Simple Day at The Office

Our assignment was to head out to a base camp bringing supplies. This couldn't be any, better of a day! We lifted a few crates into a Jeep, and head out to the gate. Once we arrived, Jack told security we were dropping off supplies, he let us through and we were off.

We were about almost a mile to the camp, and smoke appeared in the trees. Like some small little whisp, of smoke. Not too much. I alerted Jack, who (was driving) stopped the car. We stepped out, M16 in our hands, and walked towards the smoke. Turns out, a campfire had been put out. "Maybe it was some civi's (civilian) camp. Boy scouts? Maybe lost." Jack said abruptly.

"Radio it in. Tell 'em it's a camp." He walked away, as I motioned to the camp, slowly. A tent or two sitting, almost broken. "Hello!" I yelled out to the human construct in front of me, "This is private property, I urge to leave now, or face a punishment!"

Nothing.

Just Silence.

"Ay, Kevin!" I heard, I had a bit of a jump, but I didn't show it, luckily. It was Jack.

"Hm?" I queried.

"Alpha says we have permission to look

about."

I look towards the camp again, testing anyone

who dares to mess with us.

"Go check that tent, I'll check this one."

"Alright."

When I told him, to check a blueish, yellow

tent, I didn't mean to check the woods. He

wandered off on me. Damn him.

"Jack! The hell you doing?" I called out.

"Hold up!" He replied.

The nerve. I continued rummaging through

the run down tent, only to find nothing,

but a pocket knife that was more than likely

given to a boy for his 13th birthday. Poor

kid... I took the knife and went over to Jack,

who, happened to be crouched down,

looking at the ground.

"A new find?" I asked.

"Nah, just a few tracks. Whoever was here, is

gone now. We can send a group of seekers

after them. Escort them if neccessary." Jack

was quick to his feet, and onto the radio.

I could overhear him saying something

about packaging, and seekers.

Then they said to return home...
