Chapter 1
The Misson
I open my eyes, restrained and still pitch black, don’t know how big the room is, I struggle to get my hands free, but the rope just slips a bit and stays strong. I keep trying to think of where I am but my mind is blank. I have no memory of my past and no memory of how I arrived here. I am stuck in a room that I don’t know the dimensions of.
About 10 minutes go by and I start to here steps, at least two people walking, the steps are getting louder and louder. A door opens, still pitch black with no light what so ever, they walk in and shut the door. There Is silence, the walking has stopped, I’m assuming there standing right in front of me. Whatever is about to happen, I am completely out of the loop.
WE WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING†a strong low voice says on my left side
Everything about what?†I say very softly but confident showing no fear in my voice
EVERYTHING†he screams “You know what is going on and we need answersâ€
“Where am I?†I say softly and confident
“The place where you will stay until we have all the information we need from you†this voice is a little more friendly and coming from my right side, but now something is starting to happen to me, my brain is moving a million miles a minute, and all of a sudden……………
I’m sitting at a Starbucks on my laptop, I close it and walk out having no clue where I am or where I am going but my instincts seems to be moving me where I need to go fine. My body has taken control of itself with the mind not telling it what to do. Wherever I’m heading, I need to figure it out. I continue on 3 blocks straight then turn left as If I have done it every day for years like clockwork.
I walk 4 blocks then make a right as I make the right and start to walk, a man in a black suit black undershirt and a black tie passes me, I open my hand instinctively but unnoticeable and he slaps a low 5 on me hands me a pill. I then put the pill in my mouth and swallow.
I keep walking another 5 blocks then turn into abandon building, with broken windows and glass, go into a room and sit down on the one chair in the middle of the room. Whatever the pill I took was, it has had no effects on me, at least not so far. I really am content with sitting here like something is about to happen to me but I have no clue what it is.
I sit there for about 5 minutes and all of a sudden my head has a loud ring that seems to be just getting louder and louder, I put my hands around my ears but it doesn’t help, it is getting unbearable, the pressure is about to explode in my head and then……….Complete silence.
The phone rings inside my pocket it, I reach in grab it and answer
“Agent 91 Ryden Edenâ€
The guy on the other side speaks “You have 48 hours to complete this mission, after which whether the mission is completed or not your skills and memory will be lost If you believe extra time will be needed to complete the mission please reach out at least 5 hours before memory is lost..†The phone hangs up
I walk outside of the building and a Make a phone call it rings a few times and then someone answers
“What do you need†he says
“some wheels and some wingsâ€
“Doneâ€
I wait for a second and then sure enough A black 2014 saab 9-3 approaches, the driver gets out throws me the keys and walks away.
I get in the car, put my keys in the ignition, turn it on, and drive off. I’m headed to the airport, I make another phone call while I’m driving there
The person picks up “where are we headingâ€
“Siberia†the phone hangs up.
I’m half way to the airport when my back window gets blown out by gun shots.
“SHHIIT!!†I put in low gear, and take a sharp turn, barely making the exit skimming the yellow trash cans filled with sand. Luckily it went over the off ramp, which caused the vehicle behind me to swerve, giving me and extra second to get away
At the off ramp light I turn right at 60 mph drifting my back tires way past the turn before letting go of my e-brake and have my back tires catch. I start accelerating with a purpose, I go two lights then cut a hard left, drifting my back tires I minorly hit a parallel parked car which leaves a big dent in the rear driver’s side door, but It doesn’t slow me down for a second. I keep the pedal to floor; I have to get to the airport.
I’m making my way to the airport through the back roads, I believe I have lost them; I’m driving at normal speed now, trying to blend in with the traffic. I’m going down a 4 lane road when car is coming at me at on the other side with a ramp that hits the street and goes up to the hood.
Right before he passes me he cuts over to my lane, I try to avoid it, but my driver side wheels catch it and send me flying, I perform multiple barrel roles, landing on the passenger side and starts rolling, it rolls multiple times before stopping, lucky me its on its wheels, the door wont open. I’m struggling to get free before they come back for me.
I see a man with a gun walking towards my car.
“Fuck This†I scream and put my foot through the driver window, grab the bookbag in the backseat of the car, climb out and run into a huge crowd.
Now I am calm, I take off my blazer while walking, and tear off my pants, in which jeans are under, take the dark red hoody out of my backpack and put it on.
The guy with the gun rushes by me, shoving me aside as he rushes to try to find me, what an idiot.
I stop at a bus stop and wait for the bus to come; I hop on it and continue my way to the airport.
I take my way to the back of the bus put my hood up and sit in the corner, from here I can observe everybody on the bus, and look for anything suspicious that might be happening.
I’m about 5 minutes away from the airport, but on a bus it is more like 20, But at least I’m blended in and I’m pretty sure they don’t know where I am, but I have my guard up, I ALWAYS have my guard up. The bus trip, surprisingly, made it to the airport without incident. I get off the bus and walk into the main airport, I turn left and I walk all the way down to the end, and then I walk back out, where there is a black Lincoln town car waiting, I open the back driver side door and get in and shut the door. He backs out and starts down the small road to the executive airport.
We’re approaching the executive airport as the small road is leading to a dead end at where the airport is. As we pull up to the airport it opens up and rides right on the tar mat. Straight ahead there is the executive airport, pretty big for an executive one, but still super small compared the main airport. There is total of about 5 jet ways, with other planes parked on the Tar mat with the doors that open into a full staircase, open and on ground waiting to be boarded.
We pull up right to the plane, I get out, close the door, I start to walk up the steps of the plane when I fly 100 feet backwards, rolling to a stop, My ears are ringing, I have blood dripping from me. I slowly start to check my body for any fatal injuries, doesn’t seem to be any, so unless I’m bleeding internally I should be fine.
As I turn my head slowly, I now see why I flew so far, the plane had exploded, and there was a huge fire from where the plane was, the explosion did not reach the airport. Where the plane was, there is now a fire, it just burning the leftover fuel, and should burn out by itself.
I stand up and look around, the limo exploded as well, If I would have been in there………
There are quite a few planes still available and all though not mine, I walk up to one, start it up. I go through the pre check routine and then I Start making my way to the runway. I put the engines to 80 percent and start heading down the runway, as I gain speed I slowly pull back on the yoke and it slowly starts to rise.
“This is going to be a fun one†I think to myself and fly off into the ocean on my way to Siberia.

Chapter 2
The Flight
After hours of autopilot, I’m finally starting to see Land, which is good because now I am starting to run low on fuel, I get on the transponder and attempt to locate an air traffic control tower anywhere in the fecenity, No response. Well I’ve made it somewhere in Russia at least, and I’m not super low on fuel so I have about an hour or so before I start getting desperate.
Every 5 minutes I get on the transponder and attempt to contact an Air traffic Controller, so I may land and refuel. I don’t get a response for over an hour. I’m starting to get a little anxious as fuel is starting to become very low.
“FUEL LOW FUEL LOW†the announcement from the planes automated system starts calling out. I try one more time to get an Air Traffic Controller.
I get a response, “airport 32 degrees longitude by 28 degrees latitude clear for landing no planes in the air. I bank right and get myself line up for the landing, I start lowering my altitude when I see the Airport, my left engine goes out, one minute later the right engine goes out. I still have a ways to go, but I’m pretty high up, I put myself in a nose dive to gain speed. Going faster and faster the g forces start to make me pass out, I start to pull up to level off the plane, but I’m blacking out, slowly my black out is fading, it is starting to slow down but the airport is a lot closer now.
My plane is lowering its altitude slowly to prevent from stalling. I’m not going to make the runway. I’m going to be about 100 yards short, the good news is there is no fence blocking the runway and it is just hard grass if I can land the back wheels and just roll onto the runway I can get it refueled and be on my way. I raise the nose of the plane and the plane starts to stall a few feet from the ground.
The back wheels hit, making it super bumpy, but I need to keep the nose up as long as possible to prevent the front wheel from breaking.
The nose is dropping it is about the hit the ground, I hear the sweet sound of wheel catching the runway, I made it without incident, I coast as far as I can to get the airport, But I’m still pretty far away, I call the air traffic controller.
I get on the transponder “I’m out of gasâ€
“I will send a super tugâ€
So I wait patiently, I go to the passenger part where there is a mini fridge, I open it and grab a bottle water. I sit down in a nice plush huge leather seat, go to take another drink when something bumps the plane causing me to spill my water on my shirt a little.
I make my way to the cockpit to see the super tug attaching itself. We then start to move and we make are way to where the fuel is located.
I start to fuel the plane and start some casual small talk with the super tug driver.
“How long have you been here†I asked
“18 years, so where you headedâ€
“I’m just cruising through Russia, I got money to blow and I want to see the world, Figure I’d fly over Russia spend a few a days in tourist locations then make my way to Italy, from there hit up England, Ireland, and Scotland.
“Sounds fun.â€
At this point I’ve fueled the plane and gave the guy my credit card to run, he runs it gives it back.
“You should be able to take off in the next 20 minutesâ€
“Thanks you got some food in there?â€
“OF COURSE come on in, we got PLENTY 5 dollars a plateâ€
“MONEY, will you take me back to my plane or should I taxi it.â€
“Leave it here; it will be fine hop on in the super tug.â€
I hop in the super tug and he takes me back to an office, we walk in and sure enough, they must have just started eating dinner or something cause the food was freshly cooked, I give the guy 10 dollars for two plates and chow down. The food is great, that may because I’ve gone 24 hours without eating though, either way at least I put some fuel in my body.
I must have been in there for around 45 minutes, the guy and I walk out, only to see a heavy snowstorm coming in.
“It is not safe to take off my friendâ€
“What do you want me to do?â€
“Stay here for the night, have fun let’s play some drinking gamesâ€
“Do you have a place for me to stay?â€
“Of course, I don’t have an extra bed but we have a nice couch though HAHAHAâ€
I chuckle a little “that will do.â€
We walk back in the office and just hang out while the storm comes in, I check out the window and can’t see 3 feet in front me, it is real bad.
“Is this considered a blizzard?â€
“What, No HAHAHA if it was a blizzard you would not be able to see out that window at all, just a heavy snow storm, looking at the radar it looks like it will easily be gone by morning, maybe sooner.†The guy who drives the super tug was saying.
Well conversation and some fun goes on, I take a few shots but make sure I am very coherent and I do not drink too much.
The night is getting old and they head off to their rooms to sleep while I take the couch and lay down. I really can’t sleep but I know I dozed off for a couple of hours.
I get up off the couch and walk to the window and look outside, the snow storm looks like it has passed, I’m ready to go and Time is always a factor. I have 37 hours left to complete the mission. I have never requested for extra time and never needed to and that is why I’m the best. I put on my hoody and walk outside, its cold but at least it is visible, the runway is covered in snow, but only seems to be a couple inches deep, I start walking over to my plane, it really isn’t a long walk it is just a 1 minute ride and a 10 minute walk.
I get about a third of the way to my plane when I hear someone yell “HEY YOU LEAVINGâ€
I turn around and put my thumb in the air and yell back “thanks for everythingâ€
He walks back in the office and I continue my walk. I get to the plane and open the door and walk up the stairs that are built into the door and then close it up. I turn the plane on and initiate the system tests. Everything passes I get on the transponder “Zulu Alpha Bravo 1 5 niner ready to take offâ€
“There is snow on the runway advised not to take off until it is clearedâ€
“It isn’t that deep is it clear to take off†I say
“Yes but once again it is my recommendation not to take off till the snow clearsâ€
“Roger that†I start the engines and go the runway and stomp on the brakes, I feel like a static take off, they are pretty fun.
So I put my engines at 100 percent and let them rev up and the release the brake, it shoots down the runway and I take flight, onto Siberia. There is a hidden airport in the middle of nowhere which will be my checkpoint. The hard part will be finding it. But I have a couple of hours to go before that even becomes an issue.
I get to a cruising altitude and put into autopilot. I leave the cockpit door open since I’m the only one there; I get up and go to walk out of the cockpit. I go to the mini fridge and open it.
BANG!!!!, something just hit me hard in the back of the head. I quickly turn around to see another attack coming, I put up my hands and block it with my fore arm, he cocks back to swing again I Open my hand and the space between the thumb and the index finger and throw it in a jabbing motion right at his throat.
He grabs his throat as I stand up fully and start punching him in his face. On my weak hand punch He grabs my arm and flips me to the ground, he gets in a full mount position and starts swinging, I cover up the best I can but I am getting my face pounded. I thrust my waist up in the air to get a little space then quickly slide under him, I turn around to see him turning around as well to swing, I duck the punch take both my hands on his back and force him to my knee as hard as I can. He starts to bend over in pain and I elbow him in the back of his head and he falls to the ground. He immediately tries to get up but when he does I go to kick him in the stomach, He grabs my leg and I fall on my back with him coming on top of me again, This time, However, I’m in a full guard position.
He starts swinging wildly again, this time I have him, I let him throw a good 20 at me before I make my move, he Swings I slide my head to the left and grab his arm with both my hands, I then take my left leg and kick him in his face, while making him lay on his back. I have him in an arm bar and I snap it at the joint.
“HOW DID YOU FIND ME???!!!!!†I stomp on elbow of the arm I just broke.
“AHHHHHHH†“You really think we don’t have eyes on youâ€
“WHO HAS EYES ON ME???!!!†I stomp on his elbow again and once again he screams.
“Your mission will never be completed and Siberia will launch all there nuclear devices slowly destroying the entire earth with radiation.â€
“So they are just going to kill everyone that’s it including themâ€
He chuckles and agonizes in pain at the same time “You really think they would kill themselves, they have a way to protect everybody from radiation, and they know how to make all the radiation leave the atmosphere, We are going to hold the world hostage†He chuckles again and agonizes in pain at the same time.
“Fine†I snap his neck and jump back into the cockpit, I have about another hour of flight before I need to start looking for the hidden airport.

