"Well, it can't hurt to have it", said Praline briskly, "Follow me, the tunnel to the compound is right through this closet".

The tunnel was not as cramped as Nadine had imagined; it was air conditioned, had electric lights lighting the way, and pretty colorful mosaics decorating the walls.

There was one particular mosaic that caught her eye; it depicted a 4 toed Egyptian figure holding an ankh, with smaller figures dancing around its' base.

Nadine touched the mosaic, and the dancing figures, only to realize it was actually an amazingly clear high definition display screen.

One of the figures on the screen said 'Is that an ankh, or are you just happy to see me?'

Nadine's hand went to cover her open mouth, and someone somewhere heard a voice that very softly whispered, "Polar bears moved the island."

They giggled nervously, and Praline rolled her eyes; "you & your bears" she scoffed, "Come on, they're waiting".

They finally entered a large, brightly lit, white room and looked around in awe at all the people, also wearing white, working at tables silently. "What is this place?" Nadine asked.

A tall man, whose white hair and clothing, contrasted with his ebony skin,rose gracefully from a desk and approached them.

The man walked up to Dante, and shook his hand warmly, "I wasn't sure I'd ever see you again, this is a wonderful surprise."

Dante was not sure what to say; "Uncle Jim Bob, I thought you died in an avalanche?"

"I wouldn't listen to anything those bears tell you if I were you, now why don't you have a seat over there while I put on some tea." Uncle Jim-Bob said as he pointed at a giant white sofa.

At the mention of tea Dante narrowed his eyes; "You were not part of that failed Serbian mission, were you, Uncle Jim Bob?"

Jim Bob blinked slowly, his hands remained steady, "Oh, you remember that, do you?"

"Indeed", Dante replied; "Your squad was supposed to conquer Serbia; instead you sat about discussing yoga & tea."

"My dear boy," Uncle Jim Bob sat down on the couch next to Dante, laying his dark, steady hand on Dante's shoulder, "those were code names for two of our best agents over there."

Dante sighed, "I find that hard to believe, you went to such lengths to cover it up, then that Wilgy fellow came in & conquered Serbia on his own", looking around he asked, "What the hell is all of this anyway?"

"You'll be pleased to know that these experiments are perfectly legal in half a dozen countries now, including Serbia." Jim Bob said, crossing his legs.

Dante pondered what Uncle Jim Bob had said, and the more he thought about it, he was certain he was NOT pleased at all.
