Fan Fiction ❯ Traitor to Unatco ❯ Arrival ( Chapter 6 )
If anything was wrong with the last chapter it is probably because I started writing it at 2:30 am.

I woke up just before we landed. "So, where are we landing anyway?" I looked out the window; there was nothing except for desert and rocks. I could see the city in the distance. I remembered from a history class that this had been part of the city and it was bombed and completely destroyed in a war that happened a few years ago. Probably why what is left of Hong Kong is in a state of disorder and two rival gangs are in control of different parts of it.
"I sent the NSF a message and they gave me coordinates. We will be there in ten minuets. There was also a change of plans and I'm supposed to go in and work with you. Once we are inside we will have to find this Jack Smith guy, who is supposed to be the project director. He will probably be in the labs. Once we get a canister of Ambrosia the pilot that you were going to hire back at the Tavern, Jock will pick it up. Him and JC. Are both working for the NSF now."
"Well that's good news, I said. At least they can't send him after me now."
Yeah y- he was cut off by a beeping sound from the control panel. Jet pressed a button and a loud voice came out of a speaker.
"Send us your papers, Sultan Bey."
"Right away." I took out a disk inside the envelope, put it inside the helicopter computer, and sent them the files inside it.
"Alright everything seems to be in order, prepare to land."
An enormous rock lifted up revealing a place to land. Jet landed on the cement, the ground started to shake and move. It was starting to slowly lower us into the facility.
When we got to the bottom a man walked out to meet us, with a group of guards following him, as well as mechanics. The man had long brown hair, and green eyes. I could tell from his accent that he was not from Hong Kong. It sounded like he was from New York.
"Welcome, Sultan Bey, Fredrick Rodriguez, I am Jack Smith. You will be working as my assistant Mr. Bey. Mr. Hisst you will take over as head of security, thank you for coming all this way it was so unfortunate that the last one died."
"How did that happen? Did one of the gangs controlling Hong Kong raid the place, I asked him?"
He looked at Jet, stared straight into his eyes then said, "No." That was his only response. It may have been my imagination but I think Jet went white with fear as Smith said that. He clapped his hands together. "Now, follow me, we will show you around the facility."
The tour was pretty boring, no sign of any Ambrosia and we looked at so many rooms that this was the only time that I got to see most of them.
"Almost every room in this building has either a camera or a turrent mounted on the ceiling, Smith said. An alarm will sound if the camera sees a face that is not registered into the main computer. But not to worry yours are added already, and they are password protected. It would take a very skilled hacker to find the password to add or remove any."
An hour later we were in the main computer room. I managed to sneak away and plant a bug on the computer that would allow me to hack into it from my laptop. We passed Smiths room and he showed us the barracks and the shooting range.
We watched some of the guard's practice. I smiled, most were pretty lousy shots.
"Jet smiled, I'm going to have fun showing off my marksmanship skills here."
"Just don't give them any lessons."
Hours later after our tour of the facility and getting some work done we were led to our room. It was pretty big, 2 rooms, a kitchen, and a living room with a TV in it. I made some dinner for myself, Jet had gone to bed as soon as we got inside, he had not slept for two days. Before I went to my room to go to bed Jet came out of his room and asked how I think that the last head of security might have died.
"I don't know, he probably find out where they keep the Ambrosia or stole some of it. You can become very rich very fast with a cure for the plague."
"You're making me feel so much better Sultan."
"I noticed he was talking quietly probably afraid that the room was bugged. Don't worry about it this should be easy we just steal a sample and get out of here!"
"Sultan! He looked up in alarm. This place could be bugged."
"It is. One in my room, one in yours, and one on the living room, but I reprogrammed them so it sounds like we are sleeping right now. I laughed I had scared him half to death. I'll turn them back on tomorrow. You should get some rest tomorrow we will have to start looking for the Ambrosia."
"Shouldn't we wait a little longer, he asked?"
"No I have a bad feeling, I don't like this Smith guy. I want to get the hell out of here as soon as we can. If we work fast we should be fine"
"Yeah your right Sultan."
Later that night I activated my cloak biomod and sneaked past a few of the guards and bugged Smith's phone. I saw him sleeping on the couch it took all my self-control to stop me from killing him right there. I went back into my room and hid my laptop, crossbow, sword, and the rest of my equipment in drawers or under the couch. If things kept going like this then this mission should be easy. Then since I was already in Hong Kong I could spend the $20,000 however I wanted and could take more jobs from Tong.
Little did I know things were about to get much more complicated.
