[NRPG: (In Schwartzenegger Voice) Remember when I told you new mission would begin next week? I lied.]
> In the Team Zulu office, Jenny greeted him with a smile. "Martin Reed. I'm > here to see Special Agent Stern.", he said, "I believe he is expecting me."
"He's in the office," Jenny replied standing up and walking around her desk, "Come this way."
She led the way into an open office with desks along both walls. At the back of the room, at a desk by the windows, a man sat looking through a file.
"Jordan," Jenny said, "This is SA Martin Reed."
Jordan stood and shook his hand, "Welcome to ZULU. UD Garrison told me to expect you."
"It's good to be here, Agent Stern."
"Have a seat," Jordan said gesturing to the chair next to the desk as he sank into his, "I'd tell you to pick a desk, but there's only one empty one, so it's yours. Feel free you move some stuff in and make it look like home."
"I will."
"So, tell me a little about yourself."
[NRPG: Krister add anything you'd like here.]
A phone rang, and Jordan looked at his desk phone oddly. It rang again, and Martin paused in the story he was telling Jordan.
The senior agent stood up an walked over where his jacket was hung up as the phone rang again, and he pulled his cell phone out of his pocket. "Hello," he said as he sat on the edge of his desk.
[Jordan, this is Tom.]
"Tom! It's been a while. How are you?"
[We have to talk.]
"We are talking."
[Not like this. We have to meet in person.]
"Why?"
[I found it. I have it.]
"What do you have?"
[The holy grail.]
"Tom, I don't understand."
[Remember the problem. The connection that always escaped us?]
"Yeah, I remember."
[I've had it, Jordan. I've used it.]
Reed looked at him oddly when his jaw dropped and worked for a moment.
"Where and when?"
[Steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 20 minutes.]
Jordan glanced at his watch, "Give me 30 with traffic."
[Ok, bye.]
Jordan hung up the phone and slipped it back in his pocket. He pulled his jacket off the hanger and shrugged it on. "Agent Reed, we'll have to continue this later."
Jordan headed for the door, leaving Martin staring after him.
NRPG:
Thus begins the next mission. I decided to split my massive post in
two, and give you all just a taste. Details will be revealed in the
next post. This mission will hint at the existance of extra-
terrestrials on Earth. In addition this mission will not be and
assignment. ZULU will be operating outside the system.
Krister: Feel free to interact with the rest of the team in the office.
All: At the end of my next post Jordan will gather up the troops. I need a touch of patience, I think it'll be worth it.
Respectfully submitted,
Alton Reich
SA-4 Jordan Stern, Team Leader ZULU
