Mike, Jonathan, Arygle and Will are currently driving in the dessert looking for El. 'She should be here!' Mike says. 'Did you check if you marked it good on the map?' Jonathan responds behind the weel. 'Yes of course! It should be here.' Mike says. Jonathan slams the brakes. 'Jonathan what are you doing?' Mike says. 'Stopping us before we get more lost.' Jonathan responds and he steps out of the car. So do the others. 'Give me that.' Jonathan says pointing at the map. 'Will, what were the coordinates Suzie gave.' Will grabs out of pocket a little note. 'Um, okay. Longitude is 116 degrees five minutes, and 17--.' 'Slow down, slow down.' Jonathan says.

Argyle has begun to separate from the group in the meantime. 'NINA?' He yells. 'NINA?'

then focuses on a distant object. something that is constructed of metal. 'My dudes! Come check this shit out!' He screams to the group. 'What is it?' Mike replies. 'Gotta see it to believe it, my dudes!' The group moans before sprinting in the direction of Argyle. 'So there is here no small women named NINA. But you said any signs of life, am I right?' Argyle speaks. 'Right.' Mike answers. 'Well, you see that in the distance. That is not sand or a cactus. No, that's metal. Something built of metal by very intelligent people. Argyle declares. 'We gotta go.' Mike says. They immediately run back to the van after that.

They are going to find El.

Right?

After a few minutes they are finally in front of the mysterious door. When Mike pulls on the door handle, nothing happens. 'It's locked!' Mike says. 'Yeah what did you expect.' says Jonathan. 'There is a keypad over here to unlock it.' Will opined. Will is approached by Mike. 'Oh gosh..' He says. "What kind of password do you think they would use," says Jonathan. "Yo bros, why wouldn't the password, to unlock this cool door, be Jane if they hide Jane?" While still high, Argyle answers. If I were a nasty guy in the government, I would do that. He adds. 'Eleven.' Will and Mike say in sync. 'Wait what do you mean.' Jonathan responds. Mike, on the other hand, is already entering in the three numbers.

0-1-1

But the door still won't budge. 'Damn it!' Mike says. 'Eleven..' Will says. Will is still focusing on the keypad when Mike casts a quick glance his way. 'Eleven...' Will repeats. 'Will, what do you mean by that?' Asks Mike. Will gestures toward the numbers 1 and 0 on the keyboard. He replies, "Under the number." Mike can now also see it. Under the one is a dot pictured and under the zero a dash. 'Morse code..' Will says. He hurriedly touches the buttons with his finger.

E: Dot

L: Dot-dahs-dot-dot

E: Dot

V: Dot-dot-dot-dash

E: Dot

N: Dash-dot

Mike observes Will as he presses each key correctly. But after he is done

CLANG!

Everyone turns back to look at the door handle. When Mike applies pressure, it finally opens. 'Wow, Will!' Mike remarks as he surveys Will. Will responds with a small smile. 'How did you even remember all that.' He adds. Will's smile immediately starts to fade away.

His eyes are being blinded by lights. He makes a valiant effort to move. But he is unable. He is bound by ropes. 'What is this.' . he mumbles, throat raw and scraping with the words. He doesn't even know who's in control anymore, who's speaking. If it was Him. That Shadow. 'Why am I tied up!' There is a brief silence. Somewhere he hears a voice. 'Look around you. Find out were you are!' Will scans the area. however, not beyond himself. There is nothing he can do to stop it. The last things he hears before he drifts away is 'Why am I tied up!' and after that 'Yes, go to sleep Will, you have done plenty today for me. Let me handle this...' And Will slowly start to drift away as He takes control.