CHAPTER 3
THE CHECKPOINT
I lower my altitude so I can see the ground pretty clearly. I’m coming very close to the airport, I can’t use the transponder to contact though, nothing can give away my location, besides the plane in the air, but I am in the middle of nowhere with nothing around for miles, except for this hidden airport. It is full of snow on the ground. This place is going to be hard to spot. I turn off my transponder to prevent any radio transmissions from coming through.
I just start flying in a huge circle where the airport should be around, and every time I finish a rotation I make my circle a little smaller in an attempt to locate the airport. I start out with a 100 mile diameter and with every rotation cut 10 miles off.
At this point I’m on my 6th time around which is now a 40 mile diameter. I’m staring really hard at the ground trying to find any sign of an airport. Finally on my 7th time around I see a building. It is covered in snow and very hard to spot, that is my place. There is no place to land, and I won’t need the plane anymore.
I make a quick circle and put the plane in autopilot open the other side of the door that does not have stairs. I grab the emergency parachute and jump out. I pull the shoot and fall safely to the ground landing within 100 feet of the building. I detach my parachute and make my way to the building and walk in.
This place has censored light and the lights light up as I walk in the building, It is a nice open area, with a desk towards the back, right next to a wall that is behind it but no one is sitting there. There are a couple of nice chairs scattered around to create a nice lobby environment.
“Walk to the back†a voice from an intercom says
I naturally walk to the back and start to go through the hallway when there are doors, I try to open it, but its locked. Then a quick beep hits and the door becomes unlocked and I walk inside that leads to another hallway. I walk straight back till it ends in a little opening with a few different rooms, probably for strategic strategies and conferences in general.
I see a room that is populated with about 4 people and I go in there. I recognize one of the agents A longtime friend, we went into the agency at the same time and did all our training together, He has been a true friend to me and it is always nice to see him when my memory is activated.
“EDEN, what the hell has been going on?â€
“I have no clue but I am being attacked all the dam time and it is starting to piss me off, what is the whole point of this classified agency if they know where I am. I mean my memory should be permanent if that is the case.â€
My boy Tiberius speaks up “That has happened to all of usâ€
“Why is more than 1 person activated for this mission†I say because this is really odd
“We are dealing with a possible nuclear attack†Tibs goes on “They need the elite of the elite on this, which is of course, ME (chuckles), and you and these twoâ€
Now I have never seen the other 2 before, but it doesn’t surprise me, every time I’ve been on a mission there has been someone new I never knew work brief me, but this very odd to have 4 agents activated on the same mission, my guard is definitely up.
Briefers are people who give you extra information about the mission that wasn’t available during the time the pill was created. These guys have been taught No special skills. There expendable informants is all.
These other 2 our agents though, which is making me very skeptical,
“Any Briefers?â€
One of the guys I haven’t seen before speaks up “No Briefers, No New Infoâ€
“Besides the fact they always seem to know where we are and be one step ahead of a secret agency that the agents don’t even know who they are and can get just shot in the head while there memory is wiped and have no clue whyâ€
Tibs “Well since you put it that way……….yeahâ€
So now I’m going to have to depend on other people to complete this mission, My boy tibs, I am not worried about, however these other 2 agents I have never seen before.
“So who are we working with tibsâ€
“I am agent 67 Ken Speedâ€
“I am agent 27 Chris Flashâ€
“Do we have any idea where this facility is that is holding all these nuclear weapons?â€
Tibsâ€Undergroundâ€
Ryden “NO Shitâ€
Chris “This isn’t the time for sarcasmâ€
Ryden and Tibs at the same time “Got to have some fun†they laugh at the fact they said that simultaneously
“Does anybody have a radiation meter?â€
“Why†Ken asked
Tibs answers for me “Because it is obviously underground somewhere but there still should be some radiations showings on the ground, if we can narrow where this place might be at, let’s just say within a diameter of 100 miles we can use the radiation meter to catch radiation, once radiation shows on the meter, the facility has to be nearby.â€
Ryden “What he said.â€
Ken “I don’t have oneâ€
Tibs “wish I would have thought of that before I came hereâ€
Ryden “Me to, I was too busy getting trying not get killed to prep for anything†I think for a second “What about you Chris?â€
“Nope†He replies.
“Alright so what is Plan B on finding this location, How much time does everybody have by the way?â€
Tibs “I got around 30 hours leftâ€
Chris “I rather not give that outâ€
Ryden “WHY? It is important infoâ€
Chris “then you know how long my memory is good for as well as everyone else.â€
Ryden “ANDâ€
Chris “I rather notâ€
Ryden “So you don’t trust the people you are working with?!!â€
Chris “Can never be too cautiousâ€
Ryden “Ken what about you?â€
Ken “I have something like 20 hoursâ€
Ryden “Cool, well we are in Siberia we should be able to handle this in 20 Hours.†I continue “Tibs, Let’s see if we can’t find a radiation meter in here somewhere, Ken and Chris we will be backâ€
Ryden and Tibs walk out of the conference room, and goes to the other 3 to check any drawers and cabinets for a radiation meter, Of course nothing. They then continue down the hallway and proceed to the main lobby to check the main desk that’s in here.
Ryden “There has to be a radiation meter around her somewhere, With nuclear weapons around I know for a fact they had to check this place for radiation before the built it, and even then One should always be kept in here to check periodically for radiationâ€
TIBS “We have a bigger Problem I think we have a code Medusaâ€
Ryden “I’m already there, someone in the agency is working as a double agent†I pause “But who, It would have to be somebody that has information readily available, someone who’s memory isn’t wiped and has no training for skills or languages. The only people it could be is one of the guys that has information about all the agents, it would have to be someone who creates the pill for us to activate our memory.â€
TIBS “I don’t know, but we need to find a way to keep our memory if that is the caseâ€
Ryden “I know.†I continue to search the drawers of the main lobby desk “Finally found one†there was radiation meter. Tibs and Ryden walk back through the hallway gets beeped in by the other two agents and enter the conference room where they still are.
Ryden “Ok we have a radiation meter, do we have any idea where this place might beâ€
Tibs “From the research I’ve been doing It would have to be somewhere within this 200 mile diameter.â€
Ryden “200 mile diameter that is a BIG circle, we have to narrow it down by at least a 100 miles.
Ken “there is no way we can cover all that in 20 hours and destroy plant unless we get lucky and find it within the first couple hours of looking.â€
Ryden “It’s not even that Ken, If we could narrow the sides down we can drive in a straight line for 500 miles and it would only take 6 hours.†I think for a second “Someone please tell me there are wheels somewhere around this building.â€
Tibs “There are, no worries about that.â€
Chris “Tiberius is there anyways you narrow it down at all?â€
Tibs “I mean I can but it is all going to be educated guessing at this point, The place definitely has to be within that diameter of 200 miles but narrowing down any more than that will be an educated guess. A really good one, but an educated guess none the less.â€
Ken “should we ask for more timeâ€
Ryden “No, not yet. Tibs give me your best educated guess I need that cut in half I need a diameter of a 100 miles, we only have one radiation meter so we can’t all go searching. Tibs work on that for me and let me know what you come up with.â€
Tiberius goes into a conference room all by himself and starts to analyze
Ken “What do we do?â€
Ryden “Wait. Let Tibs do his thing and when he is ready he will tell usâ€
Chris “So we have to wait on a limited time frame…..Great…â€
Ryden “First off I rather wait an hour and have it narrowed down then go look rather then look and never find it, 2nd Tibs is the best at what he does so let him work.â€
Every now and then I look over at the conference room where Tibs is, and I see him with two fingers on his temple massaging it in a circular motion, I can tell he is stressing and trying to figure out a way to narrow the area down. About thirty minutes go by when I look up to see what he is doing, the massaging stops he bolts up, then immediately comes out of the conference room.
Tibs “I have narrowed it down to a 100 mile diameter If we drive in a straight line we should be able to pick up a small trace of radiation then follow it to the source.â€
Ryden “Lets Ride out Tibsâ€
Tibs and Ryden go to walk out,
Ken “what about us?â€
Ryden “We will be back.â€
With that Ryden and Tibs walk out the back exit which leads to another building that is partially underground, there are a couple of vehicles there, all snow white and all F-150 4x4. We hop in the vehicle and start on our way.
-
CHAPTER 4
The Search
Ryden “How far are we from the areaâ€
Tibs “about 70 miles then we can start searchingâ€
Ryden “Alright well let’s get to it.â€
With that Tibs starts down the way to the search area. They travel for about 35 minutes before they arrive at the location to start the search.
Tibs “Ry, turn on the radiation meter, where at the search area.â€
Ryden “Got you Tibs†I take the radiation meter out of my pocket and turn it on. “Stopâ€
Tibs slows down to a complete stop “what’s wrong?â€
Ryden “Let’s get out of the car and walk for a secondâ€
Tibs “How about NO, it’s freezing dudeâ€
Ryden “Let’s get out and walk for a secondâ€
With that Tibs gets the hint and we get out of the truck, and walk about 30 feet from the truck and then just stand there to talk.
Ryden “Listen I don’t know if the truck is bugged or not, So I do not want to talk about this in there, How do you feel about these 2 guysâ€
Tibs “unless someone is lying, There is no way they could be a medusa. They would have to have records of all the agents, and there is no way they could have that, I mean we are like the number 1 and 2 agents, If any agent would have that information it would be us.â€
Ryden “Yeah I know, this whole mission is odd.†I pause for a brief moment and think, “Let’s get back in the truck and find this facility.â€
Tibs “Let’s.â€
We walk back to the truck and get in and start to search for the facility.
We drive in a straight-line from the area which has been narrowed 100 miles. No signs of radiation.
Ryden “Dam we have been out here just under 2 hours and just made the 100 mile mark with not even a trace of radiation.â€
Tibs stops the car “well, we still have the other part of the area to checkâ€
Ryden “let’s go back 50 miles and make a 90 degree turn and start searching the other halfâ€
Tibs “Already turning aroundâ€
We turn around and start to head back to the middle of the area so we can check the other side. For once in this mission, things are going smooth, although we cannot find the facility yet, there have been no surprises. Everything about this mission has gone wrong and to have something go at least somewhat right is a relief.
Ryden “What if it is not a Medusaâ€
Tibs “What else could it be?â€
Ryden “Someone could have infiltrated the agencyâ€
Tibs “isn’t there only like 2 people that even know where the headquarters are that has the central data base of all the agentsâ€
Ryden “2?!!! I thought it was 1â€
Tibs “Yeah I remember that way back in orientation, But last time I was activated I heard he was grooming the next guy to take over.â€
Ryden “Really? It makes sense, I mean we have been in the agency, what, 5 years now, and the agency has been around long before that,â€
Tibs “Yeah We entered at 22 together, But the agency just started the whole Pill thing when we started. That is why they went on a hiring frenzy because a lot of people quit the agency once the pill protocol was put into practice.â€
Ryden “yeah and we were the guinea pigs.â€
Tibs “Yep†Tibs reaches the center of the search area “Right or left firstâ€
Ryden “Surprise meâ€
Tibs makes a left and starts down the second to last quadrant of the search area.
We continue down there, but with no luck, Tibs turns around and continues to proceed to the last quadrant, during the last little bit of driving something finally hits.
“It’s got something†I say to Tibs
“What?†Tibs Replies
“The radiation meter is reading something, it is super weak, but none the less it has something.†With that a little smirk comes to my face
“Let’s get back to the building and get Ken and Chris†Tibs says and immediately starts to turn around to get them
“Tibs lets continue a little further, let’s make sure it is what we are looking for.†I say that because we all know how something can seem great but then actually not be anythingâ€
“What else could give out a radiation reading in the middle of Bum Fuk Egypt?â€
“Exactly my point, let’s find out what else could give out a radiation signal in the middle of Bum Fuk Egypt.â€
We continue down the final quadrant with radiation signal slowly but surely getting stronger. We are now past the search area, but radiation was found within the search area, so Tibs did his job, and did it perfect like always.
“How far do you want us to go out before we head back?†Tibs asks
“Until we know exactly what we are dealing with.†I say
Tibs “The facility could still be an hour or so away from the moment radiation is able to be read.â€
Ryden “I know that, but we have to do proper surveillance to figure out exactly what we are dealing with, how big the facility is, and possible entry and exit points.â€
Tibs “I know that but shouldn’t we go get the other two guys so that way it should be easier, 4 heads are better than 2.â€
Ryden “Listen, the less people we have to get involved to complete this mission the better, I cannot trust anyone at this point in time. HELL, I barely trust you at this point.†We both smirk and let out a small chuckle, and though I was kidding, both Tibs and I know the severity of what has happened and that no one, not even your best friend can be fully trusted right now.
Tibs “I know exactly what you mean. Let’s just hope our ass will cash this check that we are about to write ourselvesâ€
Ryden “If we can’t do it, the earth will be held hostage.â€
For the next hour and a half we play with the radiation reading while driving around If it starts to get weaker, we turn around and as the readings get stronger we put the pedal to the medal. After driving around in the middle of nowhere the radiation is at its strongest point. The meter is off the charts, it has to be here.
Tibs stops the vehicle “Well we are here, but there is absolutely nothing hereâ€
Ryden “There is eyes on us, I guarantee it. Write down the coordinatesâ€
Tibs “already didâ€
Ryden “Let’s get out and walk aroundâ€
Tibs “Really?â€
Ryden “Really!â€
Tibs does his normal complaining when getting out of the call “It’s freezing outside and nice and warm in here, but let’s go freeze ourselves to deathâ€
Ryden “You know for a secret agent, you sure Bitch a lot.†And I start to laugh
Tibs “Whatever man, I don’t bitch about shit unless it is cold weather, the know better to send me on a mission in the cold ass frozen tundraâ€
Ryden “Walk Tibs we have to find an entrance to this placeâ€
Tibs and I walk around the vast area about 20 feet from the truck and stop. I bend over and push the snow over, it is nothing but grass
Ryden “Let’s keep walking†I continue to walk in a pretty big circle, and about every 20 feet move the snow around so I can see the ground.
Tibs “There is no way you’re going to find anything, I think they we would smart enough to put some Grass down over any metal doors to avoid being caught like thisâ€
Ryden “You would think wouldn’t you?†I pause “But If there was NO knowledge of this ever being existed and it is in the middle of nowhere in the frozen tundra, then why would the spend extra money to protect something that does not need protectionâ€
Tibs “Why not, just to be extra precautious.â€
Ryden “See Tibs the difference between the bad guys and good guys is one thingâ€
Tibs “and what is that?â€
Ryden “you see†as I continue to walk “if good guys planned and evil deed, the wouldn’t cut corners or costs to assure a clean get away†I then bend down “However a bad guy will cut every corner he can because he feels he is to smart and can get away with anything†I start to brush the snow off “A bad guy will also cut every corner possible to save a penny†As the snow brushes off the floor I knock and the sound of steel is sweet ringing to my ears “Bad guys are greedy which is why they will never get away with anything.â€

CHAPTER 5
Outreach
Tibs “what is this, a fucking movie, I’m just going to say the catch line just as I find what I’m looking for.â€
I bust out laughing “You have your talents, I got mine.â€
Tibs “So now what do we do?â€
Ryden “Outreach†I get my phone out of my pocket and dial a number
Someone answers “What do you needâ€
Ryden “A satellite overview of my present position, one with a Diameter of 10 miles, one with 25 miles, one with 50 miles, and one with a 100 miles.â€
Phone Guy “It will be completed and sent†the phone hangs up
Ryden “How long will take back to get to base?â€
Tibs “Well considering we don’t have to go back and forth chasing a radiation signal around, an hour and a half maybe just an hour if I push it at 150.â€
Ryden “Well push it, Ken has like 15 hours left, by the time we get back it will be 14, we need to get back to this place with at least 10 hours left for him.â€
Tibs “Agreed†with that we walk back to the truck and swiftly start our way back to our base
Ryden “Man, I really hope there were no eyes on us.â€
Tibs “I doubt it. Snipers would have shot at us by now, we would have seen traces of a vehicle if they were anywhere near us, unless they were doing some surveillance on us, but even then we….
I finish his statement “would have noticed something. I know. I just can’t believe they know where we are at all times and all of sudden nothing, no problems, not a dam thing. It is like they just dropped right off the map.
Tibs “Everything is super shadyâ€
Ryden “How far are we from the baseâ€
Tibs “Not far at all, probably about another 15 minutesâ€
Ryden “Really we have only been driving like 20 minutesâ€
Tibs “well I’m pushing close to 200 miles per hourâ€
Ryden “an F-150 can go that fastâ€
Tibs “well apparently this supped up version can, this is a raptor.â€
Ryden “well lets RAPTOR our asses back to baseâ€
Tibs chuckles and we continue to our base, once we reach the coordinates we park the truck in front of the building, get out and walk into the complex.
Ryden “Now the satellite images should be here.†I walk past the lobby into the hallway open the door “Ken and Chris did you all get the satellite images?†I continue walking to the back of the building to the set of conference rooms. As the opening approaches, I notice one major thing; the other 2 agents are gone, although my satellite images are in the conference room they were in when we left.
Tibs “Are you serious? Did they just go play hero?â€
Ryden “That is what we didâ€
Tibs yells out “Yeah, but we are the A-team!!!!!†and starts to laugh and I crack up as well
Ryden “Let’s go in the room and see what we can find.â€
Tibs and I walk into the conference room where all the satellite images are, they are all thermal images which helps out a lot.
Ryden “Here is the 10 mile diameter, and there are the 25, 50, and 100 diameters over there†I look hard at the 10 mile image “I mean there is a lot going on under there, you see the hot spots?â€
Tibs who seems to be bothered by something says “You might want to come look at this oneâ€
I walk over to the other side of the room and my jaw drops I look at the 25 mile diameter, which seems normal, then the 50, again looks fine, but when I look at the 100 mile diameter I see what he sees. The thermal images we received all looked normal until you see the 100 mile diameter image, which shows this facility is about 90 miles alone in diameter with thermal imaging dropping out at about 90 miles.
Ryden “so this facility is 90 miles in diameter, they have enough nuclear weaponry stored to destroy this entire solar system.â€
Tibs doesn’t speak, just stares aimlessly at the 100 mile Diameter image, He is in shock, as am I. How in the hell are we going to stop this.
I finally speak up “Ok look, so they have a crap load of nuclear weapons, Big deal. I guarantee we don’t have to go around shutting them all off, there has to be a master panel, or master computer that controls the launch and diffusion of these nuclear weapons.â€
Tibs “But it can be anywhere within that 90 mile diameter, that is 282 mile circumference, where it could be anywhere.â€
Ryden “Now it can’t be anywhere, Lets narrow it downâ€
Tibs “How, we have no blue prints or anything, we have like 13 hours left before Ken is wiped, and who knows where he and Chris are by the way.â€
Ryden “I know, let’s get the coordinates of the edges, there has to be an entrance somewhere around there.â€
Tibs “I’ll write them down, every 5 miles I will write down the coordinatesâ€
Ryden “Do that I’m going to make a call.â€
Tibs “what are you going to ask for?â€
Ryden “A favor, this guy owes me one from way back in the day, I’m going to see if he knows anything about this.â€
Tibs “You know you’re not allowed to talk about the mission with anyone that is not involvedâ€
Ryden “Like I said back at the nuclear site, it’s time to outreachâ€
Tibs “Protocol states in order to outreach, it must be approved.â€
Ryden “Well, we are dealing with a possible medusa, two agents that we have no clue where they are, and also a possible infiltration of the agency, I think you can understand when I say this…………FUCK PROTOCOL!!!!
With that I walk out of the conference room and pull the phone out of my pocket, and dig through my contact list. There he is, I think in mind and I hit dial. It rings and rings and rings with no pick up. After about 20 rings it goes to a voicemail. I leave a message
“This is Mr. Eden, Its time for the return†and I hang up the phone. I’ll have to wait to see if he calls back. I walk back into the conference room and put the phone on the table in the conference room.
Tibs “Well that was quick.â€
Ryden “Because there was no answer.â€
Tibs “So now what?â€
Ryden “Wait till he calls back, until then let’s see if we can find any information on entry and exit points, find all construction companies in the area, check back to see if any of them has an outrageous contract with anyone.â€
Tibs “I’m already working on it.â€
Tibs starts researching every construction company in Siberia in that area. I really hope my contact calls back, researching the way Tiberius is could take days, even a couple of weeks.
Ryden “How many are in the area Tibs?â€
Tibs “Actually quite a lot for Siberia, looking at close to a couple hundred.â€
Ryden “Man, we need him to call back.â€
Tibs “Don’t worry Ry, your still thinking about Ken’s time frame, we have an extra 8-10 hours, we are chilling with 12 for him but remember we got like 22 for me and like 26 for you.â€
Ryden “I understand that, but everyone is assigned for a reason, now there reason may have been completed already, since they have less time than us, but there was a reason none the less.â€
Tibs continues to look for odd looking contracts with the construction companies while I stand over the 100 mile diameter image and just stare at it and think. There is no way he has 282 miles worth of nuclear weapons, I mean, that wouldn’t only take the world hostage, it would bring everything on this planet to total extinction, or at least some crazy ass mutation.
It has been a couple of hours with no phone call and Tibs just plugging away at the construction companies. I speak up “Tibs, I know you’re working hard but if you can find the construction company they are bound to have blueprints of the facility.
Tibs “Exactly and it will be so dam easy to infiltrate that place, it won’t even be funny. The problem is finding the construction company that did this, and even if I did find the correct construction company, I would then have to hope that they didn’t hide the expenses all over the place because that will be another fiasco, putting them where they need to be.
Ryden “I really hope my contact calls back soon, cause with ever second we get a little closer to failure.â€
About another 30 minutes goes by when my phone rings, I take it out of my pocket and look at the call, and it’s him
I answer “Time for you to return the favor I gave you all tho
-
Ryden “I really hope my contact calls back soon, cause with ever second we get a little closer to failure.â€
About another 30 minutes goes by when my phone rings, I take it out of my pocket and look at the call, and it’s him
I answer “Time for you to return the favor I gave you all those years ago.â€
He responds “Listen you only get one, and I will go all out for you for 1 favor, after that you need to lose my numberâ€
“I know, I’ve been waiting for the perfect time for this favor and now it is.â€
“What do you need?â€
“Siberia, there is a nuclear plant about 90 miles in diameter, I need blueprints to the facility, entry and exit points, and staff count. It is underground, been on top of it and cannot find any entry or exit points.â€
“This is your favor, you are very lucky my friend. I have some connections attached to this. Let me see what I can provide for you and I will get back to you within the hour.â€
Tibs “Good news?â€
Ryden “Yeah…..well hopefully we will see within the hour.â€
Tibs continues to work the construction companies why we wait on a callback. Although I know my contact is good for it if he can come up with it, I just hope he can come up with the data I need.
Sure enough right about an hour goes by when my phone rings. I pick it up and answer “What do you have for me?â€
“You’re in luck, I have blueprints to the site, average staff on duty and entry and exit points, how can I send them your way.†He says
“Can you do email?†I say
“No I can’t have it linked to me, what about a fax?â€
“It really isn’t that safe, you could trace my location with a fax.†I say because I have used this method before to figure out where my mission was.
“Well that is basically my only option besides handing them to you in person.†He says
I sit and I think, whatever, if he traces me that is fine, I need to stop the world from being held hostage, or even worse, destroyed. “800-559-9191â€
“Got it, all your info will be there momentarily, once it arrives, you know what do with my number†hey says
“I know†I hang up the phone and put it back in my pocket.â€

