Chapter 5: All Part of the Plan
Robert waits in a parking lot by the biology department building at Stanford University, while Tim is in search of Adam. Tim goes up to the building and calls in security, "Excuse me. I need to speak with someone from Henry Wu's research lab"
"Were you given any name, sir?"
"It's important business regarding a confidential file that only they are aware of. Please. I need to speak with someone. I think one of their names is Alan, no Aaron, no Adam. Right, Adam."
"Alright, we'll ping him to come down". After 2 minutes the man Tim saw on the video feed looked startled at his presence.
"Hi, we met over the feed."
"It's not safe to talk here. Let's go up to my office." Adam gets Tim a guest card from the security desk and they go up to an office room near a laboratory. Adam closes the door behind them and Tim begins to talk. "Do you know where Claire and Owen are?"
"Not sure", Adam says nervously.
"What do you mean you don't know? They were here a week ago and now you expect me to believe that they just disappeared. By the way, what happened last week?" Adam begins to tense up as Tim comes closer, "Answer me".
"The officers. They came and took us in because of some computer security breach mishap. Complete misunderstanding."
"Alright, then where are they?" Tim raises his voice.
"Uh, I-" Adam freezes.
"Hello?" Tim waves his hand over Adam's face, "Where are-" Tim is knocked out from behind.
"And that's why I have to do the dirty work for you people", says a tall bodyguard picking up his body.
"Let's-Let's just go", says Adam.
Robert, scanning the surroundings outside of the car, continues to wait for Tim. Then, he notices Tim looking unconscious being carried out by a tall bulky man in dark clothing and Adam into a van. Robert gets out of the car and runs toward them.
Robert yells, "Hey! What do you think you're doing with him?" The man dumps Tim into the back of the van and Adam follows in.
"Hey! I'm talking...to...you.." The next thing Robert realizes when he approaches the tall man is that he's thrown on his belly into the van and the doors closing behind him.
Owen and Claire are approached outside of the bars by the female officer with keys.
"Alright, you've been let go."
"By whom?', Claire asks.
"The guy who was with you, Adam. He came back with paperwork for your release. So it all just seems to be a misunderstanding. He's waiting up front so you two can get your belongings and you're free to go". After Owen and Claire grab their possessions, they meet Adam at the entrance and he puts his arms around the two of them.
Adam speaks to them in a lowered voice, "Come quietly". He takes them out to the dark van and the tall bulky accomplice grabs them and throws them in the back. Officers guarding the front of the station notice and pull out their weapons and shout, "Hey! What's going on?"
Adam finds difficulty in speaking to him,"No-,nothing, officer". Then, the accomplice knocks out the officer and tells Adam, "Get in the van".
"Claire! Owen!" says Robert in the back of the moving van.
"Oh my! What are you two doing here?", asks Claire as she regains her strength to sit up next to Owen who is rubbing his bruised forehead.
"We were looking for you, then Adam over there, took us in", explains Tim.
"We were coming to find you", Robert adds.
"Looks like we're in this together. Whatever, 'this' is", Owen comments. The van starts speeding up as police sirens start going off.
"There are no seatbelts back there, so hold onto your rears", Adam shouts from the front of the van.
Tim wonders, "Where are we going?" Suddenly, everyone feels a large impact as the van crashes onto the other side of the highway heading to the coast. The vehicles in the opposite direction halt abruptly as the van and pursuing cop cars cross over. The van drives on the side as it crosses a ramp leading to the proper direction of the road ending at a beach. The group in the van feel see the dents marking bullet impacts as the cop cars get closer to them. Nevertheless, the van persists in barging through the beach entrance and onto a dock, forcing the cops to stop. Everyone feels the vibrations underneath the van as it drives over a dock.
"Get ready for lift off", shouts Adam when the van is being abruptly picked up in the air, crashing into a large magnet held by a helicopter.
The transition to air disorients the group as the van starts tilting. The tilting becomes even worse when the police force becomes airborne and tries to shoot at the magnet. The tilting becomes too extreme, that Tim loses his grip on the inside of the van and lands on the back door, which flies open.
"Tim!", Robert yells as he tries to reach out for him, as Tim is hanging onto the edge of the door. Robert finds his grip and shouts, "Grab my hand Tim!"
"I won't make it!" Claire bangs on the glass window of the front seats, "Adam! I don't care where you're taking us but we need to go down!" Adam opens the window asks, "We'll be fine".
"No we won't", Claire says as she points to Tim holding onto the door for his dear life.
"Alright", Adam contacts the helicopter, "Lower us, otherwise, we're going to lose one. Over."
"Copy that", says the pilot over the radio. The helicopter descends so that the van is just touching the surface of the water and Tim is able to go back inside.
Adam then looks back and says, "Change of plans guys. We've got to swim to a new rendezvous point so that the cops won't chase us". They all abandon the van as it detaches from the magnet and they form a group in the water. The helicopter with the magnet flies away from the other pursuing police helicopter, which stalls over the group in the water. The helicopter with the magnet turns around and moves straight towards the other, which now turns around to retreat. The group is now devoid of any chaos, except for the tumbling of light waves.
"So where's this rendezvous point? It's dusk and there's nothing for miles at sea", comments Tim.
"Just wait", says Adam. The group waits in the water but there is no sign of objects on the surface of the sea.
"This is getting ridiculous", Robert asks, "What are you really up to, Adam?"
"Wait for it", Adam says again. Then, everyone notices waves piling up and moving close to them in an abnormal triangular fashion with their reflections.
"What is that?", Claire asks. When the triangular waves shift to go alongside the group, they finally see a large ship that managed to cloak itself with mirrors at the bow. A ladder comes in sight and everyone climbs aboard. Robert is the last one up and he is taken by one hand as he stands up to say thank you, when he sees Tim, Owen, and Claire lying on the ground.
"What? Wait a minute, what's going o-?" Robert is injected with an anesthetic and he very quickly collapses on the surface of the ship.
