Chapter Eleven.
1500HRS - Corporal Lexa Warren walked into the Commanders office with a salute ready. Noticing that the Commander was focusing his thought completely on his comp screen, delving deeply into the bases security. His train of thought could sense that someone had entered his office and he knew that it would have to be Lexa, so taking his eyes of the screen he looked up to see the young Corporal Saluting with her left hand and holding a silenced pistol in her right. Before he could ask her what she was doing the bullet had already hit the right of his chest knocking him back of his chair, whacking his head hard on the pine window ledge behind him. All went black.
"Fischer, wake up." The voice seemed almost soothing to his pounding head and chest, he could feel his own blood pouring from him, covering his grey shirt. Noticing that he was now in the chair that was once facing his chair on the other side of his desk, gagged and bound tightly with wire that cut into his wrists, not being able to move or talk, he could now make out the figure in-front of him. "You are finally awake.. About time." Lexa was smiling at him swirling on the chair behind his desk. He could see that Lexa had faced the screen so they could both see it, she was typing quickly as she spoke to him. He shuck his head trying to talk, only mumbles came out.
Lexa stood up and walked over to the Commander, pulling the gag from around his head. "What the fuck are you doing Warren?" Before he could shout for help she struck him hard across the face with the butt of her pistol, and laughed as blood sprayed from the Commanders nose.
"Fischer Fischer Fischer..! You should not of trust me. You want to know what I was doing last night away from my post? I was creating a computer program that would boot you security code from the system and enable a new hacking program so that I could access you security unit." Everything she was telling him was stabbing him hard in his chest, the pain from the bullet wound was no longer causing him any pain, it was his heart gasping for blood.
"I don't understand Warren.. What are you going to do?" He fought to speak, he could barely keep his eyes open, only to see her smile and point to the screen.
"Look at the screen Fischer, it shows all the blast doors in the base." She reached over for the small mouse and rolled the arrow over a small flashing box with two words 'Open' and 'Close'. The flashing was coming from the 'Close' box, which indicated that the doors were securely sealed. "Now just watch this." The arrow moved to the 'Open' box and with one click it began to flash. "Goodbye Sir, enjoy the show..!" And Lexa stood up and walked towards the Commanders secret escape hatch. "I bet you did not know I knew this was here." Pulling the handle she opened the hatch and disappeared from view, Fischer shot his eyes back at the screen only to see his nightmares come true.
Light a heavy wind they came in, the black wave of evil entered the base. He could almost hear them hissing, the horde of aliens. Corporal Lexa Warren had played him, waiting for the right time to strike, now he knew why she had been the only survivor in the log he read in her file, she was the one who let them in, "Fucking Bitch", the last words he spoke before the pain in his chest stopped and his heart no longer beat.