Chapter 6
Strategic Planning
About 15 minutes go by and sure enough I hear something start to come in on the fax.
“Hey Tibs, Stop working on the construction companies, I believe we are about to have what we need.†I say
Tibs “Great, cause I have no clue how much longer this was going to take, I have been threw 50 construction companies already with nothing out of the ordinary.†The Fax continues to come through with multiple pages.
Ryden “I’m Going to go see what is on the fax, I will be right back.â€
I go to the fax machine and pick up the papers, everything is there. I have average staff count, blue prints of the entire facility, and even entry and exit points. I walk back to the conference room where Tiberius is and set down the papers and start to look at everything and start piecing it together.
Tibs “Let’s take a look at the blueprints firstâ€
Tibs grabs the blueprint papers and spreads them out on the conference table and when we decipher what we see, we are stunned.
Ryden “There is no way this can be right.â€
Tibs “It’s there in black and white.â€
Ryden “I know, but if this is correct, there is only about a total of 30 miles that employees work with and the other 252 miles is all storing nuclear weapons.â€
Tibs says in a soft shocked voice, “We have got to find a way to shut this place down for goodâ€
Ryden “Well, on a good note, with their only being 30 miles of actual employee work space, we won’t have to search forever hopefully for the dam central control system, in Fact, the blue prints shows that the central control system is right near one of the 5 entry points in the facility.â€
Tibs “What is really odd about these blue prints, is it shows 5 entry points and then 5 separate exit points, almost as if you can only enter one way and only exit one way.â€
Ryden “Now, It says there is between 20-30 people in the central control center at any given time, that is going to be tough, I just don’t want to go in there guns a blazing and set off a reaction that will destroy all of humanity.â€
Tibs “Right, but with all of these, I guarantee there is some type of self-destruct protocol in place, or a permanent inactive protocol that would inactivate all nuclear devices in case of a takeover.â€
Ryden “So I have about 22 hours left, we are about an hour away from the facility. The entry point that is close to the central control center is roughly 100 miles farther then our last point where we were at.â€
Tibs “So we are looking at another 30 minutes making the drive about an hour.â€
Ryden “So how do we find it, Just go to the coordinates and hope for the best.â€
Tibs “Well lets come up with all the internal planning first and we will worry about how to get in when we leave here. We can always do some recon there before we make our move.â€
Ryden “Good point, WHERE THE FUCK ARE KEN AND CHRIS???!!!! You know what, Fuck em!! I have a better Idea, Now the central control center is closest to the second entry point so I bet that will be the most guarded, however, if we entered entry point number 1, It is only 1 mile from the central control system. It looks like that is the grunt entry point as well, looking at these blue prints these is probably all the mechanics and stuff, people who don’t know shit what is going on. This will be the easiest entry point to get into to.â€
Tibs “Well how do expect to get in without being noticed?â€
Ryden “Your idea, Recon. After we got the inside plan completely figured out I say we go out a ways and abandon the truck, lay in the snow and wait for a shift change. The least one of us have is about 18 hours, shifts at most our 10 hours long. We should be finished and there in the next 3 to 4 hours. Once we see the people enter, we execute them, and then take their uniforms and badges. I have a Pic of me and can modify the badge; do you carry a picture around of you?
Tibs “Yeah, just in case of an event like this, I always have self-portrait 2 by 3 of me.â€
Ryden “Good.â€
Tibs “Now once we enter, we will still have a mile to travel, to get the facility, now I’m pretty sure the grunts can be walking a mile along to the control center without being stopped and asked why.â€
Ryden “Maybe, but maybe not, Lets prepare for the maybe.â€
Tibs “I say once we are in, there are bound to be some type of janitor services, and they can walk anywhere I bet. Once we get in, we start our walk looking for janitors, find them, knock them out, change to their uniforms and are on our way.â€
Ryden “Great idea Tibs.â€
Tibs “I figure we have at least a half a mile in the grunt uniform before anyone comes even close to suspicious, plus there is a check point we have to go through ¾ of a mile into it.â€
Ryden “Let’s see who has clearance through that checkpointâ€
I go and look at the other papers that came in on the fax, In the blue prints, it says that it is check point 2-75. I look through the papers in hopes to find, and there it is, A page with all the checkpoints and people who have clearance at every check point.
Ryden “It looks like Janitors, anyone working in the central control system, and all superiors have access to this one.â€
Tibs “All superiors that is great. That means we won’t need the janitor uniforms, when we go in, let’s scout for the supervisor uniforms for the grunts, they will more than likely enter at checkpoint 1 as well and will also be able to have access to where we need to go.â€
Ryden “You are a genius Tibs, but you know I would have thought of itâ€
Tibs “But I thought of it first, So TIBS has DIBS on THESE IDEASâ€
Ryden “OH so on top of ALLL YOUR TALENTS,……… you’re a fucking poet to.â€
Tibs and I enjoy a laugh, but it is short lived. We have a good Idea on how to enter the facility, now we just have to figure out how to enter the facility literally. “Well let’s start preparing to hit the road for good.†I say
Tibs “Gotchaâ€
Ken and Chris are still on mind, but, unfortunately, I have no time to try and play babysitter, I start grabbing gear for the cold, and also grab a snow guile suit. I look around and see Tibs grabbing the same type of supplies I am, but I notice he grabbing extra clothing to stay warm as he mumbles to himself about being in the dam cold. I can’t help but chuckle as I continue packing my things.
I have a book bag that is filled with a hand gun, silencer, clips, a USB port with hacking software installed into it, A small automatic handgun just in case things get dicey, and clips for that gun as well. I put on my book bag and put the snow guile suit over it, I look over to see Tibs all guiled out as well, but I notice he has two ski masks on, a thin and a thicker one, Plus goggles.
Ryden “Tibs, you ready to rock.â€
Tibs “Yes Sirrrr.â€

CHAPTER 7
20 THOUSAND LEAGUES UNDER THE SNOW
Tibs and I hop in the truck and start 1 hour ride to the entry point. As we go along this path it rather quiet and peaceful, like the very still calm before a very chaotic storm. I use this time to do mental preparation and thinking of every possible way to get caught and every possible way out. The ride was long but we finally get there, we stop about 3 miles out and start to walk in our guile suits.
Tibs “3 MILES!!!???â€
Ryden “Stop acting like it is a long hike.â€
Tibs “But it’s like 2 degrees outside; we couldn’t stop like a mile in a half out?â€
I don’t even say anything, I just stare right through his goggles and all he can do is sigh and keep going. I can’t help but laugh in my head; I don’t understand how such an amazing agent can be such a bitch when it comes to the cold.
We walk for a good 20 minutes in the snow and have gone about a mile in a half. Half way there I get my binoculars and look towards the coordinates of the entry point.
Ryden “There is nothing, Just snow on the ground, there is not any signs of snow being moved or anything. It is like this area has never been touched.â€
Tibs “How are we supposed to get in?â€
Ryden “Wait for a shift change, like we plan.â€
Tibs “where you at?â€
Ryden “I got about 19 left you?â€
Tibs “15.â€
Ryden “Ok so when this shift change happens, chances are all the grunts will probably go in together, since they work with each other and probably bullshit while there entering the facility. The supervisors will either enter first, to handle the shift change, or second to handle the shift change.â€
Tibs “Why would they enter second, don’t they need to know what is going on before the shift starts, that is why it is called a hand down in most places.â€
Ryden “Right but there a few companies that want the grunts there first so when that shift supervisor shows up, they are already working and in some companies opinions the hand down goes smoother after the grunt change, rather than before. For instance the supervisor comes in after the grunts and during the hand down, 2 guys called out on your shift today.â€
Tibs “Gotcha that makes sense, but the other way makes sense to me to though.â€
Ryden “They both make sense; it just comes down to preference of the company.â€
During the time we are talking we still continue to walk for another 10 minutes until we are about a mile out, after that we lay down on our stomachs, and start slowly crawling to the coordinates of the entry point. We do not get to close, we crawl for about an hour and are about half a mile out, now it’s time to hurry up and wait.
Tibs and I continue to hold for something to happen, we wait for 5 hours in our guile suit when we finally see how people enter and leave. I see a huge bus, modified to handle the terrain it is in, Drive up and drops about 50 people off and immediately leaves.
Ryden “Let’s see how they enter, the bus has to come back to pick up the people that our leaving.â€
Tibs “You can only enter on entry points and exit at exit pointsâ€
Ryden “Right but there is sure to be a bus to take the people getting off back to their vehicles or a designated location.â€
Tibs “I say we put ourselves into position to take the bus next time it departs, from there we can steal his uniform….â€
Ryden “There is probably only 1 or 2 bus drivers, everybody will know there face. I say let’s start crawling up, one is bound to stray for a second or so, that will be our in. Also there has to be people leaving, we might want to track to an exit point and get them like that, then walk around to the entry point.â€
Tibs “They are just still standing there, nothing is happening. How are we supposed to get in when the workers can’t even get in?â€
Ryden “They will get in; they won’t leave them out in the cold for 5 hours Like I did you.â€
At this point I see Tibs look at me, and although his goggles where on, I felt the meanest stare come upon me eyes, which of course made me laugh.
Tibs “Look, Something is happening.â€
At this point we see a huge platform raise straight up, Almost like a huge elevator lifting up, it gets about 10 feet high then stops and workers start walking in to this huge elevator.
Tibs “we got to move!!â€
Ryden: “wait, we will be fine, there will be another bus with more employees, that was only like 30 people, let’s start crawling and get right next to the entry point.â€
Tibs “You better be right.â€
Ryden “The staff count is way higher than 30 for the grunts, the paper said there should be close to 100 at any given time per shift at this entry point.â€
Tibs “Alright let’s start the crawlâ€
Tibs and I start to crawl over as the platform sinks back into the ground taking the employees with them. No one had any different uniforms, so I am assuming no supervisors have showed up yet, but I am pretty sure there is bound to be 2 or 3 at least with a staff that big.
The platform completely sinks into the ground and once it shuts it is like it never opened, it sinks perfectly into the ground with the snow covering up any signs that it was there. As Tibs and I continue to crawl this half a mile, it takes about 40 minutes, But we are right next to the platform.
Tibs and I continue to wait for the next bus to arrive, and about 20 minutes later it does. The bus comes and drops off about 50 people this time, this is going to be our one and only shot of getting in. we are going to have to be perfect. We are about 20 feet away from the nearest person, but notice 4 off in a distance talking to themselves
Ryden “I say we take out them 4, and grab 2 uniforms and go.â€
Tibs “They are about 50 feet away from the regular crowd and only about 35 away from us let’s start the crawl.â€
Ryden “We have about 20 minutes before the platform opens, let’s take our time.â€
Tibs and I slowly begin a crawl, moving very slowly, it takes about 15 minutes, just to move 30 feet. Tibs flanks the other two so now we are each behind two people. I grab two knives, one from each thigh holster and unzip my snow guile suit to expand. I look at Tibs as he looks at me and I give my head a nod. As I give the head know the platform starts rising and everybody starts looking at the platform.
Tibs gives the head nod as well, and we stand up simultaneously put our knives threw each one of their skulls, and we fall on them, with the snow guile suit expanding it covers up all 3 bodies on my side and his guile suit takes care of his side. From there we quickly unzip the main zipper of the guile suit so we can get out of it. I quickly take my legs out of the guile suit and get the picture of myself and the card maker out of my book bag. I get one person’s I D card take my picture put right on top of his and run it through the card maker, the card maker will laminate my picture on top of his and will look exactly like an I D card except with my picture.
I continue to take off his uniform and I take a layer of clothing off me show the uniform will fit. The uniform is a jump suit of shorts, and dark blue. It resembles a painter outfit, or a winter caddie outfit. Nice and thin, easy to slip on and seems to me made of polyester. I put on the jumpsuit and leave my hoody under it for warmth, I take everything out of my book bag and put in holsters that I have had strapped on me under the jumpsuit.
I have a place for clips knives and the guns that I have on me, and a place for my silencer. The card maker, I will leave under my guile suit, And the software hacking USB will fit nicely into my pocket. I have my jumpsuit fully on, and put the I D card back on the jumpsuit, I then crawl out from under the guile suit, to see Tibs doing the same thing, and we start to walk toward the platform, which has been raised completely at this point.
Almost everybody is already on with a few people still boarding, and Tibs and I start a light jog as we see people waving us over, basically saying hurry up and get on befo
-
Almost everybody is already on with a few people still boarding, and Tibs and I start a light jog as we see people waving us over, basically saying hurry up and get on before it closes.
We get on the platform just before it starts descending. We move toward the middle of the pack to try to blend in with the crowd the best that we can. The Platform descends, and once fully descending, It leads to a pretty big opening with about 10 different hallways it breaks into, assuming different work sites for different areas of expertise. Now these hall ways aren’t really hallways, as it is just a huge opening but the opening breaks off into little walkways that have rails on either side.
The 50 workers all go their own way with some going to all the walkways. Tibs and I follow a couple of people and take the walkway all the way to the right as that will lead to the control center. Each walkway is plenty large enough for two people walking the opposite direction to pass easily with a little extra space.
We drag back so we can communicate; we notice that most people in here are speaking Northeastern Common Turkic, and since they are, that is the language we talk in as to not raise suspicion.
Ryden “Everyone in front of us has broken off to their work stations, and with the uniform and badge we have, we don’t have clearance to get past the checkpoint.â€
Tibs “Does supervisors even have a different uniform.â€
Ryden “I don’t think so, I see no other types of uniforms in here, check your I D card see if it just regular employee or lead or something like thatâ€
Tibs, for some reason, got taught how to read this language, and I for some reason did not. I only learned how to speak it, but as my memory is still relevant to me, I vaguely remember being sent away on a mission when I was supposed to learn reading and writing skills for a couple of languages, this most have been one of them.
Tibs “Nope I’m just a grunt†Tibs looks over at my badge “You on the other hand are a supervisor.â€
Ryden “That is great news, check this; I am going to bring you with me threw the checkpoint, and let the people know at the checkpoint that you are getting promoted and I am just showing you around the extra places in the facility that you couldn’t go before and how to navigate to the new designated locations you are allowed to go to.â€
Tibs “Let’s get to it man, you think on your feet mighty swiftly my friend.â€
Ryden “Well you know…..Every now and then I go in genius modeâ€
-
I know I'm in this...and that makes me bias.....but hell I would go see this in a movie theater....and that is coming from a old-school pirate..

