Title: the rest do not see
Prologue
What do most people know about Roswell? The world at large knows very little about the Roswell of everyday life. 1951 was the year in which all of this changed. 1951 was the year in which the whole world saw Roswell in a different light. In 1951 a ship crashed in a field. Roswell has built a tourist industry around this crash. Every year the locals have a convention for all the believers of aliens. Before the crash of 1951 Roswell was nothing more than a pit stop in the middle of nowhere. Apart from the crash of 1951 Roswell isn't known for very much. Fifty years have passed since the crash of 1951 and even after 50 years the secrets of that fateful night still haven't been revealed. Every year you get someone saying they know what happened that night. The truth is no one actually knows what happened that night. No one knows what really happened apart from a few guys and me from the government, but I'm not telling anyone what happened that night. You see there has been more than one crash in Roswell. The crash of 1951 was reported to the papers before it could be covered up. As a result of this crash we have a booming town. The crash of 1951 has allowed the government to cover up the events that occurred after that crash and the events, which have occurred after the crash. There are some things about Roswell that most people do not know about. We have aliens in our local high school. No, I'm not kidding. We have four aliens in the local high school and before you ask they look exactly like everyone else. Roswell high school aliens are not the only unusual students there; we also have students that have a very special gift. Something that makes the student so unique, that people are hunting that student across America.
Roswell Town.
The crashdown.
The only occupants in the crashdown at the moment where Liz, Evans, Michael, Alex, Maria, Isabel and Tess. They where holding a meeting to discuss everything that had happened, it was also a meeting to clear the air. The only person missing form their meeting was Kyle.
"Where is Kyle," asked Michael who was beginning to lose what little patience he had left waiting for Kyle to turn up.
"He said he would be here. He just said he had something else to sort out first," said Liz as she put a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
"What could possibly be more important than this," snapped Tess
"Why don't you ask him when he gets here," said Liz.
"Fine I will," answered Tess
Before anyone else could start talking again Kyle walked though the crashdown doors. He grabbed a chair from a nearby table and pulled it up to sit next to Liz and the others.
"Where have you been," asked Tess.
"I've had something to sort out," said Kyle in a calm tone of voice.
"Why are you so late," asked max, glancing at the clock on the wall.
"None of your god damn business," snapped Kyle.
"I think we have a right to know. For all we know you could have just sold us out to the skins," Isabel pointed out
"What I do in my spare time has nothing to do with you," said Kyle trying to keep the fragile hold on his temper.
"We all want to know why you're late for this meeting," asked an irate Michael
Kyle calmly looked at all of them and spoke up.
"Do any of you trust me," Kyle asked
No one answered straight away, but then Liz spoke up.
"I trust you Kyle. You have helped me when I have needed your help. Your always there when I need to talk to you," said Liz
"That doesn't answer my question Liz. I wouldn't worry I know the answer to the question. You all trust me about as far as you can spit. So if none of you trust me why should I tell you what I've been doing in my spare time," said Kyle
"We asked you too," said Tess with a deceptively sweet smile
"Guys do you have to do this to Kyle. He has always been there when you've needed him. Why would he sell you to the skins now," said Liz coming to her friends defence.
"He slept with you," said Max.
At this bombshell there was a sharp intake of breath.
"You didn't tell me this," said Maria. Normally she and Liz would share everything together.
"Liz had nothing tell you Maria. Liz has never slept with me," said Kyle as Max let a short bitter laugh.
"I saw you in the same bed together," said Max
"We shared the same bed Evans, but we never slept together. She's always been too hung up on you. When you saw us in the bed together Liz had her underwear on. She would never sleep with me Evans our relationship never went down that path," said Kyle as he ran a hand though his hair.
"Why did you let me believe that you had slept with Kyle," asked Max
"You and Tess belong together Max. You need to be together. It was the only way I could get you to let me go. It was the only way I could make you see what you were missing with Tess. You and Tess belong to each other and you need one and another," said Liz.
Max sat there in stunned silence and Kyle just looked at him with a knowing smile on his face. It as though he had been planning to do this all along.
"Kyle are you going to tell us why you are late for this meeting," asked Alex
"I had some personal arrangements to look after," said Kyle not willingly to go any further.
