Chapter 10
It was a school day when it happened. It was completely unexpected. I was sitting in R.E when my phone went off. Dad and Tad told the heads and the staff that I would need to keep my phone on, since there could be 'family emergencies', of course I knew that as 'aliens have arrived we need Morgan', or they called for the hell of it. But it was always the latter, but they very rarely that they called when I was at school. I answered my phone and went to stand outside. It was dad calling me.
"Hey dad, what's wrong?" I asked.
"Well, I thought you could try out that gun of yours...properly." dad replied.
"What do you mean?"
"It's alien time kiddo; it's time to put your skills to the test."
"But, I don't know how!"
I didn't know why I said that, I should have been excited. I guess since they all had some sort of training it was easier for them.
"Morgan, you'll be fine. You don't need to know what to do, just do what feels natural."
"Ok, fine. So should I meet you at the hub or what?"
"We'll come pick you up; we have to go past the school anyway."
"Great, see you in a bit."
We hung up. My heart rate rose, which was probably normal. I quickly walked back into class, grabbed my bag and ran to the front entrance. No teacher asked me why I was out of class, or why I ran out of class, which was good since it meant I wasn't being slowed down.
A soon as I ran out of the school doors I saw the SUV. I jumped in the back.
"Hey, got the gun?" dad asked.
"Hey and yeah, it's in my pocket." I replied.
"You have a gun!" Owen, Tosh and Gwen yelled.
I looked to them.
"Yeah." I replied simply.
"What the hell!" Gwen yelled.
"We'll discuss later, right now we need to get the alien." Tad told them.
No one said anything more about the me having a gun thing.
"So what kind of alien needs catching?" I asked.
"It's called a Tyzler." Tosh replied.
I burst out laughing. The name was funny. I calmed down after a while. Tyzler was one of the aliens that I read about in the books from the archives; they were pretty dangerous and could kill anything in one swipe of a claw. Great, the first alien I got to go after and I could die.
It wasn't long before we were at the site where the rift alarm had pin pointed. I jumped out of the SUV. Before I could stand up straight, I saw something running towards me. I ducked lower and rolled out of the way. Standing up, I grabbed my gun out of my pocket. BANG! BANG! Both shots from my gun hit the Tyzler in the shoulders. It screamed out in pain. I took dad's advice and did what felt natural. I let go completely and ran at it. Tackling it to the ground, I shot it right through the forehead. Blood squirted over my face. I bounced up and stumbled backwards, far away from the lifeless body of the alien. I hadn't killed anything, other than insects and that, in my life, never. Even though it was such a rush, it was a little frightening.
We took the Tyzler back home – to the hub. Owen took it down to the autopsy bay, so he could find out more about it. I stayed in the main part of the hub with Tad.
"Don't worry. Everyone reacts like that at first." Tad told me.
I gave him a thankful smile. Like I said, Tad always knew the right thing to say. Owen was making good progress on the autopsy according to dad, who kept reporting to us.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!"
