisfied with that excuse, Kaylee curled up around her bag and went to sleep.
She woke up three hours later, and saw that there was a man kneeling over her bag, pulling something out. It was her Walkman.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" Kaylee cried as she reached over and grabbed her bag back.
The man jumped and spun around. He took one look at Kaylee and ran away. 'With my Walkman. Shit. I could kill that man. But I have to get out of here. I'll save revenge for another time.'
With that last thought, Kaylee walked out of the terminal.
