Dave Cameron and the Extraterrestrial (20 page)

From the edge she shifted the powerful lights
he had brought, and stared at him comparing him and what he had
been like, and eventually laughed.

Dreamily he observed her as he thudded away
with the pick, picking away chunks of the floor, creating a large
hole the size of the above cellar entrance.

For a second he examined the concrete he was
chipping away and picked up a chunk and examined it in detail
trying to see why it as actually different, and why it crumbled
more, which he had thought had been damaged with dampness and had
less cement in it, but it was as though it was a different form of
it, and he threw it away and continued.

From somewhere in the above building he
thought he heard a noise and wondered what was happening there.

Cameron was amazed when the pick smashed
through into somewhere below and a large chunk of concrete went
crash down into somewhere below, and left a hole going into
somewhere, and he put his face up close and looked below trying to
alter his eyesight to the dark, but only saw darkness.

He left there and went to get a light, while
Dory quickly moved over and stuck her head in close to the hole and
moved back.

He climbed back in and shone the torch down,
and watched it illuminate an area below, and he tried to see below
but never saw anything, and only directly below him, and he removed
some debris from about him and moved out of the cavity, and Dory
started examining it.

“
What do reckon is there?” she
asked.

“
I reckon it’s another cellar like this
one!”

“
But why is it there?”

“
I don’t know yet!” he replied,
sincerely.

“
Why did they need another cellar and
bury the entrance?”

“
Perhaps it’s not buried away and
there’s an entrance somewhere else in the building, and its
attached to somewhere!”

She laughed out loud, considering what he had
said, and replied, “But what if it is still in use by them?”

Cameron shrugged and removed a can of beer
and relaxed.

“
What if they heard the noise and
investigate it?” she asked.

“
We can say that we’re explorers and
adventurers, and looking for places to take adventurers and
tourists in London, and were exploring the ancient sewage system
and came across an ancient underground structure. Buried away since
the war under rubble, and we were exploring artifacts in it to
possibly give to a museum, and with the metal detector detected the
metal in the underground chamber and started trying to dig it
up.”

Chapter 18

The Chamber

Cameron looked over the edge of the large
hole going into the cellar below and sat down at its edge with his
legs dangling into it, and took the rope from Dory and lowered it
into the darkness below, and wondered why the bottom was so low
down, as its above cellars were far smaller.

He shone his light about trying to see
something. It was his first proper look, through the enlarged hole,
and all he saw was what looked like a large metal object, which he
tried to grasp over and over but he could not identify it, and
looked back at Dory and started lowering himself.

The wait had turned the search more intense,
as they had to leave and get a rope and had to make the hole far
larger, and he started wondering what the outcome would be and if
it was just another disappointment.

In an instant the rope jerked and wildly
oscillated and he spun uncontrollably around and a surge of
blackness engulfed him, and he wondered what the hell he was
entering, and again considered the well and where the treasure
could be buried away in it and wondered if they had underestimated
the amount of mud that had piled up at the bottom of the well and
if it had been far deeper, and then he remembered the metal
detector and wondered why they had not tried using it there. Surely
there was something that could search far below for them! There had
to be metal there! Then he realized that it could have been the
reason that they never used it, as they thought there was no metal
there.

It mystified him! He thought of ancient devil
and black magic worshippers concealing something below, beyond
their comprehension, hidden away from mankind!

He tried straining his eyes to see further
down but there were no features of anything new.

When he hit the ground he never fully
realized what he was in, and also almost fell over sideways into
rocks.

He pulled himself upright with the help
of the rope and released the rope
’
s tightened grip around his body,
and shivered at the coldness there.

He
cleaned away dirt and casually gave looks around him at the
debris, and wondered what the outcome of it would be, and he
realized that Dory was now staring down from above, and waved when
he looked directly.

There was only one object in the chamber and
he was surprised at the actual size of it, and he walked over to it
examining it, still considering it could be just something like a
generator, and considered what they would have used it for and
realized the chamber had to be part of what the workmen had started
building the building with, and realized it must be an old damaged
and discarded generator.

He touched its black material as he started
examining it and was staggered to feel a form of extraordinary
energy pulsating through it, which he sensed had more magnitude
than he had ever encountered before, and he wondered what the hell
it was doing, and wondered if it belonged to the government or
military, and shined his torch over it and marched around it, and
slowly revealed its perfectly symmetrical black sphere central
region.

Chapter 19

The Intelligence
Agent

“What do
you think that thing under Downing Street is?” Dory
immediately asked
Cameron
,
concerned, glaring, as he entered through
her
front
door.
“You are the
only one to have seen it
!
”

“
I think
it’s powerful whatever it is!” Cameron replied, as he jumped into
one of her seats, and put his legs up on the arm of the seat.
“There’s energy blasting through it!”

She
gasped
and
budged, and
slowly
studied
his face over
again, and she studied
h
is
clothing.

“
What is
your job exactly?” he asked, after noticing the way she acted was
far different, as if she had another career, which she had not
mentioned.

“
I’m an
intelligence agent!” she confessed.

