Chapter 2

Sgt. Siler found Jack squatting down by a door on Level 22. He cleared his throat.

-Was there a…something you wanted, sir?

Jack straightened up and pointed at the door.

-Tell me Sgt.; are all the doors on this base in such pitiful shape?

-Uh…yes, sir.

-That's what I was afraid of. Ok then, Siler, I've got a job for you.

-Sir?

-Get together a team…6, maybe 7 good men. Have them meet me here at 1700. Oh…and bring buckets.

-Buckets, sir?

-That's right, Siler. Buckets of soapy water…and some clean rags. We are gonna make this place shine.

-Uh…yes, sir. I'll get right on it.

-That a boy, Siler. Go to it.

With that Siler left shaking his head in confusion and amazement.
