Has someone interfered with my experiment ? Were the plane ’ s guidance systems confused by some type of polarity overload ? Where is that thing going ? Then , without any indication of impending doom , the plane disappeared completely from the radar monitors . No signs , no fireballs , no distress signals , not even a pinging from the aircraft ’ s black box . There was nothing . No indications of emergency procedures from any of the militaries of the countries in the area . It was gone ! While Raji started to worry , he also began to wonder : “ Did history repeat ?”. Was this craft inadvertently sent on an interstellar time dimensional trip ? Has the experiment failed ? “ If this was some conspiracy by some other country ”, he thought , “ They have definitely crossed the line !”. That ’ s when the door to his small office burst open . “ INFIDEL !”. A large guard with other guards burst into his office . “ What have you done ?!!!” shouted the irate officer . Before Raji could rise to his feet , he was clubbed to the floor by the large officer . Other officers began throwing all the paperwork and equipment into large carts and boxes and trashing everything else . You have created an international incident ! “ What did you with that plane ?” “ What were you thinking ? “ There were United States citizens on that aircraft !”. “ Do you want them to bomb our great country ?” “ Didn ’ t you think what they might do ?” “ We have been monitoring your activities you fool !” The beatings continued . “ Praise Allah ” said Raji . “ Allah Is Great ” he exclaimed . “ Tell him in person !” Screamed the large officer . Down the hall , in this secret facility , a young guard stood as security . He hears the screaming . He hears the beatings . Finally , he hears two shots being fired . He hears a body fall to the ground . He hears more beatings and then , another shot is heard . He does not flinch . He does not move . All he knows is to follow orders . He is a guard and that is all . He stands emotionless as the fallen Raji ’ s body , along with cartons of equipment and paperwork are carried out of the small office . He will not speak of what he ’ s witnessed . This will be kept to himself until his dying day .