Cameron gasped,
and then realized that it was connected to his career, with the
military, and replied, “Were you a soldier like me before you
became an agent?”

“
I was in
the military!”

He
thought about it and thought of questioning her about it and what
she was really up to, instead of
leaving him wondering
what the hell was happening and what the future would
be.

She offered him a cigarette, and he nodded
that he never, and he detected that she wanted to say stuff about
things, and asked, “Have you any beer left?”

“
No! There is some whisky over there!”
she replied firmly, and he rushed over and poured her and him large
glasses of it.

Cameron sat down and drank it fast and
relaxed and waited for what she had to say.

Someone rang on the phone and she just
ignored it to his surprise and wondered who the caller was.

She glanced over and gasped, and examined him
looking straight over at her, as if she saw something she did not
fully want to see and could not quite grasp and studied him.

He wondered what she was up to and why she
had been hiding being an intelligence agent.

“
I want to ask you some
questions!”

Cameron sat straight up and copied one of the
soldiers he had once seen and he waited.

“
Why did you join the army, Dave?” she
asked, studying him with great confusion and annoyance, while
sipping from her glass, and he realized that she never fully liked
straight whisky.

“
I can’t remember!”

“
You can’t remember why you went in the
army!” she gasped, blowing out some of the whisky in her mouth, in
a spray, covering her dress, and she laughed.

When Cameron offered to clean it, she
replied, “I’ll just leave it there for the moment!”

“
It was probably the reason many people
join up for and to visit places one normally never
sees!”

“
Really?” she asked, determinedly,
trying to do something that he could not quite grasp.

“
I have no recollection of anything
before I found myself in a pool in a field! So I can’t fully
confirm that answer!”

Suddenly it struck him that she was trying to
suggest something and he realized he could have done something that
he could not have found out about! Then he gasped as he realized
his mind was blank in places and he had no real memories of
anything of his original self before joining the army!

“
Do you think the army did something to
me?” he gasped, recalling waking up in the pool of mud in the
field, wondering if she had heard of something as an intelligence
agent, as they were connected to the military.

He thought of all the things he had heard
being used by the military on prisoners and if someone could have
done something by accident, and just dumped him in the pool in the
field.

She made strange faces, as though in slight
pain, and bent over and sat deeper into her seat, and her shoulders
bent as she relaxed, and she remained thinking for a few
minutes.

“
There are many reasons people can lose
their memories!” she replied firmly, no longer looking at him, and
Cameron was left confused and he realized his goal was still to
find out who the hell he was as far as he could!

“
I’ve another question!” she quickly
asked.

“
What?”

“
What the hell did the army originally
say it was doing where you were? Surely the military doesn’t need
anyone there?”

“
We were searching for a killer lion!”
he replied, smiling, now amused at it.

“
A killer lion was roaming about
there?”

“
They said that it had escaped from a
nearby village circus I think!”

Cameron realized how little parts of his
memory had actually returned since then!

“
What proof did they give that it
existed?”

“
Farmers were supposed to have reported
seeing the thing to the police! And we were to investigate the
incident!”

A shiver ran up his spine as he considered
the danger he could have been in out in the field in the pool of
mud.

“
So
what’s your interest in that thing we found under 10 Downing
Street?” he replied, recalling that she had a great interest in the
object, and he was sure it had been the reason behind her informing
him she was an intelligence agent.

“
I gave
your description to someone and they think it has to be atomic –
and could be a weapon!”

“
You
think someone has an atomic bomb under Downing Street? Yet if they
did it must have been put there years ago!”

She shrugged
and gasped, and sat back into her seat.

“
If you
give me the whole story of what is happening I’m sure I can help
you!” he asked.

She thought
about it and decided to do something and turned on her television
and watched it for a few minutes.

“
I think
I’d better start over again ... From when we first met I was an
intelligence agent and helping you?”

“
Tell me
what happened?” he replied, thinking that he could finally answer
some unanswered questions from the past

“
The
Prime Minister David Cameron, the politician, had a craving for
great wealth! One day he was offered far more to do something for
someone!

“
A group
of Germans, descended from top Nazis, met with him one night and
asked him to do something for them, to which they would reward him
greatly, and he discovered that they never wanted what he normal
provided! They had located a German map from the Second World War
that was of value to them and they asked for his help to get it,
and he agreed to carry out their request.

“
They
claimed the map was in Downing Street and they told him where it
was located, and that it was buried away in a cellar beneath
Downing Street, but he never found anything, and one of them
persuaded him to take him there and they searched everywhere and
still never found anything.

“
He was
paid for helping them and that was that, but he was so curious and
hungry for more action and wealth that he started having people
search for information about the cellar to see if he had missed
anything and he discovered that there had been another cellar,
below the cellar, which had been covered over when the building had
been altered, and one night he started looking for the opening and
soon found it and started digging the entrance up and eventually
had to smash his way through it, and replaced it afterwards, and he
searched everywhere in the cellar and found the safe there and
finally drilled his way into it, where he found Hess’s treasure
map.
