Chapter 8

Alex lead us out of the room and back into the large crowd. I held onto Seth and Sara kept close with Jack as we followed her.

"So how well do you know this guy?" I heard Jack ask her.

"Oh we've done a few panels and debates together on opposite sides, but no one knows the shadow moral of UFO government conspiracies then Harland." She told him. We made our way to a giant sign that read "book signing". Once there two men stepped up into our way. They acted like body guards, but I doubted either one of them could even stand up against me. (Minus the extra powers)

"Not now, Whitman." She orders. The man opens his mouth to say something, but he just backs off.

"Well hello doctor Freedmen. So you finally decided to accept my offer of a romantic beniana dinner for two. Haza!" another man exclaimed. He looked really dorky as to be expected.

"What?" Alex asked. He got a clue that she didn't know what he was talking about so he cleared his throat and started over.

"Three-three years ago. At a screening of the copper footage you were in the fourth row second seat. In a saucy flower print." He recalled. Ok this guy is officially going on my stalker list.

"I'm sorry I keep my work and social life separate. I don't date colleagues." Alex let him down nice and easy. I looked up at Jack and of course he had a giant smile on his face.

"Colleagues indeed." The guy said with a bow.

"Listen we need to see Harland, right away." She said.

"Dr. Harland is presently unavailable for consultations. We're more than qualified to answer any questions." Another guy came up. A bit bigger than the first, but still as dorky. This must be the ugly, creepy guy convention too. Well except for the guy that just passes. He doesn't count.

"There is no time for that it is a matter of life and death that we see Harland now!" Alex demanded again, but the guys still didn't seem convinced.

"Life or death. Oh, ober scary theatric. What's the 4-1-1 sister?" The creeper teased trying to be cool. Now that hit a nerve. I'm sorry, but no creepy guy in an alien convention can be cool. I stepped forward away from Seth and got in the guy's face.

"Here's the 4-1-1. You're currently alive and unless you take us to Harland you'll be dead." I threatened and motioned towards Jack. He caught on and folded his arms across his chest making sure to flex his muscles. At that point both of the men's faces turned snow white.

"Ok, let's go! Right this way please." They said and led us outside to a trailer basically jogging all the way there. The man knocked on the trailer door like it was a secret club hideaway.

"Go away the book signing isn't until 4:30! Read the brochure!" A voice (an old voice) called from inside the trailer.

"Harland its Alex Freedmen." She called. Within seconds the door flew open to reveal a man. Probably in his 60's or 70's, but who was I to say. He had the biggest smile on his face and thankfully his aurora didn't scream creep.

"Dr. Alex Freedmen. What a surprise." The man said and placed a kiss on her hand.

"We need to speak with you immediately. It is incredibly important." She explained. The guy nodded and we climbed up into the trailer. I climbed in after Alex and once the guy had turned his back I leaned in.

"So does this guy get the whole story?" I whispered.

"Depends on how much he needs to know." She whispers back. Well I'll leave the explaining to her.

5 minutes after letting Seth and Sara explain the space crash in a none suspicious way…

"So you're saying the two of you witnessed this reported UFO crash." He asked Seth and Sara. Both of them nodded to confirm their story.

"I hate lying. I really don't like lying. I can tell when people are lying to me…" He stopped and stared at Seth. Whether he was crazy or not I think all of us held our breath.

"Thankfully your story checks out with all the reports I got from Seta, Allred and NASA." He said with a smile. I let out a sigh and started playing with my hands.

"We have reason to believe a team of government sponsored covert operatives recovered the space craft." Seth said as he literally towered over the guy. Looks like we need to work on personal space.

"Ok, back up a little bit this is not space camp let the experts do their work." He said and gave Seth a slight shove only Seth didn't move. Before anything else happened I reached forward and grabbed onto Seth's arm pulling him back towards me.

"You know you're very lucky you two that you didn't come face to face with the aliens that were in that craft. They're like deadly praying mantises. They eat you flesh." The guy said. So maybe he was a bit off his rocker. I rolled my eyes and kept my hold on Seth. I would definitely be surprised if Mr. Ego and innocent Sara turned into Man eating preying mantises.

"Oh, yes we are indeed very lucky kids to not to have had our flesh eaten by the aliens." Sara said slowly and hesitantly.

"You got that right. Ok, let's go to work here. I got an email from a source." He said and turned to his computer.

"Where would they take the space craft?" Alex asked him.

"Well I would say that from the size and the scope of the crash that's there's only one possibility." He turned back to us just as the two dorks, who followed us in for some reason, jumped forward.

"Witch mountain." All of them said in unison.

"What are we a singing group here? Let me talk and you guys stall." He said and turned back to his computer. The dorks backed up and decided now was the time to leave.

"Witch mountain. Let's take a look here we go, California. About 50 miles from the border of Varna and it's one of our top secret facilities." He pulled up a picture of the mountain on his computer screen.

"Ya know that if you're planning on visiting, don't. When I say this place is fortified up to the ying-yang I'm making an understatement. Now here's the schematic and do you have my book?" He asked looking at Alex.

"Yes I do." I said. Everyone slowly turned toward me with shocked faces.

"What? I was bored so I went to the library and…borrowed an alien book. Is that so hard to believe?" I exclaimed throwing my hands in the air. Jack nodded and I gave his shoulder a hard shove.

"Here's the aerial view." The guy said and continued to give us the information.

"Thank you, Harland." Alex said. We all thanked him and stepped out of the trailer once again heading back into the casino. So we have the device, check! We have the information, check and check. Now we just have to get the ship. That could be a problem.
