I let out a breath once we entered inside the tunnel.

"We can't let him destroy it" Seth said to Sara. He was referring to the second device they had came for. Sara nodded her head in response. I was taking in deep breathes and letting them out quickly.

"Who is he?" Jack asked "And this time I need real answers"

"Yeah" I whispered

"It's a siphon" Sara told us.

"A what?"

"He's an assassin" Seth answered "Trained to pursue his target until his mission is completed"

"And his mission is…?"

"Us" Sara whispered but it was something Jack and I both figured out before she answered.

Just then, there was a blue light glowing at the end of the tunnel. The siphon was there. I gripped the arm of person closest to me, which happened to be Seth. I held my breath as the light seemed to glow closer towards the taxi.

Jack had his hands near the key ignition at any moment. Suddenly the light was gone. I breathed a sigh of relief. Surely the siphon had moved on.

Jack cautiously began to drive us out of the tunnel.

I was still holding on to Seth's arm. I immediately let go.

"I'm sorry" I whispered.

"You were fine, Astrid" He responded.

Then we were blasted by the siphon. For one moment the taxi was airborn, whipping us around. WE headed towards a bridge and it was blast after blast after blast. I ducked my head between my arms. Jack drove us through a tunnel again, only this time the siphon followed us. The siphon could hardly fit in the tunnel though. Sparks flew everywhere.

Then there was a train. Jack was driving as fast as he could, but it wasn't good enough.

"Faster!" Seth screamed.

"It won't go any faster!" Jack screamed back.

Sara did what she had done earlier, holding her hand out and pushing upon the gas with I assume just her mind. We were going at speeds they told us never to go back in Driver's Education.

We flew out of the tunnel, barely missing the train.

Once it was all over, I began to cry. Tears were falling down my face as Jack pulled us to the side of the road. He was getting out of the taxi cab to check on the engine.

"Astrid?" Sara began to speak.

"I'm fine" I said. I wrapped my arms around my legs.

"If you were fine" Seth said "You would not have tears falling down your face."

"I just want to go home" I mumbled.

"Home to your apartment with your friend who is never around or home to your parents who you haven't spoken to in months" Sara questioned.

I shifted in my seat. Could she read minds or something? I meant, Home where things were safe.

Sara looked down at her device in her hand again.

"I'm guessing that's where you want to get to now as well?" I asked.

Sara nodded her head.

"But we're going to need your help" She said.

"We are" Seth told me.

"And Jack's" Sara pointed out.

Seth's face fell. "We cannot trust him."

"We can" Sara said. "We must. I can feel it."

It was at that moment Jack got back into the taxi cab, slamming the door. He did not look happy.

"You ok, Astrid?" Jack asked upon getting in the car. "I know today must've been…"

"She's fine" Seth answered.

"I'm fine" I said afterwards, confirming it.

Sara sighed. "We know you are frustrated, Jack Bruno."

Jack held up a hand. "Uh uh, no more 'Jack Bruno this, Jack Bruno that…' I want some real answers."

"You know the answers, Jack Bruno" Sara said. "My brother and I are indeed not from your planet."

"I thought that like fifteen minutes ago" I announced.

Jack began to laugh. "That's it then. So that's it? Mystery solved? You two want me to believe that you're both aliens?"

"It is the truth" Seth said.

"It makes sense" I added "given everything that's happened today"

"Yeah, well, they don't look like aliens" Jack said.

"What does an alien look like, Jack Bruno?" Sara asked.

"You know what aliens look like. Little green people with antennas and laser guns and "take me to your leader earthlings, oooooh" Jack said.

I rolled my eyes. "I've worked at that space convention all week long, and you and I both know that there are different types of alien forms based on people's costumes. For example: Star wars."

"You require some sort of proof" Sara stated. She turned towards her brother "He thinks we're insulting his intelligence"

"yeah, I mean, you don't just drop the whole "we're aliens" bomb on someone like that" Jack said "and expect me to believe…"

Sara held up her hand and little things within the cab began to float. My backpack tried to escape in the air as well. "I have the ability to move objects with my mind."

"That's impossible" Jack said stunned.

Sara shook her head. "It's quite possible on our planet as well as yours. You don't do it because you haven't learned to use your full brain capacity yet."

"No" Jack answered" I don't do it because it's kind of creepy and I would like you to stop now."

Sara did so. All the little cds and coins fell to the ground. We looked up and there was a blue light similar to the siphon's from before. Jack turned the key, but the taxi wouldn't start.

"Come on, Come on."

Luckily, it was just a giant truck passing by and no siphon. The taxi cab was on the road once more. We were safe from trains, trucks and siphons….for now.
