Chapter 1 July 17th 2000
A tall man is driving his truck with his wife Sarah next to him and his two sons Leo and Mike in the back seats. His name is Mark Calloway. They are headed to Laguna Beach for vacation.
"DAD!!! LOOK OUT OVER THERE!!!" Leo shouts from the back.
Mark looks into the rearview mirror to see what his son is talking about while Sarah says "Leo do not shout at your father while he is driving".
Mark sees Leo pointing out the window and glances in that direction in time to see something hit a hill side and shake the earth, almost causing Mark to lose control.
"See young man what you did" Sarah hisses out.
"But" Leo Starts but is cut off by Sarah saying "no buts do not do that again"
While they were talking Mark stopped the vehicle on the side of the road. He gets out of the vehicle and Sarah stops reprimanding her son to look over now and see why Mark got out.
"Mark is everything okay"
Leo jumps out of the truck and runs in the direction of the explosion. Mark notices him and runs after shouting to stop.
Leo, ignoring his dad, keeps running up the hill. With Mark hot on his trails. The young boy gets about two-thirds up the hill when he is picked up by his dad. "When I say stop Leonard you stop. Got it?" Mark chastises his son.
"But dad there are people that need help." Leo says.
"I know I saw them but you need to stay here I will go" Mark states and puts his son down.
"Okay dad" Leo says.
Mark quickly moves up the rest of the hill and realizes it is not a hill, it is a cliff and there is a large object teetering on the edge.
As he approaches the top pops off and an AI sounding voice states "we have successfully made a crash landing please exit quickly as we are about to fall off and there is only a 0.00023% chance of survival if you fall to."
Mark gets to what he thinks is a crashed plane or helicopter. Though he is unfamiliar with any that has an AI like this one. He looks inside and sees three unconscious children. He grabs two of them as the AI says" we are falling in five… 4… 3… 2…1…" as the ship starts to fall Mike, who ran after his brother and father, grabs the 3rd child at the last second before the object crashes to the ocean below and explodes.
Mark looks down at his eldest son and says " While I'm glad you were able to help, why did you not stay with your brother?"
Mike smiles and says" you did not say to stay with him."
As Mark was about to respond a female voice said "while i am glad to be no longer in the ship can you put me down please?"
Mike looks down and says " oh sorry" while gently laying her down,
Mark, having already laid down the two he had in his arms, looks over and sees a blonde haired girl with blue eyes looking at them both with a look of caution or fear in her eyes. He says "there is nothing to be afraid of, we won't hurt you."
She looks at him for a second before trying to get up and go to her companions. She gets about half way then collapses unconscious and blood starts appearing on the ground beneath her. Mark rushes over and starts doing emergency triage. While yelling "Mike calls an ambulance, Sarah checks the other two for injuries." She rushes up the cliff with Leo and they start looking over the others.
After a couple of moments they determine that the two of them are both boys and dont seem to be physically hurt, just unconscious. While the girl seems to have multiple cuts, bruises and even broken bones.
With the triage done Mark determines that she needs emergency care and they can't wait for an ambulance. He carefully picked her up and handed her to Sarah to carry while picking up the two boys.
They move back to the truck and get moving toward the closest emergency room. In that time Sarah Said "Mike take the phone and tell them she won't make it if we wait for an ambulance"
"Ok mom" Mike replied
Mike takes the phone and relays the message to the emergency dispatch. Saying "my dad says that she lost too much blood and we are transporting them ourselves. Eta is 15 minutes to the Providence Mission hospital"
"Oh umm, does the person who made the decision have a medical background? It is very dangerous to move people who have been in an accident." Carol The dispatcher stated in reply.
"I think so says he served in the army a few years ago." stated Mike.
"Ok and I'm sorry who am I speaking to now? She asked.
"My name is Mike." he answered
"Well Mike, do you mind me asking how old you are?" She inquired
"I just turned seven." Was Mike's reply
"Oh well you are very mature for a young man your age." Carol complimented.
"Thank you ma'am. We are coming up to the front of the hospital now." Mike started blushing.
"Oh good and how is the girl doing?" Carol asked
"She is breathing but.. We stopped and are moving inside now." Mike responded
"Ok well then i will let you go and let me tell you you did a great job." Carol said before disconnecting the call.
