The helicopter pilot was the best of the best. He was able to bullet his Black Hawk helicopter thirty feet over ground and at two-hundred miles an hour at the same time. With hills, buildings, trees, and power lines in the way, the ride made a bumpy spectacle, equivalent to the entertainment of any park roller coaster.
That had been Director Fletcher’s plan for the exercise, a little gift, because things had gone wrong during the Hawthorne case. Most of the twelve soldiers on board stoically held their barf bags and had already lost their lunch after two minutes into the ride, and the rest was just fighting to keep it in.
This type of maneuver was called a low-fast-insertion, which kept the enemies’ radar blank during the journey and put the troops on the ground as fast as possible.
Black was looking forward to the exercise, even if it involved puking her heart out. But she had been there many times before, and this was not the real deal, but merely an exercise. So, all peachy!
“Agent Black?”
“Navigator? What’s up?”
“Distress at base. Lab breach. November Alpha Tango.” NAT, not a test.
“Pilot, turn around, rise to two-hundred and get us back there ASAP.”
“Aye, Agent.”
And the helicopter took the narrowest turn possible that made all passengers’ stomachs drop to their knees.
“Director for Agent Black. I’ll patch you through.”
There was a brief static pause, as far as static goes in a whopping and screaming helicopter.
“Black here. What’s the situation, Sir?”
“Lab two screwed up. They were just finishing up a test before lunch, and the glass lizard got away.”
“Found him yet?”
“We don’t dare without you guys around. The civil security guys did a quick infrared and microwave sweep of the rooms we could still access and the main floor to keep an eye on the evacuation, but no luck so far in spotting the beast. Full protocol is in place, all doors sealed. Only essential staff inside now. It can’t get out.”
“Out ETA is about five minutes. The kids are safe?”
“What kids?” Director Fletcher said. “Oh, shoot, the kids!”
Black switched off the com over to the pilot. “This thing can go any faster?”
“Got a date waiting for you, Agent?” the pilot said.
“I take it as a ‘No’”, Black sighed and watched the landscape race below her.
