Void Agent

[1900 Hours Badakhshan, Pakistan] "This is the last of it, Major Burkley?" Special Agent Rizzo was in charge of data retrieval. She looked like someone's college-age sister, but the reality was quite different. Her white-blonde hair was tied up in a neat bun; she had an attractive face that seemed incapable of displaying emotion.Jonas nodded; he has seen her type before. Ex-Black Ops, or special forces, recruited by the agency for clean-up. Dr. Jonas Burkley had spent the better part of three years in the tiny mountain compound, hidden away in Pakistan. The MIT graduate was part of a team conducting experiments with the Higgs Boson particle. "This is all I have; I'm just the math guy."Rizon turned her ice-cold blue eyes on the researcher. She had been briefed on everyone; to protect the secrecy, all of the research was sectioned off. No one was allowed to know everything. The "Math Guy" was the foremost expert in his field. His e
