"Click click " the door won't budge from the lock "hand me the picks" I say as josh reaches into the satchel " cer klunk!" The inside lock drops to the floor " lets go as we walk the old wood floors creak and squeaky, the walls are in decent shape the wall paper is peeling we look through each room for any thing we can use like wood, scrap metal, and maybe even a power cell reactor. were almost finished checking the rooms when a come to something strange, a small crawl space with a metal latch on attached. its in a odd place behind a small dispenser by the 2nd room bed i grab the latch and pull its black not 8:00 black pitch black. I grab my flash light into the small space to see a long black bag I pull on it, it's heavy really heavy. once it's out I examine the bag "florence Bed an breakfast" I whisper I notice that the bag is slowly moving up and down. I start to pull on the zipper my mind has to know what's in here. reach the end of the zipper and open the bag "aaaa" I jump to the sight of what's in the bag a face of a man white and pale his eyes where nothing holes not as skeletal but some skin I get to my feet and run to josh "hey help" I yell for him " what's wrong with you why are you screaming?" He said "j-just come on!" I yell as I grab him and run to the bag " here!" I crouch on my knee and rip open the bag. nothing nothing it's gone "what, a bag??"he said "no a uh....ummmm there was a never mind, did you find anything?" "yea lots of stuff......" My mind drifted as he talked the picture of that things face burned into my mind "hey are you listening?" josh said as he snapped at me " well you could say that" I said with a smirk. "Come on let's set up camp" he said as he Picks up the long black bag despite the "mystery man in the black bag mistake" we still set up camp in that house the night were quiet josh was first watch then me i we didn't know if it was night or day on the surface we just hit the hey when we got sleepy." hey get up we need to go" josh said while shaking me my vision was blurry the dust from the house was like a cloud always moving "we need to move" he says "fine fine we should go back to the R.S to get more supplies" we start to walk back to the R.S we go up the hatch to see a large shuttle fly above us the side reads G.S.D ( galactic, service, department) " well, looks like our new laser crystals have finally arrived." josh says as he pulled me from the hatch.
