After finally having made it inside, Marcus and Grace sat on the couch in the lounge room. Moira was cooking dinner, and Stevie was comforting Xander. Tayler had left for Wilgul over an hour ago, Jaz was staying with Ben, and Regan had fallen asleep reading a book in her room.
"So, Marcus... we are going to have to start thinking of some baby names. I thought that Hugh or Bryce for a boy, and..." she noticed he wasn't listening. "And today Tayler was abducted by a host of aliens that looked suspiciously like your sister."
Marcus didn't even blink. He stared straight ahead.
"Marcu-"
"Shh! I'm listening." He concentrated. "That's Ingrid's car..."
Grace blanched. "Are you sure?"
"Yes." Marcus got up and looked out the window. A grey station wagon pulled into the driveway and raced towards the house.
"Grace, go and wake up Regan, and then get into the cellar. I'll warn Stevie." With that, he got up and moved off.
