Cross Over

It’s summer, and many schools across the country are hosting graduation ceremonies for their students. Unfortunately, many of the top graduates are struggling to find jobs because the economy is being bottlenecked by the greed of corporations dominating the financial and industrial sectors, which are cutting their spending costs. Graduates with degrees in computer science, biology, and various other fields often find jobs, as their friends who are currently working for the company have connections that help them fill available positions when they become open.

Those job seekers with connections to friends in corporations tend to secure jobs first, leaving new graduates and hardworking candidates at a disadvantage. Many of the job openings are filled by friends and acquaintances of current employees, making it challenging for recent graduates to break into the job market.

Three best friends, Andy, Aubrey, and Aelia, grew up in the same small town and studied diligently to pursue careers that would support their daily lives. They graduated from the same high school and continued to the same university, supporting each other through to graduation.

After all three graduated from university, the three very best friends attended a job fair at a convention center nearby in search of suitable employment. Andy received an offer for a classified government position that aligned perfectly with his skills. However, his two close friends, Aubrey and Aelia, were unable to find jobs that matched their aspirations.

While the three very best friends had a lunch break at a fast-food restaurant, they discussed their experiences at the job fair. Andy noticed the disappointment on Aubrey’s and Aelia’s faces and immediately sensed that they had not found the opportunities they were hoping for.

Andy was eating his food and listening to the conversation of his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia. Then Aubrey said, ”I have walked full circle inside the Job Fair Convention Center, and did not find the right job that I graduated from or any that is close to my skills learned in school. It’s hopeless. There are many other job offers, but it is not what I learned for my career. Uhm...”

Both Andy and Aelia looked at the sadness in Aubrey’s face. Then Aelia put her hand on Aubrey’s hand with a smile and said gently, ”Well... Aubrey, don’t look so sad. I have the same situation as you do, Aubrey. I cannot find any job out there that I have learned so hard for, and all I found is what you told us, that none of the job offers I saw fit my skills at all. You know, come to think of what just happened to us, like we’re wasting our time learning skills from the school that don’t matter, or applying to the outside world. Its... Oh... Let’s just have a good time with our food for now. Let’s not talk about the Job Fair of sadness for now. Uhh...”

Andy looks at his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, who are sad about their job search. Then Andy slowly bites his burger, thinking about the government job offer. While Andy is chewing his burger, Aubrey turns, looking at Andy, and asks, ”Oh... Andy, how’s your job search? Any good offers that you like? Andy!!”

Andy immediately jokingly asked his burger after he heard his beautiful friend, Aubrey, ask him about his job search. Then, both beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, saw Andy choking on his burger, and they immediately walked over to try to calm him down. Andy takes his cup of soda and drinks slowly, trying to calm his choking, attempting to smile at two beautiful friends. Aelia looks at Andy and asks, ”Andy, are you all right? You must eat slowly and try not to swallow the entire burger. Right?”

Andy smiled, looking at both his best beautiful friends, Aubrey and Aelia, then said softly, ”Yes, I will try to remember that. I am all right now. Please go back to your seat. Give me a few seconds to take a breath and calm down from choking. Wew...”

Both beautiful friends, Aubrey and Aelia, get back to their seats, looking at Andy. After Andy took a few breaths and had calmed down, he said gently, ”Thank you very much, my beautiful friends. I just need a tiny break from my burger that went into the wrong place, and I am fine now. Hihi...”

Andy looks at his two beautiful friends, Aubrey and Aelia, then says, ”You know, I did get an offer, but my offer is so secret that I have second thoughts about it.”

Aubrey and Aelia immediately stopped eating and looked at Andy with their eyes wide open. Then Aelia looked at Andy and asked, ”What? Andy, you got a job offer? Tell us, what is it? Is it the right type of work you are looking for? Come... Tell us... Andy...”

Andy smiled as he looked at his two beautiful friends, Aubrey and Aelia, and said, ”It’s kind of what I’m looking for, but I’m not entirely sure. This job offer is with the government, and it’s secret work. I’m hesitant because I’ve seen a lot of news highlighting that secret government jobs often have bad outcomes. That’s why I haven’t responded to them yet, but I told them I would think about their offer.”

Aubrey, sitting next to Andy, placed her hand on his shoulder and said, ”Good for you. I’ve also heard that secret government jobs can lead to trouble. Anything associated with secret work often ends up causing issues. It’s just nothing but trouble, haha.”

Aelia looked at both Andy and Aubrey, then tapped Aubrey’s shoulder and asked, ”Do you have any other job offers that you could consider instead of this one? We all have bills to pay and daily expenses for things like food, gas, and housing.”

Andy and Aubrey exchanged glances, their faces reflecting a bit of sadness. Andy turned to his friends and said, ”You’re both right; that’s a good point. I can see that. However, working in a secret field can be stressful. You have to keep everything confidential, and if anyone, especially family, asks about your work, you either have to lie or say nothing at all, which could make them suspicious. My family has a knack for getting into investigations and is always curious about secret matters. The more I hide, the more curious they become, and that drives them to overthink everything. I’m not sure I’m good at keeping secrets from them. You both understand what I mean, right? Aubrey? Aelia?”

