Invisible Air
part two

I just borrowed them for the story

Captain Chen was expecting the agents so he was waiting in the outer office of 
his office when they arrived. 

"Captain I'm Agent Hobbes, this  is my partner Fawkes and Dr. Keeply." 
Bobby shook hands with the man who was a little Asian looking but taller than 
him.
"Gentlemen and Doctor please come into my office so we can talk privately." 
He shook hands with all of them then waved his arm so they would precede him
into his office. 

Bobby offered Claire one of the two chairs facing the captain's desk. 

"I understand you believe there are terrorists here in the airport?" 
He took his seat and gave them his full attention. 

"Yes, Sir  both my partner and I over heard them talking about the plan
would go into action soon." Bobby stretched the truth a little.

"You understood the langue they were speaking?" 

"I do understand Arabic, but it wasn't. We heard them when they were talking
in English then they switched over to this other langue."

"I see, I contacted the officer in charge of these men. He's due here very soon.
If he can identify these men as members of his usual command, we may have
a problem. But if they are imposters then we will know for sure something is
about to happen. If you will stay here for a short time I believe we can solve
this situation quickly." 

They stayed in the captain's office while he excused himself. 

"Hobbes look I think I should go look around some more."

"Good idea, if this officer doesn't get here soon I'm going to join you out
there in the terminal. This is feeling worse and worse." 

"Darien please don't over do, I don't have any counteragent with me." 
Claire warned him. 

Darien slipped out of the office acting like he was headed for the men's room. 
Then he visited the two guards from before. They were acting a little edgy if
you asked him. He wished he could do something to mess up their plans. 
He stayed invisible only a short time, then went looking around the terminal
as far as the security check points. The other two groups of guards looked
less like trouble. But then he was only going on the fact that two of them
looked to be all of nineteen with red hair and blond hair. Then the other
set of guardsmen were black. Darien knew there were some mid eastern
countries with black races, but these two struck him as brothers. He stopped
and talked with them to get a better feeling for them. 

"Hey man, how's it going?" 

"Fine Sir." 

"I just wanted to say thank you to you guys for serving our country and all." 
Darien told them like he was a tourist or something. 

"We're proud to serve sir." The taller of the two men answered him. 

"Well you keep up the good work." Darien had wanted to hear them both speak
but he'd been disappointed. So now he wasn't at all sure if they were on our
side or not.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Captain Greer arrived at the security office ten minutes after Darien went to 
recon the situation. 

"Captain I guess the big question here is do you know your men well enough to
identify them?" Captain Chen asked. 

"I know most of them, but if there is any question about the loyalty of my men
then I'll remove them from guard detail until this matter is cleared up." 

"That's very co-operative of you Sir. It's just that we don't want to take 
chances." 
Bobby added. 

"I understand, before the attack in September I would have never believed such
a thing could happen here on home soil. But now, I'm ready to take any 
measures you feel are needed." 

:::::::::::::::::::::::

"Eberts have you finished checking that information yet?" 

"Yes Sir, I believe there may be as many as a dozen men assigned to the 
National Guard unit for southern California that are in deep cover."

"Damn, I was afraid of that."

"I've sent you a list of the names and specialties they have been trained in at
least as far as the records I have reported." Eberts sounded very concerned.

" Good," 
"Ah, Sir I'd like to come into work." 
"Fine if you feel up to it." the Official hung up he had to make another call to
airport security. The fax machine was humming behind him he pulled the first
sheet off and read the names. 

"Captain Chen please?" 

"I'm sorry sir he just left the office." 

"Send someone to get him, I have very important information  he must have at 
once." 

:::::::::::::::::::::::

"I can tell you from here I don't recognize either of those two men." 
Captain Greer said from the other side of the main room of terminal two. 

"I was afraid of that now we can prevent what ever was about to take place 
and risk catching only a few of the men planning it. Or we can sit back keep
a close watch on them and prepare for the worst." Chen said. 

"I don't know if waiting is the best defense Sir. If the plan involves any type of
chemical warfare, we could be risking hundreds of lives." Bobby spoke up.

"Dr. Keeply do you have any expertise in this area?" Chen asked turning towards
Claire. 

"I'm familiar with several types of chemical weapons. The risk is farley high to 
the men that release the chemical or biological weapon. If they are willing to
die for their cause like the men who high jacked the jets then it would be 
better to prevent the attack." Claire looked worried, she locked eyes with Bobby
after she was done speaking. He nodded to her, he understood her fear. 

"First we need to get help here from the local police. I'm afraid your people are
suspect at the moment Captain." 

"You could prevent any more of the public from reaching the airport with some
type of traffic jam or construction that blocks the road. That wouldn't cause 
suspicion to the terrorists if you still want to try and capture them." Bobby 
suggested. 

"Good, let's good back up stairs and work on this. I'll have one of my men keep
an eye on those two." Chen started back towards his office. 

