I'm sorry for any grammar mistakes or misspellings.
Thank you all for leaving comments.
bajy: thank you. I usually post every Tuesday but I might post another chapter later in the week.
Mariah: most likely. I do have a plan for the story but you know how sometimes a better idea shows up and you decide to take that route.
It's was finally my day off for the week and boy was I glad. Having to work the entire week and Saturday was quite unusual, except Tuesday. Sometimes I get a whole month or two off and don't work a 9 hour day, which I did all but one day this week.
With this week I was able to get all the money I payed for the RC ca-well an alien named Wheelie plus some more. Which I distribute to the others as an allowance because within our group, you share.
Like our traditional weekend, we are at the park and left the alien back at the orphanage. We played hopscotch with the chalk I bought at our local supermarket and other childish games.
Piper spotted a few elderly people playing chest in the park, you know the cliché thing to do. Anyway we discuss wether or not to ask if we could play with them, even though we didn't the first thing about it. Charlie and Kevin weren't interested so they went off somewhere to do whatever.
Piper and Ruby take the lead as I stayed in the back, I'm not good with new people and typically hide behind them. The two greeted an older woman and introduced, including me, themselves. Ruby stated our purpose here and if we could join, with Rosie's, the woman's name, help on how to play.
Being the silent observer I am, within moments I knew how to easily checkmate a person. Ruby was starting to catch on and Piper was having the hardest time ever.
It took about 30 to 45 minutes for the two to be finally caught up with everything. Giving enough time for the others to come back from being bored.
Rosie was placed with me and I already knew I was going to lose. From what I have observed from her, she is great at playing chess.
Charlie and Kevin watched everyone's game, rooting on whoever is winning at the moment.
During our match, many times I almost bested Rosie but in the end, she won. After thanking her and her friends, we went on our way to play tag. Piper tag/pushed Ruby and yelling "You're it," before we all spilt away from Ruby as if she had a plague.
Ruby was more built for strength not speed and normally goes after me as I'm smaller with my short legs. Rushing over to Piper as she is the second shortest, almost getting caught by Ruby. Bypassing Piper, Ruby tags her before steering away from us as now Piper goes after me.
Though I'm small with my strength and speed, I do have stamina.
As Piper caught up, I faked a left to go right and ran towards Kevin so he could caught. That plan didn't carry out as Piper grew tired and slowed down to a stop. Stopping also, I turned around with a slight pant and taunted her by placing my thumb on my nose with my tongue sticking out. She pouted with a small glare, she walked towards me before going into fast dash.
Acting on pure instinct, I dove and did a weird crawl on my hands and feet before full on running away.
Gladly instead of going after me, she chased after Kevin. With some miracle, she caught up and tagged Kev.
We played Tag for awhile longer until everyone grew tired and Piper suggest that we could play hide n' seek.
All choosing for Charlie to be it, she gave us 60 seconds to hide. In a park this size was not far at all.
Not paying any attention to were the others went, I head off towards a building to find a big, black truck parked there.
"Ready or not, here I come!" Charlie's voice rang out, scaring me to go and hide under the truck. Not the smartest place but the grass is high and truck is big enough, hopefully, to hide me. Also the weird thing is, why is a truck parked in the park?
A few moments later, a man in his mid-thirties, comes over and squats down to look at me.
"Who are you and what are you doing?" He questioned, his voice familiar. Taking a full on look at the man, I realize this is Lennox , one of the army men. Giving him a skeptical look, I answer his questions.
"Gabriel, Hide n' seek," was all I said. He nodded his head slowly and getting back up. From this moment on, I learn this man is a mega douche.
"Gabriel is hiding right here!" He shouted out. Letting a bitch face out for him, I quickly shuffle out from the underneath the truck and run off in a random direction. Looking for anything I could hide in or behind, a tree with small and low enough limbs was the first thing that came up in my list.
The tree was my first option and I climbed as high as I dared to. Within the tree, I could see a lot of the park also Charlie, Piper, and Kevin rushing over to the black truck that I know notice was the one from the restaurant.
Lennox was no longer there and seemed to have disappeared.
Paying attention to my surroundings, a black and yellow Camaro was below my. Somehow, someway I didn't notice it there, probably because I was rushing to get away. It looked to be a '07 model and the paint was glossy most likely from it being waxed. The windows on it were tinted so much that I couldn't see the inside, isn't that illegal?
Out of nowhere, two men left the vehicle and approached the truck. One of the men I could recognized as Epps. The other one looked to be in his early twenties with brown hair and a yellow stripe in his bangs.
The front doors of the truck open and Lennox with a male in his forties. He had a deep black color for hair and a little bit stubble on his cheeks and chin.
All four of them group up and started to talk about something. I couldn't hear since I was too far away.
Later on, all four of my friends walked up to Lennox and started to talk to him. Once again, I couldn't hear what they were saying but when he pointed off where I went, I knew he told them where I was hiding.
The four rushed over to the tree and quickly spotted me. Charlie and Ruby tried to climb the tree but all the limbs broke off from their weight. Kevin and Piper didn't even help as they don't like heights.
"Gabriel get down here now!" Charlie shouted. Sticking my tongue out like the mature ten year old I am, I shifted a little bit, knocking a branch down.
"Gabriel Grace! Watch it!" Oh crap, the middle name.
They continue to yell at me and tried to climb the tree with failure.
Few minutes later, Lennox and his partners came over.
"Having a little trouble?" Lennox teased. Charlie nodded and Lennox whispered something to the black haired man. He went over to his truck and drove it over here with the tail gate down.
"So whose it?" Epps questioned. Charlie raised her hand then Epps lead her over to the back end and help her up. Without realizing it, she was now tall enough to reach me.
Charlie reached out causing me to scramble away but I wasn't quick enough and her hand grazed my shoe. That's game.
Sighing, I climb down the tree. Charlie gets off and thanks the group for helping us.
"So what's your guys name?" Piper inquired. The guys looked at each other and Lennox, Epps, and the younger male shrug their shoulders.
"I'm Will," Lennox introduces his first name as Will.
"Robert but you can call be Epps."
"I'm Bumblebee," the younger male introduced. It was funny because the car he got out of.
Th last male didn't introduced himself so Will did it for him.
"That's Ironhide." Bumblebee and Ironhide, those sounded like codenames or something like that.
Will hands us a card saying if we see anything unusual or weird to give him a call. Charlie tenses before going back to normal. She knows not to talk when she knows something because she is terrible at lying. Ironhide gazed over to her and eyes her. Quickly grabbing her hand, I rushed her away from them. Gladly they didn't follow.
Everyone made it to they orphanage in one piece and panting as we ran all the way back.
The door was still locked meaning Wheelie was in here. Opening the door, we were met with Wheelie going through Pipers clothes, which he got a bat to the head for.
After that, the door was relocked and we told him of our finds today. He said that Ironhide and Bumblebee were allies and that we should call him. Problem one: we don't have a phone and problem two: if we tell them that we have an alien with us, we would be locked up, never to see the light again. Wheelie was disappointed but agreed with us as we we are his saviors.
Everyone went to bed except me and Kevin as we talked about the situation. We decided to keep taps on the men we met today.
After our talking, we grew tired and finally went to bed.
Hope you liked the chapter! Please comment if you did!
Let the wolf howl!
