Think we these act as key. replies Barry holding up his walkie talkie.
Tom nudges Barry in the side and whispers, Hey did you notice that she spoke English then?
It was the ladies turn to laugh, then she says, Yes we have met travellers like yourselves before. Although, none have grasped our language as well as you two have. I must admit, I am impressed.
Tom asks, So you believe we are telling the truth then?
Yes. she replies, Although you could have been in serious trouble, had it not been that others have visited before now. This what do you people call it, top secret military place. Normally we shoot on sight, but luckily our boundary people spotted that you were dressed strangely and suspected you were gateway travellers. That device that you held up just now, as being the key, is it a comms device?
Tom and Barry look at each other, wondering what she meant, then Tom said, Oh Walkie Talkie, yes it is a comms device.
She asks, What mode does it operate?
Barry replies, I don't know. he unclips his walkie talkie and holds it out for inspection, But you're welcome to look at it provided you don't break it.
She gets up and takes the walkie talkie and leaves the room, before Barry or Tom have a chance to react.
