On the journey, Isabella masturbated alot, being lonely. She had so many lovers on the game reserve planet, but now she had no one

Several weeks later, before Isabelle ran out of rations, she arrived on Earth

She was glad, yet scared what she wound find. How much time had passed since she was kidnapped?

She landed the ship in a Forest in the middle of America, just somewhere south of Mexico

Getting out of the craft, she probably triggered every government agency scanning outer space, but she got out and cloaked the ship. She abandoned the ship in the middle of the forest and walked to civilization

She walked through a town in cloaked mode, in her Predator armor

Then she stole some clothes. First underwear

Then a sweater and jeans

She stole some money and took a bus to the US. Although she was an Israeli citizen, she went to the US, in hopes Royce would come back and find her in the US

It took 3 days, going through 3 countries, before arriving in an apartment she has used before in Mexico City a year ago. She was glad that the apartment key was still there, and her organization was still owning it. She hasn't yet reached the US, but she felt like freshening up before then.

She took a shower, the first in a while, since she was kidnapped to another planet

She got out of the shower in a towel, drying her hair with a towel, when there was a knock on the door

"Hello Sgt Major Isabelle Abigail Nissembaum. I am Agent Keys. I need you to come with me" he said. "Let me get dressed" she said, half expecting this to happen

"Do you know how long this is going to take?" Isabelle asked, seated in an interrogation room

"Well Miss Nisenbaum.."

"Sergeant Major"

"Sergeant Major Isabelle Abigail Nissenbaum, numerous commendations though no mention of total confirmed kills which I'm guessing is rather high"

"You assume correctly"

"But then there's this last note, current status, absent without leave. Now why would someone with an impressive service record decide to go AWOL?"

"I was taken"

"Taken. Elaborate"

"Taken"

"Sergeant Major Isabelle Abigail Nissenbaum, numerous commendations though no mention of total confirmed kills which I'm guessing is rather high"

"It is"

"But then there's this last note, current status, absent without leave. Now why would someone with an impressive service record decide to go AWOL?"

"I was taken"

"Taken"

"You wouldn't believe me even if I tell you"

"Sergeant Isabelle. Look, look, we already have this space craft thing you parked in the Jungle. The only thing I want from you is your story. After that, we'll sly you home, first class, hot towels and the whole shebang"

"You know about the aliens?"

""Of course. Because we are trying to stop them and by the look of the inventory in the ship, so were you. Alien jawbones, thermal netting armor and bolt action sniper rifle, ballistic says it's been fired all right. Sergeant Major, cards on the table. We're a task force directed by the United States government to assess and respond to a very real alien threat. One that attacked us first and continues to do so with impunity."

"Like Guatamala" 

"The Valverde incident is, top secret. Anyway, continue with your story"

"I was awake half way falling. It was a parachute insertion, like a halo jump. But the time I realized what was happening, the chute opened on its own. I thought I would wake up but I didn't . It was real"

"Were you alone?"

"At first, yes. Not long after landing I spotted an American mercenary, a Mexican cartel enforcer and a Spatnaz Special Forces soldier debriefing each other. I believe we were deployed to the planet at the same time. Over the course of several hours we found two American serial killers, a Yakuza enforcer and a member of a Sierra Leone RUF death squad. It didn't take long to see what we had in commo "

"You're all killers. How many survived?."

" Only me and Royce, American merc, Didn't ask for his last name"

 "How did you both survive?"

"Royce discovered that the aliens only saw bodyheat. So we hid in mud." 

"I don't know how long we survived like that, but at one point, Royce left to hunt by himself. Thats when the Predators came back with new improved tech. I built a new team, but they wiped us out. I got seriously injured too. Royce returned to help me heal"

"The predators hunted us again"

"We were fortunate that a third alien force joined and engaged the Predators"

"Thats when we fund their ship and escaped, well I escaped anyway"

"And Royce?"

" Too many"

 "He wanted to stay ad hunt. I tried to convince him to come with me, but he refused" 

"Well, I know you've killed one. Likely more. I know you commandeered an alien spacecraft and successfully piloted it back to Earth. I'll like to know more. I'm also one of a select few on this planet who will believe you.... we.. uh.. I promise I will do everything I can to take what you tell me and use it against these monsters"

"Sigh.. fine, go ahead"

"Where were you"

"Abducted. I was on a mission"

"And what were you doing moments before your abduction?"

"Hiding"

"Care to elaborate?"

"No"

"Ok, describe being abducted"

"During the course of the mission, I slept. When I woke up, I was falling, like in a nightmare"

"You were asleep, and then you were falling"

"It was a parachute insertion, like a halo jump. But the time I realized what was happening, the chute opened on its own. I thought I would wake up but I didn't . It was real"

"From that elevation, could you recognise anything?"

"No. There was only jungle"

"Sergeant Major Nissenbaum, in your estimation, during the time of your abduction, do you believe you were on Earth?"

"No I do not"

"Sergeant Major, a terrestrial weapon was found inside the alien spacecraft. A bolt action sniper rife. Was this rifle assigned to you?

"It was by me request"

"Was your rifle slung on your person when you fell asleep?"

