Chapter 36: Re-visiting Old Friends!
LATER THAT EVENING, BEFORE DUSK!
After cleaning out his old things in the attic, Simon had the urge to visit his friend's tome stones. It almost feels that things are starting to come at full circle, but he isn't sure what is going to happen. All he knows that he made a promise, a promise to expose these monsters for who and what they are doing to society. He is just lucky that Rob is still alive to be helping him with this.
Simon walks up towards two tomes on top of a hill holding two small bouquets of flowers. It has been a while since he'd come by here. He closed his eyes smiled slightly as he would often remember their faces. Their voices still sound so clear in his mind. There hasn't been a day that went by when he wished that they could be there with him, especially now. They would have made an awesome team against the Founders and the Illuminati. But it is now up to Rob and him. Even though there is now Jody and Jeanette that volunteered to assist in exposing the truth, he wished that there could have been more kids that had survived. He let out a loud sigh before looking up again at the tome stones.
"Hi guys. I know it has been a while since I came by here, but as you know, I've been really busy. I want to thank you, Tom, for being there for my son when he got lost in the woods last summer." Simon paused as he shook his head and smirked.
"As usual, you are looking out for me. And I appreciate you being there for my kids too. I'm sure you now that the Illuminati are about to strike soon. Rob and myself have been given word to expose the threat of these monsters to the world. Guess what I'm trying to say is that I could really use your help right about now, all of you. Together we were the greatest team on the Island."
Simon closed his eyes and could feel his friends' presents. It was not a scary feeling, more of a comfort knowing that they were there. When he slowly re-opened his eyes, for an instant, he swore that he just saw Mary-Anne's spirit. Behind her were his friends, Jeff, Mark, Tom, Brian, Renee, and Brenda standing before him just behind the tomes. He blinked for a second then they were gone. Again, Simon let out another sigh.
"I really must be going. There is a lot of work I have to do tomorrow. As usual, knowing that you are there with me gives me strength to carry on." He bends down and places the two bouquets in the two brass jars before turning to walk away.
Simon looks down as he steps away and notices a pin that he swears that wasn't there when he arrived. It was no ordinary pin; he recognized it as to be the one Mary-Anne secretly wore under her jacket. She would wear it to remind her who she was and not get caught in the Founders mind control. As far as Simon knew, he was the only one she told of this secret she wore. The pin was a little golden angel that appeared to be in a praying possession. He figured that this was a message from his old friend from the Island. Simon bent down and pick up the angel pin and looked at it more closely. Suddenly he turned as if he sensed that some one else was in the area, hiding in the near by bush, watching him. He eyed the area carefully, but no one was there. Simon put the little pin in his pocket and walked back to his car.
------------
As the young chipmunk drove off, a man in a dark suit and a beautiful blond woman in a silver body suit. The woman is recognized as Dr. Schuyler, the man is non other then the Guardian. The both stood as they watched Simon drive out of sight. Once Simon disappeared from around the corner, the two aliens walked down the hill towards an empty field.
"So far, so good." Schuyler said.
"Yes. Everything is working as planned." The Guardian added.
"Our two young survivors should do an excellent job. Not to mention, this one's children may even be great allies to the Cause as they grow older. By the time 'Zero Point' comes about, the people of Earth will be ready."
"I just hope the Illuminati doesn't have anything up their sleeves before hand. If we are able to get a hold of their secret disk, all of this could be exposed a lot sooner." The Guardian said worryingly.
"Life is always full of challenge and opportunity, my friend. If the people are educated then they will be able to make the right kind of choices."
Once they've arrived to a secluded spot in the graveyard, the two allies turn to each other.
"Thanks for all your help." Schuyler said in a warming tone.
"No problem, it's my pleasure. Not all of my people agree with the Illuminati's way." The Guardian glared. He then softens his expression and looked up at Schuyler. "Anyway say hi to your husband, and thank him for helping me escape discovery from the Illuminati members." The Guardian said.
"Which one? I do have three, you know." Schuyler asked with a teasingly smirk.
The Guardian stood there and shook his head and let out a small chuckle. "You Pleiadians have an unusual lifestyle."
"It's not weird we're just more open on the subject of Unconditional Love. The people of Erra have gotten past jealousy and are more at ease with the idea of having more then one lover. Besides it not like we need to disguising ourselves to look like humans." Schuyler said as she raised an eyebrow to the Guardian.
"To shay." The Guardian smirked.
"You need a lift anywhere?" Schuyler asked pointing skyward.
"No thanks. You know me, I'm a survivor." The Guardian said waving off her offer.
"Alright then, till we meet again." She took a few steps away from the Guardian.
"Yes. Good luck." The Guardian replied.
Schuyler smiled "Thanks, you too." She said before slowly disappearing as if she was being beamed somewhere like in a Star Trek episode.
The trees that surrounded the area suddenly moved as if a large hovercraft started to move. A couple hundred miles in the sky a silver saucer shape ship de-cloaked and disappeared into the atmosphere in incredible speed. There were no witnesses, save for the Guardian. He smiled then walked away from the scene and disappeared behind some trees.
THE END!