Both beautiful friends, Aubrey and Aelia, are looking at each other, then smiling, nodding their heads, and Aubrey smiles and says to Andy, ”Well, the secret is secret. You must keep it a secret in your work, then you must do it for the money, and if you think you can’t keep the secret. I suggest you don’t do any secret work, and then you will be fine. Remember this: you just graduated, and this is your first job offer right after you graduated. So, you have to think about it, and if you cannot make a decision, then let Aelia and me decide for you. Yes? Andy?”

Andy looks at his two beautiful friends, Aubrey and Aelia, then asks, ”What? You two girls are going to decide for me? Come on now, I can make my own decision, and...”

Andy paused his talk, looking at his two beautiful friends, Aubrey and Aelia, then slowly covering his face with his two hands. Both beautiful friends, Aubrey and Aelia, quickly rush over, sitting next to Andy, putting their arms around Andy’s shoulders, and both beautiful friends, Aubrey and Aelia, whisper into Andy’s ears, ” We know, we will work with you, if that is what it takes for you to keep the secret. We will keep it a secret, and in return, we will both work with you. All right? Yes? Andy...?”

Both beautiful friends, Aubrey and Aelia, are smiling, looking at each other, and Andy is still covering his face with his hands, shaking his head.

Very slowly, two beautiful friends, Aubrey and Aelia, gave a kiss to Andy on each cheek. Andy is covering his face, then smiling, slowly takes his hands off his face, and looks at both his beautiful friends, Aubrey and Aelia, then says gently, ”All right, you two beautiful ladies of mine. Your actions make me, or one like me, ever resist your kisses. I will ask my offerer if they have any openings in their division relating to the biological sciences, and I will have them create an opening for you two ladies. I hope they do have an opening. That’s settled. Let’s finish our lunch and get back inside the Fair Convention Center. Shall we..?”

After all three very best friends, Andy, Aubrey, and Aelia, finish their lunch, they go back inside the Job Fair Convention Center. Andy comes up to the recruiter who talked to Andy earlier, and the two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, are staying back, away, looking at Andy talking to the recruiter for a short period. Then Andy signals with his hand, calling his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, to come over. Andy introduce his two best friends, Aubrey and Aelia to the recruiter, then recruiter said to Aubrey and Aelia, ”All right, Andy has explained his side of story with his condition of my proposal a high paying job to him, but Andy is very good with counter offer, that he wants to added you two ladies of his best friends into his offer. I guess that Andy did mention a little bit about our little secret that comes with the job. Right?”

Andy turned, looking at his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia. Then Aubrey smiled, looking at the recruiter, and said, ”Yes, we both, Aelia and I, have heard Andy’s little secret about his offer. If you can get all three in, then we’re all in. Right? Andy? Aelia?”

The recruiter looks at all three best friends, then says, ”All right, if you two ladies come with me to the back, I will ask you two a few questions, then let’s see if you three are all qualified for our offer. Come, this way...”

Both beautiful ladies’ friends, Aubrey and Aelia, look at Andy, then Andy signals good luck, and both ladies go with the recruiter to the back for the special interview. Andy is standing in front, waiting for his two best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, to come back. Andy is standing, looking around. A short moment later, the two best ladies’ friends of Andy walk out with the other two recruiters. Then Andy sees all four, and asks, ”I hope what I see, four come out from three went inside, is a good sign? I hope, right?”

Both beautiful ladies, friends, Aubrey and Aelia, are smiling. And then the recruiter tells the other recruiter team member to get the paperwork handed out to all three friends, Andy, Aubrey, and Aelia, to go home, fill it out, then mail it in, then wait for instructions. All three very best friends, Andy, Aubrey, and Aelia, are smiling, hugging each other, making all the people in the Job Fair Convention Center watch three friends who are so happy, hugging and jumping together.

Andy gets the three applications, then all three friends wave goodbye to the recruiters and walk out of the Job Fair Convention Center. The pretty Aelia said to Andy and Aubrey, ”I have an idea. Why don’t we all go have a great dinner to celebrate our first job, and then we fill out our application after we happily celebrate our first job offer? Yes? Everyone?”

All three very best friends, Andy, Aubrey, and Aelia, are so happy holding each other to celebrate their success in their first job, and calling their family to give the wonderful news that they have graduated and received a first job offer. All three very best friends, Andy, Aubrey, and Aelia, and their families are so happy for them, and they are telling all of them to write a family letter describing their work environment and their normal daily life.

Three months later, all three very best friends, Andy, Aubrey, and Aelia, are packed on their way to the airport, and when they arrive at the airport. A recruiter is waiting for them at the specially designated location in the airport, and when all three very best friends, Andy, Aubrey, and Aelia, walked up to the special gate inside the airport. All three very best friends, Andy, Aubrey, and Aelia, have to check in by walking through the special security gate as designated for them.

After all three very best friends, Andy, Aubrey, and Aelia, passed through the special security gate, they went inside to the waiting room, where they saw many other people sitting in the same waiting area as them. Three very best friends, Andy, Aubrey, and Aelia, sat down by the window. Then Aelia asked, ”Who are these people over there in this area? Are they like us, just got the job?”

Andy looks around, then turns, looking at his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, and says, ”I believe so, Aelia. Look at them, they have similar luggage to ours, very simple, and they are sitting in this designated area like we do. I believe this area is the only gate that goes to one plane. Will see in a little bit.”

Pretty Aubrey looks around and sees the closed gate that leads to the private plane parked. Aubrey said, ”I think Andy is correct. The plane parked outside is ready for us, I believe, like Andy said. We will know in a little bit.”

