"hey um you guys mind showing me your IDs more specifically military" he said just wanting confirmation of them being who they say they are

Angela looked up at stylus and then at the two men "dear.. Just leave them be it's okay we can trust them. "

"fine" he said agreeing with her hesitantly

She gave him a questioning look before turning her attention back to the window

Sylus grabbed her hand reassuring that every thing would be fine as she did to him

She squeezed his hand gently as a sign of appreciation

Sylus was sitting in the middle seat watching the road ahead

Angela pipped up after about half an hour. "I'm excuse me where exactly are we?"

Sylus put his hand on her thigh as one of the men spoke up nervously and said "we're almost there"

She stiffened at the feeling of his hand and turned her attention to the driver "t-thank you.."

(I meant his thigh I guess I didn't catch it I guess we're rolling with it) Sylus looked down noticed he put his hand on her thigh on accident meaning to put it on his so he would be ready to pull his gun if something were to happen

(lmao)

Angela just continued to look out the window. Not really. Sure what else to do.

The vehicle came to a stop in front of a big one way glass relative side on the outside of the tower then Sylus got out behind his wife

Angel stepped out of the car she could feel her heart pounding against her chest as she looked at the building towering over over them

Sylus grabbed her hand "I'm right here by your side"

She took a deep breath and nodded "okay… Let's do this."

Sylus took lead as they walked together through the door then flashed his badge at the secretary then she pointed to the oracle command room

Angela walked with him quietly not really making eye contact with anyone there

Sylus took his respective seat at the table

Angela sat next to him quietly

Sylus kept tapping on the table impatiently

Angela watched her lap sitting quietly as she waited for something to happen she was nervous, she knew exactly what this was about she knew they were going to to be asking them to leave

Three other teams had also shown up about the same age as our heros different ethnicities though one Mexican team and one from the United Kingdom

Angela looked over at stylus a bit worried "why are there two more groups?"

"must be an international crew that they lost up in the great beyond" he said with mild sarcasm knowing that what he just said was most likely the truth

Angela flinched a little at his words and looked back down at her lap

"Don't worry they look like old era troops like us so at least we have that much but all we do is wait until a general shows up" he said then put his hand on top of hers in an attempt to comfort her

Angela nodded and glanced up at him for a moment with a small attempt at a smile

Four well dressed men walked in leading the way for the general of operations at the facility then the general took a seat "I would like to thank you all for coming on such short notice as you might know by now one of our expedition teams went offline as of last night leaving a disturbing message before doing so" he said as he played the message only screeching and clawing sounds could be heard while one of the team members were saying her finals words before what sounded like she got torn to shreds

Angela squeezed sylus's hand staring at the recorder in fear and she whispered "sylus…. I don't like this."
