The uneasiness grew steadily worse as we drove.

The sun had gone down and there was no light save that of the cars highbeams, giving us a glimse of the dirt road and of the trees.

Suddenly we stopped. Literally everything in the car stopped. Radio, engine, lights everything just turned off. Only dim moonlight gave illumination, just enough to see.

"What the hell just happened!" I said turning to Rebecca. "F---," she had disappeared, no longer there.

"F---F---F---" I opened the glove compartment and searched for something to help. There was a flashlight (for some reason it didnt work), a .45 caliber pistol, a candle, matches and a stake. I light the candle and searched the rest of the car. There was a briefcase full of papers and odd pictures, and a shotgun with a shoulder strap. Taking the briefcase, I slung the shotgun over my shoulder, put the pistol into a coat pocket, the flashlight and stake into my pants and got out of the car.

I walked for about twenty feet before coming to a bridge. There was a sign on it: Welcome to Point Pleasant Munitions Dump." I thought that maybe there was a house or a caretaker somewhere along the road. I started to cross the bridge but was interupted by the sound of a cars ignition behind me.

Running back I found the car running in idle, lights and engine on; radio blasting country music at full volume. The flashlight in my pocket had turned on too so I extinguished the candle. Rebecca however was nowhere in sight.

I approached the car but as soon as I got within ten feet of it it exploded, throwing me backwards.

With nothing else to do I went back to the bridge, crossing it and walking for about ten feet before noticing something strange about the sound of the breeze rustling the leaves on trees.

Odd, it sounded almost like that strange language over the telephone. "Kza tishu, mrahsad lac tol qell"

I head a stirring of leaves to my right, spinning I saw two glowing red eyes glaring at me from the dark. I turned my flashlight on it. It was about ten feet tall, with broad wings and covered with a grey downy coat.

The name Point Pleasant clicked, this was the Mothman!

I shake my head and my vision clears a bit more. Standing before me are two almost cliche Men In Black. Wearing suits straight out of the 1950s, with black fedoras and black rayban sunglasses (but we're inside in a dimly lit room?) they are almost laughable.

In a monotone, one says "Hes coming around, should we sedate him again?"

The other nods and turns to a tray table next to him, holding up a small bottle and syringe.

Anger boils. Adrenaline surges.

The first MIB steps forward. My right leg lashes straight out and upward, swinging to meet his crotch as hard as I can. The impact jolts him, and he pauses. Strangely, there is no sensation of my foot encountering any genitalia.

The MIB turns to look at his patner. I lunge up and forward driving my head into his face as hard as I can. He falls backward, raybans broken, clutching his face.

The second MIB lunges forward, arm darting at me. I duck and drive a knee into his solar plexus, doubling him over. Then I drive an elbow into his temple as hard as I can. He staggers, the syringe still in his hand. I grab his arm and twist, ripping the syringe out of his hand, and driving it into the back of his neck. He collapses like a pile of bricks.

The first MIB is starting to get to his feet again, still clutching his face. I advance, fists and feet flying, raining blows and kicks on him. As I stand over him, I notice that the fluid he bleeds is far darker in color than blood should be, almost a deep violet. I turn him over and notice his eyes... they are not like human eyes. The pupils are red, with vertically slit pupils, similar to a cats eyes. I remember not feeling any genitals when I kicked him in the crotch.

After searching both bodies, I recover a small black address book, 2 sets of keys, 2 wallets containing several hundred dollars in cash, and a small black box the size of a pack of cigarettes with no apparent controls or other use. Putting all these objects in my pockets, I take the keys and quickly find the one that unlocks the door.

Outside the room, I appear to be inside some kind of underground facility, although there is no one else around. Immediately across the hall there is another door. A few seconds locates the correct key, and I am inside.

As soon as I turn on the light in this new room, I begin to smile. This is an apparent arsenal, as there are rack after rack of rifles, handguns, machine guns, rocket launchers, and all other type of ordinance. I begin moving.

In a few minutes, I have located and loaded 2 Sig Sauer P226 handguns (noting with approval that the preloaded magazines are loaded with hollowpoints), one shoved in the front of my belt and one in the back of my pants. I choose several additional magazines, and shove them in all available pockets.

Next I select an HK MP5 submachine gun, equipped with a holographic sight and underbarrel flashlight, slamming a magazine in and charging it. I quickly locate an equipment bag and fill it with a dozen or so extra magazines for the HK.

Next I open a couple of crates and find an assortment of handgrenades. I locate another equipment bag and fill it with 3 each white phosphorus, fragmentation, smoke, and flash-bang grenades.

Slinging both bags, turning on the holosight on the HK, flicking the safety off and snugging the butt to my shoulder, I slip out the door.

Alright, time to find out what the hell is really going on...