From the parked airplane’s closed gate door, it slowly opened, and two unmarked flight attendants came out, telling everyone to start boarding with their credential card in hand to hand over before entering the boarding gate. Everyone started getting up and starting to walk to the boarding gate. Andy, with these two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, is slowly standing up, looking at each other with a nod, and starts walking toward the boarding gate.

After everyone walked into the boarding gate and gave their boarding credential card to the flight attendant, the airplane’s door closed, and the flight attendant announced that everyone must secure their seat and prepare for takeoff. The flight is only one-third full, and Andy, with his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, is sitting next to them. The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, told Andy that they were not flying, and they might not feel well once the airplane moved up and down. Andy, slowly glancing at his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, said very softly, ”You two must be kidding me, right? You two ladies did not fly much, so you two ladies are thinking of me? I don’t go out much, and especially flying. I don’t like flying and am not fond of turbulence at all.”

The airplane flies the recruits to the unknown special location, and during the flight, the turbulence makes all three very best friends, Andy, Aubrey, and Aelia, frightened of their motion sickness, holding on to each other, praying to get through the turbulence. The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, hold on to Andy like a rock, not letting him go. Andy said to his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, ”Ladies... Come on... You’re holding on to me so tight that my blood circulation is not passing through my arms, and I am feeling that my two arms are starting to get numb... Can you two ladies loosen up a little bit, especially my two arms? Please...”

After Andy just told his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, to relax their arms, all three slowly fell asleep with all the other passengers in the airplane. The pilots have released the sleeping gas into the airplane, which puts all the passengers into a deep sleep. After all the passengers have fallen into a deep sleep, the airplane flies through the turbulence for a while.

All three very best friends, Andy, Aubrey, and Aelia, are in their sleep, then suddenly hear the announcement to all passengers Get ready for landing. The pilot announced, ” Prepare for landing, and the flight attendants went around to make sure all passengers woke up and got their seats straight up for landing. A pretty flight attendant comes up to three very best friends, Andy, Aubrey, and Aelia, to wake them up and get them ready for landing.

The pretty Aubrey opens her eyes, looking at the pretty flight attendant, and says, ”What? Are we landing? What... Oh... Turbulence!! Are we going through the turbulence?”

Both Andy and his pretty best friend Aelia woke up hearing the pretty flight attendant say, ”We are about to land. I want all of you to wake up, secure your seat, and be ready for landing. After we land, you will exit the airplane and keep walking to the end. There will be someone at the end of the exit greeting you all. All right? Thank you for flying a secret flight. Hihi...”

Andy looks at the pretty flight attendant, smiling and walking slowly away. Andy tapped on his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, and said, ”Looking at that pretty flight attendant smiling, that is having some chilling effect, don’t you two think so? The chill is zooming down my spine.”

Andy, watching the pretty flight attendant go to other passengers, telling them to get ready for landing, did not hear any response from his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia. Then Andy turns, looking at his two best friends, Aubrey and Aelia. The two best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, are staring at Andy with their eyes seeming a little angry. Then Andy asked, ”Why are you two looking at me like that? Did I say something incorrectly?”

The two best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, immediately hit Andy a few times. Then Andy asked, ”What? Why are you two ladies hitting me?”

Pretty Aubrey pinched Andy and asked, ”Did you just say that pretty flight attendant? Uhm...?”

The other pretty friend, Aelia, starts pinching Andy and asks, ”Who’s pretty? That pretty flight attendant is prettier than I? Uhm...?”

Andy quickly got the blanket on the airplane to cover himself and said, ”I am so sorry... My two lady friends are the prettiest.. Yes... Most beautiful of all are my two friends sitting next to me here. All right...?”

The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, are looking at each other. Then Aelia said to Andy gently, ”All right, Aubrey and I will let you go this time. If there is next time, you say that again, then you will see the brothers and sisters of my pinches. Right? Andy?”

Andy looks at his pretty friend Aelia, half-smiling at her. Aubrey slowly put her arm around Andy’s shoulder and said gently to Andy, ”Well, my Andy. I might have added to what Aelia just told you. I would say there will be many of the Pinches’ relatives coming to see you if you said something like that to a flight attendant again. Got that? My Andy...?”

Andy smiled at his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, then said to himself, ”Wow... I did not know that pretty is so sensitive to my two friends here.”

The pilot announced that they were about to land and provided instructions on how to exit the airplane once it was parked. Andy tells his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, to walk close to him and be together when they get off the airplane. After the airplane is parked, the airplane’s door opens, and another crew member on the ground walks into the airplane, telling all the passengers to get off the airplane, following him.

After the airplane landed, it stopped and parked at the gate. The flight attendants open the airplane’s door, and from the outside of the airplane, there is a black tunnel that leads, with illuminated lights hanging on the walls on both sides of the dark tunnel.

When Andy, with his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, walks out of the airplane, the pretty flight attendants thank all the passengers for flying their secret flight. Then, when Andy walks by, the pretty flight attendant looks at him and then gives him a one-eyed blink. Andy saw one eye blink from the pretty flight attendant, then immediately sped up and walked out into the dark tunnel fast, before his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, saw him get an eye blink from the pretty flight attendant.

