The jet touched down near Lake Erie in Ohio. Steve and I were supposed to be looking for the first base.
We checked into a small hotel that was right on the lake. We set up some tracking equipment into the room and began to search for the base.
"Have you found anything?" I ask Steve as he continues to figure out the equipment.
"Depends on if I can even get this thing to work." Steve says, flipping switches and pressing buttons.
I stand from the bed, "Here, let me do this." I say handing my laptop to Steve.
I quickly fix Steve's laptop and begin searching for a signal.
"See anything?" I ask.
"Nothing." Steve sighs.
"Well, all we have to do is wait. When it picks up a signal of the base, or a signal of the leader of the base, it will go off. It should send us a direct signal and location." I explain.
"So now comes the fun part." Steve sighs sarcastically.
"The waiting." I finish.
As the hours pass, night falls over the lake. I had fallen asleep in the chair.
The loud beeping noises jolt me from my deep sleep. I rub my eyes before I realize it's the computer. A bright red dot appears on the map. I watch as it slowly moves on the map.
It must be the leader.
I elbow Steve in the chest. He grunts as he springs to life.
"What? What happened?" He asks sleepily.
"Look!" I exclaim, pointing to the moving red dot on the computer screen.
"Well, since a base can't technically move, this has to be the leader." Steve says.
"We have to move in soon. Otherwise, we could lose him and the signal." I say.
"So, we should move in while the signal is strong." Steve says.
"I'll make some coffee, and you get into uniform. We've got a man to hunt down."
"It's going to be a long night." Steve sighs.
