Chapter 10

"When will she wake up?" I heard Uncle Jack ask.

"Her thoughts brain waves are 100% accurate in efficiency. She should be waking up any second." I heard Sara tell him. I groaned and slowly opened my eyes to see four heads hovering over me with the most frantic expressions I had ever seen.

"Do I have a bug on my forehead because if I do please tell me." I joked. It caused everyone…except Seth to smile.

"Help me up." I said. Uncle Jack put his arms on my back and slowly lifted me into a sitting position. I was so stiff it felt like I had to crack my whole body to relax.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Right when you faded that Harland dude showed up and decided to give us a little extra help." Jack said. I looked around at the place and found that we were in a trailer. That guys trailer to be exact.

"So what happened to the cab?" I asked in confusion.

"Let's just say my boss may be getting a call from the FBI about our beaten up car." Jack said with a smirk. I smiled and clapped my hands.

"So how are you feeling?" Alex asked. I looked at her and shrugged.

"Stiff, but alive and ok." I told her.

"Well good because we're hitting the road." Uncle Jack exclaimed and went to take the wheel. Alex followed behind him and once they were up front Sara pulled me into a hug. I gasped a bit because of the small pain, but hugged her back anyway.

"Do not worry me like that again Jessica Bruno." She scolded me.

"Ok mom." I said with a laugh. She smiled and pulled away going to curl up on the couch. I turned and looked for Seth who for some reason had given me my hello-again hug. I caught a glimpse of blonde hair disappear behind the back room wall and decided to investigate. I slowly stood up and held onto my aching side as I wobbled along. When I got to the room I saw Seth sitting on the edge of the bed messing with the blue device.

"Hey how come you didn't say hello?" I whined and went to sit down beside him. He looked up at me with a frown and then looked back down at the device.

"You should be resting. Sleep will reduce the pain and help heal your body's injuries." I rolled my eyes at his smarts.

"I'm fine Seth. It was just an accident." I assured him, but it looked like he wasn't buying it.

"I could have been there." He whispered and looked away from me.

"No you couldn't have. Plus I'm fine." I empathize. He ignored me and kept playing with the device which made me a little mad.

"Fine I'll go to bed when you do. That means no more device playing." I said and with the sudden (probably not very smart) idea I grabbed the device from him and stood up as quick as I could. Seth scowled and reached for me, but I stepped out of his way.

"I could dump water on your head again." He suggested as he slowly stood up.

"You'll just have to corner me first." I teased. A smirk formed on his lips as he took menacing steps towards me. I gasped when my back hit the wall (was not expecting that).

"You mean like this?" He whispered as he towered over me. As I stared up at him I bit my lip. Ever so slowly his face inched towards mine. He was so close to me that our lips were barley touching. Just being this close to him landed a thousand butterflies in my stomach. When he leaned forward to close the gap between us I made a last minute move and turn my head to the side. His lips caught my cheek and he pulled back as I started to giggle. This time his cheeks were fire red and I'm pretty sure mine were too. I handed him back his device and grabbed his hand leading him out of the room and back in with everyone else. I could still feel his kiss on my cheek and couldn't help but begin to imagine what it would be like to kiss his lips. I sat down on the couch opposite of Sara and pulled Seth down with me.

"Now can you go to sleep for me?" I asked. He rolled his eyes, but agreed in the end. I got up to give him room so he could get comfortable. Once he was stretched out he gently pulled me down to him so that my head was on his chest. He put one hand underneath his head and the other rested on his chest close to my hand. I closed my eyes, but stayed awake until I finally felt his breathing relax. I let my thoughts wonder and sighed as I thought about Seth

A good nap later

"Who would have guessed that aliens would look like kids?" I heard Alex exclaim. I yawned and light started to peak through my eyelids. I opened my eyes and looked around the place. Alex and Uncle Jack were up in front. Sara was curled into a ball on the other couch while Seth and I were on the other. Seth was still asleep and during the night on hand has found its way into my hair and the other one was lying limp on my waist. How adorable!

"They're lucky you joined us…we're lucky you joined us." Jack replied. I smiled and decided some conversations were better off uninterrupted so I stayed silent.

"Luck has nothing to do with it. It's pure science. Chaos theory…the underlined order in the parallel data." She stated.

"So more like Fate?" Jack asked.

