Chapter Ten:
Area 51
Alex was once again back at work with the CIA. The same as before, he was picked up by van of unknown guys and brought to a small airfield in the middle of no where. At least Lily was there.
"Couldn't get enough of me?" she teased him.
Alex laughs at her joke and say, "Guess not. Happen to know what the mission is?"
Lily nods.
"The mission involves Area 51," she said, raising an eyebrow.
Alex's eyes widen. "Area 51? As in "the" Area 51?"
"Yep. The CIA believes that a man named Jason Castro may be a traitor. They don't know the full details, but they want you to infiltrate and capture him inside Area 51. Then, they want you, meaning us, to deliver him back here."
Alex nods and says, "Sounds fun. Lets get to it."
Lily smiles and holds up the bags of gadgets that she showed him back in Las Vegas.
"Since you didn't get to use some of them, I figured they could come in handy for this," she tosses the bag to him.
Alex catches it and says, "Thanks. I'll take good care of them."
"You better. I'm the one who has to make them."
Alex laughs and they get into the helicopter. Flying off towards Area 51.
Joe Byrne was still in Las Vegas. He needed to clear things up before he made a full report to his superiors.
A woman walked into the office that he was using.
"Sir? There is a Mrs. Jones trying to reach you."
Joe nods and says, "Upload her to my computer."
The woman nods back and walks out the door.
Joe turns on his computer and watches as Mrs. Jones came online.
"Joe," she said, "please tell me that Alex made it out safe!"
"He did. And he managed to get our files. They are offically safe again."
"Including the file on Pandora?"
Joe nods. "Yes."
Mrs. Jones lets out a sigh of relief.
"Alex managed to make it out in one piece?" she asked.
"Yes. He should be back home now." Joe knew that was a lie. He had just given him another mission a while ago.
"Good."
"Anything else, Mrs. Jones?" Joe asks.
"No, thank you." Mrs. Jones disappears from the screen.
Joe sat back in his seat. He knew that Mrs. Jones worried about Alex more than anyone. She treated him like he was her own child. She even loved him as a son... in her own way at least.
Joe couldn't wait to interrogate Jason Castro. He knew about the secrets that he had sold and the CIA wanted to know who he was selling them to. It most certainly wasn't any other government, but it was somebody.
Alex, don't fail us now, Joe thought.
Within an hour or so, Alex and Lily were high above the government base of Area 51.
Alex changed into his black suit, which Lily got a nice glimpse of, and had his parachute ready.
"Alright Alex," Lily said. "You're going to have to parachute down again. But this time... much higher. I'll be waiting at the cordinates for you when the mission is complete."
Alex could feel his heart racing. He hates doing this kind of stuff.
"Just tell me when," Alex said. He was really wishing that he stayed with Sabina back at home. Being with her seemed better than jumping out of helicopter and falling a couple thousand feet to his death.
A few minutes later, the moment came. Alex didn't even wait for Lily to shout the words and just jumped out of the helicopter. He began to fall, but he managed to control himself much better this time as he fell. He pulled the cord and was able to land on the ground, nice and safely. He was also close to the nearest entrance.
"Okay Lily, I'm on the ground. Heading for the outpost that you told me about," he spoke into his mirco-phone.
"Okay," Lily responds. "Just meet me at the rendezvous point when you have Jason."
Alex smiled and began to run.
Yes, I know. Short chapter. But I love short chapters. Not too much information and much easier to read also.
Hope that you enjoyed this one. The next one will have some action in it.
Review! Please? For me?
