DATE: JANUARY 18TH, 1985

LOCATION: Mount Nebo, Utah

It was the final day of Delta Force training, I had been specially handpicked to be in the American Delta force, the final test, one of the training sessions, was the Grueling, 40 mile run/walk with a full kit on your back weighing 40-50 pounds depending on your role in a squad.

I was a squad leader, known for my intelligence and expertise in breaching, and kicking butt.

"COME ON! YOU CAN DO IT! DON'T LET THOSE WORM LEGS RUN YOU DOWN!"

My drill Sergeant, Matthew, was a pain, he had done us pain this past year of Delta Force Training, it was really difficult, and 2 guys even called quits after the torture training. I continued running, I was ahead of my brothers in arms and was somehow still running at the 39 mile mark.

"Almost done," I thought to myself, my legs were about to give out, my arms and chest hurt to the fullest extent, and I felt as if I was a weak toothpick was about to bend under pressure.

I was in pain, very, I was thinking about how my Mom and Dad would react looking at me while doing this, but they are watching from above sadly. I saw the finish line. I looked at the time and saw "3:34:56" which the best run in Delta Force training was 3:56:52 but I had made it 20 minutes earlier, which was surprising,

"COME ON! KEEP YOUR BAG UP AND RUNNING BOY!"

I was about to break, then I made it, I had done it, I was in the Delta Force. I sat my bag down and just laid in the wet grass. Later, Michael helped me up and we walked to the barracks where we all just went to sleep.

"Well, you're up," said the Drill Sergeant.

"What happened?" I ask

"Well you beat the record by 20 minutes, don't know how, but you did it, you will be team leader of the Retribution Delta Team, or an anonymous Government Body requested you to join, reminder you were hand picked, and few are. If you choose the Government, you will be charged under Federal Law if you leak any info about this Government Body, I don't know what it is, but if you decide to join, call this number and follow the instructions given to you, Michael chose this government body too." he hands me a piece of paper with a number on it. I grabbed it and said

"I choose the Government Body," I look at him with determination.

"Alright, well, nice knowing you, prodigy."

I start packing up my things, and shove the number in my pocket.

When I finished packing and grabbing my stuff, I realized everybody had already moved out. I probably was out for a while. I walk out and head towards the main building to use the landline. When I made it to the building, it was also empty.

I called the number, 304-485-8964, I heard some ringing, then someone picked up.

"Go to the entrance of the boot camp you are at, we are waiting for you," then they hung up.

I was confused, but walked to the entrance, only to see a black van sitting in front, 2 masked men left the vehicle and opened the door for me. I was shoved in.

"Hello, you have been handpicked to protect this Government Body. The Government Body, is a secretive organization, that contains anomaly's. If you decline joining or are deemed unworthy of being in the Security Group, you will be given amnestics and will have no memory of us."

The person talking was not seen because of the darkness.

"I choose to join," I say, reluctantly and worriedly.

"Okay," says the dark man, I was then injected in the neck. Dizzy, I fell asleep.
