Tribute

Chapter Ten

On board the space craft. There was an alert to look for the two humans having left their quarters and haven't been able to be found by the security cameras. They looked all over the vessel and found nothing.

"They have to be some where?" The commander in charge ranted over the noise from inside the Control Room.

Security spoke up with an suggestion. "Commander did you ever considered that someone on board this vessel purposely left the door opened so that they can leave the craft. Where they went I have no idea since they are long gone. We will now have to leave Earth before Darien gets wind of the two humans having escaped. Lets prepared this space craft to head back home." He ordered with the announcement having been made throughout the craft.

Three days later before arriving at Hawaii port in 24 hours. Admiral Nelson was receiving a report from General Bradley that the two Air Force pilots had been found. They had shown up in Washington, D.C. with someone picking them up along the highway and asking the driver to take them to the Pentagon.

Nelson was shaking his head at the report with Lee sitting in front of him after he is given the report as well. After a few moments of digesting the report. "I must say it's pretty wild to have these aliens letting them get away without even bothering to look for them." Lee says with wiping his brow.

"I know! I can imagine what Darien is thinking once he finds out what has been going on. There is going to be a full investigation with further speaking with the two Air Force pilots." Nelson says with placing a hand through his hair that has changed a great deal over the years.

"But in the mean time sir. We should be entering Hawaii's harbor in 24 hours and the tribute to begin the day after. Rose Marie is feeling fine since the explosion in the lab and as with the baby. I still can't believe it, I am going to be a third time dad." Lee replied with getting up from his seat to head out for the Control Room.

Captain Donaldson and Lt. Albright were inside the Pentagon staying with security officers to protect them until they decided it was safe enough to head back to the Air Force base in Hawaii. The president and his advisers had been going over their story with a fine tooth comb on whether they were still telling the truth.

Doctors had placed them under with using truth serum to see on whether they could crack their story about being captured and placed on board the space craft. Doctor Macmadden had told the president and his advisers that Captain Donaldson and Lt. Albright were telling the truth.
