Lies beneath the truth

Chapter 16th

Donald Taylor arrived at IFF to be met by the security officers in charge. They were able to bring him to processing on level ten before placing him into a protected cell until the Witness Protection agents arrive.

"Mr. Taylor, I need for you to change into these clothing until you leave with them for the airport." Sergeant Dan Walters age 34 of age has been working for IFF for eight years in security.

Taylor takes the orange uniform to change in the dressing area before being moved into the cell. There was going to be two officers until the agents arrive. No one is to come close to the cell unless it was for business dealing with the prisoner. He changed his clothing quickly before asking for some cold water.

Sergeant Walters had given it to him placing the bottle water into his hands while moving towards the security cells. "Finish the water first Mr. Taylor, I don't want you to have the plastic as a weapon in case you try to escape." The security officer said not to have the prisoner change his mind about going with the Witness protection agents to California.

He finished the cold water quickly handing the empty bottle back to the security officer before moving into the cell, while Sergeant Walters locked the cell door handing the keys to another officer to walk into the close circuit security room with his partner. The both of them would then be settled in for the next eight hours until the agents arrive currently in Texas getting ready to board a flight to Washington, D.C.

Donald sat down onto the cot before deciding to try and sleep. It was going to be a long eight hours for him.

General Moreland walking into the State department showing his I.D. to a number of security guards in each of the sectors of the building. He walked briskly taking the elevator to the tenth floor for where the classified documents were located as with the vault.

Moving out of the elevator looking for any of the guards making their rounds. Using his key card to the vault, he entered into the darkened room with turning up the light a little in order to see what he will be doing with using the combination numbers to open the vault.

Taking a moment, he opened the vault to look for the proper classified documents. He found the three files with placing them into his brown attache case and placing them inside and closing it. Afterwards he reclosed the vault wiping his prints while once again turned off the light and closing the door to leave.

However in the meantime, the security officers watching this on close security cameras had called the proper superiors to let them know the target was leaving the floor to head out of the State department. Waiting for the General outside, he was caught off guard with six security officers were waiting for him with rifles in their hands waiting for use them in case the general tries anything.

"General Moreland, you're under arrest for treason with having to be a traitor against the United States." Colonel James Wayland age 45 takes out his cuffs from his uniform jacket feeling somewhat disgusted with the general and hands them to another officer with giving him the chore.

"I won't cause you any trouble Colonel." As he hands the attache case to Colonel Wayland. While the officer placed his wrists behind his back and lock the cuffs into place while giving him his rights. "I would like to speak with someone about needing protection, I have a feeling once they find out about my arrest. They will try coming after me making sure that I don't talk Colonel." He replied with feeling scared as hell with his demeanor.

"I will contact General Anthony Sterling of security and tell him that you want protection. No doubt he will want more from you with names and places."

"I understand Colonel, I will give him what is needed, I assure you." General Moreland choked on his words with moving back into the State department to take him to the security area to be processed and placed into a maximum security cell until General Sterling arrives.

Billy was in his bedroom having coming out of the shower. His wife came in with a hot cup of tea for him and herself, along with some biscuits as a snack. "Thanks, Corinne. I was hoping the phone was going to ring sometime soon." He stated sitting up taking hold of his cup of tea with no milk with two sweet and low's.

"Give it time Billy, it's only been a few hours." His wife replied with removing her robe to get into bed wearing her purple nightgown that she loves the color a great deal.

"I am just anxious to know on whether the general took the bait at the State department with those fake documents." He responded with placing his tea back down to have his biscuits covered in butter and jam.

Just as he was taking a bite of one of his biscuits. The house phone began to ring with his wife picking up the receiver from the small table on her side of the queen size bed. "Melrose resident's, how can I help you?" She listened to the voice on the phone. "One moment please, my husband will speak with you, Colonel Wayland. Billy, it's security from the State department." She hands him the phone with the phone wires long enough to reach.

"This is Billy Melrose of IFF, what's going on Colonel?" He asked with curiosity in his tone of voice. He listened to what the Colonel was saying to him.

"He was caught with the goods outside the State department sir, along with the fact he wants to talk to my boss General Anthony Sterling with wishing to talk along with protection." Colonel Wayland responded from the security office of the State department.

"Thank you, please keep me updated Colonel on whether General Moreland gives the information to help my agent Scarecrow now in Tehran, Iran." Billy turned to face his wife smiling while munching on a biscuit.

"I will Mr. Melrose." He hangs up the phone to finish up with processing the paperwork on the general.

Meanwhile Billy felt much better that the General was arrested with the fake documents. Now what they need to do is arrest the terrorist group in Tehran, Iran hopefully no bloodshed. " Now I enjoy my tea and biscuits Corinne." He smiled with handing the phone back to her to place it back into place.
