Disclaimers: the characters are not mine. It was pointed out to me that I
haven't explained who Duncan and Adam are. They are both characters from
the television show called Highlander. I am also aware that my version of
Roswell is different from the one that is currently shown on television, I
am allowed to change it if I want to. It's an AU universe and in my
version of Roswell anything can happen and will happen. I know my story may
also go a little to fast for some people, but that's the way I write. Fast
paced. I go at a slow pace when I feel the story needs it. .
2 hours later.
Kyle didn't speak a word to Michael on the ride back to his house. He didn't want to talk where he knew the others were still within earshot. He trusted Max, Isabel, Alex, Maria and Liz, but he didn't trust Tess. There was something about her that didn't feel right. Over the years Kyle had learnt to trust his instincts. After all he hadn't survived this long without trusting his instincts. The sheriff pulled the car to a stop outside the house and they all got out.
"Dad, Michael and I are going for a walk," Kyle said.
"Be careful son," the sheriff said as he watched them both walk away. The sheriff was pleased that his son had finally told Michael and the others who he really was. It would benefit both Kyle and Michael to finally get to know each other.
The sheriff walked into his house and made sure the door was safety closed. He went straight over to the sofa chair and sat down. The sheriff slowly took a piece of paper out of front pocket and unfolded the piece of paper. He stared at the piece of paper wondering if he should call the number and disrupt this other mans life, but it was important that this man knew that Kyle was his son before anything bad happened. With a shaking hand the sheriff reached over to the phone and placed it on his lap. He then picked up the phone and dialled the number he had written on the piece of paper.
It began ringing.
After the first few rings he got an answer.
"Hello Joe's blues bar what can I do for you," came the distinctive American accent of a man
"Hello my name is sheriff valenti from Roswell and I have very important information concerning a Adam Pierson," the sheriff said as he waited for a reply from the unnamed man.
Meanwhile Joes bar Seacouver
Joe held his hand over the receiver so the sheriff wouldn't be able to hear what he was saying to Adam.
"Adam do you know a sheriff valenti from Roswell," asked Joe
"No, what does this sheriff want," Adam asked
"He has some important information for you," said Joe
"Ask him what this information is about then," Adam said not willingly to speak to a complete stranger just yet. He didn't reach his age by speaking to every stranger that phoned him.
Joe took his hand of the receiver and continued his conversation with the sheriff.
"Sorry about that sheriff, but a very important customer just walked in. Could I pass this information on to Mr Pierson for you," asked Joe
"No I need to speak with Mr Pierson. You can tell him its concerning a certain project he took part in 32 years ago," the sheriff said. Hoping this would get Mr Pierson's attention.
"Could you hold the line one moment sheriff," said Joe as he put his hand over the receiver and spoke to Adam again.
"Adam the sheriff has just asked me to tell you that its concerning a project you took part in 32 years ago," said Joe as Adam's eyes went wide. He hadn't told anyone about that blasted project how did this sheriff valenti find out he was involved. Adam reached over and took the phone of Joe.
"Hello Sheriff Valenti, this is Adam Pierson. I hear you have some information to give me," Adam said.
"The project worked Mr Pierson. Project nemesis is alive and well," the sheriff said as he took a deep breath to calm his nerves.
"How do you know all of this," Adam asked.
"Project nemesis is my son Mr Pierson. Perhaps I should explain myself further. Kyle is my adopted son. The project was successful Mr Pierson. Instead of dying as a result of those experiments he became an immortal just like you are Mr Pierson," the sheriff said.
"What does this have to do with me," Adam asked
"Did you ever wonder where they got the human DNA from Mr Pierson. Kyle is your son," the sheriff said as heard Adams sharp intake of breath.
"Immortals can't have children," Adam said.
"Well apparently you have a son who is 31 one years old" the sheriff said
"Why tell me this now and why should I believe you," Adam asked
"You believe what I am telling you because you know it is the truth Mr Pierson. You can't just ignore this Mr Pierson. It is not something you can ignore anymore. This reason I am telling you this now is because the government men have found out he survived the experiment Mr Pierson. Even though Kyle won't admit it he needs you with him. You need to come to Roswell Mr Pierson. You need to come to Roswell before something terrible happens to Kyle," the sheriff said as his voice trembled with emotion.