"Sir I was just coming to get you, there is an urgent call for you." 
A young woman from the office reported to her boss. 

Bobby held Claire back. "Look I think you should get out of here. Darien and I 
will stay and help out." 

"Bobby I'm a doctor I can help if people are hurt." Claire protested. 

"You could if it was only a few people but if it's as bad as you said it's going
to be hundreds. If you won't go back to the agency then take the van to 
the hospital and warn them what to expect. Set up for the worst." 
Bobby handed her the keys to the van, then kissed her quickly. 

"Bobby I..." 

"Go, now!" He implored her to get herself to a place of safety. 

Claire stared into his dark eyes for a few seconds the turned to leave.

Bobby went after the two officers, he really hated it that he'd been right.
His cell phone rang as he was returning to the security office.
"Hobbes here." 

"Bobby listen meet me at the area near the concourse that connects
terminal one with terminal two. I think you need to see this." 

"I'll be right there." Bobby rushed forward and told the Captain he
would be back soon. His partner had uncovered more information.

"Ok, Partner what's up?" 

"I was looking around and I sneaked into that secure area over there."
Darien indicated the luggage area. "I found a hidden supply of 
explosives and some kind of chemicals." 

"This just keeps getting worse and worse." Bobby looked worried. 

"I think we should confiscate that stuff even if it does risk letting the
bad guys know we are on to them." 

"I'm with you on that one Partner." Bobby flipped his phone out and
put a call into Captain Chen. 

"Yes, Sir. We will maintain surveillance on the hidden stash until your
people get here." Bobby moved back out of the main hallway and 
prepared to wait. 

"Where's Claire?" Darien asked a few seconds later, having almost forgotten
about her. 

"I sent her to set up the local hospital incase this gets ugly." 

"Good idea."

:::::::::::::::::::

Claire drove to the nearest hospital, in route she made a call to Alex.     

"Monroe."

"Alex, it's Claire listen Bobby and Darien are out at the airport. Something
big is about to happen. If you aren't in the middle of something you can't
get away from I think they could use your help."

"I'm a little busy right now." Alex was tailing a suspect in the case she was
working on. 

"This is very important, it seems terrorists are planning something at
the airport. It may involve chemical weapons." 

"I'm there." Alex was about to hang up her phone when she heard

"Alex! wait." 

"What is it?" 
"Darien needs or he will need a shot soon. Stop by the lab and grab a vial
of counteragent and syringe." 

"Got it where are you?" 

"I'm on my way to the hospital to help set up things incase...." she didn't finish 
her sentence. 

"Ok, stay safe Claire. I'll find the guys." 

"Thank you. You do the same." 

Claire arrived at the hospital and rushed inside. She had her badge out but it
would really have more importance if they weren't still under the Bureau
of Weights and Measures. 

"I need to speak to the chief of staff please, it's a matter of public health." 

"His office is 415 but he's hardly ever there. I'll page him for you." 

"Thank you." Claire prayed they took her seriously it would save time.

::::::::::::::::::::

"You know Partner I've been thinking what kinds of containers where those
chemicals in?" 

"They looked like big bleach bottles, but they weren't stored in the cleaning
closet." 
"I've got a plan my friends as soon as those has met guys get here, we are
going to be doing a little switch-a-ro." 

"What are you going to substitute for the explosives?" 

"If it's the same stuff we used in the Marines I know just the thing." 
Bobby said smiling. 

The Has Met guys showed up. They were dressed in coveralls like the 
men who were working on the expansion section of the terminal. 
They removed the chemicals and the explosives. Bobby followed them
out to the truck and spoke with one of the men. He talked him out of
a couple of the paper wrappers the plastic explosive came in.

"You got the wrappers now what are you going to put inside?" 
Darien was puzzled by Bobby's evil grin. 

"Watch and learn Partner."  Bobby headed back to the area where the work men
had their supplies. They were busy working on the other side of the concourse.
Bobby borrowed a tub of spackle and took it with him to the storage room. 
"If I pack this into the wrappers, they probably won't even notice the difference.
It's about the same consistency, the same weight and if they do notice it will
be to late." 

"This is a great switch, you'd make a great confidence man. But what about the 
chemicals?" 

"We'll get some bleach bottles, would you check to make sure the stuff you hid
was still the same? Especially if it's dangerous stuff?" 

"You've got a point there. I'll go check with the janitor on duty he should be 
able to help us out." 

Darien borrowed a coverall and a hand truck from the janitor after he explained
he was a government agent. The janitor was happy to give him a hand. 

He wheeled the load of bleach towards the storage area right through the
concourse.      

"This worked out perfect it looks just like it did when I found it."  Darien stood
back and admired their work. 

"Good now lets get out of here and wait to see who comes for this stuff."
Bobby patted him on the back and headed for the back door.
