The soldier leaned forward, his eyes locked on Oscar’s. “We find that hard to believe. You live in the house where the eggs were found. You must know something.”

The soldier sighed and sat back in his chair. “Alright, Mr. Johnson. We’ll take your word for it, but we need to tell you something. Those eggs came from a very dangerous place – Death Island.”
