hook line and sinker. How could they not question it? A story about a train derailment, don’t these towns’ people know there about to be attacked by aliens?”
Without saying a word they both made there way over to Bobby’s backyard. They knew it would be a matter of moments before Sam and Bobby came running out of their houses for an emergency meeting. This time phones calls would not be needed.
This was just instinctive.
Bobby stood in his living room and heard the report and started freaking out. He had to tell someone. He ran into the dining room and up to his mother “Mom the aliens are going to attack”
She was busy talking on the phone with her sister about the town’s latest gossip. She glanced over to Bobby “That’s nice dear, good to hear about your comic books”
“No mom really, while everyone is at the concert the aliens will attack our town. They’re planning on demonstrating the power of their weapons for the military. The military are planning to just sit back and let it happen. We saw a meeting between the army and the aliens out in the forest. We saw a UFO land and aliens walk out, they had really big black oval eyes”
She nodded again to him “That’s nice dear, go back to your video games, mommy has some friends to talk to” she moved from the dinning room to the living room while talking on her phone.
Bobby threw his hands in the air in frustration and gave up. He stormed to his bedroom. He stared at the poster on his wall of aliens and zombies from his favorite movies. They weren’t looking so cool now. He looked out his back window and noticed Timmy and Kyle. He knew they heard the shocking news as well. He made his way down the stairs and out the back door. Without saying a word he made his way over to Timmy and Kyle. They look at each other and knew what the others were thinking. The three of them where in over their heads and had to get an adult to help, but who would believe them?
Sam race up the stairs and quickly made his way to his room. He had no time to waste. Within a second of being in the room he turned on his computer and sat down. No matter how fast the computer loaded it wasn’t fast enough. He kept the bedroom light off. He didn’t have time to talk to his parents. His face was lit up from the bright computer monitor. His foot raced on the floor as he typed “aliens” into the search engine on the Internet. He needed to learn as much as he could. The more he knew, the better prepared he would be for the battle. His mind raced with all the different movies he had seen where aliens attacked earth. Some arrived in giant ships over major cities hidden behind fake clouds and started shooting right away, were as others arrived disguised as humans in order to work there way into high levels of office. Which one would it be for earth now? How could he stop them? What was their weakness?
Maybe they’ve been here before? Maybe hundreds of years ago they attacked earth and mankind was able to fight them off.
How on earth was a small town supposes to fight off an alien attack? Especially when everyone in the town doesn’t even know.
He came across a story of a couple abducted by aliens decades ago, while driving along a dark highway. The wife noticed a strange bright light in the sky. It was too low to be a star. They followed the light until it appeared as though the bright light had noticed them and moved above their car. The couple became nervous and wanted to leave. They took off down the road, but the light stayed with them. They stopped the car and got out and looked up at the light. It clearly was a large silver oval shaped object. The husband used his binoculars and could see “small people” moving inside the saucer through its windows. He said they where short, thin, with heads slightly bigger then a human. There was a flash of white light and they found themselves onboard the ship. They had no memory of how they got there. The wife at one point talked to one of the aliens, asked where it was from. She saw a star map appear in front of her, a hologram of the solar system. It looked as though the aliens were within our galaxy. When the couple awoke in their car they had lost five hours, yet they had no memory of what had happened. It wasn’t until they went through hypnotherapy did the full story come to life. Countless skeptics have said their story and the description of what the alien looked like have been influenced by movies, but the odd thing pointed out to the skeptics were the movies came after their story became public. How could they have been influenced by movies that were made after their abduction? In-fact movies about aliens abduction where based on the description given by the couple.
Sam read another report of a pilot decades ago while flying spotted a string of nine unusual objects flying in the sky. He described it as flat, like a pie pan, saucer like. Hench the name we use today “flying saucer”. He used the term unidentified flying objects. He claimed they traveled over a thousand miles per hour. Making it faster then supersonic, something man could not have achieved at that time. Skeptics wrote it off as a fireball bolide breaking up.
Within a few weeks reports started coming in from all over the world, from the smallest of towns to the largest of cities, yet, society refuses to believe.
He wanted to know about the General. Who was this guy? Where did he come from? He typed in the General’s name in the search engine and to his surprise it came back blank, saying nothing found. Well, that’s odd. How could nothing be found on the guy? He’s right there in his town.
He typed in Operation Stand Ground. Not surprisingly nothing came up right away linked with aliens or the General. He looked over all the web pages, there were some about operations preformed by doctors in hospitals. Others sites about how to stand tall and proud, but nothing about the General and Operation Stand Ground. After a few minutes he was about to turn off his computer when he noticed a small, obscure website on page fifteen. It simply read. “The truth about aliens” He clicked on it expecting to see countless stories about aliens and abductions, some serious some absurd. However, what he found was bizarre to say the least. It only contained a link to one video. Most pages have music or graphics to hook you in, maybe a few images of aliens. This site had nothing, just one link in blue writing on a black screen. Sam clicked in it. A video starting playing showing a news reporter during a live broadcast. She was standing outside on a sunny day by a roadside doing a report on traffic safety update. At first Sam couldn’t tell what this had to do with aliens. He was about to click the back button when suddenly a crazy old man walked up behind her. The deranged man caught the reporter off guard who stood back as the man started rambling away into the microphone about how he was a prisoner a secret base out in the desert. How the secret base had things the world never knew about but one day would. He rambled on about being in a locked cell when a flash of light occurred and he found himself in the city wondering around.
Sam knew the man; it was the crazy man who grabbed him the other day. What on earth was he doing on a live broadcast talking about a base in the desert? The crazy old man looked back into the camera and said Sam’s name. Sam nearly fell out of his seat when he heard it. The crazy man looked into the camera and told Sam to look for him in the shadows. At that moment the live feed was cut off and it went back to the anchorman in the studio who apologized for the odd interruption.
Sam played the video back and paused the video on the medium close up of the crazy man. There was no mistaking it. The name on the shirt read John Smith.
Outside Sam’s house a black car slowly drove down the street pointing the laser at each house. The car came to a stop when it reached Sam’s house. On the passenger’s laptop screen the webpage Sam was looking at about John Smith came up.
The passenger picked up his phone and made a call.
Solider 26 walked into the tent and looked at the General “Sir, I just got an important call. It looks as though one of the kids we’ve been watching is in his room right now looking up information on John Smith on the Internet”
The General leaned back at his desk in the dark. “So, they do know. There’s no way on earth they would be looking up John Smith by chance.” He looked up to solider 26. “Have them picked up. Bring them to the holdin
g cell. We can’t take any chances. We’re to close”
Sam quietly made his way out of his house and walked over to Bobby’s backyard. It didn’t surprise to find the three others waiting. Based on the look of despair on their faces he knew they heard the bad news already. Why was it no one else in town questioned the story of the derailment? How could they all just accept it?
“What happened?” Bobby said, “Have you heard anything?”
Sam paced back and forth “You guys are not going to believe this” Sam said, “The old crazy guy who grabbed me and Bobby turns out he isn’t as crazy as we first thought”
The other kids looked at each confused.
“I was doing some research on the internet. I saw a video of the guy talking about a secret location out in the desert. He didn’t say too much, but he knows more then he’s letting on. He might’ve even seen the alien itself”
The kids quickly looked at each other in shock.
“What? No way.” Bobby called out “You mean someone else has seen the same aliens we have? And there’s a secret base in the desert? There more to this then we ever could’ve imagined”
Timmy nodded “If he’s still in town we need to
