Meanwhile, somewhere, a metallic voice got heard and a metallic hand was pointing at a ring on the monitor.
“I need to get this ring.” he said.
“Sir, we tried everything but the security measures are too heavy.” one of the two persons on the floor answered.
“You haven’t tried hart enough to get it.” the voice replied in an harsh tone.
“We did everything we could do.” said the other person with trampling voice.
The silhouette of the voice was getting clearer now but still you can’t see anything of his face. It was a tall silhouette with wide shoulders and a muscles and strong body. The only part of his body to be seen were his hands. They were in metallic cloves.
“You disappointed me.” the voice said. “Again!”
“Sir, it isn’t our fault. The security ….”
“Silence!” ordered the metallic voice. “You two disappointed me the last time. Leave me! I will get the ring by myself. Prepare my horse, I go there tonight!”
Lightning’s were striking in the darkness, thunder were roaming through the air and rain poured down. The two soldiers were standing in their hut at the entrance of the cave which they should protect as they heard the noise of a horse. One of the soldiers stepped outside to see what it was.
“Stop! Military area! You are not allowed to enter!” yelled the soldier in the darkness. Nothing responded. Silence. “Must be a hallucination!”
“Who was it?” asked the other soldier.
“Don’t know. There was nobody outside.” replied the other one.
A shadow flashed past the window. “You saw this?” asked one of the soldiers. “Yeah! I did.” They loaded their gun. One of them went out of the hut and looked around.
“You see someone?” asked the soldier in the hut. “No!” answered the soldier outside. “There is … STOP! Military area you have no right … Argh…”
“What happened?” asked the other one but the soldier outside didn’t answer. Full of fear but although in the knowledge of what he had to do now he activated the transceiver. “Here is Area 34! Here is Area 34! Berlin can you hear me?”
“We hear you Area 34. What’s the matter?”
“Don’t know. My partner went out for an ordinary security check. He doesn’t return by now.”
“Are you under attack?”
“No, Sir!”
“Is someone knocking at the door?”
“Yes, Sir!”
“Open the door, Area 34.”
“Yes, Sir!”
Slowly and the gun in firing position, he went to the door and opened it slowly. “Who is there?” he asked as he stared in the darkness. Suddenly he heard a metallic voice behind him which said: “Your darkest nightmare.”
Before the soldier could defeat himself it was dark in the hut. After a muffled scream it was silent too. Dark and silent. Only the noise of the transceiver and a voice filled with fear was coming out of it and filled the air. The voice spoke nervously into the transceiver: “AREA34! AREA 34! Please respond! AREA 34! AREA 34! … Sir, we’ve got a problem.”
