It has been weeks since Robert and the family moved into the abandoned house.
Robert had the place fixed up and was ready to start a new life in this place.
There were no neighbors, just tall trees surrounding them.
Julia has been working a lot in the basement, preparing for the worst.
Robert has the place neatly fixed and has burglar bars put where needed.
Kathy has been well and has been back to her old- self. However, even though it has only been weeks Kathy,s appearances changed.
"Honey? Said Robert, walking down to the basement. He could smell his wife spray from
Far as"
"Leaning over the staircase looking down at her, he smiled at how busy she was"
Julia had not tied her hair, and she was wearing a pink strap top.
"Honey, he repeats."
"Yes, love?"
He now walked over to her folding his arms around her waist, and gently kissed her in the neck.
"You have been busy he says as he has his hand over her"
Julia now removes his arms from around her.
"Robert, not now we have work to complete."
"I am done upstairs says Robert smiling at his wife."
"Attempting to kiss her again, she pushes him
Away"
Robert now becomes annoyed at his wife pushing him away. He storms out of the basement as the door suddenly slams close behind him.
"Robert?"
"No response"
"Robert? screams Julia, still no reply."
Julia now walks towards the staircase. As she is on the third, the corner of her eye catches a glimpse of a shadow as she pulls her gun from the holster. Who is there?
No response as Julia slowly walks down.
"I am armed, and I would not hesitate to open fire."
"Still no reply."
"Julia feels her heart pounding as she moves across the basement."
Julia notices the window open as she moves closer.
She looks out and sees no one in sight.
"Just my imagination she says to herself."
Julia looks around at the basement. It has CCTV surveillance which she can see through the six monitor screens, beds and TVs and fridges, and plenty of canned food.
Julia has enough food to last the family for two months.
She unlocks the basement door as she looks upstairs, and Robert and Kathy are not there.
Julia rushes to the window and sees no sign of them Running outside and looking.
There is no sign of them as she looks around.
Julia rushes back inside as she goes down to the basement.
She playback all the cameras to the past hour. Forty minutes into the video, she notices four guys with masks sneaking into the house. The video is cut out after that. It is blank.No, she screams frantically, "placing her head in her hands."
Wiping her tears, she stands up and equips herself with sufficient ammunition.
"Heading outside, she looks around and sees no sign of them."
Julia climbs into the jeep as she attempts to start it. It won't startup. "This is not happening" Julia hits the steering wheel.
Heading back inside, she runs to the fridge grabs a glass of cold water.
How could this have happened?
Julia heads back down to the basement." she picks up the radio and gets hold of the head Quarters "this is Julia "yes, we know who you are, Mrs. Julia, "this is agent Jack.
Jack?" I never realized you were still working with the agency."
My family has been taken, and "I can,t get a location on them. The tracker in their clothes has been removed"
Agent S. Where is your location? Off coast Sahara.
We will set a chopper to get you. Please stay where you are and do not go anywhere.
"Julia now remembers the Jack she knew would never call her Agent S."
Agent S? Are you there? We are sending a chopper. Do you read me?
"Yes," Julia answers.
Julia switches off the radio.
She needs to leave this place before the chopper arrives.
Under the basement is a door leading the underground no one knew about this door except her and Her husband.
She grabs her laptop and as much luggage as she can as she then logs into the IP cameras using the satellite phone to hack into the cameras.
Julia then set a pressure explosive in the basement.
This is bigger than I anticipated, she says to herself as she logs into the satellite to try and track all movements in the last two hours in her surroundings.
Her dad is an ex-navy seal, and her mom, a marine, has taught Julia a lot in life. The experience she has from her training and her parents.
Julia was an Agent and a highly skilled whitehat hacker who could access any system.
The agency knew her skills and was afraid of the destruction she could cause should she find out they had this whole thing set up.
Julia logs into the headquarters IP cameras in the science labs and activates the microphone listening to them.
"If she finds out, she will come after us, frank."
A tall guy with a hat on hand in his right pocket smoking a cigar now paces forward to a frank
"That is why I hired you. Get this situation under control."
"Mr. Royal, what are we going to do with the girl?"
We need her to kill the father and leave no traces. She is one of few who has the antidote."
"Boss, if we kill him, Julia has a set of skills that can take this entire agency down."
"Then lock him away. We might need them "
Julia heard the name Royal. He was involved in the conspiracy of the mass murder in Afghanistan.
He got away from all charges. He is not only a close friend of the president but also a fearful person with a lot of money.
"Julia hears the helicopter on the outside. Looking over to the cameras, she sees eight; they do not look like they are there to pick her up."
"Boss, there is no sign of her?"
Search the whole house down; she has to be there somewhere.
The agents cover all areas in the house as the one agent notices a door to the basement, pointing to the other four soldiers behind him.
" She should be im here" Julia watches them from the camera as they trap in the door and open fire."
She is not here. They look around, surrounded by concrete dust. They can barely see anything.
"She is not here, he radios in, and just then, he traps on the pressure switch as the house explodes and everyone in it explodes."
"Julia is relieved."
She knows they would not harm her family because she knows the headquarters better than anyone else does.
"Julia climbs into the underground car."
She is picking up the radio and calling into the agency. Can I speak to Royal? There is silence on their end as she watches them on the camera. She can tell by the surprised look they never expected her to know Mr. Royal was there.
" Mr. Royal, I can tell by your expression you are surprised to hear from me. You were hoping that those guys you sent would have killed me by now
You do know If you do not release my family, you will regret it."
"Is that a threat, Julia?" Royal glances up at the camera; if you are coming after me, make sure you can finish the job."
I am a nice guy; however, therefore, I am willing to compromise if you turn yourself in, we can work together, and you can help us find the others who are immune to this virus, then we can let your daughter be free.
I know you have those special skills to do this, it is either that, or you will not ever see your family again.
"Julia now sets on a thirty-second timer."
Do you hear that?
"Yes, I do?"
What are you trying to scare me? He says,
"Thats the number of seconds you have to change your mind.
"Royal laughs"
Else what?
"Julia hears Jack pleading with him not to make an enemy of her"
Else what? Thirty seconds is up."
Royal laughs. Does she think she scares me?
Royal, an echo comes in the lab as they look around. Do you remember that mass murder you committed in Afghanistan?
"I could have killed you that day, but I chose to let you go, this time I will not have mercy on you, yes Royal, that reflection you saw when you covered your eyes it was me on a high mountain top about to place a bullet between your eyes. "
"You should have killed me when you had a chance, then he grins."
"Julia hangs up the phone."
Do you realize what you have started? Says Jack; Royal looks at Jack and smiles, you got a lot to learn.
