Chapter 29 - Sanctuary in the Clouds

Catherine, Chloe, and Arthur were transported via a military transport aircraft to an undisclosed federal facility in Colorado.
The facility was built deep inside a hollowed-out granite mountain, virtually impenetrable to outside surveillance or assault.
Chloe sat at a wooden desk inside their private suite, drawing pictures of sunlit mountain horses with colorful crayons.
"Mama, are we going to stay in the mountain cave forever?" Chloe asked innocently, looking up with her big brown eyes.
Catherine sat beside her, gently stroking her daughter's soft hair with infinite tenderness and love.

Arthur stood near the blast doors, keeping watch with unwavering loyalty, ready to lay down his life for the family.