CHAPTER 8
SMOOOOOOOOTH OPERATOR
Tibs and I continue to walk down the walkway, As we are walking a few people walk by us going the other way, but no one has any suspicion about us. We continue to walk when we get to the checkpoint, to find no one guarding it, but just a big heavy metal fence door that locked and only can be opened with a swipe of a badge. This makes no sense to me as you could very easily just climb over it, but I guess someone would see you if you tried.
Ryden “This part will be easier than I thought†I swipe my badge and get the green light. I open the door, let Tibs go through first, and then I walk in right behind him. We still have a quarter mile to go before we make it to the central control center
As we walk, we notice this place is a little more populated as quite a few more people are passing by us. Tibs and I continue to keep walking like we are supposed to be there. One of our most exquisite traits is that Tibs and I are the best and staying under the radar in high pressure situations, we maintain our character and show no sign of nerves.
We get to about a tenth of the mile from the central control center, when I see the real protection. There are at least 3 entrances to the central control center, and they all have two guards at every entry point with automatic weapons.
Tibs “Let’s slow up a bit, see if we can see how the employees pass the guards.â€
Ryden “Good idea.â€
So we slow our pace and actually stop for a second, and act like we are talking about something, and as we start to continue our walk that is when we see how they get in. The man shows the guard his I. D. badge. After they show that, He has a necklace, almost like dog tags, that he shows the security guard. This has to be some type of extra identification to get in the central control center. The guards then pat him down and let him in.
Tibs and I continue to walk and Tibs notices a bathroom.
Tibs “I got to take a piss.â€
Ryden “Me to.â€
Tibs and I walk in the bathroom and check to see if anyone else is in the bathroom. It is clear.
Ryden “look we could wait for one of them to use a bathroom, steal both there identifications, but when I get patted down, I am more loaded up then a guy overdosing on crystal meth.â€
Tibs “Dump them.â€
Ryden “And risk no way to survive if our cover is blown, I think not sir.â€
We look around and see a vent, I speak up. “Tibs, I know this sounds cliché but we could always use the vent, kill everyone inside, and have plenty of time to hack it.â€
Tibs “this is a warehouse setting, the ceiling out of here is like 200 feet tall, we would have to climb that, then hopefully find the correct passage to the central control center, after that we would have to kill everyone, before there was any screaming or they are able to run out. I know we are good, and we could probably take out about 10 a piece, but someone would slip the cracks, we need to be realistic.â€
Ryden “I am, look the vents our 200 feet in the air, what are the chances of anyone growing any suspicion that people are crawling threw them. Yes it will be a 200 foot climb, We are secret agents, we do what it takes.â€
Tibs “I agree, I’m not worried about the climb, I’m More worried about the 30 people we are going to have to silently kill all at one time. This isn’t assassin’s creed, just because they are not facing the way your facing doesn’t mean they can’t hear the grunts and moans of someone being strangled.â€
Ryden “I have a silencer, If we can take them out back to front, we might have a chance.â€
Tibs “That is if they are all facing the same way, what if they are facing all types of way, or what if they are in a circle with a big central screen in the middle?â€
Ryden “We are making it more complicated then what it needs to be, I mean it is complicated, but we are so smart that sometimes we can over think stuff when two people activated get together.â€
Tibs “What about the guards?â€
Ryden “What about the guards?â€
Tibs “they have to have some type of breaks, they can’t just stand there for 10 hours straight.â€
Ryden “Good point, what are you thinking?â€
Tibs “well, we can walk all around that place fine, without raising suspicion.â€
Ryden “We can’t just walk around the for hours, waiting for the guards to change shifts.’
Tibs “No but we can find the most isolated entrance, take the two out and change uniforms.â€
Just then one of the guards walks in the bathroom, Tibs and I start to wash our hands like we just got done using the bathroom. The guard goes in a stall to use the bathroom. Tibs and I look at each other and our minds are in sync.
The guard is taking his time, when someone else walks in the bathroom, just a regular employee, he is taking a piss. I do not want to kill and hide more bodies then I have to. The employee finishes going to the bathroom and walks out without even washing his hands.
The guard flushes the toilet and opens the stall, As soon as the stall door opens and he takes one step out, I have my knife go right through his skull, he falls back on the toilet.
Ryden “Tibs, hurry up and get changed.â€
Tibs would probably rebuttal with a who made you leader, but there is no time for jokes now and Tibs just goes in the stall and swiftly begins the change.
Ryden “I am going to go see which door is missing a guard so you can walk straight to it.â€
I walk out and pass by the central control system, It is almost like a separate building itself, as this has to be the only place where the walls go 200 feet in the air to the warehouse ceiling. As I make my loop, I notice no guard is missing anywhere; they must have to be replaced, even for a bathroom break.
I casually walk back in the bathroom; still no one is in there but Tibs and the dead guard, but the dead guard now has the uniform of a worker and Tibs is all suited up in the guard uniform.
Ryden “No entry point is missing guard; he must have been replaced for the bathroom break. Our only hope is the temp guard notices you and starts going out of position which will make your spot easy to find.â€
Tibs “I’ll be fine man, what is the plan.â€
Ryden “Well, my plan at this point is to wait for one of them C.C.C. guys to come and use the bathroom, take there uniform, go to the entry point you are at, and hopefully you will be the one that pats me down. Go ahead and go, I am going to stay in the bathroom and wait. This is the closest bathroom to the C.C.C.â€
Tibs “Oh we are using acronyms now I use C.C.C. instead of Central Control Center, I am coolâ€
Ryden “Shut up and just go.â€
Tibs chuckles and walks out of the bathroom I go to a stall that is unoccupied by a dead body, and pull down my jumpsuit like I am going to the bathroom.
I wait for at around 40 minutes, the good news is that I have heard any noise that would make it seem like Tibs got caught, So that must be a good thing. Someone walks into the bathroom and starts to use the urinal; I pull up my jumpsuit, flush the toilet, and walk out and start to wash my hands. I look to see it is just another average employee.
Someone else walks into the bathroom, it is a central control center employee, but with this other guy here, I can’t take a chance. The regular employee gets done doing his business and goes to wash his hands, meanwhile the Control Center Employee, starts to use one of the other urinals.
I continue to wash my hands, and the employee gets through and walks out, just as the Central Control Employee finishes his business, He starts to walk out without washing his hands, and the other employee has literally just left so the bathroom door is still somewhat open but it is closing. I speak up.
Ryden “Aren’t you going to wash your hands?â€
The Central Control Center Employee looks back at me a stares, like he is pissed off I said that and says “Yeah, your right.†And continues to go to the sink and wash his hands.
I can’t risk any blood being seen, at least when I stabbed the guy in the
-
I can’t risk any blood being seen, at least when I stabbed the guy in the skull he went right back in the stall, Tibs set him up nicely like he was taking a nice dumped, and locked the stall. He must have climbed out from under the stall.
I start drying of my hands when he gets done, He start to walk over to the paper towel dispenser, and I take the initiative to hand him a couple fresh ones.
“Thanks†he says and starts to dry off his hands, He turns his back to me to throw the paper towels away, when I immediately put him in a rear naked choke. He was not able to tuck his chin in time and I have a nice clean grip on his throat. He passes out in a matter of seconds. I snap his neck and pull him into the stall and start to change.
Someone walks in as my jumpsuit is down and I’m about to take the legs off. I quickly lift up the dead body and go into a sitting position on the toilet. I hear the guy start to use the urinal. I am being as quiet as I possibly can. I hear the guy flush the toilet, wash his hands, and walk out. I continue to take off my jumpsuit and put on his uniform. I take off his necklace, and see that it is some type of USB port. He must use this to log in to the computer; why else would they give him a USB port.
I complete my changing into his uniform and change him into mine. I continue to set him up like he is going to the bathroom and lock the stall then crawl out of the bottom. I wash my hands and walk out of the bathroom; hopefully Tibs is at one of the entry points.
I start to walk toward the Central Control Center and do not see Tibs in the front entry point. I casually walk to the near side of me and figured I would walk around it the long way, so if even if he is the last entry point I pass, there will be no suspicion. Tibs is not on the side entry point either, but I do notice he is at the rear entry point.
I walk up to the guards and show them my I.D. which is his. I hand it to Tibs, I then show them my USB Port and Tibs Pats me down and lets me through. I walk in to the Central Control Center.
-
HAPTER 9
CENTRAL CONTROL CENTER
I see about 30 chairs all with a computer and all seem to be connected to a larger computer. The computer monitor is on a wall probably about half the size of a Imax theater screen, still huge in its own right. The desks and chairs are angled where they can all see the main screen, and each row leads to a point in the middle of the room.
I noticed only 1 empty seat, and go sit down. I see a place to put a USB port in, right on the monitor, I put my USB port in there and the screen turns on. The computer looks like it went to sleep mode as there are a whole bunch of programs opened. I look at the computer and realize I can’t read a dam thing that is on here, Maybe Tibs and I should have switched roles. It’s too late now to go change, I casually look around to make sure no one is watching and pull out my USB port with the hacking software in it, and put it into a USB slot on the computer.
The first thing I do is locate the language hack, I open it up and it translates everything to English. Now I can do some work. I start looking at the programs that are already open, and sure enough there is one for monitoring all the nuclear weapons. Now my self-destruct and inactivate button are greyed out. I can’t click on them at all.
I open my USB Folder and start the hacking system. The program opens up and starts to locate all programs for hacking, A small window opens up showing the percentage of the hacking and projected time, It is going to take an hour for the hacking to be completed, If everything goes smoothly for the hacking software. I minimize the window and take off my language hack. I am now staring at a whole bunch of nonsense now, but at least my cover won’t be blown because the computer is in English.
The guy next to me looks and says “I can’t believe they have a nuclear bomb shelter holding nuclear bombs†he laughs
Ryden “When did you find this out?â€
The guy says “I just found out yesterday, It could just be a rumor though, you know how everything gets blown out of proportion here because they do not let us know anything.â€
Ryden “Yeah I know, why would they put are bombs in a nuclear bomb shelter.â€
The guy says “well you all know about the self-destruct button that is grayed out, well apparently If every nuclear weapon were to self-destruct, this facility would go on lockdown and can hold all the radiation and the explosions of every blast that is in here.
Ryden “Wow so they might just kill us all any day if they decide to destroy this program.â€
“No†he goes on “There is a 30 minute evacuation time period to get out of here.â€
Ryden “You really think they will let us live, This could never be leaked if they decided to abandon it, they would lock us in here and we would die with the blast.â€
“Nah, There have been people who have quit or moved on to a different jobâ€
I think to myself, and have you heard or seen anything from this people since there last day, but I let it go and say “Well that is good to know.â€
“Yeah it is.†He says and start to work on something on his computer, meanwhile, How is this guy not noticed I’m not the guy who is was sitting here before, I mean our build was similar and had the same color hair, but we look different, but we do have similarities as well.
For the next 30 minutes I stare into basically nothing, since I cannot read anything, I am constantly moving my mouse, maximizing and minimizing windows, and occasionally using the keyboard to type in who knows what into the system. I really hope Tibs is ok, I have not heard anything to assume he has gotten caught, but then again those two dead bodies have been taking a shit for over an hour now.
Tibs can take care of himself, I’m pretty sure he has been in just as a difficult situations, If not more difficult. About 45 minutes has passed and I do a stretch to do a casual look around to see if anyone is keeping an eye on me and quickly pop my hacking window and minimize it again. The bar shows it is about 75 percent of the way done. This is good because that means the projected hacking time is right on schedule. I just have to continue to act like I know what I am doing just a little bit longer.
The good news is, everyone seems to be keeping to themselves with the occasional small talk. No one is going over to other people’s computers to help them out or anything. Everyone just seems to be staying at their desks, monitoring away I guess. I didn’t keep the language hack on long enough to realize what I am actually supposed to be doing.
The last 15 minutes go by, and I see that that it is basically completed but still not 100 percent. I minimize quickly and figured I would give it 5 to 10 more minutes, but 30 seconds after I minimize it, it pops up showing that it is finished. I quickly turn back on my language hack. The self-destruct is now available to me. I press it only to have an 18 digit code that I must input to start the countdown. The hacking system starts going through each individual spot finding the correct key to put in. this is taking about 1 minute a space, which is fine cause in 20 minutes we will be good to go.
I minimize that window and turn off my language hack just in time while someone passes by my computer. He asks me a question “what have you been doing latelyâ€
Ryden “Just doing the same thing, different day, you know how it goes.†I never look back to actually talk to him, just turn my head slightly to acknowledge him, Did not want him to notice I was not the guy he is supposed to be talking to.
“I know the feeling†he says and continues to walk out of the central control center.
That was a close one 20 minutes go buy and I activate the language hack again. I pull up the self-destruct and notice it is on the last number. I minimize that window and start looking at the other software’s that are up, I can’t believe what I see. At least 3 nuclear weapons are pointed at each point of land, 3 on Australia, 3 on the U.S. and Canada, 2 on Mexico, 3 on South America, 3 on Western Europe, 4 on the islands (one for Ireland, one for Scotland, one on Greenland, and one on Iceland) 3 on Eastern Europe, 4 on China, 2 on Japan, and 5 on Russia alone.
I quickly pull up the self-destruct window, All 18 digits are locked in, I hit the self-destruct button, another prompt pops up, are you sure you want to self-destruct? I click yes. One more pops up, you will have 30 minutes to evacuate the premises, and then it will be completely locked down for self-destruction. Are you sure you want to self-destruct? I click yes.

CHAPTER 10
THE ESCAPE
“Warning, Total Lockdown in 10 minutes, please evacuate. Self-Destruction Initiated†Comes in very loud over, every intercom in the facility. It is Time to leave. I take my USB port out of the monitor.
“Self-Destruction Paused†Comes over the loud speakers. Are you serious, I have to keep the USB port plugged in in order for it to stay activated?
I put back in the USB port on the monitor; Meanwhile everybody is panicked and left the Central Control Center. As soon as the USB port is put back in the slot I hear the intercom “Self-Destruction continued. 29 minutes till lockdown.
I have a dilemma now, I have to make sure the USB port stays plugged into the monitor, but I have to escape. I open the door to look outside, and see people running around like a chicken with their head cut off trying to get to an exit point. I look around, and all the security guards for the Central Control Center are gone, Tibs is also nowhere to be found, I hope he stayed with the security guards and blended in, or found a way to escape.
I go back all the way in the room, as soon as I do someone enters from the other entry point. He has a gun in his hand, but is in a suit. Definitely not an agent, but probably a big wig for this project.
“Did you initiate the self-destruction†he says
“No.†I say, but I can tell he knows that I am lying, He starts walking over to me gun pointed at my head. I get on one knee and act like I am tying my shoe.
“Get up NOW!!!†He says
I slowly lift my pants leg up, and then I jump as far back as possible pull, the hand gun out of the holster and shoot him in the head. I land on my back and slide about 3 feet. I didn’t have time to hook up a silencer. I can only hope that gunshot doesn’t bring attention.
It is clear that I must hold here as long as possible before leaving. I turn back on my language hack, and start looking for software that controls the elevators for the entry and exit points. One of the entry points for the central control center is only about 200 yards away.
I keep searching and I find it in security software. I see that all platform elevators are timed and automatically lifted up and sent down, but I also notice that you can make all entry points exit points, and vice versa. I quickly click on the button that makes this entry point an exit point, and also click on the manual operations allowed so It may work with me when I get there.
I still have about 15 minutes to go. I open one the doors and see about 20 security guards coming this way. I shut the door and pull out my automatic handgun. I load the clip and take my clip belt, which was wrapped around my thigh off, and wrap it around my waist. There is no point in trying to stay undercover now; they know I’m not supposed to be in here.
I quickly throw a few desks over the other 3 entry points for the C.C.C. Just in case they have me surrounded, It will buy me a second or 2, or at least give me enough sound to know from what door they are coming from. I leave the one open; they can only come in one at a time, and if I am ready I can pick everyone off one by one. I take about 4 desks and make a little square and get in the middle so that way I can have a little cover on every side.
I have my gun pointed at the door that is not poorly barricaded and wait. The door is kicked open and I notice a special grenade is thrown.
I turn around and duck my head behind the desk cover my ears and eyes, as well as close my eyes. BANG a somewhat huge light goes and comes with my eyes closed, it was a flash. I give myself another second, and then open my eyes. My vision is not perfect but I can see well enough to see these guys. I turn and face the way there are facing, still completely covered from the desk and pull the trigger. As I pull the trigger below the desk, I start to rise to a standing position. I have about 6 taken out when my clip runs out.
I press a button that drops the clip and at the same time using my left hand to grab a clip from my belt and load it. I pull the trigger A little more controlled this clip, as of now I have the advantage. I hear a door to the left of start to open. I pick up my hand gun and have it aimed at the door and pull the trigger once. The desk held them off for a second, and that bullet is making them think, but next time they come in that door is going to fly open.
My other hand is still plugging away at the other door; there is probably another 10 dead. I shoot the last of the clip. Press the button and the clip falls out. One person comes to rush me from the complete open door and fires, I quick take my hand gun and aim it at the other door and fire, shot in the head.
I set my hand gun down and while I am putting in the clip for the automatic handgun, the other door flies open and they start to rush the center, I finishing loading the clip and come up with the trigger being pulled. I take out the first two who rushed and release the Trigger.
“3 Minutes till lockdown†comes over the intercom
I pick up my hand gun and hit the monitor of my computer with it so it will break; I then break off the part of the USB that is sticking out, so they just can’t pull it out. Another 3 guys Come in and I shoot one that started flanking left with my left hand, which had my Handgun, and took the other 2 out with the right hand, which had my automatic pistol.
“2 minutes till lockdown†comes over the intercomâ€
I reload both weapons and start running to the closest entry point, 200 yards away. This place basically looks abandoned, besides the dead bodies. I make it to the elevator.
“30 seconds till lockdown†Comes over the intercom.
The elevator start to rise, but it is going slow. The opening gets about to half my body when it starts going down again for lockdown. I slide out of the elevator and onto the snow. I’m outside now and get up on my feet and start running for my life.
I briefly turn back to see Employees running the opposite way in the distance. They look like ants now; they must have gone out at the exit points. I stop in my tracks after I have ran about 200 yards, no explosion, I look back and there isn’t a sound, no vibration on the ground, nothing. I start walking back toward the facility, and now I am starting to wonder about Tibs.
By now all the employees have vanished from my site, and even worse I could be walking back to an explosion that is waiting to happen.
I look in every direction for any sight of life and there is none. I start looking for tracks on this side in the snow. I walk around in a small circle and make my circle bigger with each pass. I finally find some tracks after my 8th pass. They are headed south of the facility. I have no clue who these tracks are from, but there is only one way to find out.
I take one last look around, the fact that it hasn’t self-destructed yet is really bothering me. I am about 150 yards away, so I start walking back and figure I will follow the tracks after I make sure nobody found a way to stop the self-destruction sequence. I get to about 100 yards away when I start to feel a vibration on the ground. It starts to self-destruct. I turn around and start to run. I vaguely open my eyes; I am on the ground covered in snow. My eyes shut again, for what I believe will be the last time. I can’t feel the cold, and I am doing everything I can to hold my eyes open to survive, but all they want to do is shut like I haven’t been to sleep in a week.
I go in and out of consciousness for… I don’t know how long, at one point I open my eyes, and realize I am in the back seat of a vehicle, my eyes shut again. I open my eyes again, this time I am a little more coherent and noticed the vehicle has stopped. I try to look around, but whatever happened to me in that blast has me in tranquilized and I go unconscious again.
-
CHAPTER 11
REVELATION
I open my eyes, restrained and still pitch black, don’t know how big the room is, I struggle to get my hands free, but the rope just slips a bit and stay strong. I keep trying to think of where I am but my mind is blank. I have no memory of my past and no memory of how I arrived here. I am stuck in a room that I don’t know the dimensions of.
About 10 minutes go by and I start to here steps, at least two people walking, the steps are getting louder and louder. A door opens, still pitch black with no light what so ever, they walk in and shut the door. There Is silence, the walking has stopped, I’m assuming there standing right in front of me. Whatever is about to happen, I am completely out of the loop.
WE WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING†a strong low voice says on my left side
Everything about what?†I say very softly but confident showing no fear in my voice
EVERYTHING†he screams “You know what is going on and we need answersâ€
“Where am I?†I say softly and confident
“The place where you will stay until we have all the information we need from you†this voice is a little more friendly and coming from my right side, but now something is starting to happen to me, my brain is moving a million miles a minute, and all of a sudden……………
The voice from my left side speaks “Great, after looking through his entire memory, we still have no clue where Tiberius is. He was a complete waste of time.
Voice from the right “Not entirely, we have no clue where he is, but we do know what he was last wearing when he escaped.â€
I speak up “what did you do to me?†I say softly, I am a little weak at the moment “Who am I, Where have you brought me?â€
Voice from the right “We gave you a pill while you were unconscious to activate your memories over your past mission, by doing that we connected you with a device that projected everything from you point of view, We were looking for a missing agent, Tiberius.â€
“Who is Tiberius, and what mission, I have never been on a mission, I don’t even know who I am.â€
Voice from the left “Your regular memory will come back in a few hours, and the mission is not important.â€
“I want to know who I am.â€
Voice from the left “he is useless to us now, let’s just kill him.â€
“Kill me?†Speaking with a little more strength now “I haven’t done anythingâ€
Voice from the left, raising his voice with every couple of words “You and Tiberius completely destroyed a nuclear plant that would leave the world hostage. You two SINGLE HANDEDLY DESTROYED WHAT MY BOSS HAS BEEN DEVELOPING FOR YEARS!!!â€
“What are you talking about?†I say
Voice from the right “He doesn’t remember anything, we have been trying to figure out how they have complete wipe memories after the mission, but he honestly does not remember a thing from the mission.â€
The two people walk out of the completely pitch black room, opens a door that lead to a pitch black hallway, and then the door shuts and I am all alone again. I am restrained and have no way escaping at the present time.
Rather than crying over spilt milk, I decide to rest and close my eyes, I do not know how long I am asleep for when I hear a big bang coming from behind me. A rush of light enters the room and hurts my eyes. I keep the closed and start squinting little by little until my pupils can get full adjusted. I feel a knife cut the rope that was tying my hands, and then cut the rope that was tied to my body to keep me in the chair.
“We got to go buddy†Says a voice behind me
I am still squinting but my pupils are starting to adjust, I stand up and turn around and realized I do not recognize the man at all. “Who are you?†I say
“It’s your boy, Tibs coming to save the day since you decided to lie around in the snow like a dumbass and get caught.
“Tibs, I have no clue who you are†He grabs my hand and starts running me out, “Stop man, where are you taking me†I hear sounds from about and notice a helicopter, I see a rope dangling as the helicopter is about 40 feet in the air.
“Take this†Tibs says and hands me a pill, I look at him awfully funny then he says “Who would you rather trust, 2 guys that have you locked up in a pitch black room, or the person bailing your ass out.â€
True enough I think to myself, I grab the pill and put in my mouth and swallow, I grab the rope with Tibs and the rope mechanism starts to real us in. Once we get close enough Tibs pulls himself up and then helps me up and sits me down on a seat. Tibs sits down right across from me and just seems like he is waiting as the helicopter goes to elevate.
Something whizzes by the helicopter and I look down, It seems to be the two guys holding me captive, and one of them had a RPG launcher. Luckily it just missed the helicopter and we start to fly off.
Tibs “Man, I’m Tired of all this cold shit, I’ freezingâ€
Ryden “Thank you, but who are you, and who am I? Why would you risk your life to save me? You call us buddies but I have never met you before in my life.â€
Tibs “Look I will explain everything in 5 minutes, just give the pill about 5 more minutes to kick in, then you will understand everything.â€
Ryden “Where are we headed?â€
Tibs looks at me “stand up real quick.†I stand up, and he starts patting me down and then starts feeling every little piece of my clothing and doesn’t find what he is looking for apparently. “Take off your shoes†I take off my shoes and he looks at them real hard, apparently he found what was looking for. “There you are, you little shit.†He takes this small square thing and throws it out of the helicopter.â€
Ryden “What was that?â€
Tibs “A GPS that was placed on you and also there was a microphone so they could pick up whatever we were sayingâ€
We continue to fly, but I have no clue where we are going.
Ryden “So we are we going.â€
Tibs “Just wait my man, once the pill kicks in I’ll explain everything, I do not want to explain twice, because it is a long ass story.â€
Ryden “What is this pill going to do.â€
Tibs “man just chill, give it about another minute.â€
It doesn’t even take that long, all of a sudden my head has a loud ring that seems to be just getting louder and louder, I put my hands around my ears but it doesn’t help, it is getting unbearable, the pressure is about to explode in my head and then……….Complete silence.
Ryden “What in the hell just happened to me? Who were the two people that shot at us.â€
Tibs “It was Ken and Chris
Ryden “Are you serious, we have been dealing with double agents.â€
Tibs “They were never Agents to begin with; we are dealing with a Code Medusa.â€
Ryden “Someone infiltrated our system, How is that possible, Wait real quick how long is the pill you gave me good for and what did it activate?â€
Tibs “You have got 7 days, it should have activated every little piece of training, oh here is a few more of them as well.â€
Ryden “How did you get all these and how did you get them to activate all training, that never happens.â€
Tibs “Well I have been requesting extra time on missions I didn’t need extra time with, and said I required extra training to be activated, so they had no clue what skill I needed activated as I didn’t know either because anything that isn’t activated I have no clue that I know about. So I tell them on 3 or 4 week missions I need an extra 7 days and extra training to be activated, Get the pill put up in a hiding spot at my house where I will know to look once my memory is activated. I never needed the extra time, Just wanted extra pills just in case something like this ever happened.â€
Ryden “Maaannnn, why didn’t I think of that??!! I was too worried about doing a perfect mission every single time, and being perfect at everything I do.â€
Tibs “I know mister awards for everything, didn’t they activate your memory one time just to accept an award?â€
Ryden “They did hahaha!! Those were the days, so how in the hell did KEN and CHRIS infiltrate us, and how did they know where the base was.â€
Tibs “That is the part I
-
Tibs “That is the part I don’t know, they were already there when I got there, and they acted just like one of us, Chris was being a dick like he was to you, but Ken was chill as hell, volunteering information to me. They somehow infiltrated our system, and even worst I believe they know where headquarters are at. When I was on my way out with the other guards, I seen them two and overheard them saying it is on some master mobile computer, and the main person is never in the same place for long, but the last thing I heard them say before they were out of my hearing zone is they think they found a pattern and believe they are going to be able to figure out the person’s next location.â€
Ryden “What about the person he was supposedly training to take over, what is the deal with him?â€
Tibs “He is legit, I did 1 mission with him that required help, He was great and I could tell he really loved doing this secret agent shit, He was one of the few that stayed on when they implemented the pill protocol program.â€
Ryden “Well that makes sense, if he stayed then he would definitely be trust worthy, I wonder if we can find anything on Ken and Chris, where they one of the many that left once the pill protocol was implemented?â€
Tibs “There you go, being an investigative genius again. I am not sure but there is only one way to find out.â€
We then say in unison “Talk to the guy running the agencyâ€
Ryden “Is that where we are headed?â€
Tibs “Well first we are going to meet with the guy who is being trained to take over, then after him as long as he sees no problem with us, he will take us to him.â€