When he was done with the call Mike looked around to find his mom to return her phone and spotted her placing the third child on a gurney he quickly walked over to her and when she looked at him he handed her her phone back.
A few hours go by
Mark is currently on the phone ta;ling to someone when 3 doctors approach him. He quickly ends his call before the doctors hear anything besides "I will call you later."
"Mr. Calloway, we are glad you are still here. I am Dr. Carlson, this is Dr. Nakamura and Dr, Karpov. We are the ones who operated on the girl you brought in. We also checked on the two boys as well."
Mark responds with "Of course Doctor, I wanted to make sure she was going to be ok after the amount of injuries I saw."
Dr. Karpov said "Yes, that is why we are here as unlike the boys who just seem to be exhausted her injuries look to be more deliberate and not caused by any vehicle accident."
Mark's face goes from shock to anger to sorrow, but not shock as Dr. Nakamura notes and states "you knew"
Mark says "I saw the injuries when I did triage so I suspected something had happened."
Dr Carlson said "thank you for the info."
A few hours later
Dr. Carlson appears again from the restricted section saying to Mark "the two boys are awake but refuse to speak to anyone. I was hoping you might be able to get them to open up since you pulled them from the wreckage."
I can try, doctor but I am not sure why they would speak to me over anyone else. I have not met them before. Mark is led into a room with three occupied beds. As he walks in the two boys start trying to get up while shouting in a foreign language. The doctor asks "what is that language?" while trying to restrain the two with Mark's help.
Mark replies "I don't know."
The two boys are twisting and turning until they hear a female say "δεν είναι αυτός" they all look to the middle of the room where the girl is awake and calmly sitting up. This time speaking English she says "my name is Karone, pleased to meet you."
After hearing the girl, the two boys seem to calm down. The men let them go and back up. The boy on the left looks at the girl and asks "are you sure."
She nods and he looks at them and sas " sorry my name is Andros and", motioning over to the other boy, "this is Zhane"
Mark speaks up saying "hello my name is Mark. Do you remember anything about how you ended up here?"
The three look at each other and they seem like they have a conversation without speaking and then shake their heads no.
Dr. Carlson says "that it is ok the memories should return in a few days or so just dont push to remember as that will only make it harder to do so. By the way, I am Dr. Carlson and while you are here the nurses and I will take care of you. On the note of taking care of you now that you are awake we will need to figure out what happened to you and where your family is,
and Miss Karone we will need to make sure there are no lasting effects of what you went through."
The three kids look at each other for a few seconds before they look back at the doctor and Andros opens his mouth but before able to say anything there is a knock at the door and a nurse walks in saying "sorry, to bother you doctor Carlson, but there is a man from the government and a man that claims to be the children's lawyer here to see you and mister Calloway"
The children look at each other confused while the doctor looks confused at the nurse and Mark. saying "i don't understand how anyone could have found out so soon but let's go talk to them i guess. Looking back to kids who look normal again says to them" we will be back shortly and maybe these men have the answers we were going to ask you,"
The three adults leave the room to go and speak to the newcomers. After they leave Andros says "thank the gods telepathy is hard to do."
Karone says "sorry brother i forgot that you are better at telekinesis than telepathy but with the adults around we have to keep the details of who we are and what happened to ourselves." "Also seems like we landed on Earth, or at least I think it is Earth based on the language they are speaking so we should stick to it as well."
Zhane says "good idea Karone and i will pretend to be your brother also to limit the questions being asked."
Andros says "good plan but Karone that mark guy looks just like Him, just with tattoos all over him. Are you sure there is a different mind there?"
"Yes I am sure." She responds
"Also I don't know why but he seems trustworthy. He knows we are not from here and has not said anything" she continued.
Zhane says "I'm more worried about these new guys. Someone from the government sounds bad for us until we get a cover story established."
Andros asks "maybe we should make a run for it?"
Karone says "I can't sit up and take all my energy, but if you can get away then you should do so."
The two boys respond simultaneously "we are not going to abandon you."
From the doorway the three here say "running probably won't work anyway there is something off about this gov agent and lawyer." "they got here way to quick" The three look over with shock to see Leo leaning against the door. Karone says "how did we not notice you?" Andros says "who are you?" Zhane says "how long have you been there?"