All three best friends, Andy, Aubrey, and Aelia, were walking behind the previous group of passengers, and then they were walking toward the end. There is a light behind the black door, opening for all the passengers to get inside. Once, all the arriving passengers get inside the room behind the black door. There are three personnel standing waiting for all of the arriving passengers. Once the black door of the tunnel connected to the airplane is closed, one of the three personnel standing said, ”All right, I believe everyone is here, and here is what you all are going to do next. I want each of you to follow the person in front of you to the door on my left. Remember, in a single line, and no talking. When you reach the other large room, there will be two doors. One door is labeled for males, and the other door is labeled for females. Each gender follows the original gender that is labeled on the door and gets their check-in process. All right? Any questions?”

Everyone is quiet and looking at each other. Then the personnel of the facility tell everyone to proceed in a single line and walk through the door on the left, where three personnel are standing. When all the passengers get to the inner large room, they are all separated by their original gender and go through the door with the label of their gender, male or female.

Andy looks at his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, nodding their heads, then walking through the door labeled with their gender. Andy walks into his side of the door that is labeled his gender, and when he gets through, there are many other personnel standing waiting to take their belonging, and passing out their new clothing to go take a bath, then change into the new clothes passed out by the personnel in the facility.

After all the passengers checked in, they took a shower and changed into new clothing. They all met in the huge room that had two huge elevators going down into the ground. Andy meets his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, in the large room. Then all three come together, asking each other if everyone is all right. Then the two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, acknowledge to Andy that all is good.

There are many personnel standing at the two huge elevators guarding, and one of the personnel holding a notebook walks up and says, ”All right, everyone. Let me say this: Welcome all to your job assignment, and I am your host, calling out each individual, giving you the elevator sign. As you all can see here, there are two elevators to go down underground, and underground is your job assignment that you signed up for, relating to your skill set. No questions at this time, and you just do as I say. You will hold all your questions for your supervisor. All your questions will be answered by your supervisor. All right then. Let’s start the final process, and when I call out your name. You come up here and go to your assigned elevator.”

All three very best friends, Andy, Aubrey, and Aelia, are holding hands with their heads. The personnel’s host starts calling the name of each individual who walks up and goes into their assigned elevator. Andy is going to a different school from the one his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, are going to. After two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, went into their assigned elevator, Aubrey looked at Aelia and was just about to say something. Aelia shakes her head at Aubrey, signaling to her not to say anything, and then Aubrey nods her head at Aelia.

When Andy’s elevator got to the level, it stopped, and the door opened. The elevator operator said to Andy, ”Andy, this is your floor. You can get out, and your supervisor is waiting for you. Good luck with your job.”

Andy slowly stepped forward from the back of the elevator to the front and walked out. There is a pretty middle-aged woman standing, looking at Andy. The elevator’s doors behind Andy are starting to close. Andy looks at the pretty middle-aged woman, and then the pretty middle-aged woman slowly walks toward Andy, looking at him. Andy is standing, looking at the pretty middle-aged woman with hesitation. Then the pretty middle-aged woman said, ”You must be Andy. Am I right? If I am wrong, then you must tell me now.”

Andy is standing in stunning mode, looking at the pretty middle-aged woman, and then softly says, ”Yes, Ma’am. I am Andy, and this is my very first job right after I graduated. Ma’am.”

The pretty middle-aged woman looks at Andy, slowly moving around Andy, where he is standing, and looking at him, then says, ”I am your Supervisor, and you can call me Supervisor. My name to you is Supervisor, and I am your Supervisor, both the same. You understand me? Andy?”

Andy is standing with little confusion about what he just heard from his Supervisor. Then Andy looks at his Supervisor with a half-smile, then says softly, ”I guess I heard you, and I think I know half of what you just told me. Supervisor, right?”

The pretty middle-aged woman looks at Andy, then smiles, and says, ”All right, good. Now that we have been introduced to each other, I need to give you a tour of my facility. Come, I will give your first day orientation, and you can ask me any questions about your work-related issues. All right? Let’s go. This way.”

Andy is following his Supervisor, Lady, walking around the huge underground facility, which houses many strange electrical components, and all the other hovering lights in the rooms. Andy was walking by, watching through the clear windows, and saw many things that were impossible to exist on the surface. The pretty middle-aged Supervisor Lady looks at Andy and, seeing his eyes, is surprised to see things in her facility. Then Andy’s Supervisor said, ”All right, let me start by telling you that all the things you see here are not from this planet. If you know what I mean by that.”

Andy is so stunned to hear what his Supervisor just told him. Then Andy smiled and nodded his head to listen to his pretty middle-aged Supervisor, Lady, telling him, and that goes the same as Andy’s two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, are also getting orientation about their work on the aliens’ biology. The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, look at each other after hearing their Supervisor tell them that they will start doing the research on the aliens’ biology, and then cover their mouths. The Supervisor of the two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, said to them, ”You all have signed a document that keeps what you see and hear in this facility related to your job super secret. So, you two can freely express your feelings, but cannot bring any of your expressions out of this facility. No... Right? If you understand what I just told you.”

The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, wake up to their Supervisor and nod their heads. The pretty Aelia looks at her Supervisor and asks, ”Supervisor, we have a friend also working here in this huge facility, but I think he is in the engineering sector. Do you think that we can see him sometime in the future? We all three come to work here at the same time.”

The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, the Supervisor smiled and said, ”Oh, I see. You two can see your friend again, but not as you would like to be. Maybe, once a month, you can see each other when we have a general meeting about updating our project. You will see your friend at that time. All right, let’s go into this lab ahead, and I will give you an orientation about the lab you two will be working in. Come... This way...”

