Chapter 34: The Meeting!
THREE WEEKS LATER!
Alvin and Brittany are quickly getting use to being new parents. As predictable, Alvin did become more focused as soon as his boys were born. The relationship between him and Brittany has improved slightly. Instead of fighting, they have been tending to the babies needs more. The twins, Alvin Jr. and Alexander, just may have been a little more then Alvin and Brittany could chew. Naturally, the rest of the family are more then happy to help care for the twins. To Simon and Jeanette it all seemed like a trip down memory lane when their triplets were infants. Both of them do agree that they do not want to experience having anymore 'accidents'.
One day as, in the early afternoon, Simon comes home from his morning classes, he checks to see if there is mail before going inside. Simon would be the first one home being the kids are at school, Jeanette is still in her classes and Dave is at meeting for an album they are working on. With the money Simon is saving, he hopes to buy his own place and move out of Dave's, just like his brothers were able to. Not that is a bad thing being able to stay with his dad; he just figures that it'll be good for him to have his own place with his family.
Simon places his books and the mail on the kitchen table before getting himself a drink of water. While sipping the water he looked through the mail. As usual there are bills and a few flyers. He stopped when he came across a familiar type of envelope that had his name one it and no return address.
The handwriting spooked him as it haunted his memories. As he broke in a sweat; Simon hesitant to open the envelope, he had to force himself clam down and to open the letter. After glancing at it he suddenly dropped the note on the floor. Looking down at it only had one sentence written down: Time to educate the people; tell them the truth about the day of the Illuminati!
Slowly Simon picked up the letter, and looked at it once more. In his mind he could see the kidnapping, the horrors he witnessed on the Island, the suffering he endured, and the times when he would try to forget on what's happening to his life and turn to alcohol. When he returned home, and the near death experiences he went through, especially the car accident that nearly crushed him and Mary and Vince.
Enclosed with the letter was a cd that read 'Zero Point'. Simon remembered reading about that in some of the original files in the cd's and mini disks that his friends from the Island, Mary-Anne and the others, hid in an envelope and the black box. He even described a bit of it in his book. No doubt this was updated information based on the events that are accruing worldwide and what are the planned events for the future. He pondered if he would be ready to go through any of that again. What would he tell his family? He knew how much it took the last time he had written his book and how the reporters and talk show host and hostess took up the time he wanted to spend with his kids.
The more he thought about it the more he felt on how it will affect his lifestyle that he has grown a custom to for the past five years. In between work, school, and parenting how will he ever find the time to continue in exposing the truth?
-----------------------
A WEEK LATER!
Simon opens the front door to see his old friend Rob standing outside. Beside him was a young human female with brunette hair and green eyes.
"Hi, Rob." Simon said happily then he looked to his companion. "This must be your fiancée, Judy you've told me so much about." He said as he held out his hand to shake hers.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Simon." She said as she accepted his hand.
Rob didn't say too much, but he held up a familiar envelope and writing on it. Simon froze as he noticed that the Guardian too had contacted him about the same subject. "It's time to expose these bastards once and for all." Rob said firmly.
Simon could see the readiness in his eyes and was not sure if he could be as ready about this as he is.
-----------------
The three of them walked into the kitchen and saw Jeanette there; she was the only one that knew of the note. Simon figured that since she has been through a lot with him and seemed to be the only one that has supported him through his torment when he returned home, plus they each made a vow to never keep secrets from each other.
Jeanette tries to smile politely at their guests as she finished making sandwiches and drinks for lunch. She didn't like the idea that Simon was one of the chosen to expose a dangerous threat that is trying to take over the world, but she understood that it was part of Simon's destiny.
Since Dave was at studio, and the kids were at school, it was rare that Simon and Jeanette would have a day to themselves. They also figured that this would also be a good opportunity for Rob and Simon to confront this latest issue that has returned into their lives without Simon's family worrying about it, save for Jeanette, of course.
Judy felt that maybe she would help Jeanette finish making lunch while the boys discuss the problem at hand. Simon and Rob went out side in the back yard as the girls prepared lunch.
