Chapter Two already! ^_^ Hopefully y'all will like it. :)

BriDally: Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy this chapter, then! :D

tomboy2012: Wow! Thanks a lot for the review! :) I try to read over it and correct any mistakes I see. And I've read one of your stories and I think you are a really good writer! :D Also, I'll try to update as much as possible. =]

Firestar'sniece: Thank you for the review! And lol. Yeah. I did mean to write "trees." :P I didn't notice when I read over it. It was a hilarious typo, though. xD Also, I'm not really one for long chapters. That was actually kind of long for me. :P I think this one might be a bit longer, though. I'm not really sure. I think that there will be a longer chapter at least somewhere in this story, though. Why they took only Sara and things like that will be revealed in later chapters. :) Seth trusts Jack and Alex to an extent, otherwise he wouldn't have called in the first place. I'm fairly sure that the reason behind him not trusting them a bunch will also be later revealed. Well, the park they left the UFO in was a big park that was seldom visited. A patch of trees surrounded the UFO and kept it out of sight, although there is still a chance it could be seen. Henry is not working with the assassin and doesn't know anything about Seth and Sara returning to Earth. And yes! We'll see what's going on where Sara is in the next chapter. :D Also, you're very welcome. I'm up to chapter five on your Starchild fanfiction. It's really good so far! ^_^

Daddyscowgirl94: Um... what little girl? And as for why the assassin only wanted Sara, that will come about later in the story. :) Thanks for the review!

Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys this chapter! It was fun to write! ^_^


Chapter Two

Seth and Jack stood stiff with worry.

"What is it?" Jack asked.

"We have an interview!"

"About our book?"

"Yes!"

He sighed. "Call Daphne and tell her we can't make it."

"Book?" Seth questioned, curious.

"Uh, yes," Alex replied. "We wrote a book about our experience meeting you and Sara."

"Why?"

Jack recognized that cautious tone. "To tell people that aliens do exist and clear up any questions they might have had."

Seth nodded slowly as he watched Alex dialing a number on her phone.

Daphne, Jack and Alex's agent, answered after a couple of rings. "Hello?"

"Daphne. This is Alex Bruno."

Seth's eyes widened a little and he glanced at Jack to make sure. He had no idea that the two had gotten married and it hadn't occurred to him when he had called earlier.

Jack grinned and nodded, proud to be the husband of the amazing and intelligent Doctor Alex Friedman.

"Alex?" Daphne asked. Despite the fact it was four in the morning, she sounded awake and alert. "Seeing as you called this early, you must be looking forward to the interview with Fiona Frances."

"Actually, it's right the opposite." She laughed, somewhat nervously. "Jack and I... we can't make it. We've ran into an..." She glanced at Seth. "Emergency."

"Alex, you can't cancel now. The show starts in two hours and there's no way that Fiona can find another person to fill in for you two in that time."

"Well, maybe she can if you call her now. What we're dealing with right now is a lot more important."

Seth was beyond surprised. Sure, after all they'd helped him and Sara through a year ago, they'd earned his trust. Most of it, at least. But to see that they would pass up a great opportunity like that was unthinkable.

"You're not making a good decision," Daphne warned.

Alex put a hand on her hip. "Oh, really? And what part didn't you understand about 'emergen-"

Jack could tell she was getting angry and snatched the phone out of her hand. "All right, Daphne," he said. "What kind of trouble are we looking at if we don't show up?"

She sighed. "The Fiona Frances Show is one of the most well-known shows in the country. Cancelling will give you bad reviews. You know how Fiona is."

"We can deal with that later. Like Alex said, this is kind of urgent."

"You know all your fans? They'll be gone if you cancel this."

"We realize that. We just have-"

"And the aliens!"

"What?"

"The aliens. If you cancel, their whole race will be destroyed because Fiona will convince everyone that you and Alex were abducted by them, causing everyone to turn against them."

"Listen, Daphne, I think you're exaggerating just a-"

"Jack, do not put our planet in jeopardy by avoiding your interview," Seth interrupted.

"I'm not-"

"Jack, he's right," Alex said.

Jack looked at them incredulously as he held a hand over the phone. "Did you hear her? The woman's crazy. She doesn't know what she's talking about. Skipping the interview won't hurt anyone," he whispered.

