long black hair and brown leather coat said.
The cry wolves looked up and noticed it was the band members and manager of music group Fly by Night. Each member had long wild hair and wild bright colored clothes. For a brief moment the kids were amazed with who they were talking to, but then quickly remembered why they were there.
Timmy spoke out of breath “You need to help us in warning everyone in town about the aliens in the forest who are planning an attack on this town. We need everyone to get to safety.”
The band members looked at each other puzzled then back to the kids.
The lead singer laughed a bit “Woah, kids what are you talking about? I thought we were the crazy ones. Like tell me, what do you mean aliens?”
Bobby answered in a panic, “There are aliens who are going to attack the town, we need to warn everyone in town. We saw a sliver saucer land out in the forest, and the General was there with scientists. They met with the aliens and we over heard the General say the aliens will attack. It’s pretty straight forward, so what we need to so now is get adults to help us warn everyone in town. Hopefully we can find a way to stop the attack or at least get everyone in town to safety”
The lead singer nodded “Dude, that story sounds so cool, it sounds like a song idea. I could work that into some cool lyrics” The other band members nodded and agreed as the drummer started making drumming noises and nodded his head.
The lead guitar player turned to the lead singer “Yeah dude. We could so, like make that happen or something. It could be like a number one hit for us”
The cry wolves’ gang looked at each other as they were caught off guard by how the band was reacting. They weren’t expecting the response. They thought the band would start helping right away.
Before the kids could say another word a woman in a dark business suit stepped forward “I’m the band manager while there in town” she tuned to the band “Don’t bother with these little kids, I’ve heard about them. There known around town as the cry wolves’ gang, there famous for running around town making up silly stories and trying to fool people into believing there real”.
“Oh cool dude,” the bass player said, “I love made up stories of aliens, I think,” he paused for a moment “Or I do like stories about ghosts …umm…not sure” he stared into the night sky.
Timmy felt shocked “No this is real, were not making this up. There really are aliens in the forest who will attack the town tomorrow. We just came from there, we saw the aliens walked down a ramp from the saucer”
“Cool, aliens…rock on” The lead singer said as he acted like he was playing a guitar.
The lady stepped by the kids “We don’t have time for this. We need to head off and get to the next city. We have another show to put on”
Kyle spoke up “You can go out onto Forest Road, the General will stop you, we saw guards on the road while we ran through the forest. They might still be there. If they see you driving down the road they might take you away. You might even be chased by the men in black”
“Dude” the drummer said “That’s like cool or something. I love what I’m hearing”
The business manager shook her head in frustration “Like I said, the band needs to move on” she took out her phone and made the call for the limo to pull up to the front of the Inn. “We don’t have time for made up stories about aliens. Everyone knows there are no aliens and you kids can’t seem to stop making up stories”
The band members nodded then looked up to the stars and pointed to the cool looking stars; but then again they weren’t to sure where they were or what was happening. It was usual for them while on tour.
“But I want to see the cool aliens” the bass player said as the others nodded.
She shook her head in frustration “We don’t have time for this silliness. Theses kids are just out for autographs to sell on the Internet. Or worse they have something weird waiting for you out in the forest and they’ll record it and post it online for a laugh. We can’t have kids ruining your image for a few laugh.”
A long black limo pulled up along side the sidewalk.
She turned to the band members “Now get into the limo,” She said as she snapped her fingers.
The band members quickly moved as fast as possible and got inside.
“Sorry dudes we have to head out or something. Need to rock on somewhere else” the lead singer said from the window, he wasn’t to sure where he was. He looked up to the sky “Are we like, in outer space right now, or something?”
The manager looked back to the kids “You kids have a weird way of trying to get autographs. We don’t have time to waste. We need to leave now. No one is going to believe your silly stories ” She got into the limo and the kids watched it drive off into the darkness.
Timmy turned to Sam in the silence. “Well, that was a waste of time”
“We can’t give up though,” Sam said “We need to tell everyone, even if we have to knock on every door throughout the night, we will, no way can we let the aliens attack and the military just sit back. We need to save our town”
Bobby pointed across the street to the flower shop “Look there’s Norris.” He called out “He’ll believe us” the kids ran up to him as he was locking up the front door of his shop.
Fifty-year-old Norris turned around at the last second and jumped when he saw the kids running towards him “Oh, its you kids. For a moment I was nervous of who was running at me in the dark. How can I help you? Mind you the store is closed and it is late, you kids should be at home, resting like all kids should be”
Kyle started speaking as fast as he could “Norris we have to warn you, there are aliens who are going to attack this town. We saw them in the forest just now. We over heard the General saying the aliens want to attack us”
He laughed, shook his head and went back to locking up the store “When will you kids stop making up stories. This really has to stop. It’s too late in the night to be hearing such silliness. I don’t have time for you”
The kids looked at each other in surprise.
“Were not making this up,” Kyle said, “This is real. I know we made up stories in the past but this time we’re telling the truth. This really happened. Anytime aliens will attack”
Norris looked up into the night sky for a second “I don’t see any of the aliens your speaking of, could it be they’re not up there because they don’t exist at all. You kids are always making up stories; I remember you came running into my store one day telling me there were giant lizards running around town. Then a few weeks later you tried telling me a great flood was on its way and everyone in town had to help build a large boat. Well I’m not listening to your stories anymore, especially tonight; I’m too tired to be wasting my time with silly stories. I will need to call your parents and have them send you guys to the hospital. This is not good, there something wrong with you young kids, the way you run around town making up silly stories. Something isn’t right with you ”
Sam backed away “Oh were just kidding. Just practicing for the show tomorrow. We won’t bother you anymore” He stated to walk away.
The other boys quickly looked at Sam and then each other confused as they followed behind.
Half a block further down Timmy walked next to Sam “What are you dong? Why did you tell him we were joking around? We need people to help us. The more adults who know the better”
Sam shook his head. “You saw the way he was looking at us. There was no way he was going to believe a word we said, he was talking about having us taken away to a hospital. He thinks were crazy. We can’t risk that. We need to come up with a better plan. We can spend every second from now until tomorrow telling everyone in town about the aliens and no one will believe a word. We could be locked up for disturbing the peace, then who’ll stop the invasion ”
Timmy and the others knew he was right; they couldn’t risk being taken away either from a doctor or policeman. They needed a better plan.
They kept walking along the
dark quiet sidewalk, each one lost in his own thoughts, trying to come up a great plan to save everyone.
Timmy had a million thoughts in his head. He couldn’t understand it, someone in town had to believe them. How difficult was it to believe a story about aliens attacking a small town?
They passed by the intersection of Simcoe Street. As Charles King walked passed by them and looked back.
“You kids looked bothered by something. Is everything all right?” he asked.
Sam didn’t know what to say, Should he tell him the truth about the aliens? What if he laughs at them? What if he thinks there crazy and wants to tell the police? There was no way he would believe their story, who would? Its not the type of thing you tell someone right away. Then again he did work for the paper. Maybe there was a way he could get the message out. Before Sam could decide what to do Bobby spoke up.
“Something weird is in the forest” he said in a panic “This town is in danger”
Charles looked at them confused. He was clearly shocked by what he heard “Town in danger what do you mean?”
Sam panicked for a moment. What if Bobby tells him everything and instead of helping them warn the town, Charles just calls the police telling them kids are out late rambling on about strange stories involving aliens. He decided to step in “Oh, nothing we can’t handle” He quickly said without realizing he was speaking. “What Bobby meant was, he thought the