A little over three weeks later, Andy sat in his tiny lab, working on the programming of the alien devices that the local engineer had reverse-engineered. The program was integrating well into the devices and responding to commands. While Andy focused intently on his work, his attractive middle-aged supervisor walked in and told him to drop everything and accompany her to a meeting. Andy was taken aback; he had never heard his supervisor speak to him like that. He smiled and followed her to the meeting.

As Andy and his pretty middle-aged Supervisor entered the room, Andy spotted his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, sitting on the left side, looking around until they saw him. The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, called out to him, and Andy turned to his supervisor. “Supervisor, may I sit with my friends over there?” he asked.

Andy’s supervisor looked at Aubrey and Aelia and exclaimed, “Wow! I knew you had friends here, but you didn’t tell me they were so pretty. Lucky you! Sure, go ahead and sit with them. I’ll come check on you afterward.”

Overjoyed, Andy thanked his supervisor and quickly walked over to Aubrey and Aelia, who were eagerly waiting for Andy. As Andy approached, the two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, stood up and embraced him, thrilled to see him. The three of them shared happy moments, smiling at each other.

Meanwhile, the supervisors of Andy, as well as Aubrey and Aelia, exchanged nods. Just then, the General Manager entered the meeting room and began the meeting, discussing updates on the alien spacecraft that all departments were working on for reverse engineering its components. After the meeting, all three very best friends, Andy, Aubrey, and Aelia, want to talk more, and then their Supervisors come to meet all three of them. The two Supervisors invited all three to go with them to the small food machine area to sit down and talk to get to know more about both sides from the perspective of the two Supervisors.

All five, the very best friends, Andy, Aubrey, and Aelia, with their two Supervisors, are going to the food machine area. Once, all five got to the food machine area, then the three very best friends, Andy, Aubrey, and Aelia, introduced their Supervisor to each other. Andy’s pretty middle-aged Supervisor smiled and said, ”I am glad to know two pretty friends of Andy. Yes, I meant it. I know these two pretty girls. Supervisor, but for these two pretty girls, my Andy is new to me, and I guess it’s news to my friend Supervisor here too.”

The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, the Supervisor smiled and said, ”Right, Andy’s Supervisor and I have been working in this place for a long period now. We are just glad that we got new young candidates to join us. So, tell me. How are the three of you, Andy, Aubrey, and Aelia, liking it here so far? I meant at your workplace, that is.”

All three very best friends, Andy, Aubrey, and Aelia, answered their Supervisors that they are happy to work and earn a good, high salary, which makes them happy. Both Supervisors talked to the three very best friends, Andy, Aubrey, and Aelia, for a short time. Then the Supervisors told all three to stay a little longer, and the two Supervisors came back, and then all had to go back to their work quarters.

After the two Supervisors left, the three very best friends, Andy, Aubrey, and Aelia, exchanged their work living for the past many weeks. The pretty Aubrey asked Andy, ”So, how are you doing over there in your job sector, Andy? Any excitement over there on your side of work?”

Andy smiled, looking at his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, then said, ”I am doing all right. I get to work with new technologies that are so amazing, and I get to duplicate the technology. It’s so fascinating. I can show you sometime, if they allow me to bring it out to show you, or you two come to my workplace, check it out. Right?”

Pretty Aelia looks at Andy and smiles, then says, ”Wow, you get to play with your new invention. That’s so cool, and I do want to see what you invented. Hihi...”

Andy smiled, looking at his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, then asked, ”So, how about my two friends here. How is your workplace treating you two? Any exciting works you do that make you can’t wait to wake up early the next morning to start your workday? Uhm...?”

Both Aubrey and Aelia looked at each other, then Aubrey said, ”I can tell you this, Andy. What we do in our workplace is kind of related to our studies, but the actual work is so secret that we have to wear special gear to protect ourselves. The way that our workplace puts in heavy protection, I think it would be some kind of virus or something that we must not be exposed to. We have to be very careful every day when we come to the workplace. It’s a bad workplace, if you ask me, and don’t get me wrong. I love the pay rate, right? Aelia?”

Pretty Aelia smiled and said gently, ”Yes, I can say this for all of us. We do love our pay rate. Right? Does anyone disagree?”

All three very best friends, Andy, Aubrey, and Aelia, looked at each other and started to laugh. The two Supervisors walk in, telling all three very best friends, Andy, Aubrey, and Aelia, that they need to go back. Then everyone walks out of the food machine area to say goodbye to each other, going back to their workplace. The three very best friends, Andy, Aubrey, and Aelia, are giving each other. Andy is hugging his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, and then says very quietly, ”You must be careful at your workplace. Don’t get infected with it. All right?”

The two Supervisors started walking back to their working facility with their team. Andy is working with his pretty middle-aged Supervisor, and asks, ”Supervisor, may I ask you something about my two friends?”

Andy’s Supervisor turned, looking at Andy while walking, then said, ”Andy, I know what you’re going to ask me, but let me tell you. Your two pretty friends are fine. They do what they have been trained for, and then all their daily work would be fine. Don’t worry too much about it. You know that in this secret place, there is something we can talk about among ourselves, and there are certain things we cannot disclose to others. But don’t worry, I will tell you what you can say and what you cannot say in this facility. All right? Andy?”

Andy looks at his pretty middle-aged Supervisor with a smile and says, ”Sure, that’s what I am looking for. Guidance in this place. My friends and I don’t know deeply what’s in this place, but we do know the general idea and have good ideas about it. I just worry about the safety of my friends in the working conditions of their workplace. That’s all.”

