Tale: To the underground and up (Chapter 1)

Inside Souza Baranowski Center, there was what was supposed to be the regular lunch time for former scientist Eric Blair, but instead he was placed in the visitation center. Eric was not sure what was going on as his trial stated that he will not be allowed to be visited. But as Eric sat down he saw the the person visiting him was not just some family member who managed to warm a few hearts.

Above him in the vents there were Willie Frazier and Don Hall, they watched as Eric and the strange person chatted, trying their best not to set off one of the many alarms in the tiny space.
"What's he saying" Don asked, unable to look down through the grate.
"It appears that our target is either being interrogated or black mailed, the look's on his face is making it hard to tell" Willie answered.
"Is any information being leaked?" Don asked.
Willie tried to listen closer. "No, it… I think he's being offered some sort of weird choice."

Before Don could ask anything, Eric and his "visitor" got up from their chair as they put their phones down, Eric was then escorted by one of the guards. But as Willie and Don followed him they realized he was not being brought back to his cell, they were in a garage of sorts where Eric Blair was being placed in an armored truck which did not resemble a police vehicle of any kind.
"Crap, looks like we lost plan A and B" Don whispered.
Willie pressed on his ear piece. "Gray flight, do you copy?"
Their getaway vehicle driver picked up his radio transmitter. "Copy, what's your status"?
"Target Alpha has been placed in some kind of armored truck, we'll try to reach you but if you see it leave forget us and follow it" Willie stated.

The sack that was covering Eric's face was finally removed after what felt like at least a day, he saw that he was in an office and in front of him was a strangely mysterious man.
"I'm guessing this is the way you bring every new person?" Eric Sarcastically asked.
"Well, the whole head bag cover is usually done to our less potential workers" The man said.
Eric realized he was not tied to his chair, "I'm guessing you trus-" He tried to say.
"How much you're trusted is none of your concern" The man interrupted him.
"I was told I would be given a chance to perform research here" Eric echoed from his previous "interview".
The man chuckled. "Yes, that's the idea. This foundation was very intrigued about your 'illegal' research, especially the 'uranium beer'."
Eric chuckled. "I was informed all my papers were burned by the cops."
The man then showed him a page. "We were able to acquire some of your papers for you, but you might not need them anymore."
Eric sighed. "Look I already figured that whatever this shady group is are already fucked up enough with this whole 'legal kidnapping' thing, so just tell me when I get started before you inject me with weird needles."
The strange man smiled. "Good, because you'll be starting right now."

Outside of a heavily guarded gate, Willie and Don were looking through their binoculars at the place.
"I spot at least four sniper towers" Willie said.
"Every truck seems to be thoroughly checked, both of the drivers and it's content." Don said.
"It seems like whatever this place is there's more of it underground, your best bet might be a fake ID and a guard suit." Their briefer said over radio.

About an hour later an armored truck pulled over the gate.
"ID's please" The guard asked for, the two masked personnel gave him their ID's, their truck was then checked clean by the guard, and they were let through.
"Now the question is which way we can go through without attracting to much attention" Willie said.
"I guess we could try to disguise ourselves as someone who's more able to walk freely." Don thought as they both were alone in a locker room. However as they were looking through each of the lockers they were suddenly knocked out, when they woke up they were tied to chairs in front of a young woman holding a knife.
