so much about aliens who are secretly bent on the destruction of earth”
The kids watched the General and the solider walk towards their jeep.
The General was about to get in when he looked down at footprints in the dirt. He looked back towards their direction.
“He’s sees our footprints.” Timmy whispered, “We’re done for”
“Just stay low,” Sam whispered back.
They watched the General shake his head slightly and got into the passenger side of his jeep.
The other solider started it up and drove off down the road towards the highway.
The kids peaked up and watched the jeep fad off into the darkness.
They quickly stood up looking at each other with terror.
“An attack?” Bobby called out while freaking out “Those aliens are going to attack Springbrook Gardens? Did I hear that right?”
The other nodded as there bodies shook in fear.
Kyle eyes looked lost in space “This can’t be happening. Why attack our town?”
Sam nodded “That’s what it looks like” He thought for a moment “What I don’t understand is, how can the military know about an alien attack and not stop it? They had the aliens in their sights right here. They could’ve taken them out right now”
None of them could explain it. They stood in the dark forest and thought about it while their bodies where in a state of panic.
Bobby quickly turned to Sam “There’s only one way to explain this. The military knows about the attack and will let it happen because there’s something in it for them? I just can’t imagine what it could be”
“How could the military sell out its own people?” Timmy called out while feeling confused “What could the military possibly get in return by standing back and watching aliens destroy our town? They’re suppose to be the good guys, they’re the ones who need to stop the invasion”
Kyle ran his hands through his hair “Maybe there’s a trade off involved? It happens all the time in movies. Maybe the military wants access to alien weapons. It’s the technology they’re after. The military will sit back and watch the alien weapons be used in full effect to see how powerful they are”
“What? That’s crazy” Bobby said.
“It could very well happen,” Kyle said “They’ll let our town be destroyed then collect the weapons from the aliens afterwards to be used in wars around the world. Just like when a company demonstrates a product for its customers. The best way to sell a product is to show it being used. Let the product do the selling. You know how the military is; they’ll do anything to get the upper hand in any war. You can only build a bomb so big, before you can’t build them any bigger. You can only make an airplane fly so fast before it can’t fly any faster. Soon you need to go beyond modern warfare, even if it means alien technology to get the upper hand in weapon technology. After the atomic bomb what else is there to build? That’s why the government has never come forward with telling the world about aliens, they want to keep them a secret so the enemy doesn’t get the technology first.”
Bobby nodded in agreement. “He’s right. Makes sense to me”
“But what do the aliens get out of it?” Timmy asked.
They all stopped and looked at each other, unable to think of anything.
Sam figured it out. “A chance to abduct people without the military getting in the way?”
They all paused for a moment knowing Sam was right, they looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
“Of course,” Kyle snapped his fingers “Think about all the people who have been abducted over the decades. With all those UFO’s flying around why doesn’t the army just shoot them all down? I bet the military have cut a deal with the aliens. You give us your weapons, and we don’t stop you from abducting people. Now the military wants to see the alien weapons in full effect and it’s our town being offered up”
Sam nodded “A nice quiet little town in the middle of nowhere, who would ask any questions. It not like the aliens are attacking a huge city filled with news reporters who will broadcast the invasion live on the radio”
“But what if people in town get away and tell the world what happened? How can they hold everyone back?” Bobby asked looking stressed.
They took a moment to think about it while standing in the dark forest.
“Not unless the military finds a way to stop everyone in town from leaving”. Sam said. “You watch, in a next few hours I bet the military will be telling us a reason why we can’t leave town. They all already lied about the pesticide dusting”
“This is crazy, won’t news reporters start asking questions at some point in time?” Timmy quickly asked, trying to control his fear.
“Not unless the media is in on it” Kyle answered “Controlled by the government” he yelled out “The news is made to look as though it’s independent, but in reality, the government controls it all, telling us nothing but lies.”
“One big conspiracy. How do you like that?” Bobby said.
Kyle continued, “This is why you never hear stories about aliens flying over big cities because they only go after small towns, like ours. The government is selling us out. If aliens attacked big cities there would be no way to cover it up, but if you attack a small town in the middle of nowhere then you can make up any lie you want”
“We need to get back into town and figure out a way of stopping this. We need to warn everyone as quickly as possible,” Timmy said.
The kids’ nodded knowing he was right. They quickly made there way out of the dense forest. Thick tree branches or no branches, nothing was going to slow them down. When they reached Forest Road they only ran faster, and took off towards town, each one in a panic.
After twenty minutes they could feel their legs and lungs burning, but none of them slowed down. This was way to important. They needed to keep moving. They needed to save their town. They had no idea how, but they needed to think of something.
It wasn’t long until they reached the town limit and climbed over the danger sign. They cleared the sign faster then an athlete would’ve. They hadn’t seen any security guards anywhere along the route. They must’ve been given the order to clear off after the saucer took off.
They finally came to a stop next to the grocery store front glass window. Under the sign saying “save on fruits and vegetables this week” They took a moment to catch their breath.
Timmy looked up to the night sky. The full moon came out and lit up the streets and town. The forest now behind them was quiet. He looked away from the moon and could see countless stars. “I would never have noticed those stars before. I would’ve been too busy with video games” he paused and had to collect his thoughts “Now, it’s different. All the years of watching science fiction movies and wondering if aliens where real. Now we know they do exist.”
Sam shook his head “Aliens are ready to attack our town. Why? Why us? Why can’t they come in peace?”
“I’ve always wanted aliens to come in peace.” Bobby said “Sure it looks cool in a movie when they’re evil, but so much is lost and destroyed when they attack. Looks like we’ll have to witness their destruction ourselves”
“What chance do we have at stopping them? Were just kids, this is crazy” Kyle said
“Imagine what we could’ve learn if the aliens were peaceful. You think aliens could live amongst us in peace?” Timmy asked.
“Hard to believe.” Sam answered, “We live in a world were humans can’t get along with each other. How could we live with aliens? We judge each other based on skin color and religion. You throw aliens in the mix then the world would go nuts. You would have some wackos out there saying aliens are evil and they need to go back home. Next thing you know they have their shotguns out saying, get off my planet. Instead of trying to live in peace they will just go to war with them”
The other kids nodded and agreed.
“Who knows?” Sam said “Maybe the aliens tried to live with us peacefully at one time and we t
reated them badly. Maybe the aliens see us as the threat. Maybe were the ones who can’t be nice. Maybe them destroying us is their way of protecting the planet”
Bobby nodded “Maybe we attacked them at one time, and now there back looking for revenge, that’s what humans would do”
They all paused for a moment to collect their thoughts and somehow tried to relax from there state of panic.
“We need a plan to solve this” Timmy said.
The others nodded; they knew he was right.
“Lets not stand around here, lets tell as many people as we can” Sam called out “The more who know, they more who can help us”
“I like what I’m hearing” Bobby called out.
They took off running up the sidewalk, looking for anyone who they could talk to. The street was dark and quiet. Only the streetlights were on.
They ran passed building after building, for a moment they thought they wouldn’t see anyone until morning. Losing out on countless hours.
Kyle noticed the front door of the Springbrook Gardens Inn opening and pointed it out to the others.
They ran towards it as a group of people came walking out. The kids couldn’t tell right away who was in the group, but at the moment, anyone would do.
The kids stood in front of them stopping them from taking another step.
“We need your help” Timmy yelled out.
The group stopped and looked at the cry wolves’ gang in surprise.
“Dudes, like what happened? Like how can we help you or something? Did someone get hurt?” The man with