CHAPTER 12
COMPLICATIONS
I open my eyes and noticed that Tibs is sleeping, I must of have fell asleep for a while myself, I talk to the pilots “How long have we been in the air for?â€
Captain “About 4 Hours We are somewhere over Alaska right now.â€
First Officer “We have to stop for fuel pretty soon, so we are headed to a base in a remote location to fuel up, and then we will be on our way.â€
Ryden “Well that sounds like a plan. Where is this guy at that we are meeting?â€
Captain “We honestly do not know, once we get to Greenland, we are supposed to make contact with him, and then he will give us exact coordinates.â€
Ryden “How long as my friend been knocked out for?â€
First Officer “Just a couple of hours, you crashed way before he did.â€
Ryden “So how much longer do we have before we get there?â€
Captain “Probably about 30 minutes.â€
Ryden “Cool well I am going to go relax for a little longer.â€
I put my seatbelt back on and shut my eyes.
Captain “MAYDAY, MAYDAY!!! WE ARE GOING DOWN!! WE’VE BEEN HIT MAYDAY, MAYDAY!!!!
I open my eyes, we are in a tail spin and going down fast, I make sure I am strapped up as much as possible. I look at Tibs, he is actually smiling, doesn’t surprise me, nothing has gone right so far, why start now. I smirk a little myself and we make eye contact with each other as if to say this is never going to end.
The Helicopter hits the ground hard, with the front right side taking most of the impact; the top propellers hit the ground cutting through it but also lifting up the helicopter a little bit causing the already rough landing to be just a little, a lot rougher. The helicopter finally lands on its side, and leaves me and Tibs hanging. I look at the pilots and they are dead.
Tibs “Lets unstrap ourselves and get moving.â€
We unstrap ourselves and fall about 3 feet to the ground, we then climb out of the helicopter and look around. We see a vehicle starting to come our way.
Tibs and I have minor bleeding, nothing real serious, but enough to act like it.
Ryden “Tibs Lets take a few steps then collapse on the ground like we are dead.â€
Tibs “They are going to kill us.â€
Ryden “Trust me.â€
Despite Tibs rebuttal, we have no time to argue show he takes a few steps and collapses and I take another 10 steps then I collapse myself. It takes about 2 minutes for the vehicle to arrive at our location but it stops right next to us, and 1 man gets out of the car. I fell on my back so I can see what is going on, Tibs on the other hand, fell face first in the snow like a dumbass.
I hear a gun cock, Right at that second I spring into action and throw my leg up and kick the gun, It fires into the air. I spring up and punch the guy in the face.
Ryden “TIBS, MOVE!!! GET THE GUN!!!!!!â€
Tibs swiftly gets to his feet and sees the gun he runs after it. I go for another punch but he dodges it, as he dodge my punch he turns his back to me and grabs the arm I threw my punch with, and pulls my shoulder out of its socket as he throws me over his back shoulder and I summersault onto the ground hitting it hard.
The person Quick goes to grab the gun. Tibs dives for it but the guys is right there as well, I look back at the truck to notice 2 people getting out on the side that would have cover for them if we shot at them.
Ryden “SHOOT THE TANK OF THE TRUCK, THERE ARE MORE OF THEM!!!!â€
Tibs Is battling with the person on with the gun, although he cannot point it at him, he does manage to point in the general direction of the truck and starts blasting away, 5 bullets go buy and nothing, I hear another 3 go off and then an explosion occurs. We all were close enough to the blast that it threw us back on the ground.
I quickly get back on my feet, to see Tibs on the bottom and this guy on the top, and somehow this guy has gotten a hold of a 12 inch knife and is on the verge of putting threw Tibs throat. I look around and see the gun; I run to and grab it. The guy is so focused on killing Tibs, He doesn’t even notice me, I pick up the gun pull the trigger and the bullet goes through his skull.
Ryden “Tibs, you ok?â€
Tibs “THROW ME THE GUN!!!
Without hesitation I throw him the gun, “DUCK!!!†He says and I fall to the ground while he pulls the trigger. I look back to see a dead guy falling to the ground.
Tibs “Are you alright†he says with a little chuckle
Ryden “Yeah, how about you?â€
Tibs “yeah, another second or so and he would have had me, the point nicked the surface of my throat, so a little blood dripping, but nothing serious. What do we do now?â€
Ryden “Well since somebody blue up the truck, let’s start walkingâ€
Tibs “YOU TOLD ME TO BLOW UP THE TRUCK, NOW WE HAVE TO WALK FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG!!!! AND IT IS FREEEEEEZZZINNG!!!
I pull my phone out of my pocket, but there is no signal. “Let’s go back to the helicopter†I say and with that we start walking back to the helicopter.
Now the helicopter never exploded and whatever projectile hit the helicopter, hit only the tail of it. We look around to see if we can find anything and to our surprise the First Officer was alive, barley alive, but alive none the less.
I hear the First Officer Moan
Ryden “Hey buddy, you’re going to be alright.â€
First Office “Yeah (coughs up blood) I have a propeller through my stomach and I’m going to be alright.â€
Ryden “Ok, so you going to die, are you coherent enough to tell me approximately where the base isâ€
First Officer “(coughs up more blood) About another 20 miles (Coughs up blood) southeast of here.â€
Ryden “Do you want me to try to get you out in one piece? What do you want me to do?â€
First Officer “Just leave me be, hand me my pistol if you can find it.â€
I look for the for his pistol and find it, and put it in his hand, he doesn’t even have the strength to hold it, I notice a picture kind of hanging out of his pocket, I pull it out, and it is a picture of his family. I place it where he can clearly see it for his final moments.
First Officer “Thank you (coughs) you need to go, after so long when they don’t return they, will come looking for you.â€
Ryden “Do you want me to to…….â€
First Officer “No….I just want to spend (coughs up blood) the last few minutes I have in peace.â€
Ryden “Ok, you’re a brave man; watch over me from the heavens.â€
First Officer “I willâ€
I walk over to Tibs “This is bullshit, that is the last person that dies on my watch, let’s start walking.â€
Tibs “Are you alright?â€
Ryden “NO!!! I am not alright, that person had a wife a kids, and still did this secret agent shit!! If I die, I have no wife and no kids, just a couple of girls I fool around with, so no one will remember me. This person left behind an entire family, one of the kids looked like he will never know his father because of how young he was. I am going to kill them all. Let’s get moving.â€
Tibs looks a little shocked, as he has never seen me like this “Which way?†he says
Ryden “Whichever way is fucking southeast.†I look up at the sun which seems to be setting, so I start the opposite way of the sun, and position myself so the sun is at my 7 in a 12 number clock, and I start walking.
I briefly look back to notice Tibs catching up, not running, but walking just a little faster than me, so he will gradually be at my side. For once this is not the time to cut up and joke about the freezing cold, and when I looked back I seen an entirely different look on Tibs face. He doesn’t care about the cold anymore; he just cares about righting the wrong.
In Alaska, when the sun goes down, it doesn’t just go down for 8-12 hours, it could go down for days at a time, and then again the sun can be up for days at a time as well. It is going to be a really cold night, and a really long night.
Tibs “How far do we have to walk?â€
Ryden “20 miles; give or take.â€
Tibs “Cool, I hate to say this, but I really hope it snows soon.â€
Ryden “Why is that?â€
Tibs “To cover our tracks, just in case anyone comes looking.â€
-
Ryden “You are a smart man, let’s hustle up and get to this base, walking like this, In this weather, with the snow we are walking in, probably take about 30 minutes a mile. 20 miles is 600 minutes which is about 10 hours. We need to stay moving to keep our blood flowing, so whatever you do, do not stop.â€
Tibs “Let’s get to it.â€
-
CHAPTER 13
SURVIVING THE NIGHT
It’s been about 3 hours, it has started to snow, and it is well below 0. I believe we have been making good time, as most of the snow has been hard, allowing us to actually walk on it, instead of our legs sinking 3 feet into the ground every time we take a step. My teeth should be shattering but there not. I am so pissed off about the first officer that my adrenaline is still pumping and keeping me warm. The fact that he didn’t want me just to end his suffering, I don’t understand, But when I seen him look at his picture of his family, I never seen a dying man smile as bright and wide as he did. Thinking of this has just infuriated me even more with a passion to get whoever did this.
I look over a Tibs, I actually smirk a little to see him chattering away, for as I know he will not complain to me, I know In his mind he is thinking “This is Bullshit, I don’t care if I’m stranded, I will be stranded anywhere, it doesn’t bother me, but in all places, I am stranded in one of the closest places in the world, This is Bullshit, bullshit.â€
I look over at Tibs just to see how he is doing, and I notice he is slacking and slowing down.
Ryden “TIBS!!!â€
Tibs “(teeth chattering) Ryyyyy.â€
Ryden “Talk to me Tibs, are you ok?â€
Tibs “Just Peachy.â€
For Once, since the helicopter incident, I crack up. I laugh loud and hard. Just that one comment brought so much joy to my heart and warmed my body just a little bit. Tibs who I could tell tried to laugh just went back to teeth chattering, he is way too cold to laugh at the moment.
Tibs “How are you not freezing your ass off?â€
Ryden “Well, to be honest, I have been so pissed off about the helicopter pilot that I haven’t been able to think about the weather. Your last comment though, made all my anger go away, just the sarcasm in your voice and the way you said it Tibs. That is one thing about you, no matter how pissed I am, you can always make me laugh.â€
Tibs “I just thought of something.â€
Ryden “What is that?â€
Tibs “What if it really isn’t 20 miles, what if it is 30, 50, 100 miles, or even worst, what if he told us the wrong direction completely.â€
Ryden “(I get very serious) Tibs, we can’t think like that. If we think like that we are dead. We have to assume that it is 20 miles or even closer than that. Think positive; keep your mind thinking we will be out of this in no time. I am doing everything to avoid hypothermia and we have to keep moving no matter what. If we stop moving we are dead. I PROMISE, WE WILL GET OUT OF THIS ALIVE!!!â€
For once, I can’t believe the own words coming out of my mouth. Every other time I have I said that, there wasn’t a doubt in my mind it was true. I remember Tibs and I first mission together like it was yesterday.
We were somewhere in Thailand, In the jungle, dealing with a huge cartel dealing illegal drugs and bringing them into the U.S. Normally the agency doesn’t mess with petty stuff like this, although it is not petty for the united states, anything dealing with drugs is considered petty for the agency, but there was something special about this. I had just met Tibs in the Jungle when we hooked up. I was crawling around in my guile suit and he crawled right up next to me.
Tibs “You must be Ryden Eden, Agent 091.
Ryden “Who are you?â€
Tibs “Your lucky I am not a threat to you, otherwise you would have been dead.â€
Ryden “Your talking about how you zigged zagged for a mile in attempt to try to sneak up on me, If I would have thought you were a threat, I would have put a bullet through your head a long time ago.â€
Tibs “Touché, my playa, touché. I am Tiberius Agent 090â€
Ryden “Yeah your tactics looked to familiar, I know you can’t see my face and our minds only get activated every so often, but we went through training together, Me and you were tied for first place in top of the class.
Tibs “Oh That Ryden, What up brother, do you know why in the hell we are on a drug mission, this is complete nonsense compared to the stuff we should be doing.â€
Ryden “I know, there has to be something more to it. It doesn’t make sense for them to send us on a drug bust, regular C.I.A., D.E.A., or some drug trafficking agency should be taking care of this.â€
Tibs “At least we are in nice warm weather, instead of the bullshit freezing temperatures they sent me on the last mission, it was below 0 my whole mission. You know in my profile, I specifically stated I was allergic to cold weather, and would gladly do more missions in warm weather environments, to make up for any cold weather missions they diverted me from.â€
I can’t help but laugh and say while laughing “Allergic to the cold??!! ( I chuckle) Did you really think they were going to believe that.â€
Tibs “Well it was worth a shot. (Chuckles a little) I thought it worked to, until the last mission, the bastardsâ€
We both crack up and start to crawl to our scouting point. This was the first time in any mission that I was actually able to be relaxed enough to laugh in the middle of almost being killed, but this mission was much more serious, once we got to the scouting point we knew why.
We took or 50 caliber sniper rifles, with our High resolution scopes and starting scoping the place out, only to have our jaws drop at what we seen.
Tibs “There is no way, It can’t be possible.â€
Now in hindsight, this was not nothing compared to some of the missions we accomplished throughout the years, but at the time we were still rookies and what we seen at the time was the first of its kind, at least in our eyes.
Ryden “They have Missiles for days, everywhere. Tiberius, do you see any nukes.â€
Tibs “No But I do see a lot of M.O.W.D.s. By the way, my true friends call me Tibs.â€
To this day I do not know any other person in the world that has called him Tibs but me. I consider it such a tremendous honor to be able to call him that every time I see him, and he has gained more trust in me for that one statement, then he ever could have by doing anything else. He will call me Ry from time to time, but every other person who has tried to do that I have corrected them, but never Tibs.
Ryden “Tibs, we have to figure out a way to know where every missile is, I mean we can destroy the surface, but there could be a lot more in another place, or maybe even in an underground facility.â€
Tibs “Ryden, got a question for you?â€
Ryden “What’s up?â€
Tibs “As anyone ever tried to catch Ryden Ridin dirty?â€
Ryden “(I start busting a gut laughing) Well no one has ever caught Ryden Ridin dirty, I will tell you that much.â€
We both crack up, and I knew right then and there, that we had a friendship bound to last a lifetime.
Tibs “So any plans how to infiltrate this place, I would say let’s just guile suit around, but it turns to dirt roads, and we would stick out worse than two white boys in the army.â€
Ryden “Great idea Tibs lets lure two of these guards over here and take their uniforms. We can put a lot of mud on our face and hands to cover up our ethnicity.â€
Tibs “You really got that idea of that statement.â€
Ryden “Yeah.â€
Tibs “I said it as a joke, and you created a master plan off of one joking statement, well there you go.â€
Ryden “There I go what?â€
Tibs “Playing genius.â€
My memory of our first mission is paused as I look back to see Tibs who has fell to his knees.
Ryden “Tibs, get up, you have to stay moving.â€
Tibs “I can’t go any farther Ryden, I am sorry, just let me go.â€
Ryden “Damn it Tibs, If you die, I’ll be damned if you die in the one thing that you hate more than anything in the world, the freezing cold weather. Wait till we have a mission on the beach in Cancun, I will let your ass die there all day, every day, but not here and not now.â€
Tibs “Your right, I rather die in Cancun.†Tibs stands up and takes 2 steps and then collapses in the snow.
Ryden “TIIIIBBBSS!!!!!!!!†I rush over to him, Take of the jacket I have one and put it on him; I pick him up and put him
-
Ryden “TIIIIBBBSS!!!!!!!!†I rush over to him, Take of the jacket I have one and put it on him; I pick him up and put him over my shoulder. “I promise I will get you out of her Tibs, even if it kills me to do it.â€
As I am walking with him on shoulder I start to remember another part of the first mission we were on.â€
Tibs “If we plant the C4’s here, it should set of a chain reaction, destroying their entire operation. Hopefully every last one of them as well. This is the true center point of all the missiles, and every other place where missiles are, are close enough to set up the chain reaction.â€
Ryden “Alright Mr. Pyro, lets plant them and get out of here, this mud on me is starting to bother the hell out of me.â€
Tibs “Was it, or was it not your idea to lure the two guys over and steal their uniforms and put a little mud on us to cover our ethnicity.â€
Ryden “It was, and a damn good one to, if I don’t say so myself.â€
Tibs “Then why you complaining about the mud like a little bitch.â€
Ryden “(I laugh) Oh yeah then why did someone put I am allergic to the cold in there profile like a little bitch.â€
Tibs “Touché, my friend, touché. There planted, let’s get out of here before we get caught.â€
Just as we are starting to walk out the door bust open with guns a blazing, although not smart, we go behind some of the missiles for cover.
Ryden “How much ammo you got, and weapons?â€
Tibs “I got two automatic pistols, two submachine guns, and two regular pistols strapped to my legs. You?â€
Ryden “Basically the same thing, with the exception of one special weapon.â€
Tibs “And what might that be?â€
Ryden “This!†I pull out a 50 caliber Desert Eagle Action Express hand gun and blast 2 rounds which goes through ten peoples skull. “Let’s go.â€
Tibs “I have got to get me one of thoseâ€
He quickly follows behind me and we start to move as fast as we can to get out of there, we have 2 stair wells we have to fly threw, it is the only way out, and I know that they will be coming at us quickly, especially with the gunshots that just got done being blasted. We get through the first stairwell as fast as possible, and then start moving through the hallway to the second flight of stairs. As quickly as we are moving, I make a dumb mistake and turn the corner without even thinking about checking to see if anyone is there first. I get hit in four times, once in my leg, once in the side of my rib cage, and twice in my right chest area. Tibs quickly pulls me to back so I have some cover.
Ryden “Take this (I pull out the detonator) Get out of here and detonate this place to smithereens.â€
Tibs “I am not leaving you.â€
Ryden “I am dead weight, It’s ok, I was stupid, I made the mistake. Please I can’t have your life on your hands for trying to save me.â€
Tibs “I can save y….â€
Ryden “LEAVE ME BE AND GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!!! Here take my Desert Eagle.â€
Tibs “Thank you.â€
Ryden “Just go.â€
I hear the gun shots of my Desert Eagle go off. 3 rounds go off, and no more gunshots are heard. I hear Tibs footsteps run off into the distance and start vaguely hear his footsteps disappear as he starts up the stairs. I start to lose concinnous when I hear a huge explosion just above the stairwell. Mr. Pyro must have just destroyed a small fraction with a little explosion that he has worked up. No matter the end is near for me. I start to let myself go off into a sleep when I hear footsteps coming toward me, sprinting toward me hard.
Tibs “I’ll be Damned if you die on my watch.†He picks me up and puts me over his shoulder. I then lose concinnous as he is running me up the stairs from the pain of 4 bullet wounds bouncing up down his should on the stairs.
When my eyes open, I am leaning against a tree, watching a fire that can go on as far as my eyes can see.
Tibs “About time you woke up, none of the bullets it any vital organs, although they did puncture a lung. No worries though, I have re-inflated your lung and have them on their way to pick us up.â€
Ryden “Are you smoking a Cigar?†I say pretty weakly
Tibs “Ry, I come back for you, put you on my shoulder, save you from certain death, and the first words out of your mouth to me is are you smoking a cigar†We both crack up, well I try to laugh but the pain from the gunshot wounds stops me from laughing to hard. “I have another one just for you buddy.â€
Tibs hands me a cigar, pulls out his zippo lighter and lights it. I start puffing way and start to relax. We look at each other so seriously, and then just bust out laughing again for no reason. Again, I not so much since the gunshot wounds hinder my laughing because of the pain.
Ryden “Tibs, you saved my life. I promise one day I will pay you back.â€
Tibs “Just a thanks is payback enough. That is what true friends do for each other.â€
Ryden “Indeed, my friend, indeed.â€
I have never forgotten that day, and I knew the day would come where I would pay him back. I have been walking for hours now with Tibs on back and even stopped to give him an extra layer of clothing besides my jacket that I had already put on him. I finally see something in the distance, but with nothing but a very light windbreaker on me and now the snow pouring harder than ever, my teeth have been chattering for the last 2 hours.
With the last bit of strength I have I take two more steps and fall to the ground. I remember Tibs was the last one with the gun, I check him for it and sure enough there it is. I take it out and aim as best I can at the building. I fire once and I think I hit it. I take aim and fire again, hoping I hit something so that someone comes and starts looking to see what it was. I take aim and pull the trigger but the clip is empty.
With the last breathe I have I say “I’m Sorry Tibs, I’m Sorry.†And with that my eyes close for what I believe is the last time.
-
Wow... :horns up :clapping:
that was awesome
-
Its not over tibs still write a ways to go but I'm taking a little more tone to draw the story line together fir an ending that Wii sure to impress. Sorry it us taking a little longer between chapters
-
totally worth the wait. :horns up
-
I really wanted the reader to know the special relationship these two had abs felt this was a perfect chapter to do it in. I mean 10 pages of just walling in the snow would have been pretty hard to fill all that show there was nothing like a flash back memory for the reader to understand why these two are unique, yes they where also in the same training class that the reader learned in the beginning but this really shows the connection these two have. With every book you typically have a boring chapter or two just to progress the story line but I figured there was a way to progress the story line tell the back story and keep it exciting
-
CHAPTER 14
ALIVE AND WELL
I open my eyes and look around. I’m in a bed covered in many blankets near a fire place. I look to the right and notice Tibs sleeping on the chair next to me. I try to sit up, but someone comes in and stops me.
“Relax; you’re in a safe place, warm yourself. You know you almost died twice, once because of the frozen tundra you were walking through, and once because you shot the glass out our window and we were about to kill you. Once we realized both of you were practically dead, we decided to check your bodies before we put a bullet through your head and noticed you were one of us, so we started nursing you back to health.†He said
Ryden “How is he doing?â€
“Tiberius?†He continues “He was in better shape than you, (chuckles) you saved his life, without your layers of clothing, he would have died out there. You know he has not left your side since he awoke. I tried to feed him, give him water and he would not take it until you woke up. You guys must have some kind of bond that is very hard to find these days.â€
Ryden “He’s my lover.â€
Tibs opens his eyes starting to wake up and says “The fuck I am.â€
We all three enjoy a good laugh
Ryden “Nah, but let’s just say we have been through hell and back and the only way we could have survived is by relying on each other. What is your name?â€
He says “Well my name is Arthur, but everyone calls me Artorius which is the medieval version of Arthur.â€
Tibs “Well Artorius, Let’s eat because I am starving and I’m sure my “Lover Boy†here would like some food as well.â€
Artorius “Not a problem, the food is already ready I will bring it to the both of you.â€
Ryden “You are not our butler, we will get up and get it ourselves.â€
Artorius “No, it is fine, I insist. You guys need your rest to recover.â€
So Artorius goes and comes back with 2 plates covered with food, Each has a 20 ounce steak, Full loaded bake potato, Fresh Green Broccoli, and also has a bowl with salad and brings us a few dressings to choose from. We start to eat and there was something kind of itching at my brain that I had to ask Artorius.
Ryden “Artorius, this food is so amazing, cooked to perfection, I have a quick question for you though.â€
Artorius “Go Right ahead.â€
Ryden “You said earlier that WE started nursing you back to health. I see no one here but me, you, and Tibs, who else is here with us?â€
Artorius “Well at the time, we had someone else here, Blade, but he went home already and won’t be back for 2 weeks, we have a 4 weeks shift change here, so It is I, Blade, and another guy, Flame, That runs this post.â€
Ryden “You guys love your nicknames don’t you; I’m assuming that isn’t there biological names.â€
Artorius “That is right, we all have been going by Nicknames since we got here, I believe I am the only person who introduced myself with my biological name, Arthur, Everyone else has been so secretive, but that is why they call me Artorius.â€
Ryden “Well doesn’t hurt to be too safe.â€
Tibs and I enjoy the feast that was cooked for us, I personally always have my guard a little up, we continue to have a conversation enjoying jokes and laughter, but we all know that is soon about to end, and sure enough a little while after we have eaten, my phone rings.
Ryden “Agent 091 Ryden Edenâ€
“Transportation will be on its way to get you to your final destination within 30 minutes†The voice on the other side of the phone says and then hangs up.
I take my phone and put it back in my pocket, get all the blankets off of me and stand. I look over to Tibs and say “Get ready, we are about to roll out.â€
Tibs “Oh Yeeeeaaaa, Another form of transportation to get shot down and destroyedâ€
Ryden “I think we will be ok Tibs, I think they would have found us by now if they were on our trail.â€
Artorius “You are perfectly safe. Do you guys need anything before you guys head out.â€
Tibs “Yes, layers and LAYERS and layers of clothes please.â€
Artorius “I will get them for you.â€
With that Artorius goes into another room and when comes back he has multiple layers of warm clothing for both of us. Tibs and I put them on and then put these monstrous snow jackets and snow pants on to help keep us warm.
Sure enough about 30 minutes go by and we hear the sounds of a helicopter coming in to get us.
Artorius “Well it was nice to meet you guys, Good luck on your journey, hopefully the last of issues have passed.â€
Tibs and I look at each other and then look at Artorius and together say “Naaahh†and all 3 of us enjoy a good laugh.
The helicopter lands and we hop on give a quick wave to Artorius and head start rise up and fly away.
I look at the pilots and say “We still headed to Greenland first?â€
Captain “No, we believe that position has been compromised we are headed somewhere else.â€
Tibs “Where to?â€
Captain “Can’t Say.â€
Tibs and Ryden together “Figures.â€
Tibs and I for some odd reason start making the craziest faces at each other to lighten the mood. We were both trying not to laugh as the first one who laughed lost. I reversed my eyelids and stuck my tongue on my nose. He then proceeds to pull his lips out as far as he can stick his tongue and due this weird thing with his eyes where they bulge out. I quickly counter with putting my shoe in my mouth (yeah I’m flexible like that).
Without skipping a beat Tibs says “I can do that to!!†and he goes to put his foot in his mouth but he just can’t quite do it. He is starting to get pissed at the fact he can’t do it and I burst out into laughter at which point he proclaims “YOU LOSE YOU LOSE!!!†and he starts laughing as well.
We decide just to chill out and I take my phone out and start playing music from it. I did manage to cop a pair of headphones before we left.
When I listen to music I literally zone out. I lose track of time, distance I have gone, minutes are hours once I put on these headphones. Sure enough no sooner than I have seemed to put them on, is when we start to land. I’m pretty sure hours have gone by but It definitely doesn’t seem like it to me.
The helicopter lands, it seems a little warmer then where we left at, but still pretty cold none the less. I noticed we are at a small isolated airport, and it is very peculiar Jet that seems a little big for the airport. I look to the captain and ask “Where are we?â€
Captain “Somewhere in Canada.†He continues “Go ahead and go get on that jet, it will take to where you need to go.â€
With that Tibs and I get of the helicopter and walk over to the jet. Once we get to the jet the pilots open the door and say “Go wheel that boarding ladder over here and get on.†We go get the boarding ladder and roll it up to the door and get on the plane. Once we get on the plane the Captain pushes the ladder out a little show he can shut the door. He starts the engine and starts to head to the runway. The cockpit door is still open so I get out of my seat and proceed to the cockpit to ask the captain a question.
Ryden “This runway is a little short for this big of an aircraft, you sure you’re going to be able to take off, how did you even land this plane here.â€
Captain “Well you know how on the Navy ships they have them cables to stop the plain from going off because there runway is obviously too short to come to a short stop†I nod my head “Well we have a similar hook up here and this runway does have them cables for us to catch and slow us down so that way we were able to land safe and sound.
Ryden “What about the takeoff?â€
Captain “This plane does not have anything on it besides us, it is super light. We will do a static take off and be up in the air with some runway to spare.â€
With my questions answered I go and sit back next to Tibs. Knowing that they would not tell us where we were headed, I didn’t even ask. I sit back in the nice plush seat push the button for the seat to recline and start to hear the engines go to full power with the brakes still on. Once the engine have reach full powe