"Such as," asked Isabel
"It's a secret," said Kyle though gritted teeth
"Tell us your secret then. We told you that we were aliens. What could be more shocking than that," asked Tess using a different tack.
Kyle got up from his seat and started pacing. After a few minutes he finally came to a stop.
"There are things in this world that are a lot worse than being an alien," said Kyle
"How can you say that," snapped Michael
"It's the truth. If anyone ever captured any of you, what is the worst they could possibly do to any of you. Cut you into little pieces, put you under the microscope. If certain people found out about me anything they would do to you would be mild in comparison," said Kyle with a small pained grin.
"What is your secret," asked Max
"You may not trust or believe what I say, but I don't really care what you think anymore. I'm not entirely human," said Kyle waiting for the laughter to come.
"How dare you do this? How dare you lie to us," snapped Tess
"Are you like them," asked Alex pointing a finger in Max's, Isabel, Tess and Michael direction.
"No. I'm nothing like them," said Kyle
"If you're not human what are you," asked Max
"If you breath a word of what I'm about to tell you to anyone outside of this room, I will kill you in an instant," said Kyle in a menacing tone of voice.
"You wouldn't do that to us we're your friends," stuttered Liz trying and failing to keep the shock out of her voice.
"I've done it before Liz and I'll do it again," said Kyle as he looked at the whole group. He could see the dawning realization of what he had just casually said sink in. He had just admitted to killing someone.
"You've killed someone," said Michael.
"You want the truth or a lie," asked Kyle.
"The truth," Michael replied.
"Yes I have. Now you want to know who I really am. I am a government mistake. I am 50% human and 50 % alien. A failed genetic experiment. I was engineered to be the perfect warrior. The experiment went wrong somehow. Me and my other siblings began dying in the most painful way you can imagine. The government watched as I died in agony. When I finally died they buried me in an unmarked grave. What they failed to realize was that I didn't die and that their experiment had worked. Now thanks to you and your group Evans the government knows I'm alive again. Now they know I'm alive there going to come after me and they won't stop until they find me" said Kyle as he slumped back down into the chair.
"Why didn't you tell us? You have every right to be involved in this group. Your part of us," said Max as he held out a hand in friendship towards Kyle. Kyle took hold of Max's hand and shook it.
"So are you related to any of them," asked Alex as the others gave him a sharp look
"As a matter of fact I am," Kyle replied with a wicked grin
"Who," asked Tess
"Michael. We share the same mother," replied Kyle as he watched there shocked expressions.
"That explains and quite a lot," said Maria
"Your my brother. How is that possible," asked Michael
"When the ship crashed in 1951. They found the bodies of three females and four males. All but five of them died before the government agents came onto the scene. Our mother was the only one who survived the crash. They took our mother to their lab and experimented on her. I was the result of one of those experiments," said Kyle as he once again got up from his seat.
"Why do the government want you," asked Isabel
"I am there their perfect soldier. They want me back so I can fulfil their mission. So they can find out why I didn't die with my siblings," said Kyle with a shudder.
"We won't let that happen to you," said Michael. Now he knew who Kyle really was, he wasn't about to lose him to the same government men who had tried to kill max.
"Michael don't make promise you can't keep," said Kyle
"Whose your father. I mean it can't be the sheriff can it," said Alex
"No, I'm adopted. The sheriff knows who I am. That's why his always been so protective of me. My real father is called Adam and lives in a place called Seacouver," said Kyle with a grin
"Hang on a minute you said you and your siblings died. How is that possible? Your sitting here alive," said Max. Who felt as if he was stating the obvious.
"Oh, that. Yeah I did die. Technically I've been dead for the last 12 years," said Kyle
"But... but your alive," stuttered Maria.
"I do know that Maria. You see I died due to those experiments and I came back to life. Before you ask, it means I am an immortal," said Kyle
"Immortal," asked Max having no idea what he was on about.
"Immortal, I can live for a very long time. I can't die," said Kyle.
"Are you like those immortals from that TV show highlander," asked Alex
"Yes and no. You can't kill me by slicing my head of with a sword. I would heal far too quickly for that to happen," said Kyle as he got up out of his seat and headed towards the crashdowns exit.
"Hey, where are you going," asked Michael.
"I need to get some air. I'll see you tomorrow Michael," said Kyle as he walked out of the crashdown. Leaving the others in stunned silence behind him.
