……………………………………………………………………………

On our way out of the aquarium, our day took a turn for the worse. Two cops on patrol at a street corner saw George and me walking down the street. After pulling out a picture of someone, pointing to it, and saying something to his friend, the two cops drew their guns and ran after us.

"Oh crap, George, I think we have some company." I said as I spotted the two Cop Controllers approaching us.

"Freeze, and put your hands in the air!" said the Cop.

"Run, c'mon!" I yelled as I grabbed George by the wrist and pulled him into an Alley. I pulled down a fire escape and we climbed up onto the roof of a building.

"Oh man. We're gonna die."

"No we're not. Quick, morph bird and let's get outta here!"

"Okay." Said George as we both morphed bird and flew off the roof. With my acute bird hearing I overheard the two cops talking.

"Damn, Visser 21's host body escaped. Some other kid was with him. Let's check the host's memory files for where they might be headed."

((Uh-oh. Looks like trouble ahead. Let's get home fast.)) I told George, except that George wasn't listening.

((WOOHOO! This is awesome!)) Yelled George in my head. I guess he got flying down alright.

((C'mon, enough screwing around, we need to get home quick. I have a bad feeling about all this.))

We flew home. Or at least I did. George demorphed with me in my backyard and followed me into the house. Before I said anything, I turned the safety off one of the dracons in my pocket and set it to kill. I handed George the other one.

"What's this for?"

"We're about to find out."

We opened the door leading to the dining room where a horrible scene filled my eyes. There were two Hork-Bajir holding my fathers head into a portable yeerk pool. My 'father' stood up and looked at me.

"Get him." He said as the two Hork-Bajir advanced on us. This was too much for me.

"I don't fucking think so, Yeerk." I said as I took out both Hork-Bajir. I turned to my father and aimed the dracon point blank on his forehead.

"Say I won't you fucking slug. Say I won't." I said. This wasn't happening. This couldn't be happening. Tears streamed down my face as my hands began to tremble.

George put his hands on my shoulder. "It's okay. We just have to wait three days like you did with me."

"I'm afraid not George," the yeerk began, "the Yeerk Controlled police force will be here in mere minutes. You won't make it out alive I'm afraid."

"Good." I said. I cracked my father across the face and he fell on the floor. "Get out of him now or I'll kill you both." I stammered.

"Michael?" George.

"You won't do it. You don't have the guts. Even if you did, what would that prove?" The Yeerk began.

I felt Georges dracon pressed against my temple. "I won't let you kill your own father, Michael."

"I have to end it now. There isn't time. Yeerk free or die." I never had the chance to pull the trigger.

I heard the door break down and the muffled cries of the Yeerk policemen. "Fine, we're outta here." I said as I blew a hole through the back door and ran out of the house. George followed.

"Now what the hell do we do?" he proclaimed.

"Get to the woods. Now." I blew away the picket fence and ran into the forest behind my house. I pocketed the dracon and picked up the pace. The tears came again.

"I know how it is. My whole family is a bunch of Controllers now. I learned to try and suppress it all."

I stopped and began morphing the Maltese. "At least birds can't cry." I said as I morphed fully and took of. George followed suit.

((We can't just run away now. What about your dad? What about your home?))

((I guess Ax can use the company. At least he has Cable.))