With my questions answered I go and sit back next to Tibs. Knowing that they would not tell us where we were headed, I didn’t even ask. I sit back in the nice plush seat push the button for the seat to recline and start to hear the engines go to full power with the brakes still on. Once the engine have reach full power he releases the brakes abruptly have the plane accelerate at a powerful level, sure enough we takeoff just fine and start to rise to cruising altitude.
Tibs looks over to me and as serious as he can be, which I know he is serious as he can be, asks “Do you think we going to a colder place then we were at? If we are this is bullshit, I specifically put on my profile I am allergic to cold weather.â€
I laugh and then say “Put on your headphones and relax man, we will find out soon enough.â€

I really wanted the reader to know the special relationship these two had abs felt this was a perfect chapter to do it in. I mean 10 pages of just walling in the snow would have been pretty hard to fill all that show there was nothing like a flash back memory for the reader to understand why these two are unique, yes they where also in the same training class that the reader learned in the beginning but this really shows the connection these two have. With every book you typically have a boring chapter or two just to progress the story line but I figured there was a way to progress the story line tell the back story and keep it exciting
Good way to handle it. One other way is to let is all build up, which is also what you are doing. But I'm thinking like the first two seasons of Fringe if you've seen it. Not that a TV show compares to a book but that show was masterful in building up to something bigger all while people could enjoy each episode.