"If she is correct, Sara and I will not be safe here. We must go to the interview."

"What about Sara? She needs our help."

"Sara will be fine as long as our planet is not destroyed. It is helping her by saving our home."

Jack sighed. "Fine." He moved his hand away from the phone. "Daphne?"

"Yes?"

"Don't call Fiona. We'll be there."

"Excellent." She hung up.

Two hours and ten minutes later, they all arrived at the interview. They headed inside, even bringing Junkyard with them.

Someone immediately stopped them. "Hey! No dogs allowed! And who's this?" He motioned to Seth.

The teen looked up at Jack, hoping the man wouldn't tell the complete truth.

"Okay. Take the dog outside. And him? He's my... uh, he's my nephew. He wanted to see the show."

The guy was a bit skeptical, seeing how Jack and Seth looked nothing alike, but nodded, passing Junkyard's leash to another worker before ushering Seth into the front row of the audience.

Seth glanced around the large, crowded room. There sure was a bunch of people there.

Alex and Jack spoke to Daphne, had their hair and make up done lightly, and were quickly pushed out onto the stage to greet Fiona.

"The show starts in less than a minute," the woman said.

"Yeah. Sorry we're late," Jack said as he and Alex sat next to each other on a small sofa.

"Five, four, three, two..."

Fiona put on her best television smile. "Hi. I'm Fiona Frances and today, I'm here with Jack and Alex Bruno, authors of the bestselling book Race To Witch Mountain." She turned to the couple. "How are you two today?"

"We're doing great, thanks," Alex lied. They were wasting time when they could be rescuing Sara. But Seth was convinced that if they didn't attend the interview, they could be in more danger. And for all Alex knew, he was right.

"So, how are you two holding up under the fame?" Fiona asked.

"It was different at first," Alex began.

"But we've gotten used to it," Jack finished.

Fiona nodded. "And what about your alien friends?" she questioned. "Have you seen or heard from them recently?"

Jack and Alex exchanged a look. "No, not recently," Jack answered slowly. Not recently as in the last ten seconds, he thought.

"Well, tell us more about them."

Alex looked at Seth whose eyes were wide. This was going to be a long interview.

Forty-five minutes later, the questions were getting tougher and more specific.

What normally would have been easy questions for the couple were becoming harder ones whenever they thought about how Seth was in the room and Sara was alone with no one to save her.

Seth felt as though he was burning up in the heat of the building and he was beyond worried for his sister.

Plus, the interview wasn't going any faster and he had no idea how much longer it would take until it was over.

He was hardly listening to anyone talking and was beyond anxious to get to his sister.

Finally, he stood up, glancing at Jack and Alex before heading toward the exit.

Jack and Alex shared a look before they both stood up, stopping Fiona in mid-sentence. "Sorry, Fiona, but we have to go," Alex said as they got off stage.

The audience, as well as Fiona, was surprised by this.

Seth was already outside when the Brunos reached him.

"Seth, what's wrong?" Jack asked.

"We must hurry. The interview has delayed our mission."

"I thought you wanted to stay for the safety of your planet."

"I did, but my planet will survive. After all, you did stay for half of the show." He kept walking.

"Wait." Alex laid a hand on his shoulder and he stopped, turning to her.

"There's no way we can save Sara unless we have some sort of clue as to where she is."

Seth sighed. "She is in the assassin's ship. I believe that we would reach her faster in the air than we would on the ground."

"I actually think we could catch them better on land," Jack said. "If they land, we'll have a better view of their ship."

"And what makes you think that they will-"

"Just trust me."

Seth thought for a moment about how Jack and Alex had helped them last time they were on Earth. He finally nodded. He had to trust Jack. "Okay. We will travel in your vehicle of motor transportation in the direction of northeast where the ship was last seen."

"Are you sure that-" Alex stopped when Seth suddenly doubled over, clutching his head in his hands.

"Seth, what's wrong?" Jack asked calmly, kneeling down next to the teenager.

Seth couldn't answer. His eyes were squeezed shut.

"Seth!" Alex ran over to him as well. "What happened?"

Silence.
