JG14: Thanks! :D I hope you like this chapter as well. =]

Firestar'sniece: Your review was amazing - and the longest review I've ever gotten (which is a good thing!). I was excited when I clicked on your profile to find that you had also written Race To Witch Mountain fanfictions, and wrote awesome, interesting ones. I haven't had the chance to read them yet. But I've been wanting to for a while now. :)

It's also nice for me to meet another Christian. ^_^ That's a very good thing! :D Words cannot even explain how happy your review made me and how much it actually made me think! I went and edited some of this chapter because your questions were so amazing and I just had to fill in those little holes I'd missed! :D I answered all of your questions on my profile page, because I didn't want to take up too much room in this chapter (kind of like I'm doing now, huh? xD). And I completely understand that you weren't trying to step on my toes! Your review made me want to write more! If you ever have any criticism or suggestions, just let me know! ^_^ I hope you enjoy this chapter. =]
And I look forward to reading your fanfictions! I know they're amazing. ^_^

Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys this chapter! :]

Chapter One

Two hours later, Jack and Alex pulled into the parking lot of the park. It was very dark, especially considering it was four o'clock in the morning. There was no one around to be seen, and Jack wondered if Seth had already left.

It was almost spooky to be somewhere that quiet when it was so dark.

"This park is huge! Why didn't he tell us exactly where he was?" Alex was thinking out loud.

"I don't know," Jack said as he parked the car and the two of them got out.

He grabbed a flash light out of the back seat. Then, he shut the door and began walking out into the darkness. Alex followed close behind.

He walked past some treas and scanned the area ahead. "Wait! Jack!" Alex whispered. Her husband turned to see what she wanted. "I see a blinking light."

They looked into the forest and realized that she had been right. There was a blinking light.

Jack started bravely in the direction of it. Once he was about ten feet away from the light, he shone the flash light on it. It turned out to be a UFO. Seth and Sara's UFO, to be exact.

Alex came running up behind Jack. "But where's Seth?"

"I don't know." He slowly walked toward the spacecraft and looked for any sign of Seth. "Seth?" he called, looking around. "Are you here?"

"Jack," said a voice.

The man's head snapped to the right. He spotted Seth sitting on the ground, his back against the trunk of a tree. He had a long scratch on his forehead.

"Seth!"

"Ssh! It is important that we do not speak loudly."

"What? Why?"

"They are still after me."

"Who?"

"The people who took Sara. They are still after me."

"Man. We've gotta get you out of here," Jack said, grabbing Seth by an arm and hauling him to his feet.

"No. I cannot go."

"Why?"

"If I stay here, there is a chance that they will come back with my sister to capture me."

"Yeah. And along with that comes a chance that you can get captured and both you and Sara will be taken and neither one of you can be saved."

Seth glared up at Jack, his blue eyes showing nothing but anger. "I have to get my sister back. If you do not wish to help, then you can go home."

Alex went over to Seth and looked at him with a concerned expression on her face. "Seth, the only way to save Sara is for you to stay safe and stay alive."

Seth stubbornly looked away. "Where is Junkyard?"

At the sound of his name, Junkyard came running over to them. He stopped by Seth and sniffed the boy. After recognizing his scent, the dog wagged its tail.

Jack motioned to Junkyard. "Why did you want him to come with us, anyway?"

Seth looked up at the older man from where he was rubbing the cheerful dog. "He is essential in our search for Sara."

"And just how do you expect him to find her?"

"Sara is his favorite," was Seth's simple answer.

"What does that have to do with-"

"He'll pick up her scent," Alex interrupted.

Seth gave her a curt nod.

Jack sighed and turned to the alien teenager. "It's too dangerous to wait until those... whatever they were... come back."

"There is a chance we can save my sister."

"There's a chance she won't even be with them when they come back."

"But what if she is?"

Jack looked away, trying to think of a way to convince the boy to come with them.

"We must take that risk," Seth added.

Alex seemed to be lost in thought for a moment. "Who captured Sara? And why are you two back on Earth?"

"We were sent to retrieve a small child who was kidnapped from our planet. On the way to your planet, Sara and I were pursued by another assassin. We landed here and the assassin managed to break into the ship, tranquilizing Sara and taking her with him."