CHAPTER 15
MEETING THE PRODIGY
I open my eyes only to hear that we are landing, I look over at Tibs and he looks like he is just waking up as well. I take my headset off and ask “How long have I been out?â€
Tibs “Well we have been in the air for about 10 and half hours, and we are finally touching down.â€
Ryden “We are we anyways?â€
Tibs looks out the window and his eyes light up with joy “So----
I cut him off “Some place warm.â€
Tibs “Yes. YES! YEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!! I can see beaches and everything.
Ryden “Okay, just remember we are here for work buddy.â€
Tibs “I know, isn’t great, we finally get to work in a nice warm environment.â€
I can’t help but chuckle how Tibs can feel like he is in heaven just because he is in a warm environment. Nevertheless I am Happy myself as that frozen tundra was starting to get to me. We feel a bump and we know that the plane has touched down and we feel the power of the engines using there revers thrusters to slow us down. We taxi to the loading area and there is someone wheeling the boarding ladder over to our plane. The First Officer opens up the door and proceeds to say “Welcome to Morocco.â€
We give each other a very odd look and then both say to the captain at the same time “Morocco, Africa.†The first officer nods and we walk onto the boarding ladder and off the plane. We notice a man on a motorcycle with two more next to him with no one on it. Now these are not your American motorcycles, they look more like dirt bikes with street tires on them, and they seem to be two stroke as well. This is the way most people do get around in Africa though. We walk up to the guy.
He Says “Agent 90, 91 lets ride.â€
At this point I couldn’t resist and I look over at Tibs and say “I have the need….â€
We both say “THE NEED FOR SPEEED!!!!†Then we sing “HIIIGGHHH WAY TO THE DANGER ZONE DADADADAAAAA!!!!! We laugh put on our helmets, start our bikes and let this guy lead the way.
This guy drives fast because he knows the terrain and the dirt roads well, Tibs and I however manage to keep up. He leads us into the forest, but there are still dirt roads that go through it. We keep up with him the best we can, this guy slows down to turns left at a 90 degree angle and hits the throttle, Tibs and I stay right behind him. We have to be at a cruising speed of around 70 MPH on this small dirt road, it is crazy. Most of the turns are not that sharp and we can keep most of the speed.
Turning left and right constantly at more around 45 degree angles now, but once again he slows down to make a 90 degree right hand turn and punches it, this time as Tibs and I make the turn we do not see him, but notice an incline and figured he is already up the hill. Tibs and I do not hesitate and we turn the throttle all the way back, once we get to the top of the hill, we see why we cannot see him anymore.
We fly through the air and there is a major descent to the other part of the dirt road. The road sinks at least 50 feet below from where the incline had started. We land on a decline and notice it flattens out and leads to another incline. Tibs and I love this rollercoaster road and punch it and we fly back up in the air at least 50 feet, this time however we land on the flat dirt road and see our guy a little bit further ahead of us then we expected.
We twist our throttles and start to catch up to an appropriate tailing distance. We continue in the middle of the forest, more like a jungle at this point, with trees and plants right next to the dirt road. The turns are creating us to really lean into them as they around 60 degree turns now. We reach a little bit of a straight and the guy slows down in the middle of the dirt road and stops right in the middle of the jungle.
Our engines are still on so I yell at him “WHY ARE WE STOPPING!!â€
He yells back “FOLLOW ME!!â€
At this point he turns off the road and continues to weave in and out of the trees and plants, Tibs and I have to follow single file but we do everything we can to try to keep up. We travel for another 30 minutes weaving in and out of this jungle, and with no road to keep the terrain at least a little bit smooth, we are constantly going up and down getting air here and there.
Finally I see what we are going to; I see a small little hut in the middle of the jungle that we ride up to and I hear him cut off his engine. Tibs and I pull up right next to him, cut off our engines, take off our helmets, put down our kick stands and get off the bikes.
He says “I really thought I was going to have to go slow for you two.â€
Tibs “Well you don’t know Ry and I, We love to Fly.â€
He says “I am Apio and please come this we way.â€
We follow him into the hut, it is only one room, there is a hammock in it along with a table and with 6 chairs around, beyond that, and there is much room for anything else. We see a man, quite a bit older than us but by no mean’s old, probably in his mid-40s. He looks at us and is kind of in shock. He just stares at us for a minute, and then he finally speaks.
“So these are the two Agents that can do anything, any mission, no matter how difficult the circumstance, even when we send them on basically a suicide mission they not only manage to come out alive and well, but also complete every little objective on the mission.â€
Ryden “We take pride in what we do, we have pushed our minds and our bodies way the past normal extremities, there is a reason we graduated first in our class.â€
“Indeed you have, well you guys have checked out, are you ready to meet him?â€
Tibs “Indeed we are, his he here?â€
“Heavens no, I couldn’t risk you two being followed, from here we go about 4 miles into the jungle and get on the helicopter.â€
We see Apio fall to the ground and blood starts to puddle up where his head is.
Ryden “GET DOOWWNN!!!!â€
We hear automatic weapons going off all over the place, bullet go through the hut like it is a napkin, the only thing even giving us decent cover is the table, which is surprisingly made of really thick wood and then covered on top with a 3 inch marble slab. We put it on its side and hope the bullets are coming from that side.
Tibs “I hear at least 10, could be closer to 15 weapons.â€
Ryden “You have any grenades in this place?â€
“No.†he says “I do have a couple of automatic rifles over in that corner though.â€
I look around, trying to find a way out, the bullets are still flying at us at a constant pace. I run over to the guns and notice four automatic rifles, AK-47’s with about 7 clips extra for each gun. I throw one to Tibs and one to the Prodigy, put all the clips in the bag and run back to the marble slab table with my gun.
Ryden “We all have about 9 clips, so we need to use them wisely. Do not shoot until you see them.â€
Prodigy “There is a way out, shoot at the floor over there trust me.â€
He points towards the left rear corner of the hut; we all unload half a clip at the area.
Prodigy “Jump through the floor it will get us out of here.â€
All of us proceed to the area we shot up, jump up and slam our feet down on the ground and break through the floor. We fall about 10 feet and land on dirt, we fall into what seems like a carved out escape route in the dirt.
“Did you dig this up as an escape route?’ I ask
Prodigy “Why in the world would I think I would need an escape route in the middle of nowhere off the already majorly beaten path. It being dug for a well, but no spring was found, and the tunnel leading us out was originally intended to be a diamond mine, of course it was left unfinished.â€
Tibs “Blood diamonds, quite popular in Africa.â€
Ryden “yes, That is what they are known for. Prodigy, Do you think we can make it to the helicopter or do we need to figure out a plan B.
Prodigy “We should be fine, This tunnel will take us about a quarter of a mile underground, But at the same time I say we should sprint this first part until we get out of the tunnel at least. Put some ground between us and them.â€
Tibs “Agreed, I’ll Race ya Ry.â€
Ryden “Ready, Set…â€
Tibs “Goâ€
With that we all sprint through the tunnel at full speed, Tibs decide to say go and get an early jump, the bastard. He gets to about 5 feet in front of me when I start to slowly catch him. We start to see the light at the end of the tunnel and He and I are neck and neck. The Prodigy, we will just say is a few steps behind. Tibs I can tell is starting to get winded so I put in one last thrust and start to take the lead, but Tibs turns on his last burst of speed as well. We finished almost neck and neck but I bend my head over and get him by a torso.
We start to slow down and the Prodigy, who was about 10 feet behind catches up. We do not slow down to a walk, but remain at a nice light jog and keep moving toward the helicopter, I of course start talking shit.
Ryden “Tibs, what happened, thought you could cheat and win?’
Tibs “You got lucky as hell, and you didn’t even beat me our legs where parallel to each other.â€
Ryden “Did my torso get out of the mine before yours did.†I pause and he looks at me pissed off “alright then, shut the fuck up. AND YOU CHEATED SAYING GO AND TAKING OFF, YOU CANâ€T BEAT ME BOOOYYYYY, I GOOOO HAAAAAMMMM!!!!!!â€
Tibs “Am I really not going to hear the end of this, I had a gun on back?â€
Ryden “and I didn’t?â€
Prodigy “Are you guys always like this?â€
Ryden “Only when he makes excuses and cannot admit when I am superior to him at activities, just like on the basketball court.â€
Tibs “I beat your ass all the time on the court.â€
Ryden “How many seven game series have you won?â€
Tibs “Like two.â€
Ryden “exactly, Like two. I have won at least 8.â€
Tibs “Bullshit, you have won like 5, if that.â€
Ryden “BULLLLSHIIIT!!!!!! You know we have played a lot more than that.â€
The Prodigy start to take the lead and says “Follow me guys we are almost there. I swear your guys worst then teenagers.â€
We follow the Prodigy and go back underground, this time however you can tell our agency built it. It seems like a tree, but he hits like 3 things on it and a door opens up. The tree then closes behind us as soon as we get in. We follow the Prodigy down some metal stairs, into a hallway in which we have to walk single file in. We walk about a 100 feet and there is a huge opening and there are two helicopters underground.
Prodigy “Can anyone of you fly a helicopter by yourself?â€
Tibs and I at the same time “I can.â€
Ryden “Bro I am way better than you at flying a helicopter, let’s keep it real.â€
Tibs “YOU’RE NOT EVEN CLOSE!!!â€
Ryden “Bitch I will school you right now.â€
Prodigy “We do not have time for this, here is a coin, Head Ryden flies solo, tails Tibs flies solo.
He flips the coin and it lands, Tibs and I looks at it.
Tibs “What the Fuck, Is that heads or tails.â€
Prodigy “How in the hell am I supposed to know, it is an African coin.â€
Tibs and I just throw are palm right in our forehead.
I pick up the coin “Look this side we will call heads the side with the elephants head on it. The side with spear on it we will call tails. Heads I fly solo, tails you don’t fly solo.†I say
Tibs “Fuck that!â€
Ryden “Just seeing if you were paying attention, tails you fly solo†I flip the coin and it lands on the elephant head.
Tibs “Best 2 out of 3.â€
Prodigy “Let’s go, Ryden take the helicopter, Tibs fly with me.â€
I get into the farther helicopter, and starts to start it up. Tibs gets in the other one and starts to start that one up as well. The Prodigy Presses a butt that start to have the ceiling of the place open up, with half of the ceiling sliding one way, and the other half the other way. He then proceeds to get in the helicopter with Tibs and are propellers are spinning at practically full speed at this point.
All of us put on our headsets and the Prodigy says “Next top, The man in charge.â€
-
CHAPTER 16
ON THE WAY
With the ceilings fully opened, we now start to bring the helicopters off the ground. I get on the radio and say “I love these assault helicopters; they can do barrel rolls, loop to loops and everything.â€
Prodigy “Do you ever take anything seriously?â€
Ryden “I would lose my edge if I did.â€
By this point we have made it over the jungle and are now rising in the air, when my radar starts going off like crazy, I look down and scream in the radio “RPG!!! RPG!!! RPG!!†I noticed an RPG coming right for me, I wait one extra second and then do a levitating barrel roll, I go sideways from the ground while raising the helicopter about 20 feet then get to a full upside down position as the RPG flies by me, at this point I have raised my helicopter about another 10 feet. And then I complete the circle. “Are you guys Okay??!!â€
Tibs “Where hit MAYDEE MAYDEE!!!!â€
I look over to see what has happened, they were not hit hard, but they won’t be able to keep the Helicopter stable much longer, “Put into to auto pilot and Jump to mine.â€
The Prodigy Is the first to come, I am as close as the propellers will allow, I position myself a little lower and angle it up just a little so they can jump in. The Prodigy jumps fine no problems. Tibs puts the Helicopter in auto pilot mode to try to keep it stabilized. The rotor propeller goes out and I have to back away as the helicopter starts to spin.
Tibs still has his headset on, we are about 1000 feet of the ground but he is dropping and dropping fast. I say “TIBS, JUMP I WILL CATCH YOU!!!â€
Tibs takes his headset off, and the Prodigy is strapped in to my helicopter, Another RPG flies by, missing both helicopters. Tibs jumps from about 800 feet from the ground as I start to position myself below the helicopter still up right. I do the opposite of my first barrel roll lowering myself right about 50 feet putting myself on the side, and the I start to go upside down as Tibs is falling into the helicopter catching him on the roof. I Go about an extra 20 feet upside down sideways to attempt to avoid the helicopter that is falling down and spinning of control.
I start to put my helicopter on its other side while raising, Tibs is holding on to the handle bar, I feel the Helicopter Blades just Scrape the bottom of my helicopter as I continue the barrel just in the nick of time so it doesn’t take of the landing gear. Just as I finish A huge explosion pushes us to the side, I quickly rotate my Helicopter to face the way we are pushing and put and start high tailing it out of the jungle. Another RPG had been shot at us, but luckily it hit the already failing helicopter that basically shielded us from sure death.
I start laugh as we have made it out and The Prodigy looks bewildered and asks “Why are you, How could you be laughing at a time like this?â€
Ryden “It is just funny.â€
Tibs is getting pissed because he knows why I am laughing but The Prodigy continues to inquire and asks “What is funny?â€
Ryden “The fact that I avoided the RPG and saved you two, all while flying solo, and the helicopter with two helicopters couldn’t even avoid an RPG that wasn’t even meant for them.†I start to laugh louder, at this point my amusement is over, I am just laughing louder to rub in Tibs face and then I say “I guess that means I am a better helicopter pilot then both of you COMBINED!!†At this point I laugh even louder.
Tibs is so pissed off that he Yells at me “The only reason we even got hit by that RPG is because of the way you avoided it, when you did the barrel roll, the heat seeking part of the missile made it rise right to us as it was still somewhat latched onto you, If we wouldn’t have been 100 feet above you in the first place it never would have hit us. It would have been a direct hit if it wasn’t for me spinning out of the way!!!â€
Ryden “Did you avoid the whole missile, because I remember the RPG being latched on to me and I even screaming in the radio RPG!!! RPG!! RPG!!! To give you a heads up, which I had none by the way. The RPG caught me completely by surprise; at least you had a second to prepare.
Prodigy “How did you guys ever complete missions together?â€
Tibs “Are you serious, we love each other, the second you mind focuses on purely the bullets flying by your ahead or RPG’s coming right at your aircraft, you’re done. You go into panic mode and lose your calm cool swagger, you’re no longer smooth. The reason we are so good is because we get the mission done and make a game out of it.â€
Ryden “True, true.â€
Prodigy “You make a game out of it?â€
Ryden “Of course. If they say complete this mission in 72 hours, we try to do it in 48, both of us typically have time to spare and chill, before our minds go back to regular, have no clue who we really are mode. We take every mission seriously, without taking it seriously, which gives us our edge.
Tibs “I have never had someone put that so intuitively before, take missions seriously without taking it seriously. You, sir, should be a Professor.†This was in a very sarcastic tone
Ryden “Shut up Tibs. I should, however, run a clinic on how to fly helicopter apparently. Prodigy, gives me the coordinates we are far enough away from them they will have no clue where we are going to.
Prodigy “Just head toward Lebanon, we will meet him somewhere there, he hasn’t gave me the exact coordinates yes.â€
Ryden “Lebanon it is.†With that I start heading east toward Lebanon.
Tibs “Lebanon, why Lebanon?â€
Prodigy “Well has high profile of a place that it is, with all the wealthy people there, it is actually very low profile for people like us, it is one of the least expecting countries, and the General of this whole operation, out of the all the places he has been in and run into issues, has had no problems in Lebanon.â€
Ryden “It makes sense. I am glad it is not that far from here either. Tibs why in the world are you complaining, it is nice and warm in Lebanon as well.â€
Tibs “I am definitely not complaining whatsoever, I have never been to Lebanon, or anywhere close to that in any mission in my entire career here.â€
Prodigy “There is a really good reason for that, we always make sure missions are never done anywhere near what we call true safe points. There is only a few areas that are that safe, so we think it is best to never take any missions near them areas.â€
Ryden “Yeah I definitely understand that philosophy. It is kind of like don’t stick your pen in company ink.â€
Prodigy “What does that mean/â€
Tibs “Don’t date women you work with. If it goes bad it can cause a lot of drama…..and If your just doing a onetime thing with them, OOOOooooooo Buddy, that can go real bad real quick.
Ryden “Tibs, does someone know from experience?â€
Tibs “Someone does know from experience, but she was hotter than burning flames of hell, so it was worth it.†All of us can’t help but chuckle on that one. I hook up my headset to my music and notice Tibs put his ear buds on and The Prodigy looks like he is going to be taking a nap. I zone out on the music and continue to fly.
The entire ride takes roughly 5 hours in the helicopter, be we do manage to get there. I detach my music from my headset and look over at Tibs, and he comes and sits in the co-pilot seat.
Ryden “That is exactly where you should be…..The CO-PILOT SEAT.â€
Tibs “Are we really going to start right now?â€
I laugh and say “Nah man I’m just messing with ya, we are on the border of Lebanon, do you want to wake up sleeping beauty.
Tibs “We should, but what is his real name?â€
Ryden “I am just as clueless as you bro, we haven’t really had time for proper introductions if you know what I mean.â€
Tibs “True, I will go wake him up.†With that Tibs and nudges The Prodigy until he is awoken. Once he is up Tibs says “We are in Lebanon.â€
Prodigy “Really, I must have been out for a while. I will call him now.†The Prodigy pulls out his Phone and calls him; all we hear is the Prodigy’s side
-
Prodigy “Really, I must have been out for a while. I will call him now.†The Prodigy pulls out his Phone and calls him; all we hear is the Prodigy’s side of the conversation. “Were here………..The helicopter………..Will do.†Then he hangs up an tells me “We need to go to 33.5333° N, 35.5833° E.
Ryden “Yes sir.†I put in the coordinates and we are about 20 minutes from that location according to the satellite GPS on the helicopter. “We should be there in about 20 minutes†I say to Tibs and The Prodigy.
Tibs “How long have you been being mentored to take over now?â€
Prodigy “About two years, I will fully be prepared to take over by the end of the third year he tells me.
Ryden “So you have been by his side for two years learning?â€
Prodigy “Not at all, the first year I never even knew his location, he just trained me the video conferencing and what not. At the end of the first year is when I finally met him and this whole year has been hands on. I have sent out a couple of mission with even his oversight, and at the end of the mission being completed he showed his gratification as if I was progressing nicely.â€
Tibs “So you trained for a whole year, without ever knowing his whereabouts.â€
Prodigy “Yeah, I know it sounds weird, but he told me it is like a probationary phase to see if he is really going to train you or not, cause he has tried this twice before, and didn’t the like the individuals he was mentoring so he decided not to let them take over. Apparently I passed the test.â€
Ryden “Where at the coordinates, there is a place over there to touch it down.
With that I touch the helicopter down and shut down the power. We get out of the helicopter and look around, we see nothing.
Ryden “What are supposed to do now Prodigy?â€
Prodigy “Wait, he will be here soon, I am sure he seen us coming and will be here shortly.â€
We all wait, for hours and hours, with small talk here and there, but for the most part we wait in silence, keeping our eyes peeled for anything suspicious. The sun sets and the moon has risen, and still some hours go by until it seems it is at the darkest point of the Lebanon night.
All of a sudden we hear something from a distance, and it seems to be coming up upon us pretty fast. It sounds like multiple horses coming at us in a full blown gallop. The three of us prepare for what is ever about to happen getting behind the helicopter and grabbing the weapons that where stocked in the helicopter. I still had my Ak-47 with and 6 full clips, they lost theirs in the shot down helicopter. There are however, 4 M-4 Carbines with substantial number of clips that where stocked in the helicopter. I grab the M-4 because I like it better, and Tibs does as well, but the Prodigy grabs the AK-47, I assume that is his weapon of choice out of the two.
The gallop slows to a trot and then to a walk as they reach the helicopter. When we peek out to see what we are dealing with, we notice one man, fully covered in an all-black tunic with a hood as well as a mouth cover so you may only see his eyes. The other 3 horses he had with him where midnight black as well, but no riders.
The Prodigy looks at us and says “That’s him.

CHAPTER 17
THE TRUTH ABOUT THE ORGANIZTION
The Prodigy is the first to come out of the protection of the helicopter and we follow swiftly behind. The Person on the horse does not speak but rather directs us to the horses in which we promptly get on. The Prodigy proceeds to get on the horse directly behind the man that led the stallions here. I get on the horse behind the Prodigy and Tibs gets on the one behind me.
The man quickly goes into a full gallop and we follow him and eventually all of us get to the side of him where the horses head is equivalent the back of the Man in all black horse’s hind legs. We ride fast and what seems to be in a straight line for what seems to be most of the rest of the night. At one point I look at Tibs, who was already looking at me, and his eyes where saying the same thing mine where, I really hope we are not being led into an ambush. Nevertheless we kept going tried and true, following this leader of ours, who we have yet to actually see.
We get to a point where there is a huge desert hill in which our horses seem to take an hour to climb. It was steep and probably was a good 5000 feet in elevation from bottom to top. Once we got to the top, we paused and looked down. The decline was even more father down then the incline was up, and led to a huge ditch of sand in which there was about 30 feet of flatness before another small incline of, what I would say, is around 600 feet.
The horses start going down, taking their time, but moving a lot faster than a walk. This seems to take even longer then the incline but we finally manage to get to the bottom and we start trotting down the flat service. Out of nowhere it is like something comes out of the sand and it is a passage that we ride through and then it swiftly closes behind us. It is a narrow passage for about 100 feet, in which the hall way declines a little, we ride single file, but then it opens up to almost a barn type setting. This setting is probably 75 by 75, a pretty large room.
There is hay on the wall on the right and the left as well as poles to tile up the horses. Next to the hay on each side is a pretty large container of water for the horses to drink out of. We get off our horses but don’t really tie them up and start walking into another hallway. This hallway is about 50 feet in length, and opens up to another pretty nice size room about 50 feet by 50 feet.
From there we got another room that is on the left. This is a smaller room, about 25 by 25 feet. There is a big round table in the middle of the room with what looks to be 10 chairs. The man in all black goes in the corner to the far right where he takes off is head covering and hangs it up, and then takes the hoody attached to his tunic off his head. He turns back around and stares at all of us.
“I am Byram, Tiberius and Ryden, Agent 090 and 091. You are my two best agents, I have always expected nothing less but perfection from you both, and each time you seem to even exceed that expectation. The prodigy’s name is Ulric. He was told not to tell you his name and a only information needed as necessity until we met. We are in a world of hurt now and you’re my top 2 agents, the only agents I can truly count on to complete any task and the mission in Siberia was proof.â€
Ryden “The real thing I want to know, is why the memory wipe, while the pills for activation of only certain skills?â€
Byram “We have been researching this for 50 plus years. Too many times has the entire agency been jeopardize because someone could not take the torture. Trust me; I am not saying I would be able to take some of the things that have had to deal with either, but at the same time that was they were getting paid to do. We started developing this in the 60’s with the CIA, but around 75 they decided to part ways with it. I kept funding it on my own accord until about 85 when the company that ultimately perfected the design of the pill started to develop it. The other company that was working on it was a government agency, and the stayed on for the 10 years while I kept funding, but in 85 this other company offered to assist, and I was tired of being linked to the government. Although we were considered an Independent agency, we still ties with the government, once I parted ways that company and took on development with the one that ultimately perfected the pill in 85, the agency truly became an independent agency with no ties to any government what so ever, allowing me complete freedom on what mission to and not to take.
Tibs “Did you ever take missions that were against the U.S.?â€
Byram “No, of course not, but it allowed to make missions from other countries that needed help with other countries. I could take a mission from Afghanistan to assassinate someone from Iran or take on a mission from Kenya to stop drug smuggling in Somalia.â€
Ryden “So by completely detaching yourself from the U.S. government you really about to expand the agency way more then you ever could doubling or even quadrupling you’re normal income.â€
Byram “Precisely. Follow me.†He goes back out to the main room and make a left to a room that is directly opposite of the hallway we entered from. We all enter the room behind Byram, and noticed a lot of monitors, but they were all hooked up to a laptop and then he explains. “Everything you could possibly need to know about this agency is on this laptop. Contacts to order pills, to Addresses of all the agents and the approximate current locations, although it can be hard because they do like to go on vacation a lot; to missions that have been completed, accepted, denied, and pending missions that have yet to be accepted or denied. It is a custom made Alien ware laptop before dell bought them out and made them horrible. It has a 20 gigabyte hard drive and 5 terabytes of memory.â€
Tiberius “So what is all this equipment for?â€
Byram “Just extra monitors so I don’t have to do everything on that small little laptop screen, and speakers so I can listen to music or watch movies, I stay here for months at a time. When I leave I to a different location I just take the laptop with me. There is nothing on anything that stays here; everything is on the mobile laptop.â€
Tiberius “What if you get caught? What if the Laptop gets destroyed?â€
Byram “I have a backup laptop in a very specified location, that is the only thing not on this laptop, but it is in my mind, am not even certain of where it is located.â€
Ryden “Isn’t that unsafe?â€
Byram “Not at all, I know where the first clue is to where its whereabouts is. I honestly do not remember how many clues I made myself to find it if something ever happened to this one, but I’m pretty sure there is at least 10-25 clues spread around the entire world before I would find it.â€
Tiberius laughs “so you’re going Da Vinci code on us.â€
Byram “More like Angels and Demons, but yeah.â€
Ryden “Back to the history of the Agency.â€
Byram “Oh yes, so the completely independent company took over in 85 and by 95 we started testing it. We would train people on a language and then attempt to wipe there memory of it completely and only that. By 97 we had perfected the memory wipe of only certain components and by 2000 the pill was developed to bring back all the training that we wiped. It was not till 2002 when we perfect the time of which it was last and able to manipulate how long you would remember your training with pill. Once we got that perfected, It was only months before we were able to only bring back certain skills and kept others, in what we call remission.â€
Ryden “Why did everyone all of a sudden quit?â€
Byram “They were going to lose their entire training and only have it activated when we wanted it to be. I would have quit to, I allowed them the option of leaving with all their skills intact. I have kept an eye on all of them to make sure they do not do anything stupid, but at the same time I do not really check up on them, just make sure that
-
Ryden “Why did everyone all of a sudden quit?â€
Byram “They were going to lose their entire training and only have it activated when we wanted it to be. I would have quit to, I allowed them the option of leaving with all their skills intact. I have kept an eye on all of them to make sure they do not do anything stupid, but at the same time I do not really check up on them, just make sure that there pattern is basically the same. Of course they have vacations from time to time which are always out of their normal routine but I do not sweat it. I just want to make sure they don’t go to another agency and start working for them.â€
Ryden “In came Tibs and I for the first set of grueling training.â€
Byram “Yes, your class was my first class, and I only needed on more class after that. That class was my babies, but I was so hard on you guys, made your learn numerous languages, some you have still never used, every weapon that is on this earth, and how to be a marksman on it, every little thing I could think of I made you train on it. The other class I just trained them on a specific skill set, a group became snipers and recons, another group became capturers and interrogators, so there it wouldn’t take me as long to train. I have to send two of them on mission almost all the time to do what one man can do for your entire class.â€
Ulric “Byram, I believe it’s time to get down to business, how is it someone always knows there location how is it they knew our secret location in Morocco, we have to figure out the root of the problem so we can stop this.â€
Byram “Indeed we do my friend, come lets go back to the strategizing room.â€
Tibs and I go out first; Ulric follows behind, then Byram. We hear a very muffled sound and turn around, Ulric has fell to his knees with blood flowing from his skull, he falls face first to the ground with a puddle of his own blood starting to surround him.
-
CHAPTER 18
SURPRISE
We look to see Byram holding the gun pointed right where the head of Ulric head would have been.
Byram “You guys just have to be perfect at everything you do. I send you on suicidal missions, and somehow you come out alive with the mission completed. I send you on a mission that there is no way for you two to come out alive and low and behold, you come out alive and well with the MISSION COMPLETED!!!!!â€
Ryden “It was you.â€
Byram “How else do you think they would know where you are at all times? OF COURSE IT WAS ME!!!â€
As I glance over at Tibs I can see his face getting red and he explodes “WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS, THE WHOLE TIME WE THOUGHT YOU WHERE HELPING OUT THE WORLD, AND YOU HAVE BEEN POURPOSLY TRYING TO KILL US THROUGH SUCIDAL MISSIONS????!!!!!!!!â€
Byram chuckles “I was trying to kill you through suicidal missions, but you were doing the world well, somehow the both of you have always managed to complete impossible missions. However, this time, you fucked with my plans, I sent you to Siberia to die. There is no way you could have finished that mission alive, none what so ever. The security in that place, where it is located, the way you have to get in and out. I was going to hold the whole world hostage, but you completely destroyed my plans.â€
Ryden “Why? You have all the money you could ask for?â€
Byram laughs “Money, you think this is about money? THIS IS ABOUT POWER!! I would be able to control every person in the world; they would bow to me and adhere to every command. Luckily I have another plant in development as we speak, and I will not give you gentlemen the opportunity of fucking up my plans again.â€
Tibs explodes again “WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE OTHER AGENTS!!!â€
Byram “There like Ulric in front of you, only difference is I didn’t kill them. When I sent them on suicidal missions they died.â€
Ryden “We are the last ones.â€
Tibs “YOU DID KILL THEM; YOU SENT THEM ON MISSIONS THAT YOU KNEW THEY DID NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY TO DO!!!!â€
Byram “I sent you on missions that I though you did not have the capacity to do, but apparently I was wrong.â€
I look at Tibs and he glances at me, I gave him a look and a hand gesture as if to say, calm down, we have to stay calm and figure this out. See while Tibs is blasting away at Byram like a tyrant, I am just trying to prolong the conversation to find a way to get out of here alive and kill Byram. I am just trying to prolong the conversation and by time, and if Tibs strikes a wrong nerve we are both dead. He has the gun pointed at us and we are too far away from him to bum rush him and grab the gun. There has to be a way out of this.
Byram “There is no point in calming him down Ryden, let him get it all out before he dies.â€
Ryden “So you can’t kill us with impossible missions so you going to have our blood directly on your hands.â€
Byram “It seems to be the only that to make sure that the job will get done.â€
Tibs is actually calm now and starts laughing, laughing crazily out of his mind actually.
Byram “I guess I would go crazy to if I knew I was going to die.â€
Tibs “The fact that you think you can kill us. Do you really think you have us in a position we cannot get out of. Hate to tell you this, but have put us in a lot worse situations that we have come out unscathed from and this will be no different.â€
Byram laughs but I notice Tibs has moved away from me quite a bit, when Tibs laughed, he stomped his feet and slid over a little and every time he yelled he stomped his feet and slid over little over as well, making him have to turn his head if he wants to look at us directly to speak with us.
Byram “This is a situation that even you two Houdini’s can’t get out of, that I am assured of.â€
I know Tibs already has something up his sleeve; I just start talking to Byram to get his attention directly pointed at me.
Ryden “Well you have put us in a lot worse situations, remember the first mission you sent us out in that jungle, we managed to come out of that one.â€
Byram “I honestly was not trying to kill you then. That needed to be done, those where horrible people.â€
Ryden “And you’re not a horrible person, you want to rule the entire world.â€
Byram “I don’t want to kill women and children just for fun, they did. If you have one ruler over the entire world, there will be peace, no more wars, everybody under one flag, on covenant, one set of laws.â€
Ryden “You can’t just force them to do it, it will never work out that way, all the nations have to agree together.â€
Byram “I totally agree, but I would not be the one in power that way. I will be able to tell entire nations what to do and how to do it. I will hold the entire world hostage with my atomic missiles. They will do whatever I say or their entire nation will die.â€
Ryden “Your just power hungry little prick.â€
Byram “Well this power hungry little prick will still be alive in 10 minutes and you won’t.â€
Ryden “We will see about that.â€
Byram “You think you have plan in your mind that will get you out of here, I promise you don’t. I have been plotting this ever since Siberia.â€
Ryden “So Ken and Chris where on your payroll?â€
Byram “No, not at all. They were however part of my overall plan. See I have been secretly working with someone this whole time and they have no clue who I really am. I planned on killing him right before we held the world hostage and taking over his entire operation, but obviously them plans have been postponed.â€
Ryden “Every time I think you have fully explained yourself, you just raise the ceiling. You’re like the Michael Jordan of being a power hungry back stabbing piece of shit.â€
Byram “Well, I am really getting tired of all the insults, I believe it is time for you to die.â€
Byram points the gun and at my skull when a shoe flies at him and knocks it out of his hand. He hurries to bend down and pick it back up, but I rush to him and tackle him as he grabs the gun in his hands, sending it out of both of our reach. I have him on his side and I am on top in a full mount position. I go to punch him but as I cock back he throws an elbow that hits my left eye and knocks me off of him.
Byram gets on his feet and jumps for the gun sliding to it and grabbing and start to point it back at me, but Tibs was running towards him and kicks the gun out of his hand. Tibs goes to kick him again but Byram grabs his leg and flips his leg on Tibs shoulders so that he is upside down. He flips Tibs over so that Byram’s back is on the floor, and Tibs is on him stomach on stomach. He yanks at his right leg which he originally used to attempt to kick Byram and separates it from his knee cap.
Tiberius “AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!! HE BROKE MY LEG!!!!!â€
I start to get up still a little dazed from the elbow to the temple. I see Byram throwing Tibs off of him and going back for the gun. I start to run toward him but all of a sudden I stop. I start to fall to my knees, I put my hands on my chest then hold them out and look down, and I have blood all over my hands. I am losing energy, but I am not blacking out yet. He points his gun at Tibs and I am looking directly at his side with his attention fully at him.
I get up off my knees and run towards him as he fires a shot he gets tackled to the ground. I am on top of him while his on his side. This time he tries pistol whip my skull, but I dodge it cock back and punch in his face. He swings the pistol at me again I go to dodge it but it grazes my nose, breaking it. I cock back and get a clean shot to the face again. He swings his pistol again at me, this time it hits my face and I fall off of him.
He turns on his stomach to get up, and as he stands up, the hand with the gun in it is on the side that I fell off of him. I rush up with the last bit of energy as he gets on his feet and starts to point his gun at me, I am close enough to grab it with my outside hand, and I twist the barrel to his inside. A shot goes off but I continue to twist it to