Andy’s pretty middle-aged Supervisor holding Andy’s arm, and said, ”Andy, don’t worry. Your friend will be safe, and there are many other people around the workplace, which is the most critical environment, who will be many sets of eyes watching to keep the place safe and secure. All right? We need to focus on our work. Come on... Let’s get back to our work.”

Andy walked with his pretty middle-aged Supervisor to their testing devices room to conduct the alien program integration. Several weeks later, Andy is sitting in his workplace chamber working on his latest programming, integrating into the duplicated alien devices of bracelets, and the result is promising. All three duplicate alien devices are responding to the program that Andy input into the duplicate alien’s devices.

Andy puts on one of the duplicate alien devices’ bracelets onto his wrist, testing, and all results are coming back positive. Then Andy updates the report in the notepad. Andy just about started to do an update, then a huge explosion shook the foundation of the entire facility, and it was heard from the above-ground floor. The facility’s alarm started sounding so loud that panicking Andy stood up, trying to figure out what was just happening. Andy heard the sound of running steps outside the door, and shouting, ”Get out!!! Get out!!! Now!!! Get to the elevator!!!”

Andy is just about to leave, but then he turns around, looking at the other two alien devices on the table that he was testing. Immediately, Andy runs over, takes the two duplicate alien devices, puts them in his pocket, and runs out of his test chamber. When Andy is outside of this testing chamber, he sees many people running toward the elevator, and he follows them to the elevator.

Once Andy walked to the elevator, he saw a couple of people already there in the elevator, and they were waiting for the elevator to come down. Andy is standing, waiting for the elevator to come down with others, but he does not see his pretty middle-aged Supervisor at all. Then Andy slowly walks around to check if his Supervisor is standing or coming toward the elevator.

The elevator comes down to his floor, and the bell rings, opening the door. Andy turns, looking at the elevator, and sees his pretty middle-aged Supervisor walking out with his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, with their Supervisor. The people waiting for the elevator were rushing into the elevator, but the two Supervisors pushed them out and told them to get back out.

The two Supervisors are pushing people out to make way for them, and Andy, two beautiful best friends, Aubrey, and Aelia, to come out of the elevator. The people waiting at the elevator shout, ”Get in the elevator!!! Why are you getting out!!?”

The two Supervisors shouted back, telling them to get out of the elevator, but the people rushing into the elevator did not listen to the two Supervisors. Certainly, the electricity in the elevator died, and it turned off, and everyone inside the elevator started panicking, shouting out loud. Andy quickly walked over, grabbing his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, away from the elevator, and the two Supervisors backed out of the elevator with Andy and his friends.

The people inside the elevator are pushing buttons that are not electric and shouting. The Supervisors standing outside told all the people inside the elevator to get out and get back to their rooms. The people inside the elevator go crazy, shouting and pushing the buttons, then green and blue smoke starts coming down from the top of the elevator.

The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, were supervised by a Supervisor. ”Get out now!!! Virus leak!!! Virus leak!!! Run!!! Run!!!”

The green and blue smokes are slowly pouring down from the top of the elevator, and the people inside the elevator saw the green and blue smokes slowly coming down, and then started to run out of the elevator. The Supervisors of Andy and his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, call them to run and follow them away from the elevator. The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, and their Supervisor try to open the door to one of the rooms, then Andy’s pretty middle-aged Supervisor tells everyone to follow her to the structure testing device chamber. After two Supervisors and Andy with his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, got inside the structure test device chamber, she closed the door immediately and locked the chamber.

Andy was standing, looking at everyone, and asked, ”What is just happening? Why can’t we go back up to the ground level? Why is the elevator electric certainly dead?”

Andy, two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, run to him, hugging him tightly, and Aubrey said, ”Oh... I’m glad we’re all fine right now. I was so frightened for minutes there...”

Andy’s Supervisor looks at everyone and says, ”All right, right now is our survival. We must stay in here until we get a clear signal, and don’t ask me when. All right, we just need to stay calm and control our current situation. This is what we can do.”

Andy looked at everyone and then grabbed both hands of his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, and said, ”All right, you two ladies of mine. Tell me what was happening, and why my Supervisor is with you all in the elevator. I thought my Supervisor was with me on this floor, but eventually, she was not, until she came with all three of you ladies from different departments. Can someone tell me, so I can get a little understanding of the situation?”

The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, are looking at Andy and shaking their heads. Then the two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia’s Supervisor, walks up to Andy, and said, ”I don’t know, we don’t know either, and all we know is that the virus alarm went off right after the explosion. The elevator that my team and I went in only takes us down and does not take us upward. Something is causing the explosion, and the alien chemical has been released into the facilities on multiple floors. The protocol turns off all access and goes to the upper ground. Only go down for the member’s survival, and wait for the clear signal. Now, we just wait and hope all will be fine as before again.”

Andy was standing, looking at two Supervisors, then at the door alarm, and starting to close the thick metal door. Everyone is looking at the door. And seeing the metal door closing, the alarm went off three times, and the green light turned on. Andy, looking at the green light, just turned on, pointing at the green light, and asked, ”What is that green light? Can someone tell me what that green light turned on for?”

Andy’s pretty middle-aged Supervisor walks up to Andy, puts her hand on Andy’s shoulder, and says, ”My boy, that green light is on, telling us that this room is shielded with the medal door you just saw closed. We are locked in here, and nothing can get in here. Not even the smoke you saw earlier.”

