The Pluto Project

Chapter 2

     ~ Now, this information that I'm  about to tell you is confidential. It's organized as a top clearance classification by the President and the Secretary of Defense of the United States of America. ~
     When Rex was finished with has playground activities, he called his friend Cameron over. "Didn't you see a black Lincoln parked over in the street right after we came outside?"Rex asked. " No, it could've just been passing by and you saw just a glimpse of it, or you could just be imagining it." "I thought so," Rex replied, " It just looked like someone in there, somewhere, was looking at me." "Oh, you think you're so special that someone would stalk you hanging out with a bunch of kids," Cameron said as he was laughing so hard he turned a slight red.

     "Yeah I guess it's a stupid idea anyways."Rex still felt like he knew what he saw, if he just saw it one more time, he could at least prove it to himself that he's not crazy. 'Oh well', he thought to himself. As soon as he took the first step into the door, he was pulled back by his shirt away from the door. He was instantaneously flung on to the ground, face first. You could even say he, "bit the dust" XD. But the strange figures had one hand pressing on the back side of his neck to keep his face down, and the other hand was on his back to keep him from getting up.
The other figure stood there, waiting until the other had finished restraining Rex. Afterwards, he started to pull a black burlap sack from a duffel bag. Rex was told by one of them to remain calm. But he didn't listen and continued to struggle, which he kept doing for another minute or so. When he was out of energy, the other figure took the burlap sack and placed it over Rex's head, only after the other figure lifted his hand from the back of Rex's head. "Why do we need the sack over his head? It's not like he's not supposed to not see it," one spoke up. "Eh, I guess your right."

     "You will comply", one figure spoke to Rex. "Who are you, what do you want with me?", Rex said as he was struggling to break free." You WILL comply", the figure said again. Rex started to cry. He wanted to go, he was so scared. He felt as if he was helpless to do anything. That's when he gave up, he didn't care anymore. He couldn't fight it, fight them. They were too strong and there were 2, how could he ever stand up to them? Rex hung his head and started to weep while he was dragged away to a car. When Rex opened his eyes after he was put into the car, he noticed it was the same Lincoln he saw earlier in the play yard. 

     They put Rex into one of those really nice heated leather seats. The car was filled with snacks, drinks, a TV, personal radio, among other amenities. "I guess you do this often, picking up kids like me for your own selfish desires. Men like you sicken me." The 2 figures looked at each other, then turned back to Rex. They both started to take off their masks. They were both males, with broad shoulders, and were massively built. 'They probably used to be in the military', Rex thought to himself. "We didn't mean to hurt you, I hope your alright and can forgive us", one of them spoke. " Now, this information that I'm  about to tell you is confidential. It's organized as a top clearance classification by the President and the Secretary of Defense of the United States of America. We were hired by General Scott Johanasson, a 4 star general in charge of a Covert Program Division called The Pluto Project. 

     The real reason why Pluto was renamed a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union in 2006, was to draw attention to it, by drawing attention away from it simultaneously. It caused people that studied Pluto to stop researching it, so they can argue and debate on how it should be classified. This is all the information we can tell you, you will be briefed on the rest of the situation when we get there." "Get where?", Rex questioned. They didn't respond. Rex folded his arms and slouched in his seat. "Can you tell me why I'm here then?" 

     "No, you will be briefed when we get there." "You guys just love to repeat yourselves, don't you?", exclaimed Rex. The car started to shake at a moments notice. It rattled and shook like an earthquake was trying to tip the car. Rex started to worry, and held on to the handlebars in the car. He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth together. The car sprouted wings from underneath the small steps on the outside of the car. They slowly opened up and clicked into place once they got into position. The driver looked into the rear view mirror and looked at Rex. "First time huh?", the driver chuckled. "Clearly", Rex quipped. The driver flipped a switch, turned a knob, and pushed a button, and the car stopped shaking.

 
     But the cars speed was accelerating at an exponential rate. Faster and faster it went, as Rex felt the G-Force pull him towards the floor, then he started to struggle to sit up straight but he couldn't do it. It was such an overwhelming sensation, like a roller coaster with massive 100 foot drops and loopty loops. The car lifted itself off of the ground, and began to fly. Rex was completely and utterly astonished. He looked out the window and saw the clouds draw closer, the smile on his face was a mile wide.
    

     "You are preparing to enter restricted air space, state your classification number and reason of visit", stated a voice in the speakers on the roof. "Classification code 3B4C2A, reason for visit is we have the package." All of a sudden, a massive bunker floating in the air, with numerous docking bays, windows, and tall towers on top appeared as if it was magic. It was definitely picture worthy. Rex had never known that there was anything like it in the whole world. His jaw dropped in amazement, as he tried to perceive what it was. The pilot grinned, and simply stated "Welcome to The Pluto Project Undercover Organization Headquarters."