He turns on his stomach to get up, and as he stands up, the hand with the gun in it is on the side that I fell off of him. I rush up with the last bit of energy as he gets on his feet and starts to point his gun at me, I am close enough to grab it with my outside hand, and I twist the barrel to his inside. A shot goes off but I continue to twist it to his chest and unload the rest of the clip in him. He falls down, his back hitting the floor and blood starting to pour from his body.
I run over to Tibs “Tibs, are you ok?â€
Tibs “yeah, the bullet just grazed my shoulder.â€
Ryden “This is going to hurt, but at least you will be able to walk.â€
I take his leg which had been dislocated and pop it back into place. Tibs screams In agony and pain.
Ryden “Try to move it.â€
Tibs goes to move his leg and it is bending, it is going to swell up like crazy, but hopefully none of the ligaments wore tore and where just strained. If they all tore it will pop right back out of place, if they are just strained then he will be able to walk.
I look at his shoulder, and there is a bullet hole through it, it is a lot more than a graze, but it is above the heart, so he should be fine. My adrenaline is starting to come down and I start to feel the pain in my chest is starting to rush onto me, and I start bend over in pain. Tibs sits up and starts looking at me, he lays me down on my back and rips my shirt open.
Tibs “There is 2 bullets that went through your chest; we have to get you to a hospital.â€
Ryden “Get on the laptop and find a way to call a helicopter in here.â€
The laptop is on and Tibs does runs limping and gets on it, He looks through all the monitors and finds the contact list for vehicles. He makes the call for the helicopters.
Tibs “I need the Helicopter at the Lebanon base NOW!!â€
I can’t hear what the other person said, but I see Tibs hang up the phone and start running back to me. The way he his running, it is almost like a super skip, he does a huge hop on his good leg, lands on his good leg, then barely puts any weight on his bad leg for a split second, and then it is right back to his good leg.
Tibs “We have a helicopter on the way, it will be her in 10 minutes.â€
Ryden “Tibs, I’m Fading man. The only thing keeping me going was adrenaline which there is absolutely none left in the tank. I don’t think I’m going to make it this time.â€
I see tears in Tibs eyes, for once he doesn’t think I can make it either. Nevertheless he picks me up and throws me on his good shoulder and starts to drag his bad leg carrying me through the hallway on basically one leg. We get to the opening and he puts me on a horse and then climbs up right behind me to keep me secure. He immediately put the horse in a sprint. We make it out of the hallway and back into the desert.
I hear the sounds of the helicopter getting closer by the second, but by now I am completely numb, which is not a good sign. I feel no pain and my I can barely hold my eyes open. The helicopter land and Tibs gets on the helicopter with me on his shoulder as quickly as he possibly can.
Tibs “Get us to the closest emergency hospital!!â€
Helicopter Pilot “Roger.â€

CHAPTER 20
HOMECOMING
I open my eyes, my vison is blurry at first, but then slowly but surely comes into focus. I see a man in a suit sitting down next to the bed I am laying in. I look to the other side and notice I am hooked up to a machine watching my vitals as well as an I.V.
Tibs “OH MY GOD, YOUR AWAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HALELUJAH YOU ARE AWAKEâ€
Ryden “Who are you?? Why am I in a hospital? How long have I been out for?â€
Tibs “Here Ry, Take this pill and I will explain what happened in a minute.â€
Ryden “What is this pill going to do?â€
Tibs “Just help you recover, you have been in a coma for 3 months.â€
I nod my head and take the pill, The man in the suit sits down and just waits patiently as if that pill that I took is about to do something pretty significant to me pretty soon.
Ryden “Sir, what are you waiting for?â€
Tibs “Give it 5 minutes and you will know.†He smirks as he finishes his statement
I wait, but it appears as if nothing is happening to me all of a sudden my head has a loud ring that seems to be just getting louder and louder, I put my hands around my ears but it doesn’t help, it is getting unbearable, the pressure is about to explode in my head and then……….Complete silence.
Ryden “The Laptop.â€
Tibs “Really, That is the first thing you say when you get your memory back??!! Not thank you for saving me or……â€
I interrupt him “You sound like such a bitch right now, just thought I would let you know.â€
We both chuckle and then Tibs says “I have it, no worries. Lets get you outta of here.â€
Ryden “How bad was my wounds?â€
Tibs “Well…..One of the bullets grazed your heart, luckily it was so minor that they were able to patch you up, but you went into a coma and they thought you would never come out, you’re probably going to be a little weak since you haven’t used your muscles in 3 months.â€
Ryden “Well I got lucky. Tibs, Thanks for saving my ass by the way.â€
Tibs “Thanks for saving mine in Alaska, I mean that is what secret agent friends do, save each other lives when they can.â€
We both smile and I start disconnecting everything and sit up. Tibs goes to where he was seating grabs a laptop case, puts the strap over his shoulder and helps me to my feet. I try to walk, but I can’t walk on my own.
Tibs “Really, You take a 3 month nap, I figured you would be able to walk being fully refreshed, and not need a wheel chair like a little bitch.â€
Ryden “Really, I survived a bullet to a heart, but I’m a little bitch??!!! I’m like 2 pac, I keep coming back.â€
Tibs at this point had the wheel chair and helped me in it and says “Let’s get you someplace safe.â€
He wheels me out of the hospital and into the parking lot, helps me into his car, leaves the wheel chair next to his car and gets in the car in the drivers side. He puts the laptop case in the backseat, starts to call and we drive off.
Ryden “How long is this pill good for, and what did it activate?â€
Tibs “Forever and everything.â€
Ryden “ How did you manage that?â€
Tibs “Well while you where taking your little catnap, I was working there buddy. I found out who made the pills and connected with him, had the pills made for us, and started working on a recruiting program to start another class of the secret agents.â€
Ryden “Everyone is dead, who is going to be the instructors?â€
Tibs “Well there are these 2 guys I know that somehow as made it through every suicidal mission they have ever been on.†He and I both smile “Sounds Like a plan to you buddy†Tibs says.
Ryden “Absolutely.â€
Tibs “We have to start rehabbing you tomorrow, the first class will be in 6 months, and you are going to be a horrible instructor if you’re going to be in grandpa mode with a wheelchair.â€
Ryden “Well I noticed you limping a little bit there buddy, how is your leg doing?â€
Tibs “Well my mimosaceous was all tore up and they had to do surgery, strained ACL and MCL as well. But I should be fully good to go in about 6 months.â€
We pull into this driveway of this huge house, it is more like a mansion than a house. I say “Are we still in Lebanon?â€
Tibs “Yeah, I mean they live like God’s here, so we might as well to, I mean the bank account attached to this laptop was ridiculous, Billions of dollars are in it.â€
Tibs gets out of the car comes to the passenger’s side opens the door and helps me out and takes me inside, and proceeds to take me to a bedroom that is on the first floor pretty close to the front door. He puts me in the bed and says “Rehab starts tomorrow, the good thing about being in a coma that long is that all your wounds from the bullets and the surgery have healed, so now it is just a matter of getting your strength back. There is a mini fridge on the other side of your bed, here is the remote to the T.V. If you need anything, here is a button that will send a buzz through this whole house and will be right there buddy.â€
Ryden “Hey Tibs……..Thank you, you saved my life, I really mean it.â€
Tibs “Well your welcome buddy, but you are going to hate my ass tomorrow, I promise.â€
We both share a chuckle, and he leaves the room and goes somewhere else in this humongous house. About 30 minutes later I press the button and here the buzz go throughout the whole house. Sure enough within a minute he is there and ask “What is it buddy?â€
Ryden “Just seeing if it worked.†I smirk
Tibs “Look, Don’t be a dick just because you have a buzzer, I am not your butler.â€
He said it with such a straight and serious face, and we went into a stare down for what had to be a minute, but then we but start to crack up and laugh.
Ryden “Seriously, could you get me some food and something to drink?â€
Tibs “sure thing.†He goes to the minifridge next to my bed and pulls out a pepsi can, pops it open and puts a straw in it and hands it to me.
I can actually lift the can up and down, but it is somewhat challenging, not that it seems super heavy, but I guess my mind has to work on telling my body what to do again.
While I am thinking on why it is so hard to lift a dam pepsi can, Tibs had already left the room, within 10 minutes he comes back in with a Steak, all cut up into tiny pieces, and mashed potatoes covered in cheese on a plate.
Tibs “Now don’t think im going to be cutting your food like you’re a 2 year old this whole time, this shit is gonna stop real soon.â€
I laugh and say “You’re going to try rehab me faster than a normal person would take to rehab me aren’t you?â€
Tibs “I am not going to try my friend, I am going to rehab you faster than it would take a normal person.â€
Ryden “AWESOME.†I say in a super sarcastic tone, I know at least the first two out of these 6 months are going to be absolute hell.â€
Tibs “Listen, I don’t need no shit, We have 6 months before our first class, I need you at 100 percent. Eat up.
We talk about petty stuff while I eat, I think he stayed just to make sure I wouldn’t choke on anything while I was eating. When I was done eating he took my plate and left the room, and I went to sleep.
6 MONTHS LATER
We land on the ground in a helicopter, I remember this place like it was yesterday, this is the training facility in which I had trained at and it is all still intact to my amazement. Tibs and I walk inside of the entrance which start out as semi-long hallway. There are different plaques of different agents, all of who graduated at the top of there class, We get to a T in the hallway where there is this Case, and in it is a two plaques and pictures of Tibs and I.
There is also a Plaque in between our two plaques that read.
These two agents 090 and 091 where the first two agents to tie at the top of their class, they are the only two to finish with perfect scores through out every test, quiz, obstacle course, and every simulation we put them through. Throughout the years, they have been through countless missions and have never even been close to failing. These are the two best agents I have ever trained, and the only two people I would ever trust to run this agency if something where to happen to me. They are the only 2 agents that would ever have a chance to stop me if we were ever pitted against each other, Thank God we never will be.
-Byram
Ryden “Did this power hungry prick really do this at some point.â€
Tibs “I didn’t do it, he must not have always been that way, I don’t remember it being him that trained us though.â€
Ryden “Yeah neither do I, No one knew who the leader of this agency was, what was our instructors name again?â€
Tibs “It was the weirdest name in the world, It is on the tip of tongue, give me a second.â€
We think for about a minute and then Tibs Remembers. “It was Maryb.â€
Ryden “Maryb.†I think for a second “Tibs that is Byram spelled backwards.â€
Tibs “It sure the hell is isn’t it, so he Trained us, Well I’ll Be damned.â€
Ryden “It makes since, we were only like the third class, I remember now, he said there was something special about me, He was only supposed to allow 30 people in his class, but I was number 31. That is why I am agent 091, and you where the last person to supposed to be in the class, agent 090.â€
Tibs “Well he was right, we were the only people who had a chance to take his ass out, and we did.â€
Ryden “let’s go to the orientation and fill people in I bet they are waiting and they have no clue how long and rigorous this training will be.
We make a left at the T in the all way, and to the right, there is a door that is locked, there is a place to put a card for access and Tibs pulls a card out of his pocket and flashes it next to the card reader, the red light turns green and we walk in he takes another card out of his pocket and says, “here is yours, you have access to every room, every place here.â€
Ryden “Coolâ€
We walk for about 30 feet through a 20 foot wide hallway, and then it opens up to a pretty big room, We are on a stage about 6 feet higher than the floor where the chairs are where there are 6 rows of 5. Every seat is filled and the chairs are pointed are way and everyone is looking at us in silence.
I look at all their faces, they have no clue what they are in for, the next 2 years of their life will be hell, but it will all be worth it, they have the skills and the talent to take on an entire army by themselves. Tibs and I will spend the next two years training them. I start to remember when I was sitting there in the 6th row with 1 chair, I was the only person in that row, the person who was not supposed to be there. I wasn’t scared, I was antsy as hell though and ready to get going. I had no clue what I was going to be training for, I just knew I was going to the best at it and do whatever it takes to be the best.
Before we give our Orientation speech, I look over at Tibs and whisper in his ear “Tibs, this feels like homecoming man.â€
Tibs “It sure does my friend, Homecoming Indeed.â€

I figured u deserved and ending waiting 2 years at all, I just didnt know how to end it, but I left it open for a sequel, depending what happens i might make another one. I need to come up with about 1600 for the editing to get it where it needs to be and then I will try to publish it....maybe I can get a few people buy.....I was rereading it and think it would be great movie as well, with alot of action in it. TIBS i hit you up with a pm and my number....I conviently left out the the guy Byram was working with. so that could be tibs own book where he tries to locate him and take him out.....and find the other facility, or it could be after the training of the first new crew. IDK dude I see a lot of potential for sequels....I think a HBO series would be better....just for the fact I could get 20 hrs worth the film time, rather than just one 2 hr movie or so where they would have to leave stuff out.
