They arrived in Langley shortly after and were sent to an empty office as they waited for the head of operations to be ready for their appointment.
The room was deathly silent as everyone was still processing what had just happened in the past day, other than James who was back to reading his newspaper and whistling a soft tune. As the time passed the teens got increasingly nervous and stressed but finally they were greeted by a kind face.
"I'm Ms. Miller the head of operations but you can call me Teresa". She said happily and she extended out her hand.
"Sorry for the wait, I've been pretty busy as usual" Teresa added.
"Hello, I'm Cruze" Cruze stuttered.
"I'm Wyatt"
"And I'm Riley"
"Teresa" James nodded without looking up from his paper.
"Hello James" Teresa said with no emotion.
Clearly they had a past, Wyatt, Riley and Cruze all thought.
They were then rushed in to a meeting room where they were met by some more people who quickly introduced themselves. Then for the next ten minutes Cruze explained their story from start to finish with some comments from Wyattt and Riley helping Cruze with things he hadn't thought to say.
"You three have an interesting story" Teresa said amazed.
The three nodded.
"We are sad that Melissa couldn't join us today, but before she died she sent us a secret tape recording. I thought you three would want to see it." Teresa added.
One Day before nuclear blast.
Nuclear plant, Arlingon
1:39 pm
Video recording...
"To the person who finds this message. My name is Melissa Berk, I am an undercover CIA agent hired by the government. I am posing as a nuclear plant maintenance worker, to find out what's really going on at this plant. The government has been noticing unusual shipments coming through. My mission is to find what they are importing. I am making this video as proof to anyone who finds this that there is much more to this investigation. If you find this video please turn it in to the CIA immediately!"
"They know too much" One of the men said.
"That's why we need to follow the plan" The second man suggested.
"No, it's too risky. Hundreds of lives are at stake" The third man said.
"But what about all years of planning, you want us to just forget about it." One of them said.
"We need to act now" Another one added.
"Fine, but if we're tracked back to this, I will personally kill you both." One of them says, with no hint of lying.
"They've been having secret meetings, this whole week. I have not been able to find the location of these meetings. But today I got lucky." Melissa whispers into the camera.
"It seems like they're planning something, all I know is that it's happening tomorrow afternoon, and I need to figure out what's going on, before it happens." Melissa mumbles, before being interrupted by the men.
"Now, we have to keep quiet about this. No one can know. Ok?" The first man says.
"Yes sir" The two others reply in unison.
"I have to go process this all, so I'll be back to you in a bit." Melissa says, before clicking off the camera.
Nuclear plant, Arlington
3:20pm
Video recording...
"After going through some old security camera footage, I realized that every Thursday at 4 pm exactly, three white trucks enter the plant. Which doesn't really make sense since we don't get shipments that often." Melissa explains.
"I think this somehow has to do with what's going to happen on tomorrow. They're trying to cover their footprints, but they're not going to get away with it."
"Luckily today is Thursday, so I'm going to see what's being imported in those trucks, I'll record soon telling you what I found" Melissa adds, before turning the camera off.
Outskirts of Arlington
6:23 pm
Video recording...
"I don't have a lot of time to explain all that I've learnt. They are coming after me,
I've managed to escape with an ATV, but they will soon find me and kill me.
I've learned four vital things that you and the CIA must know.
The trucks aren't importing equipment or anything like that, they are full of firearms. I mean the whole lot, AK-47's, RPG's, Machine guns. Etc
2. The nuclear plant is just a disguise for their firearm trafficking. I'm guessing that they've been importing these guns for over 3 months now.
3. Apparently their is a snitch in their operation so they're dropping the whole operation and you're not going to believe me, but they're going to cause a nuclear blast to wipe away all the evidence. I know it sounds crazy, they're going to put hundreds of lives at risk. But none of you are safe with this knowledge, please turn this in to the CIA IMMEDIATELY.
4. And finally The leader of all of this is Mr. Rodriguez, him and his associates need to be brought down. I have much more information to tell you but I do not have any time, they're on my tail. When you find this message seek out my partner who escaped before me, he is living in a shack in the middle of the woods, he will explain everything to you.
Goodbye my friend.
End of recording...
"Obviously we found the video before you three could, but hopefully this answers some of your questions"
James then spoke up for the first time in the meeting. "She was an incredible agent".