"So how did you and Judy meet?" Simon asked, trying to avoid the conversation with the note from the Guardian.
"It was accidental," Rob stopped and thought about it for a bit then shook his head. "No, destiny that brought us together. I was invited to a party and I met her there...did I tell you that she's psychic?"
"No." Simon shook his head.
"Well, she is. She was even aware of the threat of the Illuminati before I even told her of my experiences on Founders' Island."
"Wow. How did she know of them?" Simon asked impressed.
"Like I said, she's psychic. But she is nowhere in Mary-Anne's league, Mary had an extraordinary sixth sense that the Founders discovered a little to late." Rob said proudly. "Even when we were kids, and before the Guardian completely broke our control from the Founders, she would know exactly what would be going on. She would often tell us what was happening, which saved us from dangerous moments that would have killed us. Some of the original kids that were kidnapped did not pay attention to her warnings. They either ended up died, or completely under the Founders control... Which at the end caused their demise." He trailed off, remembering the report of the kids drinking the poison when the FBI invaded the Island.
"There were some kids that, like you and your friends, had a bad reaction to the brain enhancer chemical. You chipmunks were the lucky ones." Rob admits. "Many other children that had a bad reaction to the brain enhancer were...well...they were 'disposed' of shell we say. The Guardian wanted you and the other chipmunks to survive because of your natural animal instincts. And so he convinced the other Founders to run the program where Mary, Jeff, Mark and I would convince you five to start up on smoking, plus train you 'supposable'.
"With the Guardian's help and with Mary's leadership, we were able to slowly gather the information and expose the Founders and their plans to have total control of everyone on this planet. But it turned out we too wanted to also release the pain and suffering we had suffered all those years. I guess that is why we also introduced alcohol and drugs not only for us, but to you kids as well. I feel really bad that we did that." Rob slumped forward in guilt.
"Don't be." Simon said with a frown. "Believe me it was a lessen I had to learn well."
Just then Jeanette and Jody came out with sandwiches and drinks. As they sat and ate they were quiet, until Judy looks up at Simon.
"I've read your book, Simon and it was very informative." Judy said
"Thanks, I'm glad you liked it." Simon said as he blushed before taking a bit of his sandwich. He could never get used to the complaints like that. He swallowed before continuing. "I never thought that I could bring myself to write and re-live the torture I went through on Founder's Island."
"Forgive me for saying this, but don't you think being kidnapped may have been a blessing rather then a curse?" Judy announced.
Both Simon and Jeanette were stunned with Jody's comment and they couldn't help but to glare at her. "How could she say that?" Jeanette said, bluntly.
"Well, think about it; when you were a child you would most likely be the type that had put yourself in a little 'safe box' where you kept your self in books and hoped that no one will bother you." Explained Judy.
Simon thought back and noticed he did just that. No wonder he would always get mad when ever one of his brothers, or Dave, or anything else for that matter would get in the way of his studying. He also would easily be offended when his brothers and friends would accuse him of being dull and boring.
"Since your experience on the Island, you have become more aware of what is really happening in the outside world. You've pretty much been dragged out from you 'safe box' and exposed to new knowledge and experiences." Jody continued.
Again Simon took in mind at what Judy was saying.
"As a child I myself have been aware of things that couldn't be really explained. I'm sure you've heard this expression before 'it not what you say, but how you say it'. Same thing for the schools; it's not what they teach, but how they should teach it. Students are not afraid of learning the truth, and the teachers should not be afraid to teach it. It's all the programming that is in our minds. There is reason to believe that the Illuminati could be posing as the planet's so-called greatest leaders. That is why our government has so ironically dismiss the term 'freedom of speech'."
Jeanette had to agree with that. She has noticed a lot of strangeness with the government, and why so many people have been 'shut up' for speaking their minds. This really takes notice when it mostly entitles the government hiding something from the people.
