CHAPTER 12

The plane finally rolled to a halt much to Jake's relief. The stewardess walked up to Jake's seat and informed him that he could now exit the plane. Standing up, he grabbed his bag out of the overhead compartment and slung it over his shoulder. Putting on his hat he walked down the center aisle of the plane toward the door. One of the pilots was already standing there opening the door. He looked up and smiled at Jake. "Welcome to Area 51 soldier." He opened the thick door. Stepping on to the stairs, Jake was assaulted by the scorching heat of the Nevada desert. At the bottom of the stairs stood several men dressed in black fatigues. Reaching the bottom Jake snapped to attention and saluted. "Lt. Jacob Silver reporting for duty, Sir." Davis had given him a crash course in military etiquette and chain of command. Scanning the symbols on the man's collar he knew that he was a Major.

The Major saluted and stepped forward extending his hand. Jake grabbed it and shook it. "Glad to have you here Lieutenant. I'm Major Jason Griggs, I'll be your CO." Letting go of Jake's hand he turned and pointed to his men. "This is Lt. Steve Harris, my second in command." Jake stepped around and shook his hand. Harris was a tall man, though not as broad as Jake. His cleanly shaven face and red hair shone in the sunlight. "Pleasure to meet you, Sir." Jake knew even though they were the same rank, Harris was still his superior officer.

Griggs pointed past Harris to the next man in line. "This is Private First Class Jack Lansinger." Lansinger saluted Jake. Jake returned the salute then shook his hand. Lansinger was a tall wiry man. He had shortly cropped blonde hair and a dark goatee. "Next in line is PFC. Dan Altone." Altone saluted. He was larger than Lansinger, but not by much. He was built with dark skin, dark curly hair, and steely blue eyes. "And finally PFC. Wendy Black." Black saluted then shook Jake's hand. She was a thin woman with wire framed glasses and short blonde hair. "Now that you know the team Lieutenant Silver, let's get to work. First things first, we've gotta get you out of that uniform."

"Why is that, Sir?"

"Because the top brass don't really like anyone on the base walking around in their dress blues. We have Russian birds fly over this place at least once every few hours that can easily spot a man in uniform."

Jake knew he was talking about spy satellites. "Yes Sir."

The group of men started to walk off the tarmac toward the main hangar. Lansinger jumped out in front and opened the door. Griggs nodded and walked inside. Jake was the last one through the door. Taking a step into the hangar, Jake found himself in awe of the sheer size of it. It looked to him to be carved straight out of the mountain itself.

Griggs stepped back and grabbed Jake by the arm.
