Chapter Nine
"We have no choice but to go back," answered Zero.
That's when I realized, that we were almost back at the house.
We walked down the same dirt road and saw people walking in and out of the house.
"No!" yelled Slimy.
Two aliens hauling furniture out of the house saw us.
"That's the kids! Boss said that they were alive somewhere," said one guy.
"Slimy you moron!" yelled Zero.
"Oops," said Slimy.
"Run!" I yelled.
We all took off running. I don't know where I was going, but somehow I found my way to the back end of the funny-looking building. Boss' building.
"What the heck?" I questioned when I got there.
"Jaycee you're a genius!" announced Zero.
He reached into a bag and pulled out a rope.
"Slimy, climb the building," ordered Zero.
Slimy climbed up one board at a time until he reached to roof of the building.
The building wasn't very tall. Maybe about twelve feet off the ground.
Zero threw the rope up to Slimy and he caught it.
"What about the bags?" I asked.
"Oh yeah," said Zero.
He picked up some bags and started climbing.
"Now Slimy jump down. Jaycee, catch Slimy," ordered Zero.
Slimy jumped off the building and luckily, I caught him.
We then threw every bag up to Zero.
"Now you two need to break in the building. I'll hide up here. Go stop Boss. If you're not back in ten minutes, I'm breaking in with an ax and a loaded gun," he said.
"Now where the Hell-" started Slimy.
"I brought weapons fool. Only when we need them. Now go on and hurry," he said.
Slimy and I did as told.
Together we ran into the building.
There were hallways in every direction.
Alien employees saw us running.
Most of them yelled "Human! Intruders!" when we ran by.
We just kept running until we reached the center of the building where we saw a door.
"No guards?" questioned Slimy attempting to open the door.
It was locked.
I reached into my pocket and pulled out my wallet.
"What are you doing?" asked Slimy.
I pulled out my driver's license and slid it down the door crack.
The door opened.
"Credit card trick," I said.
Slimy smiled joyfully.
We walked through the door and down the short hallway.
We then saw an alien sitting in a dusty, boarded up room surrounded by computers, telephones, microphones, and walkie-talkies.
We walked up to the alien.
He had six arms and he had his back faced away from us.
"Boss," said Slimy.
He spun around, holding a phone in his hand.
When he saw us, his eyes got wide.
"Uh…I'll call you back," he said into the phone and hung up.
"Who are you?" he asked us.
"I'm Jaycee and this is Slimy. We're here to talk to you about taking over earth," I said.
He smiled creepily.
"Ah yes, you're here to protest are you? Well I don't like protesters. I kill protesters," he said.
"We are aware of that. You do things like kill your employees if they speak against you. What ever happened to freedom of speech?," I asked.
"We don't do that on this planet," said Boss.
"Liar! The last Boss let everyone say their opinion! You are so full of crap!," yelled Slimy.
"So, your name is Slimy, eh?" asked Boss.
"Yeah! Got a problem?" asked Slimy.
Boss laughed.
"That name is illegal here little boy," he said.
I saw rage fill Slimy's face.
"Oh it's on now butt-face," said Slimy.
Slimy was now at the I'm-not-a-little-kid-I'm-a-grow-up age now.
Slimy pulled a knife out of his back pocket and jumped up into the air.
"Die," he said.
Boss gasped as Slimy landed on the ground.
Boss kicked Slimy in the face and Slimy flew across the room, landing hard against the wall.
One of Boss' six arms was lying on the ground.
"Slimy, don't tell me limbs can grow back," I said.
"N-No," said Slimy.
I walked over to him and helped him get back up.
"You think one arm is a big deal to me?" laughed Boss.
I never said it was a big deal.
Just then I heard the door get kicked down.
"Here I am!" announced a voice.
It was Zero, holding a gun, an axe and he had some kind of strange outfit on, probably some "armor" or something.