"I'm on my way Sheriff," Adam said as he hung up the phone.
"What was all that about," asked Joe.
"Do you fancy a trip to Roswell Joseph," Adam asked
"I have the bar to run you know that, ask Macleod he'll go with you," said Joe
"No its alright I'll go on my own. I'll be seeing you Joseph Dawson," Adam said a she walked out the bar and made preparations to go to Roswell and met this Kyle Valenti.
The sheriff put the phone back on the hook. Well that wasn't so hard, so why do I feel so guilty about going behind my son's back. The sheriff got up of the sofa and headed straight to the fridge to get n ice-cold beer.
Meanwhile in Seacouver.
Adam slung his bags into the back of his car and was shocked when he saw a second set of bags thrown into the back of the car as well.
"Macleod what are you doing here," Adam asked.
"Taking a trip to Roswell with you old man," said Macleod as he got into the passengers side of the car
Adam got into the drivers side of his car and began the drive to Roswell. Adam was pleased that Macleod had found out where he was going. God bless Joe he must have rang Duncan up and told him about the phone call. This visit to Roswell was not a visit he wanted to make on his own
Michael and Kyle had both been walking for about ten minutes when they finally came to stop outside Michael's apartment. Michael opened the door and they both went in.
"So want a drink," Michael asked as he sat on the sofa next to Kyle
"No, I'm fine," Kyle said as he went and sat on the sofa.
"So..." Michael said at a lost for words
"This is awkward isn't it? You and me brothers. Hell the other day you and the others couldn't stand to be any where near me," Kyle said
"That isn't true we all tolerated you," Michael said.
"Yeah I know. Why do you think I kept away from you so much. I knew how you really felt about me. So I just kept away," Kyle said
"Well its kinda weird knowing that your one of us," Michael said
"You'll get to use it Michael," Kyle said
"So how old are you valenti," Michael asked curios to know
"I'm 31 in two days time," Kyle said with a grimace.
"You don't look like a 31 year old. I'm immortal Michael, I stop ageing after my first death," Kyle said
"Are you telling me your look like a 17 year old when I'm old and grey," Michael said with a smile.
"That's if we both live that long," Kyle said
"Kyle what you said earlier. Did you really kill someone," Michael asked
"Yes I did Michael. It happened such a long time ago," Kyle said not willingly to go any further.
"Who did you kill," Michael asked curios to know.
"You don't want to know," Kyle said.
"So these guys that are after you. What will they do with you if they captured you," Michael asked
"They'll take me back to their base and dissect me. They will want to know why I didn't die along with the others. They will make mew watch as they kill my friends and family. They will then take me apart piece by piece and watch as I re-form myself. After they have broken my will and sprit they will then turn me back into the assassin I once was. These men will stop at nothing to get me back into the lab," Kyle said as he looked directly at Michael.
"I didn't know. Why would you risk so much to help us, when we treated you like an outsider," Michael asked
"You're my brother Michael. Their your friends, I couldn't stand back and do nothing," Kyle said as he let out a yawn.
"So what are we going to do now," Michael asked.
"Well since you're my younger brother, I think it's my sworn duty to give you a nickname and tease you. So I'll call you mike for now," Kyle said with a sly smile.
"Well if you call me mikey, I'll call you hybrd," Michael said with a mischievous glint in his eye.
"Mikey," Kyle said with a laugh
"Yeah what do ya want hybrid," Michael said with the same smile.
"Is it alright if I crash here for the night? I don't want to go home and wake my dad up," Kyle said
"Yeah you take the sofa and I'll take the bed. Do you have any weird sleeping habits I should be aware of," Michael asked with a grin.
"Yeah I do. I tend to float in my sleep," Kyle said in a serious tone of voice. As he was saying this his eyes closed and he started to float.
"Sleep tight bro, I'll keep a watch over you," Michael said he watched his brother while he slept, before he knew it they were both fast asleep.