Andy turns, looking at his pretty middle-aged Supervisor. Then slowly he walks to the chair, and sits down, leaning back on his chair, then covering his face with his hands. The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, walk over to Andy and put their hands on Andy’s shoulder. Then Aubrey said, ”Hey, looking at the bright side, we are safe in here. Right? No need to worry about that viral smoke. Correct?”

The pretty Aelia smiled and said, ”As long as I am with my friends, I am fine, and it eases my worry a little bit. Just a little bit. Hihi...”

Everyone is looking at each other, except Andy, who is still sitting in his chair, covering his face with his hands, shaking his head. The two Supervisors, looking at each other after looking at Andy, then the two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia’s Supervisor, looked around, and asked, ”What is this place? This room seems large, and the structure under our feet is white metal. What is it?”

Andy’s Supervisor looked around, walking, checking the floor of white metal, then smiled and said, ”Oh... This metal is an alien metal that our engineer broke out from the spacecraft, and they put it in here to test the signal collision or the signal of activation. That’s what I heard, and I think what this room is with the alien material under our feet.”

Andy was sitting straight up, looking down at the ground, and seeing the white metal. Then said, ”Well, I hope this metal doesn’t take us anywhere, or if it can take us out of this situation, then it would be good. We’re stuck in here, and how do we know it’s all clear? What type of signal, All clear are we waiting for? Does anyone know?”

Everyone is looking at each other, then two Supervisors look at each other, then both turn to look at the operation room. Both Supervisors were walking into the operation room, which has the controllers inside the structure testing room, and Andy’s Supervisor said, ”I hope there is some type of communication in the controller room. Let’s go in and check it out.”

Both of the Supervisors walked into the control room and looked around inside the small control room. While the two Supervisors are inside the smaller controller room searching for the communication, and then Andy said to his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, ”You two know if we have some kind of cafeteria in this place, where we can go have our dinner, Hot Pot or something like hot meat to eat for our dinner night would be good. I have eaten only dry food for many weeks, and I think I cannot take it anymore. Do you two ladies have the same feeling as I do about Hot Pot dinner?”

The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, looked at each other, and then turned to look at Andy, and were just about to say something, when another alarm went off. This time, the red light alarm sounded so loud that Andy had to cover his ears, and the same with his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia. Andy turns, looking at his Supervisor inside the small control room with other supervisors. Then the door of the smaller controller room shuts with a metal door.

Andy saw the metal door of the smaller control room closing. Andy ran over, shouting out to his Supervisor, but the metal door went down and locked the smaller controller room. The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, run over with Andy pounding on the metal door, telling their Supervisor to open the metal door of the smaller controller room. Both Supervisors inside the smaller controller room were shouting and giving hand signals, but they did not know why the metal door went down and locked the smaller controller room.

Andy and his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, are outside in the test structure room, standing on the white alien metal, looking at the window, calling their Supervisors to open the smaller controller room metal door, but the supervisors cannot open it. Andy quickly runs to get the chair and brings it to the window. He stands up on the chair, pounding the window, telling his Supervisor to open the door. And inside the control room, both Supervisors are hitting every button on the panel to try to open the control room door, but still, it does not open.

This time, a huge alarm went off sounding five times, and the four metallic silver poles from the ground of the alien silver ground started to come up with glowing lights. The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, are standing next to Andy, calling him and so frighteningly shouting to their Supervisors. Andy quickly stepped down and grabbed his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, to stand up on the chair at the window, calling their Supervisors to open the control room door.

While the two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, are standing on the chair pounding the window at their Supervisors, telling them to open the control room door, Andy is standing on the ground watching four metallic pillars flashing, and starting the bright white light energy, creating the white foggy outside the four silver metallic poles. Andy sees that his alien bracelet device is starting to flash like the four silver metallic flashing, and both his alien bracelet flashing synchronize with the four silver metallic poles.

Inside the smaller control room, the two Supervisors are panicking, so they worry about Andy with his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, who are outside in the test structure room. Andy’s Supervisor said, ”What do we do...? What do we do...? I put it back the way I had touched it. What’s about you? Did you put it all back to the way it was? Supervisor?”

The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, looked at Andy’s Supervisor and said, ”I don’t know. I did click a few buttons before. I thought it was the connection to engaging talking communication here on this side, and I believe now it’s not...”

While the two Supervisors are in panicking mode inside the small control room, trying their best to undo the situation, outside, Andy is watching as the four silver metallic devices of white energy poles are generating a huge amount of energy, slowly filling up the room outside the four silver metallic poles, and the alien bracelet on Andy’s wrist is flashing.

Andy, watching the white flashing foggy slowly moving covering the perimeter of outside the four silver metallic poles, then said, ”Oh... My... Ladies... I think we are in trouble here... Aubrey and Aelia!!”

The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, are busy calling their Supervisor through the window and hearing Andy calling their names. Then the two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, turned to look at Andy, and both said, ”What!!!”

Andy pointed to the fog coming toward them from both directions and said, ”Ladies... Look!!! The fog is coming toward us on both sides. Ladies!!!”

The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, start looking at the fog on both sides, then jump down, grabbing their arms around Andy, and shout, ”AH!!! AH!!!”