"Where were you when this happened?"

"Hiding. Her captor assumed that I had ran away." He stared at the trees nearby, wishing he had never hidden in the first place. If he hadn't, he would be the one with the assassin now, not her. Of course, he had tried to fight the assassin, but the assassin overpowered him. For some reason, it had wanted to kidnap Sara and Sara only.

"Where did the assassin take her?"

"I am not sure. But they did not travel back to our planet or outer space."

Alex looked around. "Well, which direction did they go in?"

Seth nodded toward the street. "They were flying in what humans call an unidentified flying object."

Jack reached into his pocket for the car keys. "All right. Let's go."

"No," Seth insisted. "We must wait for them to return."

It was then when Jack realized just how much he missed the siblings being together. Usually, Sara's easy-going personality balanced out with Seth's stubborn nature and vice versa.

Seth didn't trust humans and, without Sara, would do what he thought was best no matter what the situation.

"Seth." Alex spoke softly, sounding almost motherly. "You've already been hurt and Sara could get hurt as well if she tries to stop them from capturing you."

As much as the alien didn't want to admit it, Alex was right. And he wouldn't - no, couldn't - take the risk of his sister getting hurt. He stayed quiet for a short minute, but then stood up straight as though it had been his own idea. "We will travel in the direction that the ship went. If we do not spot them soon, we will return here."

"Fair enough," Jack said. "Let's go."

Once the four of them were in the car, Jack drove in the direction that Seth had pointed him to.

"The assassin, what did he look like?" Alex asked.

"He is smaller than the last assassin, but possesses much more power."

"And who sent him?" asked Jack, his eyes scanning the road in front of him.

"We do not know."

"Well, what does the ship look like?" Alex was staring out the window, searching the heavens for any sign of the spacecraft.

Silence was the only thing heard throughout the car. It would have been almost peaceful if it weren't for the fact that Sara could be in great danger.

"Seth, did you hear what-" Jack stopped when he glanced at the rear view mirror only to find that the teen was no longer there.

Alex noticed as well and looked over her shoulder. "Jack! Behind us!"

The car came to a screeching halt when Jack noticed the flying UFO going over some buildings and Seth running after it.

Alex opened her door just as Jack put the car in reverse. "What are you doing?" he asked.

"We'll get there a lot faster on foot. A car won't fit through those alleys," she explained.

Jack nodded and took the keys out of the car.

After letting Junkyard out of the back seat, the two of them ran in the direction Seth had gone.

They soon found him, phasing through objects as he watched the spacecraft fly through the night sky. He was beyond determined to get to his sister - he was headstrong.

"Seth! Wait!" Alex called as she and her husband raced after him.

He didn't hear them, he was too busy trying to think of a plan to catch up to his sister's captors.

There wasn't much he could do, though. Not with them being in the air and him being on the ground. If he had taken the ship to search for them, maybe he could have reached them in time. He phased through a brick wall and kept running after the UFO.

"Sara!" he yelled, on the off chance that she might hear him from inside the ship.

"Seth!" Neither Alex or Jack could get over the wall.

He didn't run any further when he realized that the ship had sped up and was flying away. He stopped in his tracks, turning back toward the wall. "At their rate of speed, we will not pursue them at any time in the near future." He phased through it, walking over to them. "Do you have a faster source of transportation?"

"No," Jack said. "Not unless you want to get on a plane."

"Why don't we take your ship?" Alex suggested.

"In order to save my sister, we must break into their ship, attacking them silently."

"How can we break into their ship if we're no where even close to it?" asked Alex.

Seth started down the alley, toward the car. "We must hurry."

Jack and Alex exchanged a look, but followed the teenager, anyway. "This isn't safe," Jack whispered. "Seth could get hurt. What if he doesn't listen to us if we say it's too dangerous?"

"We'll just have to trust that-" She stopped when she heard a beeping noise. It was coming from her pocket. She pulled her phone out to see what it was.

Seth turned around, his eyebrows furrowed. "What is that sound?" he asked.

"It's..." Alex trailed off, her eyes widening. "Jack!"

Thanks for reading! Review if you liked it, please! ^_^