Two hours later
Adam had been driving the car for three hours straight and they had just arrived in Roswell ten minutes ago.
"So where are we going," Macleod asked.
Silence answered him.
"Adam," said Macleod as he waved a hand in front of Adams face.
"Could you not do that with your hand Macleod, I am driving a car," Adam said as he the car finally came to stop outside the sheriff's house.
"Where are we," Macleod asked for the second time
Adam just ignored him and got out of his car. He went up to the sheriffs door and knocked. Macleod had followed him out of the car. He wanted to see what he was letting himself in for. After a few minutes a weary looking sheriff answered the door
"Yeah what can I do for you," Valenti asked.
"Adam Pierson," Adam said
"You made good time. Call me Jim and whose the friend," Valenti asked
"His here for company," Adam said.
"Well come in then," the sheriff said as he opened the door to let them both in and locked the door behind them.
"So what does your friend know about all of this," Valenti asked as he sat in the armchair opposite the sofa.
"Nothing," answered Adam as he and Duncan sat on the sofa opposite the sheriff.
"Well you're in for a shock aren't you," the sheriff said looking at Duncan with grin on his face.
"Where is he now," Adam asked.
"With his brother. They have a lot to catch up on," said Valenti.
"Adam what are you two on about," Duncan asked
"Kyle is my son Macleod. That is why I am in Roswell. I am here to see my son," Adam said.
"Immortals can't have children," Duncan said.
"Well don't you think I know that already," snapped Adam.
"Gentlemen, could you please calm down," the sheriff said as calmly as he could.
"How much do you know about the project Jim," Adam asked
"Only what my son has told me. I called you Mr Pierson so you could help my son. He has people after him. The government men want him back and they will stop at nothing to get him. I called you to Roswell so you can get to know your son, before he disappears," the sheriff said.
"He was designed to stand and fight," Adam said
"Kyle would fight them all Mr Pierson, but there are more important things going on in Roswell. You need to know Kyle as your son not the project you helped to design," the sheriff said with a sad smile.
"Where does this Michael live," Adam asked.
"I'm not telling you that. Kyle needs his privacy Adam. Go to the crashdown. Kyle will be in there later on," the sheriff said.
"Does he know I'm here," Adam asked.
"No he doesn't. So if I was you I'd be careful. Kyle doesn't like surprises Mr Pierson," the sheriff said as he got up of the sofa and went to the front door.
Adam and Duncan got up from the sofa and went towards the door that the sheriff was holding open for them.
"Are you going tell him I'm in town Jim," Adam asked.
"No," the sheriff simply answered as he closed the door.
"So what do we do now," Duncan asked already the answer to the question he had just asked.
"We go to the crashdown and wait for my son Macleod," Adam said as he got back into the car. Macleod got back into the car with him.
"What happens when you finally see him," Duncan asked.
"Well just have to wait and see Macleod," Adam said as he started the car up and headed towards the crashdown.
Kyle floated back down onto the sofa and woke with a start. How long have we both been asleep like this? Though Kyle as got into a sitting position on the sofa. Kyle looked at his wristwatch and realised that Michael was due to start his shift in an hour. Kyle leaned over and gave Michael a gentle nudge.
"Hew mikey wake up," Kyle said as hew waited for a response.
"I'm not getting up. Screw work, it can wait for a day," Michael said.
Fine if you want to play it that way Kyle mumbled.
"Hey Mikey, Maria standing here with nothing but a smile," Kyle said with devious smile. This got a response from Michael. He sat upright in the sofa and as soon as he did that he realised that Kyle had lied to him.
"Oh, ha ha very funny, hybrid. What time is it anyway," Michael asked.
"Time for you to got to work," Kyle said.
"Man why didn't you wake me sooner," Michael asked
"Do I look like your alarm clock," snapped Kyle.
"No," Michael said with grin as he got up form his seat on the sofa and headed for the front door. Kyle got up from his eat on the sofa and followed Michael out of the door. They both walked out of the apartment building and headed towards the crashdown.
2 hours later.
Kyle didn't speak a word to Michael on the ride back to his house. He didn't want to talk where he knew the others were still within earshot.