"There are a lot happening in this world that cannot be explained, but has significant meaning behind it. For example, the Earth is going through a dramatic changing period that will alter everything, as we know now. This is something we should not fear, but to breathe in the rebirth and accept it. Science is not the only solution to explain life, but should still be able to play a big part in it. There are people like me that are aware of the changes happening to humanity and the Earth itself. And I think you know it too. You and Rob, along with all the other children that was on the Island, have a gift that the Illuminati were looking for."
"What's that?" Simon asked eagerly.
"You were all psychic." Judy points out.
Simon began to laugh heartily, "I'm not psychic."
"Oh, I think you are. And I think your daughter is too." The human female smiles knowingly.
"What?" Both Simon and Jeanette cry out in shock.
"Isn't true that your daughter can see and talk to things that 'are not really there'? More like ghost's, if you will?" Judy asked.
"Yeah..." Simon said thinking back to when his daughter told him that an Angle was talking to her.
"I don't think she is the first in your family that has this ability, is she?" Judy added as stared leeringly at Simon.
Simon thought back to the conversation his mom, Alvin and Jeanette had many years ago, when little Mary would just stare at the walls and would talk to her self. Then he looks up at Judy. "According to my mother, I use to see things that were apparently not there, until I eventually grew out of it."
"I don't think that's the case, perhaps a traumatic experience lead you away from your gifts."
Again Simon thought of what his mom also mentioned, and came to a conclusion. "Well, come to think of it, mom mentioned that shortly she left us on the door front of my adopted dad, Dave, I would slowly stop seeing things and focusing on other things like books."
"Perhaps it was the feeling of missing something, like a mother, that lead you away and distracted you. So you would to try and find that missing part of you by reading books. Knowledge is so important, and many people with powerful psychic abilities will want to read as much information as they can get. That was probably what you were doing without realizing, Simon." Judy suggested.
"Alright, what you say does make some sense," Jeanette begins to say. "But if the Illuminati were kidnapping the psychic children, why didn't they kidnap you?"
Judy bashfully shrugs her shoulders before answering, "I was at home sick the day the fake test was handed out."
Simon shook his head and smiled. 'Why couldn't have I been sick that day?' He thought to himself. Making Rob smirk.
All of what they were talking about made Simon remember another incident that had happened on the Island.
-----------------------
TWO MONTHS AFTERARRIVING ON THE ISLAND!
Everything was quiet on the campus grounds on Founder's Island. All the children were asleep in their beds as they were supposed to be.
Suddenly there was a loud scream coming from the male chipmunks quarters.
"AAAAGG!! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!"
Tom and Brian immediately jump out of their beds and rush up to Simon who wassitting up with his hands holding his head.
"Simon wake up!" Tom said as he shakes his friend out of his nightmare.
"NOO!"
"Simon, it a nightmare, wake up!" Brian pleaded.
Simon woke up with a start, even with a blurred vision; he sees that he's still on the Island and in the sleeping quarters with Tom and Brian. "It...it...was horrible." Simon said tearfully. "There were these voices, and they were telling me what to do, and how to think."
"They tend do that." Brian said wryly.
"Who? Who is doing this?" Simon asked.
"The Founders." Tom said.
"How?" Simon asked while rubbing his head. It felt like a migraine that was trying to take over his mind.
"We're not sure. But they tend to do this every time we sleep." Brian filled in.
"How do you get any sleep around here?"
"Sometimes we don't." Tom said while rubbing some sleep from his eye. "I've noticed that we chipmunks are the ones that are not effected by their attempts to brainwash."
"I don't know about you two, but sometimes I can hear them in my mind. They talk about taking over the world and using us as solders to their Cause." Brian said hugging his knees. "I'm really scared...I want to go home." He finished with a tear running down his face.
"I said this before and I'll say it again. You two and the girls are like a real family to me. We need to stick together. I promise to never let anything bad to happen to any of you." Tom said as he gave each of them a warm hug.
"How do we fight these guys?" Simon asked as he finally regained his composure.
"I don't know. But like Tom said, we have to stick together." Brian said.
The three boys just sat there and looked at each other knowingly. Eventually they did get some rest before the gong went off, and they had to go to their first class of the day.