Inside the small control room, both Supervisors saw the foggy coming toward Andy and his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, from both sides. Then Andy’s Supervisor said, ”What’s happening? What are those white flashing foggy lights? What’s that!!?”

The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia’s by their Supervisor watching both sides and notices in the middle of the four metallic silver poles are clear, and it was clear fog inside the four metallic silver poles. Both Supervisors hit the window to tell all three Andy with his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, to run inside the four metallic silver poles.

All three, Andy with his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, looked at their Supervisors and saw that they were trying to tell them to run inside the four metallic silver poles from the signaling of their hands. The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, quickly grabbed Andy and started running into the middle of the four metallic silver poles standing inside. The white flashing foggy lights surround the perimeter of the four metallic silver poles.

Inside the small control room, two Supervisors are pushing all the buttons they see, and hoping to stop what is happening outside, creating the white flashing fog bright lights. Andy was standing, checking his alien bracelet, and still seeing flashing lights. The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, saw Andy’s alien bracelet flashing. Then Aubrey asked Andy, ”What is that on your wrist? Andy?”

Both the beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, quickly grabbed Andy’s wrist and looked at his bracelet. Then Andy said, ”This is the alien bracelet that I tested earlier before the explosion. Now, it’s flashing during the flashing fog, appearing, and this alien floor structure is activating. I think it has something to do with the alien thing in this room.”

The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, looked at Andy. Then Aelia quickly grabbed her arms around Andy’s body, then said, ”Andy, wherever you go, I go with you. I don’t want to be here alone or leave her alone.”

After Aubrey heard what Aelia just said to Andy, she quickly wrapped her arms around Andy’s body and said, ”I am going with you, Andy. You cannot leave me here alone. No way!!!”

Andy is standing with his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, grabbing their arms around him so tightly, and both of the beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, are scratching Andy’s back. Andy cannot breathe and said, ”Ladies... Take it easy... You are holding me too tight. I cannot breathe... Please lose me a little bit...”

The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, are getting closer, and both ladies said at the same time, ”No!!! I am hanging on to you!!!”

Andy tries raising his wrist up to see his bracelet, then his other hand touches the other two bracelets that he put in his pocket earlier. Andy said, ”Ladies, I have two extra alien bracelets. Let me put them on you, and you will be the same as me. All right?”

When the two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia heard what Andy just told them, then immediately the two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia let go Andy, and Andy pulls out his extra alien bracelets put on his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia wrists, then Andy said, ”All right, you two ladies are now have the alien bracelet on your wrist like mine. All right?”

The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, are looking at their alien bracelets on their wrists and comparing them to Andy’s alien bracelet. All three alien bracelets worn by Andy and his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, are lighting up at the same time. Andy looks at all three alien bracelets and says, ”Oh my... This is so impossible... All three alien bracelets are lighting up. What is going on here...?”

The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, look at their alien bracelet on their wrists, flashing, then turn to look at Andy. The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, look at each other. Then both ladies at the same time jumped on Andy, and holding him tightly, they said, ”I won’t let you go anywhere without me...”

The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, are now wrapping their arms around Andy’s body so tightly, and closing their eyes due to the bright fog flashing, which is getting so bright. The two Supervisors inside the small control room are trying all the buttons they saw, and looking out the window, they saw Andy being grabbed by his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia. The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, the Supervisor said, ”What are those three doing out there? Why are those two girls grabbing Andy like that? Like a cocoon.”

Andy’s pretty middle-aged Supervisor looks out the window and says, ”What else? They are so afraid of the white flashing fog light out there. I guess the two girls of yours are more frightening than my boy, Andy. Right...?”

Andy is standing with his two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, who are tightly embracing his body, and the energetic white lights are flashing with full fog covering. Certainly, the lightning strikes from the four metallic silver poles to each other, flashing brightly. The white flashing fog grew thicker, covering the entire room, except the inside of the four metallic silver poles.

The bright white foggy lights are so thick covering the entire room, except inside the four metallic silver poles, and a huge flash sound of the lightning strikes, accompanied by a huge bright white light flashing. Inside the small control room, everything started flashing, and then it all went dark. No more flashing, and everything is off, turning so dark. The surroundings are so quiet, and slowly, the control lights are starting to flash back up one by one.

The light of the small control room slowly lit up, and the light went back on. Both Supervisors look at each other, then turn to look out the window, and see all white fog outside the window. Slowly, the white fog disappeared, then Andy’s Supervisor asked, ”Where is my Andy with his friends? Where are they? Last, I saw they standing in the middle of the white ground.”

The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, were looking out the window, and said, ”Right, where are my two girls? Where are they? Did they run to the corner? Did you check on my side of the corners? I don’t see anyone on your side of the corners at all, Supervisor.”

Andy’s Supervisor moves close up to the window and takes a look at both sides, then slowly moves back in, and says, ”Oh my... All three of them are gone. I did not see any of them outside of this room. Where are they going? Is the bright white fog light got to do with them?”

The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, are supervised by the Supervisor, who looks at Andy’s Supervisor, shaking her head, then says gently, ”My... I hope they are all right, wherever they are right now. I hope they will be safe and unharmed. We need to report this incident to our superior. What are we going to tell them?”

Andy’s Supervisor said gently, ”We tell the truth, and like you said. We hope our three employees are all right and unharm wherever they are living.”

The two beautiful best friends, Aubrey and Aelia, and their supervisor looked at Andy’s Supervisor and said, ”I am with you, and hope all three of them find their way home safely.”