"Um, science. Think about it. What are the odds that they would crash near Vegas during a UFO convention? I got in your cab, and then they got in your cab and now we're in Harland's mobile home with his Intel on where their ship is! That is not luck. That is the predetermined order of how things work in the universe." She exclaimed. I smiled at her logic.

"You've always been this positive?" Jack asked.

"I've always been a searcher for answers. Though my folks would say I was just a day dreamer. How about you?" She contradicted.

"Me?! I'm a much easier book to read. All my life my answers have been either a yes or a no." Jack replied. It made me feel a bit sad remembering all the hard memories he's shared with me.

"What's the mustang? Yes or a no?" She asked. I remembered Uncle Jacks Mustang picture he carried around with him and couldn't help but wonder why Alex was going through his wallet…anyway none of my business.

"Not just any mustang. That's a 1968 port mustang GT 390 fast back. Steve McQueen's car in Bullet. You've never seen bullet?" Jack replied. Oh Jack please no! I've seen bullet about a million times all because of that car.

"No." She hesitantly replied. I heard Jack sigh and knew that he would make her watch that movie one day.

"Well it's currently a no, but one day I'm gonna earn that car. The honest way." Jack said. I smiled and knew that when Jack said it he meant it. Uncle Jack had been in and out of Jail a couple times when I was littler and just starting with him after the accident. I was about twelve at the time of his third arrest and when they put me in a foster home I would always run and find him. Once he got out he turned his life around and I was permitted to stay in his custody. I've been with him ever since. I smiled at the thought of Jack wrestling with me when I was a little girl, but my thoughts were interrupted when Seth started to wake beneath me. I looked down to see his bright blue eyes staring up at me. I smiled at him and snuggled down into his chest. I felt his arm tighten around my waist to keep my on top of him as he slowly sat up.

"Jack?" He said in a cute innocent voice.

"What's up buddy?" Jack asked. I looked over at Sara who had just gotten up and yawned before coming and sitting over by us.

"Are we there yet?" Seth asked. My eyes wet wide as Jack, Alex and I shared a "OMG" look before bursting into laughter. I took a deep breath causing my stomach and my sides to stretch out. It caused me to gasp and when my hand touched my stomach I remembered that yesterday I had been shot by the droid.

"Are we there yet? Good in any universe apparently. Well Alex?" He said as Alex ruffled through her bag and pulled out a map.

"Well….yes were almost there." She said and pointed ahead to a huge mountain. I smiled and leaned back into Seth.

"Let me look at your bruises." Sara said. I nodded and pulled my shirt up over my stomach and side. I gasped at the look of my skin. Several large portions of my skin were a terrible purple, yellow and blue color. Sara reached over and prodded my side with her hand causing me to bit my lip hard.

"The healing is going well." She said with approval. I smiled and pulled my shirt back down. We came to a stop behind some bushes and we all climbed out of the trailer.

"Well the maps are about 30 years old, but they appear to be the best reference we have. It seems that we're about 5 miles from the entrance." Alex said and pointed north up the mountain.

"Well let's go." I said and we started the trek. It was hard to go up hill with my side, but with Seth's hand on my back guiding me it was possible to do. The higher we climbed the fewer obstacles we encountered thankfully. I mean we had to climb over some large rocks, bushes, and make sure we didn't get attacked by an animal. Nothing to worry about, right? The last obstacle we faced was a small stream flowing down from the top. It was pretty wide so we had to take turns jumping from one large rock to another. Seth and I were the last ones to go across. I took a wrong step with my foot and almost landed in the water had Seth not caught me.

"Thanks." I whispered. He smiled and helped me the rest of the way across. Finally we got to the spot where part of the mountain divides. I looked over the edge and saw the entrance was heavily guarded.

"There has to be another way." I suggested.

"Well if the maps right there's several service tunnels running outward." Alex explained. I nodded and grabbed onto Seth's hand.

"Let's go." I said. I let Alex lead this time because she was the one with the map. As we made our way back to the main trail I felt something sharp hit my neck. I gasped and reached back. I pulled out something and brought the object close to my face. It was a dart!?

"Seth!" I gasp and felt my legs give out from under me. Before I could hit the ground Seth's hands caught me only to have his legs give out and both of us fall to the ground. I heard muffled voices and a thud as someone else went down.

"What did you do to them?!" I heard Uncle Jacks muffled voice. I fought with my eyelids to stay awake.

"Consider yourself lucky…" The voice trailed off into the distance and I let my eyelids drop.
