Area 51

   After five hours they were at the extremely guarded walls of Area 51. They flashed their ID at the scanner present near the side. Then slowly yet smoothly, the huge gates slid down allowing their Huron to hum forward.

The hot dry air blasted at their face as they stepped out to be greeted by a tall, well-built soldier. He shook their hands firmly, "Welcome to the Area 51, special facility! I will take you to the head of the Research and Development wing, under whom you shall be working."

They passed hangar after hanger as they went towards the spherical structure in the centre. The hangars were arranged in concentric circles around the main structure; just like an atom. As they entered the sphere, the cool, comforting air rushed at them. All of them heaved a sigh of relief, escaping the sweltering heat.

Everywhere Axel looked he saw computer screens and researchers typing in a flurry of clicks. From the top hung the X-43A scramjet, the fastest plane in the world reaching speeds of Mach 9.6. A man clad with a suit covered with medals approached the group, "Welcome scientists, welcome to the most advanced research centre on this planet. My name is Dr.Nicholas Cross .It's a place only few eyes see. You have done extremely well to be invited here, Mr. Gary Turner and Michael Brown."

He started walking to the centre and signalled them to follow. He his hand flew across a touchscreen panel on a stand. Five cubicles rose from the ground. All of them stepped in and instantly it rushed down. After some time it slowed down and came to a halt. A voice came from the speaker, "Floor -63". "Whoa!" Axel murmured under his breath as he stepped out into a well lit room similar to the one he came from excluding the tall roof.

"Please follow me; I'll lead you to your bunkers. Most of major research centres are underground and is under metres thick shield of lead to prevent any loss of information, equipment and genius personnel in case of bombardment by North Korea, Russia or any other violent enemy."

They then reached a guarded door. The soldier nodded towards Nicholas. He opened the door by typing in passkey on its screen, "Please pass through the next room one by one. His is decontamination chamber to prevent any germs for entering this high security residential sector of Area 51."

Axel was asleep when suddenly a creaking noise woke him. He was a very light sleeper. He looked out of the window in the door. He saw a shadow of a man walking towards him. HE ducked down. He took a glimpse as he passed. It was Eoin!

He saw as Eoin looked around for anyone before anyone he turned around a corner. Axel decided to follow. He opened his door and followed his groupmate, sticking to the shadows. After a flurry of turns, twists and hiding, Axel saw Eoin entering a room. He quickly walked close to the door and stuck his ear to it and listened closely. He could distinctly understand the voice of Dr.Nicholas, "Well CIA agent Eoin Grace, how's SIEVE?"
