Saucer (2002)
Saucer
“As he drove west the coastal mountains soon petered out, giving way to low, rolling grasslands. Water appeared to be rather scarce, the flora looked semiarid. Still, plenty of cattle and sheep could be seen from the paved, two-lane road grazing peacefully amid scattered trees, which seemed to grow best near creeks and low places.
The problem was going to be getting in. He suspected that tradesmen from Bathurst, the nearest town to Hedrick’s station, must come and go regularly. That was wort...h looking into. As he drove he kept an eye out for tradesmen’s vans. He saw a bakery truck go by on the way back to town, but traffic was sparse. Every now and then a truck, occasionally a car.
He was driving along a particularly long, dull, empty straight stretch when he saw a turnout ahead and a gate. The gate was a steel pole across the road, tended by at least three men. As he drove by he saw the Hedrick name on a sign.
Rip continued on, watched for other roads, other entrances, guards, anything.MoreLess
