Max, Isabel, Liz, Maria, and Tess were on a study break from school. They were all due to hand in a finished project at the end of the study break. The group were currently sitting in the crashdown waiting for Michael and Kyle to show up.
"Hey, Liz, Maria what are you doing in the crashdown. Its your day of isn't it," Sylvia asked as she came over to the booth to take the groups order.
"Were all waiting for kyle and Michael to turn up? When they get here were all going to do our projects together," Liz said
"So what can I get you all," Sylvia asked, as she took out her pen and pad, ready to take down their order
"Can we have seven colas," Liz asked
"Seven colas. I'll be right back with your order," Sylvia said.
"Adam how long do you intend on waiting here for," Macleod asked
"As long as it takes macleod," Adam said as he finished of the last of his coffee.
"Do you have any idea what he looks like," Macleod asked
"No the good sheriff neglected to give me a photo," Adam said
Kyle and Michael entered the crashdown. They both walked straight over to were the others were sitting, pulled up some chairs and sat down with the group. Just as they had sat down Sylvia came over with the order. Sylvia put the seven colas on the table and went back to serve another customer.
"What took you so long," Liz asked
Kyle wasn't really paying attention to what Liz had just said. He had just noticed the two men sitting by the entrance of the crashdown. They seemed familiar.
"Hey Kyle," Michael said as he elbowed his brother in the ribs
"Michael overslept," Kyle said answering Liz's question.
"You told me that I had to work. I only remembered I didn't have to work when I got here," Michael said
"I'm not your alarm clock and I did think you were working," Kyle said
"Key Kyle are you okay," Maria asked. She had noticed that Kyle seemed to be a little distracted.
"I just have a lot on my mind," Kyle said as he placed a hand over his cola glass. After a few seconds he took away his hand from the top of the glass. Kyle then took a sip of his cola and let out a contented sigh.
Michael reached over and took a sip of Kyle cola.
"God that even tastes to hot for me," Michael said as he swallowed the cola with a grimace.
""Stop being such a wimp. Its only a mild taste," Kyle said with a grin.
"If that's your idea of mild, I would like to know what you think a hot cola tastes like," Michael said
"Hey Kyle can I ask you a personal question," Maria said
"Yeah," Kyle said in a casual tone of voice
"Why didn't the government find you before you helped max," Maria asked
"What gives you the impression that they haven't? There have been government men coming to Roswell every now and then, but they were dealt with. When I helped max when of the men recognised me," Kyle said
"How would they recognise you," max asked
"The man who recognised me was a friend of a client I recently had," Kyle said
"What sort of client," Michael asked
"I was trained to be a perfect warrior. I couldn't let those skills go to waste. So I took this job," Kyle said
"What sort of job," Tess asked
"Do you really want to know what I do in my spare time," Kyle asked
"Yes," Tess answered
"The removal of someone from a highly hostile environment," Kyle said.
"Is this what the client was," max asked
"No. He was completely different. He was a person that I had to bring back to America," Kyle said
"How can you accuse max of blowing you cover when you go out and do this little jobs in your spare time," Isabel said
"The person who recognised me was the very person I had bought back. He wouldn't have known I was alive if I helped max," Kyle said.
"Why would he think you were dead," Tess asked
"When I had bought him back to America he killed me. When I helped max he found out I was still alive," Kyle said.
"How would he know that you were in Roswell," max asked
"I'm enrolled in the local high school. Everyone in this town knows me as the sheriff's son and if this man knew where to look there's a file on me in the government secrets vault," Kyle said
"The government have a file on you," Liz asked
"The government have a file on everyone," Kyle said
"Are the government men here now," Michael asked.
"They've been here for the last four days. That's why I got pissed of with you the other day when you demanded to know why I was late for the meeting. I was late for the meeting because I had spent the last hour losing my tail," Kyle said as he noticed his father walk into the crashdown. Kyle was about to get up and say hello to his father, when his father changed direction and went over to the men who were seated in the corner. Kyle was immediately suspicious. He knew that the two men were immortal and one of them looked familiar.
"Hey Kyle what are you going to do about school," Liz asked changing the course of the conversation to a lighter note.
"I've dropped out," Kyle said as he once again gave his full attention to the group.
"How can you drop out in the middle of a school year," Isabel demanded.
"I was only in high school to protect the sheriff," Kyle said
"How can you protect the sheriff by going to high school," Maria asked
"Maria how old do I look to you," Kyle asked
"17," Maria said
"I'm 31 years old in a day. It would have looked suspicious if the sheriff's seventeen-year-old son wasn't attending the local high school. I finished my high school education when I was fourteen, that's why I never really made the effort at Roswell high," Kyle said
"I never knew that you had finished high school that early," Maria said in a shocked tone of voice
"Maria, I'm nearly 31 years old. I have several degrees. I'm just glad I've finally left Roswell high. There really wasn't a reason to stay in high school anymore," Kyle said.
"What about protecting the sheriff," max asked
"When you go back to school the dean will tell the students that Kyle valenti has graduated early," Kyle said.
"Kyle can I have a word with you," the sheriff asked
"Does it have anything to do with the two men seated by the entrance of the crashdown," Kyle asked in a calm tone of voice.
"Yes it does son. There here to see you," the sheriff said as Kyle got up from his seat.
"Who are they," Kyle asked
"Go and see them and find out," the sheriff said
"I'll go and see them, but I don't want anyone else involved," Kyle said as he walked over to the table
The sheriff sat down in the seat that had just vacated by Kyle.
"Will he be alright," Michael? asked concerned for his brother's safety
"He'll be fine," the sheriff answered
----
"I believe you wanted to speak with me," Kyle said as he sat down at one of the table's empty chairs
"Yes Sheriff valenti called me," Adam said. The boy who was sitting in front him couldn't be his immortal son. Adman couldn't feel a buzz coming from him.
