The dream was different this time, the woman was not there, there was no fire, no
screaming. This time there was just laughter. Not the happy calm laughter of a funny joke, but
the hysterical booming laughter of a mad man; in the dream there was roach. He lay on the
ground with a knife through his shoulder. I finally found the source of the laughing it was from an
intercom that must be used to send messages into the lab.
“Dominus” Jonathan's eyes cracked open “Dominus!!” the voice shouted Jonathan got up in a
daze
“What now” he replied
“Our window it was wrong we have to leave now, shift change is now 0200” said roach in a
hurry
Jonathan looked at the clock which read as 1:15 am.
“Shit, let's go” said jonathan jumping to his feet
The team was assembled and they rode in two different jeeps. The team was only a few
men. Dominus was the co leader along with roach and they each had three men from the so
called ‘team six’ they reached the lab by 1:47, they had to move now, the two jeeps split apart to
hit the lab from both ends. It didn’t seem like much the lab looked like a grain silo that farmers
use but much larger. Jonathans team reached the east side. They waited. 0200 hit and a
predator missile struck the outside of the wall on the west side. Roaches team was a diversion
coming in with guns blazing, Jonathan's team went into the door which two guards had
abandoned posts at in order to see what the problem was on west side. Jonathan led the team
into the silo.
They were in but there happened to be a minor problem. There was nothing, the floor
was covered in hay and grain stalks. The mission was time sensitive and if they failed would
possibly be deadly to the entire team and even more. They searched around for something in
the silo but there was nothing to be found. All of a sudden one of the soldiers tripped.
“There's something here on the ground it looks like a vault” said the soldier
“Well open it you idiot” shouted Jonathan
The vault was opened and they looked down, inside was a dark stairwell made of
concrete. Jonathan led the team down the stair well. Once they reached the bottom there were
doors. Jonathan quietly and slowly opened the door. No one was there. They walked into what
seemed to be some sort of underground hospital. As they searched they found labs,
abandoned, broken glass , things thrown on the floor spills and messes. It seemed like the place
had been empty for months.
