Chapter Eighteen

“What in the hell is cloak gear?” Steve asked, looking at the ascending digital numbers above the elevator door, while also adjusting the bulletproof vest across his chest. “I mean, I know that it makes you invisible, but what else does it do? How in the hell do we get around it?”

Neil swallowed and tightened the bulletproof vest across his chest too. “That suit came off the alien craft we found in the ocean. The material it’s made from cannot be found on Earth. Anyway, when activated, the suit duplicates the images around it. The wearer blends in perfectly with his surroundings. Hell, the guy could be standing next to you, and you’d never see him.”

“Wow, if you could find a way of duplicating this suit, you could have invisible soldiers, aircraft, missiles, vehicles, and tons of other stuff. Hell, the enemy wouldn’t know anyone was coming until they were attacked.”

Neil glanced over at Steve and smiled. “Now, you’re beginning to see what is at stake here. You cannot even detect someone wearing cloak gear with radar or infra-red. Hyper sensitive equipment will not detect this suit either. We’re sitting ducks to someone wearing that thing.”

Steve shook his head. “What about those electric gloves? Can these bulletproof vests provide some kind of insolation?”

“Not really. However, that fool could have a gun on him. It never hurts to be careful. However, I don’t think it will come to that. We’ve trapped this animal in the service elevator. When the doors open, we’ll blast him. He can’t escape because the power has been cut to everything on that floor. An entire squad of security officers will meet us there. It’s almost over.”

Steve shook his head. “I’ve heard that before.”

The main elevator doors opened. Steve and Neil stepped out into a dark hallway. Almost instantly, four SWAT team members in full tactical gear raced past them and ran toward the elevator at the end of the hallway.

“Come on, they may need our help!” Neil yelled.

“Sure, why not!” Steve replied, withdrawing his gun and dashing toward the mounting activity at the other end of the hallway. “One thing though, if he’s invisible, how will we know if we’ve killed him? I mean, he could just walk past us.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve already made plans for that possibility.”

“Whatever…” Steve whispered to himself. He then squatted down behind a line of SWAT officers facing the elevator and aimed his gun in that direction.

Neil quickly crouched down and cocked his automatic weapon before turning to face the door as well. “Freddie, when the elevator opens, flood the chamber with the black paint. The rest of you keep firing until I give the order to stop, understand?”

They all nodded, and the man holding the paint gun braced for the action that was surely to begin shortly.

The lights dimmed as a power surge swept through the building. The energy systems on this side of the complex had been diverted to another area for extra precautions. Also, the doors leading to this hallway had been locked too.
