It has not been a good 36 hours for Hiccup, or least that's how long he thinks it's been, but let's be honest it's hard to keep track of time when you get dragged out of your house by a SWAT team, driven to the airport and forced onto a cargo plane heading to who knows where. Hiccup groggily observed his surroundings, after taking off he passed out for what seemed like a few hours and woke up hoping it was a dream.

'where the heck am I going?' He asked himself in some futile attempt to get answers as he became more awake and saw that he was still in the cargo plane.

He was currently sitting in a chair next to the wall which was surprisingly comfortable as he nervously rubbed his hand on his leg, unfortunately he could only use one hand because the other was handcuffed to the chair. Not six feet in front of him was a man sitting across staring at him, taking note of his attire Hiccup saw that he was wearing Air Force fatigues.

'Okay, I'm in a military plane with air force guys, this is getting weird.' He thought as he continued to scan the room and noticed that another man was sitting with his back to them a few feet away and was working on a laptop. After a few minutes of thought Hiccup decided to say something.

"Um excuse me." He said to the man across from him, "Do you know what's going on, why am I here?" He asked. However, the man continued to look at him without saying a word.

"Alright you can't tell me that, I guess I can understand but can you tell me where this plane is going?" He asked and he got no response and after a brief pause he decided to go for broke, "Okay can you at least tell me how long we're going to be on this plane?" He asked and still nothing but a hard stare. "Yeah should have known." Hiccup sighed.

Averting his attention away from the man, Hiccup began to wonder why exactly he was there but more importantly at the moment where was he going.


Edwards Air Force Base-Southern California-1300 hours

It was a hot day on Edwards Air Force Base, the sun hung high in the sky as a transport helicopter flew overhead, it then tilted as it made its descent towards an awaiting helipad. Once it fully landed, the doors opened and Agent Phillips stepped out, within a few seconds he was accompanied by agents Stenson and Nilsson as well as Bradley. As Phillips walked away from the helicopter he saw a man waiting for him, he was about half a foot taller than he was, African American and he wore fatigues accommodated by a silver eagle insignia.

"Colonel Shaw." Phillips said extending his hand as he approached him.

"Agent Phillips, glad you could make it." The Colonel said shaking Phillip's hand and turned his attention to the others. "Well everyone, welcome to Edwards Air Force Base." He greeted.

"Wait, Edwards Air Force Base?" Bradley asked as everyone looked at him, "You mean we're standing in the actual Area 51?" He asked with an almost fan boy like enthusiasm.

"Actually that's a common misconception, you see Area 51 really refers to Homey Airport in Nevada, but it is a detachment of this facility so pretty close." Shaw said at which point everyone turned their attention to him, "This comes up more than you think." He said as he signaled the group to follow him.

"I read your report, so you found the signal?" Shaw asked as they were walking, "Yes Colonel and we isolated the laptop it was founded on, now we're just hoping that it doesn't just disappear again?" Phillips explained.

"Well I can guarantee that my top people will try to find out what it is exactly." Shaw explained as they arrived and entered a nearby building, "I also understand you've apprehended the young man who acquired the signal?" He asked.

"Indeed, we're bringing him in for questioning, we're hoping that he might know something about what we're dealing with." Phillips said.


Meanwhile back on the plane, Hiccup was still sitting in the chair, over the past few hours he had go from worried to slightly bored, just passing the time however he can. As he looked around the interior for what seemed like the hundredth time, he noticed something, On the guards' belt was a satellite phone, and an idea immediately popped up in Hiccup's head. 'It's a long shot but it's the best option I got.' He thought.

"Excuse me." He said getting the guards attention, "I need to go to the bathroom." He said, the guard in turn just gave him a look, "Please, I really need to go, but hey I'm okay to just piss my pants." He said.

The guard looked at him for a moment, and Hiccup became worried that he wouldn't by it, but luckily the guard stood up and removed the handcuffs from Hiccup's wrist. After Hiccup stood up the guard began to escort him to the bathroom, 'Alright, now I need to find a way to get that phone.' He said to himself.

Just then as if help from above, the plane experienced a sudden hit of turbulence that caused it to shake, using this opportunity, Hiccup 'accidently' fell over and the guard caught him as the turbulence subsided. "Sorry about that, I can be a little clumsy." He said with a nervous smile, the guard didn't respond and continued to escort Hiccup to the lavatory. Once inside the small room, the guard closed to door as Hiccup faced the toilet, quickly turning his head to check, Hiccup pulled out the phone he managed to left from the guard. He began dialing his home phone number and he then held it to his ear where he could hear it ringing.

"Come on pick up, pick up, pick up!" He whispered, unfortunately all he got was the voice mail, "Dammit." He quietly cursed.

Outside the door, the guard stood and waited, but then one of the other guards came over to him, "Hey Simmons, where's the kid?" He asked.

"He's in the john." Simmons said which made the the guard give him a questioning look. "Aren't you worried that he'll try to escape?" He asked.

"Are you kidding me, how's he going to do that, I'm standing in front of the only door of a bathroom on a plane that's over 5 miles in the air, how could he possibly escape?" Simmons asked irritated.

"Okay but what if he tries to call for help?" The other guard asked.

"And how exactly is he…" He trailed as he absent-mindedly reached for his sat phone, "going to do…" He started to get nervous when he couldn't feel anything, "that?" He said looking down and saw no phone quickly realized that it wasn't there. "Oh crap." He said turning towards the door and started banging on it, "Hey open this door!" He commanded.

Hiccup heard him pounding and knew that he didn't have a lot of time, so he got back on the phone and started to speak, "Mom, Dad, it's me Hiccup, now listen…" He started his message, meanwhile outside, Simmons continued to pound on the door, "That's it." He said as he rammed the door with his shoulder.

Inside Hiccup was wrapping up his message, "I have to go, I love you both." He almost strained those last words out as the door burst open, the force making Hiccup sit on the toilet, looking up he saw a not too happy guard glaring at him, "Umm, occupied." He said with a nervous chuckle.

Guard promptly grabbed Hiccup and confiscated the phone from him as he forced him back to his original spot, but as they placed the cuffs back on Hiccup thought to himself, 'I hope my parents get the message.'