Leo laughs saying "most people would not have understood any of that, but to answer your questions 1st my name is Leo i am Mark's youngest son 2nd i've been here since they brought you in here and how you did not notice i can't answer that as im not sure how you would have noticed me here when you all were not conscious. Now that I answered your questions, it's my turn to ask some. 1st what did you mean by telekinesis and telepathy? 2nd, would you like to be friends? 3rd, what language were you speaking before?"
The three look at each other and Karone says "well for the 1st question we can discuss that here. 2nd sure why not and for 3rd see 1st answer. But if given the chance i promise to tell you what i can."
At the same time at the nurse's station
Mark and Dr Carlson walked in and saw two men, almost as tall as Mark but stockier, were trying to sit
in chairs that were designed with smaller people in mind. The nurse at the front counter says oh good doc it is those gentlemen over there. Pointing to the large men.
Dr Carlson says thank you nurse mendoza.
He and Mark then make their way over. As they approach the men they hear the slightly taller one say " bro i might be stuck and may have to break the chair to get up. Then they hear laughter coming from the other man saying I told you not to sit down, you go to the gym too much.
Gentlemen, I apologize for interrupting. I am Dr. Carlson, and this is Mr Mark Calloway. I was told you were needing to speak to us. Dr. Carlson interrupts.
The two men look over and in unison yes doctor. They look at each other then say go ahead to the other. There is a long pause like the three kids earlier. The taller one says sorry that my name is Marcus Valerius Corvus. I am a lawyer who's firm was contacted this morning about three kids being potentially the only survivors of a boat wreck.
The other man says that I am Perseus Zarak and I'm a representative from the coast guard that found a sunk fishing boat that had multiple adults but the three children that were reported on there as well were missing. We are hoping the three children that were brought in will match the descriptions and we can close the case with hopefully not all hands lost.
Mark asks that explains why you want the doctor but what do I have to do with this?
Valerius says well if the three kids are in fact the ones we are both looking for that would mean they are now orphans and while we can put them into the system we were hoping to persuade you to take them in.
Mark looks shocked then confused then understanding passes his face saying I will as long as they are agreeable to it.
Dr Carlson says before getting ahead of ourselves let us make sure these are the kids you are looking for. Do you have pictures?
Valerius says Yes of course Let me get that for you.
He tries to stand up but is stuck. It takes Mark and Zarak to pull him up to get him unstuck.
Then from his computer bag he pulls a file with three pictures in it. He hands them.over to Dr. Carlson who looks at them and then hands them over to Mark who looks at them and Mark says those are the kids I helped.
Then Zarak says those are the same kids we found pictures on the salvaged boat. I think it is time to speak to the kids about what their options are but we should not overwhelm them so since they are familiar with you Mr. Calloway would provide them with their options please.
Mark shrugs saying I can do that just to make sure we are clear there options are to be adopted.by my family and I or get put in foster care?
Zarak replies that is correct.
Mark nods his head and says to the doctor "Is it OK for me to go talk to them in private?"
Dr Carlson says Yes of course the room they are in should be fine and I will wait outside for you to finish to prevent the nurses that are doing their rounds from disturbing you.
Thank you doctor. Is the reply from Mark.
The two Head back into the restricted area and go to the door before knocking and entering. They walk in on four children sitting and talking about TV shows they have seen. Mark looks at his son and says You should be with your mother and brother Leonard.
Leo looks sheepish and says I wanted to meet them so I stayed behind.
Mark raises an eyebrow and says I can see that you stayed behind but I don't have time to deal with you right now so that will wait. Right now I need to speak to these three in private please Leo go with the doctor and this time do what you are told ok.
Ok dad. Leo said.
After Leo and Dr. Carlson leave Mark pulls up a seat near the three. He pauses before saying "so here is the deal I know you are from another "place and I pulled some strings to explain away why you are now alone but then brought up what to do. You can't live here alone; you are too young by this country's standards. So you have two options: you can be put into the foster care system and hopefully you go to a good home together but probably will Be split up and sent to subpar homes. The other option is I can adopt you and I can provide the best living conditions I can. It won't be perfect but hopefully better then you have had.
I will give you a few minutes to decide. I wish I could give you more time but I need to provide your answer to the lawyer.
As he gets up and heads to the door the three say we accept to be adopted by you.
