The reply was “That’s just creepy. I’m here.”
Tail Gunner said, “Ghost, go to McDonald’s on base for dinner. I will meet you there, okay?”
Ghost replied, “Okay, I will be there in five minutes.”
* * * * *
Star Gazer and Tail Gunner saw Ghost walking halfway down the pier and watched from the front seats of the emerald-green Benz plated to DIA 5.
Star Gazer teared up and said, “Hello, baby brother.”
Ghost passed through Navy SEAL security and exited the security manway gate turn style. He walked to the right toward the McDonald’s restaurant on base. Star Gazer and Tail Gunner drove to their right away from Ghost to not alert the Navy SEALs what they were about to do, kidnap Ghost back from them. Star Gazer drove quickly around the base and pulled up by Ghost on the side road to McDonald’s. Tail Gunner rolled down his window and said, “Get in, Ghost, now.”
Ghost got in the back seat behind the tinted windows and put his seat belt on. Star Gazer drove the Benz up to the second base gate and floored it passed the Navy security guard at the gate. Star Gazer turned the supercharger on, and the twin-turbo spooled up to full throttle, and the Benz flew through the open gate at seventy miles per hour. Star Gazer ran the red light at ninety miles per hour and went through the traffic intersection, squealing and smoking the tires, and slid the Benz sideways let off the throttle. The Benz straightened out, and he hammered it again.
Ghost replied, “Your friend drives fast, Tail Gunner.”
Star Gazer slowed and turned left and sped down the street toward the Coronado bay bridge entrance away from the Navy base. At the red light at the intersection to the bridge, Star Gazer turned around in his seat and said, “HI, Ghost.”
Ghost screamed, “Star Gazer! Holy shit!” They hugged, and the light turned green. Star Gazer obeyed the speed limit across the bridge and watched the rearview mirror for a tail following. They drove down Silver Strand Boulevard, passed the SEAL base and straight into the Marine base in Coronado. Star Gazer drove through the Marine base gate. He honked the horn for fifty yards to get the Marine’s attention. When they pulled up outside the chow hall, the Marines were outside, waiting to greet them. Star Gazer was out first and handed the keys to the Marine colonel. Tail Gunner got out next, and Ghost got out of the back right door last.
The Marine colonel said, “Welcome home, Ghost.”
Ghost cried, “Grandfather,” and ran to the Marine colonel, and embraced him.
The Marines took Ghost to the Marine medical center, and Ghost was surrendered to the Ghost Recon medics for treatment and observation. Star Gazer and Tail Gunner went to their hybrid containment in the chow hall—a massively strongly built hybrid bedroom, and lay down together in bed and fell asleep. They both cried softly until they finally fell asleep. Eight hours later, Colonel John Force walked Ghost into the hybrid containment bedroom, and he jumped into bed with Star Gazer and Tail Gunner.
Marine One Colonel John Force said, “Good night, boys, and welcome home.”
The boys replied, “Good night, Grandfather Force.”
Colonel Force closed the containment door and locked them inside their room and walked away with tear-filled eyes. Ghost was medically cleared in eight short hours in full health and ready for service. The Marine One command transported the boys to Washington, DC, for the MI-45 congressional debrief for their missing nine and half years four days later.
Chapter 14
Congressional Debrief
The Marine One command brought the boys into the congressional debrief hearing room in the congressional building in Washington, DC. The boys were tasked to inform and clarify to the congressional council where they have been and what they were doing for the past nine years and six months before their positive sighting in the United States. Star Gazer testified first in the congressional debrief.
Star Gazer testified that they were kidnapped by a Navy SEAL named John Clark, who worked as a security at the Nevada S-4 SEAL base. He stated that John Clark took them for a car ride and said he was taking them to their father. They left Baltimore, Maryland, on a plane and landed in San Diego, California, where John Clark separated the triplet baby hybrids. Star Gazer stated that John Clark took him to a campground in the California Sierra Nevada mountains and parked the motor home he drove there. John Clark told Star Gazer to stay by the motor home. He would be back soon. He was going to town to get some food and supplies.
Star Gazer stated then that John Clark got in a black CIA Range Rover and left with another agent but never returned for Star Gazer. For three days, Star Gazer played in the campground by the motor home and started getting hungry and grabbed fish bare-handed out of the campground’s creek. They were rainbow trout. Star Gazer eat them raw because John Clark never put anything into the motor home but Star Gazer’s bed. There was no food or water for the bathroom. The motor home was completely empty. This was three months after his tenth birthday, exactly three months after John Clark kidnapped them.
On the third day, the National Park Service rangers came by and told Star Gazer that they needed to see his father. The camping fees were unpaid for the past three days.
Star Gazer said, “That’s not my father. I don’t know where my father is. The guy said he was taking me to my dad, but he never took me there to him. He brought me here.”
The rangers asked him his name, and he told the rangers that his name was Star Gazer. The rangers immediately arrested him and put him in the back seat of the park ranger’s security truck and locked him in the back seat. Star Gazer stated that the park rangers talked quietly and made several cell phone calls, and thirty minutes later, a man showed up for Star Gazer in CIOC body armor. The man talked to the rangers, and the rangers released Star Gazer to the congressionally dressed man. The man took Star Gazer and put him in the back seat behind the dark-tinted windows and sped out of the campground and headed toward town.
The man told Star Gazer to lie down and get some sleep—that he was taking him back to school. They drove for hours in the black Ford Crown Victoria car and ended up in a private airport Star Gazer never saw before in an unknown California state area.
Star Gazer said that they carried him asleep to the plane, and they flew him to India and placed him in a high-rise penthouse building in the center of the town—on the 110th floor. That’s where he stayed, and that’s where they trained and schooled him in his arts.
Star Gazer said, “They just activated me and brought me to San Diego to silence the lambs.”
