The Lab

Chapter 3

I woke up, still on the helicopter. When I looked out the window I saw a lot of snow. Well, the ride passed by quickly. The helicopter slightly jolted as it came to a landing. "Alright people, this is our stop. " the pilot said. I got out with the others to look at the surroundings. I could barely make out empty hangers where planes were once camped across the field. I could see mountains in the distance. "Okay, when you get inside, turn on the power. Make groups and give each other numbers," one of the pilots told us. I ended up with the number seven and the people in my group were the quiet guy (number 4) and the Floridian (number 11). Another group was the Russian guy (number 2), the Australian (number 9), and the Texan (number 6). Those were the only important groups. Why? You'll know soon. Enough. We entered through what was a large trap door that we had to pry open. It took a hot minute, but we were able to pull it open. "What do you think they did here?" one of the other teams' members said. "We'll find out soon enough," number 6 said. We split ways down some hallways. We were prepared for anything, or so we thought. My group was walking down a corridor when suddenly number 4 put his hand up. Me and Eleven stopped in our tracks and turned on our flashlights which we had on our guns. Four suddenly said, "What is it Four?" He was quiet for a second before pointing down at his map. A red dot had appeared on it and was not moving. "Is that the objective?" I asked, "if so, why did you make us stop?" I was given my answer when the dot moved away from where we were and off the screen of the wrist map. "That's why," Four said, "and something tells me whatever has the objective isn't human." This made me shiver at the thought of what could've been only 20 yards from us. "Maybe he is mistaken," Eleven said, trying to comfort me (and probably himself too). We walked away from the hallway and went down another after we couldn't find the red dot. I knew something was about to happen but I didn't know what.
