Part 9

"I'd you suggested this." Dean paused,"but they're using it for this. Did you know they had plans?"

"No. I

Robert rounded the corner slamming into Dean. He winced embracing for the sour words from his colleague for such an error. There wasn't any. He still stood there frozen.

"What's wrong?"

"We found Laura." Dean stepped forward then to the side to give Robert room to see. She was slumped in an unnatural position.

"She must have fell and hit hard." Savannah offered unhelpful Robert could see there wasn't a place to fall where she was. He pointed it out, too, and she seemed more annoyed with that then finding her dead.

Dean, noticed, too. "How do we move her?"

"We aren't." Greg's voice made them jump. A scratchy sound followed his voice. Something stood next to Greg. It was not human or their tech.

Laura we found your aliens.

Both Dean and Robert went after Greg. The thing next to him flicked the! Away as if they weren't anything.

"Savannah run!" Robert yelled breathlessly. She didn't budge from her spot but moved toward Greg. She didn't flinch or anything getting close to the alien. It seemed more relaxed now that Savannah was standing there.

"Why did you do this?" Dean yelled.

"Our last trip we were promised the world of money." Savannah offered, "We just had to help kill the natives. Thanks to him, I call him Sam, we were given it. Now Sam needs our help getting rid of the humans."

"What about your kids?" Robert asked.

"The humans on this planet, dumbass."

"No, I mean how are you able to do this and show yourself to your kids?"

"They won't ever know."

Dean moved toward Laura. He grabbed something off of her body before jumping away. Robert ran toward Greg praying that Dean was doing what he was asking about. The alien slung him into the walls. He could no longer see as he worked toward them once again.

"We could offer to let you work with us." Savannah threw that out there. "But Robert keeps this up we are going to have to kill ya."

Scratchy noises and Savannah nodded. The three of them turned and left ignoring the two men. Robert went to chase after them but Dean stopped him.

A few moments later the caverns began to shake. Crash and crushing rocks fell around them.

"Now what?" Robert dropped next to Laura.

"I say call Hitching post tell them and they'll send a rescue." Laura answered

Robert screamed. "You are not dead?"

"Help me up."

"Wait are we all dead?" Robert asked not helping. Dean offered Laura a hand.

"I am very flexible. I used to work in a small circus that traveled through the United States and Canada. Sometimes we would travel to Mexico but not too often as our boss hated going home."

"I sent everything they said and did."

"How did they not remember that you film everything?" Robert asked.

"I am just glad you remembered that I did. Dean?"

He nodded, and starting working on sending it to the Hitching post. The earth shook once more jolting them around the space.

Laura huffed and cursed trying to resist falling.

"They're definitely not wanting to let us go." Robert grimaced as he pulled himself up. He stopped as if he worried he got up too soon. No movement so he loosened up. He decided to investigate further down the caves.

"I'd you suggested this." Dean paused,"but they're using it for this. Did you know they had plans?"

"No. I just wanted to find gold and to know more about this planet. They replied yet?"

"Not yet. Hopefully it means they're doing something to help."

'what happened to your first team?"

"What?'

"What went down previously? Your team all died, how? Was Greg or Savannah involved?"

"You know." Dean stopped talking and handed Laura her tablet. He then pulled out his. He quickly pulled up a roster of those who were there when his first team was. He tilted the screen so Laura could see what he was reading.

They were in fact there at the same time but in different groups. They were South and east teams. Both had been on groups that discovered gold. But they had larger teams and they split the gold. Those who had died were in different groups. Newly brought in a few weeks before dying.

"How did you like? How did they kill everyone but you don't remember them dying?" Laura stepped away from Dean. She had already discovered horribly what trusting someone got you. She was not going to do that again.

"I was at the Hitching post, getting a lift back to earth. I did not know or help. I just had to pay a steep sum of money to leave early. And, I did. I made a lot then so it wasn't too horrible. It wasn't until I landed on Earth that I found out.but they claimed mechanical failure not murder."

"Why did you leave?"

"Hey I found a thin tunnel." Robert said as he walked closer to them. His voice was but a whisper. He didn't know he had interrupted an interrogation. The two jumped and looked up at him.

"We can get out." He said calmly, and pointed toward where the exit was even though they couldn't see where it was at the moment.
