Chapter 20 - welcome wagon

The flight from Esterrac to Fideiram only took about 40 minutes. Carol wasn't very pleased with the flight experience she had.

"You... Are .. the worst pilot ever,blegh," she shouted before showing me champagne she had been drinking before the flight. "I told you not to drink and drive, this isn't my fault," I replied while returning the jet to oil.

My other self's unconscious body dropped to the floor as the oil returned to my hand. "So where is everyone?"

I had landed the plane in an abandoned airport somewhere in the heart of the Fideiram continent. At least that's what it seemed like until a very familiar looking group of military trucks surrounded us.

A military officer followed by 4 soldiers slowly made their way with several rifles aimed at us from the 6 trucks they had encircled us with.

"Well now, your jet didn't have any kind of communication device installed, so we thought we would swing by and say hello but there is no jet," the officer shouted as he got about 3 feet away. He glanced over at my unconscious body laying on the floor, then gave me a concerned look. " Wait a minute! Are you with that guy ?" He shouted at me from an arms distance. " Dude what the hell are you so riled up about I just got my ass beat by that dude because I look like him. I don't know his deal that's why we're here, to let you figure out what he wants." I replied.

Carol jumped in and slowly pushed me away from the officer, he glanced at her then got suddenly surprised before standing up straight to salute her. " Ma'am, sorry ma'am I didn't see you, stand down," he shouted as he turned around and waved his arms in an x over his head.

That's alright, tell the commander that I'm here and take that guy to a lock up but make sure he stays asleep." She said before ushering me to follow her into the same truck the officer stepped down from. "Now the real fun begins," she said as she drove into an old bunker. " So that version of me is kinda a big deal around here I take it," I asked curious because of the officers reaction. " Yeah we've been hunting him down for a little over 5 years now and you took him down in one go my secret weapon," she was smiling and it made me smile. The abandoned airport turned out to be a disguise meant to hide CMPs underground base. We drove into an elevator that took us down 30 floors and it was a nice view, all of their jets were like something out of a scifi action movie. "Welcome to CMP Chris"
