aliens or their families missing. They slowly turned and made there way out the building and stood on the sidewalk as a few cars drove past, feeling defeated and more depressed then ever. They didn’t know what to say. They walked across the street to the park and sat down on the swings.
“Were in trouble guys.” Sam said in a low voice, “It looks as though no adult in this town will believe us. We could broadcast the story from the tallest building, but it won’t make any difference. How on earth can we get the adults to see the truth before it’s too late? Our families are gone and at any moment aliens are going to attack”
“Could this get any worse?” Timmy asked as he looked up into the blue sky. “Were are the aliens? Why can’t we see them?”
Kyle slowly looked up and noticed a police officer crossing the street towards them “Look guys, it’s officer Reed, he’s headed this way. I bet he believes us. Going to the police did help out after all”
The other kids looked up and saw the officer approaching. They sat up straight and looked at each other with hope.
Officer Reed walked up to them with a smile “Hey boys, I couldn’t help but over hear you talking to the chief about a UFO and aliens”
Bobby jumped up off the swing “We sure did, they’re up in the sky right now ready to attack our town. We saw them in the forest and just now men in black took our families. We want to get them back but no one will believe us”
Kyle added in “Not only that, but we also know about the military planning on sitting back and letting the aliens attack this town and they’re not going to do anything to stop them”
The officer Reed nodded with a smile “Well, well. Aliens attacking this small town, imagine how you kids found out about that. Guess what? I know where the men in black took your families”
The three other boys shot off their swings and looked at each other in disbelief.
“You know where they are?” Bobby yelled out. “We need to get them. Make sure there safe”
Timmy and Kyle quickly nodded.
Officer Reed looked down at the kids and spoke in a soft voice. “I was driving around last night and noticed your family members getting into black cars and driving away. Something didn’t seem right. I had a feeling something was wrong. I followed them until they reached Forest Road. I quickly went back to the station and told the chief about it but he wouldn’t believe me”
The kids looked at each other in shock.
“What?” Sammy called out “Wouldn’t believe you?”
Officer Reed looked at the kids “He said to ignore it because it must’ve been my imagination”
“Imagined it?” Kyle yelled out “What kind of a police chief tells someone they imagined a kidnapping? Is he serious? You saw black cars taking away our families, and he said you imagined it. I feel like going back into that station right now and telling him what I think,” Kyle said as Bobby nodded.
“No need for that.” Officer Reed said, “I know were your families are being held, we can rescue them. I can help you find a way to stop the aliens from attacking as well. We can save this town”
The kids cheered.
“Alright that’s what I like to hear” Kyle yelled out “lets do this”
“We’ll confront the men in black who took your families” Officer Reed said. “No way will they kidnap any of your family members and think they will get away with it and there is no way I’ll let evil aliens attack this quite town”
“You got that right” Kyle said “Lets go get them right now”
The others looked at each other and nodded with eagerness.
Officer Reed smiled “Let’s head over to my police car were we can go for a drive”
“Yeah,” Bobby yelled out “Arrest the kidnappers and stop the invasion. Finally we’re getting somewhere. Taking the fight to them”
“You got that right Bobby. We finally got an adult to believe us.” Timmy yelled out. “We’re not going to stand around anymore waiting, we’re taking action”
The kids quickly followed officer Reed across the street towards the police parking lot. They passed a few other cars and made they’re way towards his black and white police car and stood by the car’s door as officer Reed unlocked it. Timmy pulled open the passenger side and jumped inside, as Kyle, Bobby and Sam quickly got in the back.
Officer Reed walked around and got into the car driver side. “We’ll head out to the highway and stop at the military base and locate your families and get them out of there”
“They’re being held at the military base?” Sam asked.
Kyle spoke from the back seat. “When we get there we’ll need to talk to the General right away. Tell him not to sit back and let the aliens destroy our town. There has to be another way. They can’t let aliens demonstrate the power of their weapons and destroy a town in the process. They need to defend the human race.”
Officer Reed smiled as they drove along Main Street headed towards Forest Road “You kids seem to know a lot about the aliens.”
“We sure do” Bobby said, “We watched the alien saucer land in the forest. While we were hiding we watched the General pull up in his jeep and met with the aliens face to face and we over heard him saying the aliens are going to attack our town”
Kyle added “We also figured out on our own the General is going to sit back and let the aliens attack because he wants to see the alien weapons in use, so he can have them for his own army”
“Well you sure are a smart group of kids” Officer Reed said.
“Were just glad you can help us.” Kyle said “We need to do everything we can to stop the alien attack. Its good you believe us, it’s impossible to get people around here to believe in aliens”
“Oh I believe all right,” officer Reed whispered.
As they drove along Main Street Sam looked out the window and watched everyone in town getting ready for the variety show. Some were walking down the sidewalk dressed in their costumes. One woman was dressed in a massive swan outfit. Another group of teenage kids were dressed as pirates. At one corner stood a group of kids dressed in white suits with red stripes singing as a barbershop quartet getting one last practice in before the show. Seemed like everyone in town was headed in one direction, the town hall, which made Sam nervous. Having everyone in one spot was not a good idea. If the aliens hit the building, everyone will be lost at once.
Timmy watched the kids walking towards the town hall. Just a few days ago, it was the only thing on his mind. His whole world was about winning the variety talent show. Now the only thing on his mind was saving the town itself. Funny how things could change so quickly. One minute he’s a kid practicing a play caring only about being famous. Now he’s found himself having to find a way to save a town and rescue his parents. How was he going to do it? He knew his life would never be the same after this, now that he knew aliens were real. Everything in his life would now be called into questions, from religion to his future job and life. Watching a movie about aliens would never be the same. Hearing stories of alien abduction would be looked at differently. How could anyone live the same life after finding out The worst part is knowing he will have to keep the information to himself. He knew he saw an alien and a saucer, but who would ever believe him. its not the type of thing you can tell someone when you meet them. He looked at the kids walking towards the town hall and realized how lucky they were in not knowing the truth, but it was his job to save them all. The kids in town would be free of the stress of knowing of the invasion which would only lead to panic and disorder.
Within a few minutes the police car was clear of Main Street and out into Forest Road.
Officer Reed had a small smile as he drove along. The trees blocked out the morning sun. The inside of the car got darker “When I was your age I saw a alien once”
The kids quickly looked over to him in shock.
“What?” Bobby called out “No way, you saw an alien as well?”
“I was fishing with my dad many years ago. I was just a
child, seven years old. It was nighttime, just the two of us alone for the weekend at the cottage. We were in our fishing boat when I notice a light in the sky. It was quiet, never made a sound. We watched it for a minute; it started to come down closer towards us. The river and our boat had lit up in a bright white light. I had never seen anything like it before. It wasn’t an airplane. It wasn’t anything man made. It moved closer, as if it knew we were there and it was coming after us. What could we do? We were on a boat. You can’t just run away. The bright light had moved above our heads. We looked up at the source of the light and the next thing we knew we were both waking up on the shore next to our cottage in the morning sunrise. A few loons were resting in the water with the morning dew around us. Our campfire had burned itself out and neither one of us could recall how we lost eight hours”
“That’s so weird” Kyle said quietly.
Officer Reed continued “We both had odd dreams afterwards. So we went to see a doctor, he put us under hypnosis and I remembered everything. The aliens had taken us on their ship. The aliens were looking at me and had strange machines and instruments all around them. The walls of the ship where grey and lifeless, it was if the aliens lack emotion. I didn’t know what was happening, like a child in an operating room. Your confused, they stood around me looking at me with those large black oval eyes, but they never said a word”
