Close Contact

An AH-1Z Super Cobra helicopter descended slowly and landed in front of a huge square building located deep in the forest.

Two soldiers with the rank of colonel held on to their caps and came forward beneath the furious wind stirred up by the propellers.

"Sir Murphy, welcome back."

Behind the soldiers were two staff members in white coats. As Murphy walked out of the helicopter, several people shook hands with him and then the two colonels searched his body as per protocol and scanned him with a detector. After confirming that Murphy did not carry any electronic equipment or weapons with him, they turned and left.

"Did anything happen when I wasn't around in the past two days?"

Murphy walked through the lead Faraday barrier and asked quickly, "Did Adam detect any changes?"

"It's business as usual."
