Chapter 3 - Explanations
When Cade, Scott and Paul jumped from the car they ran after the train and climbed into one of the boxcars as the train slowed down. Cade had hurt his ankle when he jumped from the car.
The three sat in a corner of the carriage. They were all out of breath and wondering what to do next.
"Would you mind telling me what is going on?" asked Cade as he rubbed his ankle.
"We could ask the same of you," replied Scott.
"Why are the cops after you?" asked Cade.
"It sounded like they were after you," replied Scott
"I beg to differ," replied Cade in frustration.
"Who are you?" asked Scott.
"I could ask the same of you," replied Cade.
"Hold on you two. This isn't getting us anywhere," Paul interjected.
"Ok. Let's start over," replied Cade.
"Sounds fair enough," Scott said.
"I told you who I was back there," Paul said.
"My name is Cade Foster," replied Cade.
"Wait a minute, Now I know where I saw you before," Scott said suddenly. "I saw you on America's Most Wanted. You are wanted for murdering your wife."
"I'm innocent. I was set up," replied Cade.
"I remember more of your case now. You claimed... aliens..." Scott trailed off and looked at his father.
"Aliens what?" asked Paul.
"Aliens killed my wife," replied Cade waiting for the usual reaction that came from people when he told them the story.
Scott and Paul looked at each other in shock. They didn't know what to say.
Cade winced as he felt the pain in his ankle.
"Are you alright?" asked Paul.
"I think my ankle is broken," replied Cade "So now you know who I am and why the cops were after me. It's my turn to ask the questions. Why are the cops after you?"
"We are looking for the Scott's mother," replied Paul.
"That doesn't explain why the cops are after you,"
"A man named George Fox from the Federal Security Agency is after us," answered Paul knowing what the next question was going to be.
"Why?" asked Cade.
"I am an alien," replied Paul. Cade stared at him as he said this and reached into his pocket for his gun. Cade pulled it out and pointed it at Paul.
"You are Gua!" he exclaimed as the two looked shocked at what had now happened.
"Gua? I don't know what you mean?" asked Paul.
"You said you were an alien," replied Cade.
"I am but I am not a Gua," said Paul
"You are not Gua!" repeated Cade in confusion. "If you are an alien and you are not Gua then who...what the hell are you?"
"I am from a star called Algeiba far way from here," Paul said softly.
"Is your race trying to invade us as well?" asked Cade incredulously.
"No. We are a peaceful race. I am here to help my son find his mother," replied Paul.
"Have you heard of the Gua?"
"No. Who are they?" asked Paul.
"They are the race that are planning to invade us. They want to destroy the human race for their own purposes," replied Cade. He winced again as the pain in his ankle got worse.
"Your ankle is broken," Paul said.
"I know," replied Cade.
"I can help you," Paul said taking out the silver energy sphere.
"Get that thing away from me!" exclaimed Cade thinking it was a Gua consciousness orb.
"Hold still," instructed Paul as the sphere began to glow brightly. Cade felt a warmth in his ankle as sphere worked it's magic. He felt the pain disappear. The sphere stopped glowing and Paul put it away.
"I mean you no harm," Paul said recollecting the words he had said to Jennie all those years ago.
