Lies beneath the truth

Chapter Seventeen

General Anthony Sterling having been called to the processing area of the State department. Colonel Wayland was waiting for the General to arrive to speak with the traitor General Moreland about his possible deal to be protected. General Sterling was frustrated having cut short his staff meeting to speak with Moreland. Walking into the processing sector showing his I.D. a number of times to the security officers.

None of the officers weren't taking any chances after what had happened int he classified documents unit. "Where is the prisoner Colonel Wayland?" As he meets him outside of processing anxious to get inside.

"He's in cell number one, General, he's very ready to talk a deal." Colonel Wayland said with placing hand over his chin with trying to grow a beard to change his image slightly.

"Thanks!" He responded with walking into the unit to sign his name onto the ledger, while the one guard lead him to cell number one. Seeing the general sitting on the edge of his cot having taken off his uniform replaced with the orange prison clothing. "I am really disappointed in you, General Moreland. Can you tell me why you did the deed against the United States and the Military?" He waited for his answer feeling betrayed by this man.

"Money was the big issue with me Anthony. I had never thought about getting caught in the beginning. However the past year things had changed and I was getting tired of taking too many chances for the damn terrorist group."

"If this is the case, you would be interested in helping us out with sending them false information to their main communications center in Tehran, Iran. The reason we are doing this is to protect our agent having joined them undercover to obtain info on their group and which targets they are planning on attacking."

Taking a moment to think about what General Wayland had to say to him. "Ok, I will help you and your agent overseas. What exactly you want me to do? Plus when do I get my protection from those goons?" He asked insisting strongly about the goons.

General Wayland chuckled slightly before his face changed expression with a frown. "Very well, I want you to give us the frequency code to have you contact the terrorists at the center in Tehran, and tell them the location of one of the Titan missile targets 100 miles south of the city that the U.S. military has hidden. When in fact military troops will be hidden as with anticraft weapons will be ready to take them out by the air and ground." Taking in a deep breath into his lungs, General Wayland takes a chair to sit for a moment.

"Take me to the main Communications center and I will began the process with giving me the coordinates of the location of the Titan missiles." General Moreland calmly says with moving off from his cot to stand directly in front of General Wayland in his seat.

General Waverly turned to face Colonel Wayland waiting outside of the cell. "Colonel Baker take the cuffs off General Moreland and bring him to the communications center, while I retrieve the classified information from my office."

"Aye General, right away. But I will be sure he will be protected once we reach the center." Colonel Baker said with pulling out the key to the cuffs that was behind his back. He moved inside the cell to turn the General around to use the key to release him from his bondage. "Let's go General Moreland, you have a great deal of work that needs to be done with calling the terrorists."

"I know." He walks out slow with Colonel Wayland behind him as with the other guards taking the elevator to the Communications center.