"Why would a sheriff from Roswell want to call you," Kyle asked
"He seems to believe you are connected with a project I once worked on," Adam said
"What project would that be," Kyle asked
"Project nemesis," Adam answered.
"What is your name," Kyle asked
"Adam Pierson and your name is," Adam asked.
"Kyle valenti. Why would you come to Roswell just for this project of yours Mr Pierson," Kyle said with a growing sense of dread. As soon as this man had given him his name he knew that he was speaking to someone who had trained him when he was child. He was sitting across from a man he would pay money for to se dead. Mr Pierson was a man who would torture Kyle if he couldn't get the right mark for a test, or he just wasn't good enough for him.
"The project is my son. The sheriff rang me so I could meet the son I never knew existed until five hours ago," Adam said. Adam was now sure that this young boy was his son.
"Mr Pierson why did you feel it necessary to come with Mr quite and brooding," Kyle asked
"His name is Duncan. Are you my son," Adam asked getting straight to the point.
"Why is it so important for you to know if I am your son," Kyle asked
"Immortals can't have children," Adam said
"That's your only reason," Kyle asked in a calm tone of voice
"No. I want to know my son," Adam said with a sad smile.
"I am your son Mr Pierson and if I was you I'd leave town and take your little friend with you," Kyle said in a tone of voice that was dripping with anger.
"Are you threatening us," Duncan asked
"I don't make threats Duncan. I only make promises. Do you honestly believe that your friend's watcher hasn't followed you here? I can't risk this whole thing getting included in your friends journal," Kyle said
"No one followed us here. His watcher is still in Seacouver," Adam said.
"His a watcher. His meant to record every tiny detail about Duncan's life. Do you honestly think he would stay in Seacouver and abandon his duties," Kyle said
"How do you know so much about watchers," Duncan asked
"You work for someone long enough and you find out everything they know," Kyle said
"Who do you work for that knows about immortals," Duncan asked
"That does not concern you Duncan. Mr Pierson it hasn't been a pleasure seeing you again," Kyle said as he got up from his seat
"You're leaving so soon. There's so much I want to know about you son," Adam said in a warm tone of voice.
"You know all you need to know. I don't need you in my life Mr Pierson. Your nothing but a bad memory and your something I want to leave in the past," Kyle spat out vehemently
Adam got up out of his and grabbed hold of Kyle arm.
"You're not leaving so soon kid. We have a lot more to discuss," Adam said.
Kyle ripped his arm out of Adam grasp.
"We have nothing to say to each other. You mean nothing to me Mr Pierson," Kyle said as he turned to walk away from the table.
"Son you can't leave. There's so much I have to explain to you," Adam said in a desperate tone of voice.
"I owe you nothing Mr Pierson. You have the answer you came to Roswell for. Project nemesis is alive," Kyle, said he walked away from the table and walked over to where the others were sitting.
Duncan got up from seat, grabbed hold of Adams arm and dragged him over to where Kyle was standing.
"Kyle Valenti how dare you walk from us like that. Adam has every right to get to know his son," Duncan said as he let go of Adams arm
"Duncan you should learn to keep your nose out of other peoples life's. The fact I am his son is not important. What I am and what I was trained to do are the only things that are important to people like him. Now I suggest you take Adam back home," Kyle said as calmly as he could.
"No we are both staying in Roswell until you get to know Adam as your father," Duncan said
"When will you listen to what I am saying? I want nothing to do with him," Kyle said
"Kyle you could at least try and get to know him. He is your father," Liz said
"He is only my father biologically," Kyle snapped
"He is your father Kyle you should at least make an effort," Maria said.
"Dr Adam Pierson is directly responsible for the death of my mother. He was the person who trained me as a kid. He killed most of my siblings in those training sessions. Do you honestly think I want to be in the same room as someone who is straight out of my childhood nightmares," Kyle said
"I didn't realise," the sheriff said in a whispered tone of voice
"Your damn lucky I haven't done something to him. How could you do this to me dad. I thought you were the one person I could trust, but I was wrong. You're like everyone else I have met. You only do things that suit your own interests," Kyle said
"That isn't true I contacted Adam because you need him," the sheriff said.
"I gave managed for the last 13 years without him. I had all the family I needed right here in Roswell. I will never forgive you for betraying my trust like this," Kyle said as he pushed past Adam and Duncan and walked out of the crashdown
"Sheriff you stay here I going after my son," Adam said as he turned to leave the crashdown.
"No. I would be better if you all stayed here. I'll go and find Kyle," Michael said
"Why would he listen to you kid," Adam asked
"He is a friend and if you went after him he would most probably kill you," Michael answered as he left the crashdown and went to find his brother.
"So what happens now," Liz asked
"We wait until for Michael to find Kyle," the sheriff said
"You expect us all to sit here and wait for Kyle to come back. I can go and find Kyle a lot quicker than this Michael friend of his," Adam demanded.
"Mr Pierson. My son is very upset and it will not help matters if you insist on going to find him all by yourself. As we all saw early on, he didn't take you re-appearance very well. It is better for everyone if we wait for Michael to find him," the sheriff said as he sat down on the chair Michael had just vacated.
The sheriff knew how stubborn Kyle could be when something upset him. Even if Michael found his brother it would be a while before they both came back to the crashdown. The sheriff just hoped that his son would be able to forgive him.
To be continued.
Max, Isabel, Liz, Maria, and Tess were on a study break from school. They were all due to hand in a finished project at the end of the study break. The group were currently sitting in the crashdown waiting for Michael and Kyle to show up.
"Hey, Liz, Maria what are you doing in the crashdown. Its your day of isn't it," Sylvia asked as she came over to the booth to take the groups order.
