On a dark metallic room laid Mr. Meyer, his fas face was bloodied and disfigured. Large bleeding gashes covered most of his body.
"Where is the child?!" screamed a man while punching him once again across the face.
Mr. Meyer quietly looked at the man and then directed his glance over to the two other figures in the room. The tall elegant woman called Zamira was there currently drinking some tea while the reptilian was sitting next to her quietly observing the scene.
Suddenly the reptilian man slowly stood up from the chair and approached Mr. Meyer, he got very close to him and whispered to his ear.
"Youu know theeerrre is not muchhhh yooou can dooo. Right?" he stopped and separated himself from the man leaving about 10 inches between their faces. Mr. Meyer could smell the rancid smell of the reptilian entering his nostrils.
"Weee willl find hiiim. We aaaaaalwaysssss do." The reptilian was exuding an intimidating presence. Mr. Meyer felt like he was standing in fornt of some apex predator ready to jump a bite his head off. The sharp teeth of the humanoid suddenly captured his attention.
The reptilian noticed his attention and a smile creeped on his face. "Mr. Meeeeeyer, I respect yooouu. IIII think youuur endeavouur isssss futile. But I resssspect you. Youuurr order is so diminishhhed I am almost sure that weeee faced most of yooouu today."
The reptilian turned around while looking at Zamira and continued "Yooou stillll managed to fiiiind the chiiiild firsssst. Congratulationsss. Now give it up."
"Our hungerrrrr for huuuman flessssh might growww as our patience diminishesss" Suddenly he snapped at Mr. Meyer, his face was very close. He almost bit his nose off on the last phrase.
Mr. Meyer expression was unfazed, he fixed his eyes on Zamira once again and them back on the reptilian.
Pfft
A large spit filled with blood landed on the reptilians scaly face
"When the tables turn I will look for you. You and that old worm you call father." then he went quiet again.
The reptilian kept his face even closer to Mr. Meyer and liked the blood from his face. A maniac smile was on his face.
"Verrryy wellll. No mooore playiiing niccccee." He turned around and picked a large knife form a table with many tools. He then slowly walked over to Mr. Meyer,
"I've hearrrd that scaaaalping issss a sssspecially painful exxxxpeeerience. Shallll weee trrry?" he firmly grabbed Mr. Meyer by the hair and pulled back on his head. He them proceeded to place the sharp tool on the base of the mans hair line.
Arrrrrgh!
Suddenly someone entered the room. A man dressed in the characteristic uniform entered the room and bowed.
"Whaaat issss it?! I said IIII wasss not supposssed to beee botthereed!" On a swift movement the reptilian man was looming over the bowing figure. The knife on his claws was now pointing a the messengers head.
"Commander Tzeker, we have found and entrance to a passage way, our team is currently clearing it. It seems that it is the way the boy took." The man said while still bowing.
"Thatsss iiit?! You have botherrred me becaussse youu found a holeeee?!"
The reptilian was now looming over the bowing man. His voice was growing more and more acute as his mood started to turn for the worse
"We... We also found some blood."
A deep silence filled the room. Mr. Meyer lifted his face with a look of terror, a deep cut was visible at the base of his hair line. He fixed his eyes on Zamira. She was also looking in his direction but quickly sifted her gaze towards the messenger.
"Can you confirm the blood belongs to the child?" She was now standing up, with her left hand she elegantly placed the tea cup on the small table and then walked to the man by the door.
"You know that we where not to be interrupted, if this is a false alarm there will be negative consequences." she said while giving the man a sharp look.
"We are currently running test on it. The levels of Dimethyltryptamine are off the charts. We are running DNA test to compare it with the hair samples we got form the room."
Dimethyltryptamine is a substance that is naturally found in humans body, specifically in the pineal gland. The reptilians had found a direct correlation between this substance and the spiritual capabilities that characterized the ones like Charlie, the so called vessels.
Tzekers face changed, suddenly a wide smile crossed his face.
"Veryyyy well... very weelllll" He started walking out the door. "Taaake meee to theeee laaab III waaant to seee the tesssst." He quickly gave the knife to Zamira as he walked.
Zamira stood where she was for a second, but for her it seemed like an eternity. Many thoughts where crossing her mind.
"Is it possible?" she muttered under her breath
"Please don't do this." cough cough
Mr. Meyer was now speaking directly to her, his only visible eye was fixed on her. "We have a chance Zamira..."
"Take the prisoner back to his cell. Don't let him die yet, we might need more information from him." she said while looking at the soldier that was originally beating Mr. Meyer.
"Yes captian" the man answered with a firm stance.
Zamira proceeded to walk out of the room. She wanted to catch up to Tzeker. She wanted to see the test by herself.
Outside the metallic vessel the environment was all filled with ice, the ship was going very fast. The whites, blues, and blacks where reflecting over its shiny cover.
"AH157 approaching base, requesting permission to enter" spoke a woman sitting behind a series of screens.
"AH157 has permission to enter." replied a robotic sounding voice over the coms.
The large metallic vessel that looked like an upside down soup plate suddenly stopped over a large clearing in the ice. The water under it looked perfectly calm, almost like a mirror.
In the distance a polar bear and its cubs stopped to watch the metallic object as it slowly disappeared under the surface of the water.
