[2:15 p.m. Richardson's Cabin]
After informing Mr. and Mrs. Richardson that they were leaving, and would contact them if they needed anything further, Team Delta got in their respective cars and drove back to their cabins. September had been on the move since she got off the plane and she was tired and hungry. She took out a cereal bar from her bag and began to eat.
"Do you want one?"
"What is that?"
"A cereal bar. It's very good."
"That's not food, that's something you eat on the way to getting real food, when you just can't wait to eat."
September started to laugh, "Well, this will do until I can get a steak in me."
[World's End State Park]
The drive wasn't very long and before they knew it, they were at the cabins. Kate got out first and walked up to the cabin with September behind her.
"September, I forgot to tell everyone about Docker."
"No problem, I'll do it."
"Okay, I'm gonna check our room again."
September walked out of the cabin over to the two other cabins where the rest of Team Delta was staying. She knocked on the door.
"Come in", someone shouted.
"Hi, we forgot to tell you, but it appears that the ranger you met last night. . ."
"You mean the one that took the agent to the hospital?" Sharlyn interjected.
"Yes, but he's not a ranger. He's a killer by the name of Docker, highly dangerous and watching us."
"Watching us?" Dinah said.
"You mean not only are we being followed, we're being watched too ?, Sharlyn said.
"Yeah, Kate got some information from someone at the Bureau and this Docker person is some sort of assassin. Kate and I checked our room before we met you guys at the Richardsons and found all sorts of recording equipment, I suggest you do the same."
"So this guy's a voyeur, huh?" Sharlyn said.
"Yeah, you could say that."
"Allright. Well, Mr. Docker you'll be missing a lot of action tonight." Dinah said grinning.
September laughed as she explained that she had to go tell the guys. She walked out of the cabin and knocked on Newt and Flynn's cabin door.
"Yeah", someone yelled from within the cabin, "Oh, hi, what's going on?" Newt asked.
"I just came by to tell you that Kate found out through someone at the Bureau that Docker isn't a forest ranger after all. He's an assassin and he's watching us. We already checked our cabin and it was full of microphones and cameras, I think you'd better check your cabin too."
"Will do. Btw, I hope you don't mind me asking, but, what kind of a name is September? Isn't that a month?"
"Yeah, I know. I didn't pick it, my parents did and they won't even give me a straight answer."
The two agents laughed and September walked back to her cabin.
"Okay, Kate, I've warned everybody about Docker. Let me ask you a question. Do you believe what the maid said about the boy being abducted by aliens?"
"We don't have enough information to make that determination yet."
"Well, I'm gonna go take a look at the forest and see what I can find. It's still light out, maybe I'll come across something. You wanna come?"
"Sure, but I want to check the cabin again and make sure I didn't miss anything. Plus we all have to sit down and discuss this. We're getting nowhere, just hitting brick walls."
"Okay, I won't go to far, I'll meet you out there."
"Let me ask you a question September, do you believe the maid's story?"
"I have a hard time believing that a few people turn up missing and aliens are the cause. There's got to be a rational explanation for all of this."
[Woods]
September opened the cabin door and closed it behind her. She stood in the doorway, looking out. "Here goes nothing", she said out loud and began walking into the forest. Nothing appeared out of the usual. Squirrels running up trees, birds chirping, grasshoppers hopping. It was quite serene. She walked further in and noticed that up ahead there seemed to be a clearing. She took a few more steps and out in the distance she saw it. A stretch of land had been cleared.
"That's strange", she said out loud. Why would they clear this piece of land without clearing a place for vehicles to enter? There's no way in except by foot. Hmmmm . . ." The patch of land was enormous, and in the far distance there stood a black building. "A black building in the middle of the forest? That would be virtually impossible . . . ". Before she finished saying the sentence out loud, she ran back to the cabin. The team of agents were all outside looking at September strangely as she came running towards them.
"I found a clearing. It's huge and there's a large black building on the site."
"Black building?" Flynn asked, "A black building in the middle of the forest. That's ridiculous, that would be impossible . . ."
"I know, impossible to see at night."
