Alexander was on his way to the control tower when he heard the sound of running footsteps and looked back to see Elizabeth run up to him. "Hay Alex, what're you doing?" she asked once she caught up to him. "Trying to figure out what the scrambling of fighters were for earlier, figured I go check out the ATC. Out of anyone on this base they would know whats going on." he said in a curious tone of voice. As they approached the ATC a man rushed in front of them almost out of nowhere.
"You two are going to need these" the man said as he handed out a water bottle to both Alexander and Elizabeth. "Report to the briefing room, western building, in twenty minutes. Oh also you can't go in there right now." as he points towards the ATC entrance. "They are quite busy and you need to get to that briefing." Then the man hurried off about as quick as he arrived.
"Wait hold on!" Alexander cried out and to no avail, the man was already jogging down the sidewalk towards the hangars.
Alexander looked back at Elizabeth "What was that all about???" he asked.
Elizabeth started to say "Don't ask me, I don't know who-" Alexander interrupted saying "He said it was the western building right???"
"Yes, the western building... If you would have paid more attention to the guy maybe you wouldn't have to ask." she said a bit flustered.
"Well let's get going then." Alexander said all innocently as they worked their way on over to the building.
Alexander and Elizabeth made their way over to the briefing room not knowing what to expect. What was it about, he wondered. How did the mock fight go, and why were the fighters launching? Only time will tell...
They entered the room and quietly took their place behind Captain Kreulich. Alexander took a swig from his water bottle and took a seat. Wait, he should probably be in his flight suit right now... Alexander felt a tad awkward as he sat there in his standard attire, he didn't know what to do so he figured he might as well fidget with the pen in his pocket while they wait.