"No, but I was holding it"

""What did you do after landing?"

"I did a supply check of my person and began to recon the area. I was disoriented. I worked under the assumption I was on Earth, but somewhere I've never been. It toon became obvious that this was not the case"

"How did you arrive at that conclusion?"

"The combination of flora was wrong. Too many species that shouldn't have been. Others that I couldn't identify at all"

"Were you alone during this time?"

"At first"

 "There were others?"

"Not long after landing I spotted an American mercenary, a Mexican cartel enforcer and a Spatnaz Special Forces soldier debriefing each other. I believe we were deployed to the planet at the same time. Over the course of several hours we found two American serial killers, a Yakuza enforcer and a member of a Sierra Leone RUF death squad. It didn't take long to see what we had in common."  

"Killing"

"Yes"

"Yeah, given the situation we agreed to work together to find  way out of the jungle. After a short time it became clear we were being pursued, hunted"

"Can you expand on that?"

"There were traps, hunting animals used to flush us out, no shelters or signs of civilization. We concluded the planet was a kind of preserve. We'd been brought as prey."

"The whole planet was a game preserve?"

"as far as we could tell, yeah" 

"Of he eight of you, how many survived?"

:Myself and an American Mercenary"

"You get his name?"

"Royce"

"So tell me about Royce"

"What do you want to know?"

"Got a last name?"

"I never asked"

"Why do you think you and Royce were the only survivors?"

"Killing doesn't keep you alive. We infiltrate, complete the mission and get out. We were trained to survive, not to butcher civilians"

"You two sound Chummy. How did you earn his trust so quickly?

"I didn't at first. It was very difficult to earn his trust. He worked with us because it was tactically advantageous. He saw us as disposable"

"How do you know that?"

"When we were trying to identify the enemy, he used us as bait to lure them out. Someone died"

"And why would you want the trust of a man like that?"

"Look at the list I gave you. You see a lot of trustworthy men? I knew he was my best shot of getting out alive and I was right"

"How did Royce help you get of the planet?"

"He left to hunt the hunters on his own. I stayed and trained another group of warriors to hunt the aliens. But they upgraded with new weapons. They.. ambushed us. Royce came back to help me"

 he killed the hunters  

7:52

survived for so long they must have thought he  was worthy so they gave him armor predator armor  

8:01

yeah but tailored for a human he'd often spoken  about how we secretly enjoy hunting men that it  

8:09

was dishonest to think otherwise when they gave  him that armor it was like the gods telling him  

8:15

he was right all along that's when I lost him  where's Royy's now he used the armor's cloak to  

8:23

find a landing site he took me to it and there  was some kind of drop ship and a smaller skiff  

8:30

i thought we'd both take the skiff but he said he  wanted to meet them face to face i argued with him  

8:39

pleaded but there was no point whatever connection  he had to humanity to me died in the jungle his  

8:49

ship disappeared into the clouds and I was alone  i want you to know I appreciate your cooperation  

8:57

here today we're going to be chewing on your  testimony for months sure but now to the part  

9:04

that frankly I am really excited to hear about how  did you pilot an alien spacecraft back to Earth  

9:16

and just to be clear there are like nine engineers  with their ears pressed against that door so you  

9:22

know be specific before he left Royce unlocked and  readied both ships using the computer on his armor  

9:31

i don't know if he could have done more or  if he just didn't care to but he responded  

9:36

to me as though I were one of the hunters  everything was in their language well how  

9:42

did you decipher their system we're  trained in naval navigation so some  

9:46

things made sense out of practicality  others I figured out through trial and  

9:51

error time was difficult to judge there but  I slept several times as I worked it out

10:03

it's funny how simple it must be for them so  many controls had images and holograms i don't  

10:10

think the hunters are very smart what do you  mean we saw so many of them big ones man-sized  

10:17

ones but all hunters there were no mechanics  or techs no one ever performed maintenance if  

10:25

something broke they abandoned it i think it all  works for them but they don't know how it works  

10:32

i knew I got [ __ ] tonight would you [ __ ]  off that's been a running theory of ours please  

10:38

uh continue i found a planetary directory and just  spent hours going through it until I found Earth  

10:47

i grabbed my supplies and started pushing buttons  in the directory until the ship rumbled and then  

10:52

I sat down and prayed i don't know how long I was  on the ship long enough to go through my food but  

11:00

not long enough to starve to death it was quiet i  spent my time sleeping soundly for the first time  

11:08

i don't know how long i woke up once and there was  Earth huge and blue the ship wanted a landing zone  

11:20

but I couldn't read the locations so I chose at  random sounds like you got lucky I guess well that  

11:30

about covers it i just want to say you've been  through a horrible ordeal but the OWLF thanks  

11:36

you for your assistance good if you want to be of  any more help there are interested parties who are  

11:43

impressed with how you handled yourself people  who could use your unique skills to continue the  

11:48

fight i'm ready to go home i'm not interested in  working for America they're not strictly American  

11:55

let's say they're an international response  team here's my card that number there is my  

12:01

personal cell number should you change your  mind I'll think about it goodbye Agent Keys
