I was bored, Celeste wasn’t online, and the alien freaks weren’t much fun. So I was on the net just surfing around looking for things to hack into, and it was getting harder to find a challenge any more. Pentagon, been there done that, I even got into the chat room for the employees to talk to each other. White house? Done that as well, I found out that our president has some cool dirty little secrets that no one will probably ever find out. Area 51? Please, that was the first thing I hacked into. And let me tell you all of the things you hear about the place is mostly true. There was a crash in the 50’s. There also was a some crash not long ago, in fact there was there, the one was six years ago and then another one a year after that then another one a year after that. Makes you wonder about all the added activity lately.
So I settled for some FBI files. No biggie, I got in with no problem, at one time there was a hackerbot trying to track me but the software I have on my computer sent it looking in circles till it hit a dead end which in turn crashed that computer that the bot was connected to. I finally got bored again with FBI and crashing bot computers, so I went on to some other government things. I hacked for a couple of hours till I heard the door slam loudly, and knew my mother had come home. I hurried up and stopped what I was doing and got off the net and jumped in bed just incase she checked in on me. It was a little after 12 midnight and I usually wasn’t aloud on the compute after 11 on weekends.
Mom didn’t check on me but I could tell by the way she was walking around the house that she was upset about something, so I read her mind again, this time it was filled with anger.
“Stupid Andalites! Elfangor better have been the only one, we can’t take more than we have right now. I know if there is I’m probably going to get blamed for the delay of the new plans that I was supposed to put in effect. Iniss better have not have made me look like a fool tonight. It’s his fault we have to deal with Allaran and the other one, Jorna is it? It doesn’t matter, I’ll get them out of the way and Visser Three will see that I can take care of things here on earth. Then the thirteen will put him on another assignment and let me regain control of things here. I don‘t know why that arrogant Visser was even stationed here in the first place, he‘ll mess up everything!”
I didn’t know what she was talking about, there was a lot of words that she used that I didn’t know. And It gave me a headache just listing to it because of how mad she was. I just laid there in bed wondering about it. I wished that I could have told Celeste then about what I had learned, I had a feeling that she knew more than she let on. Like when I told her what I was finding out wasn’t a big deal to her, like she already knew, she would even block her mind sometimes when I was talking about things like that.
Sometime during my thinking, I had drifted off to sleep, and had the weirdest dream. There standing in what looked like the constructions site not far from the mall downtown was two aliens, that is the only way to describe them. They looked somewhat like centaurs, but were blue and didn’t have any mouth that I could see. And had some kind of movable horns on top of their heads. But in the dream there was one of these aliens laying on the ground with the other standing over him. The one that was standing, I guess, was laughing, after a while the alien that was standing started to change into a big ugly monster and ate the other one whole.
I woke up with a jolt. What the heck was that! I looked at my watch and saw that It was only three o’clock, I didn’t think that I was going to get any more sleep so I got on my computer, turned off all sound and got on the net to see who was on. I found some of my friends from other countries on line and some late suffers but no one I really wanted to talk to. Who I really wanted to talk to was Celeste, but I couldn’t risk getting on the phone and risking my mother waking up and hearing me on the phone, that would have been fatal at the moment, she was already pretty ticked off about what happened last night, whatever did happen.
So I ended getting off the web and laying back on my bed trying to stop the images that I was remembering from the dream I had just had. I still couldn’t get to sleep so I just laid there thinking about things, and turning ideas around in my head about different ways I could figure out what happened and what is going on here in my own home.
Suddenly a loud noise woke me from my thoughts, I looked around and saw that my alarm clock was going off, I had forgotten to turn it off for the weekend. I hurried and turned it off so that it wouldn’t wake my mom up, then I got up out of bed and hurried and got on the net waiting for Celeste, when mom left for the day around nine she still wasn’t on so I went into the kitchen and got something for me to eat, and went back on my computer.
Around 12 another one of my friends that live in my town got on line and we started to talk to me. We were mostly talking about the news about the kids setting of fireworks in the old construction site, and how my friend didn’t believe the cops, and she thought they were covering something up. I was somewhat interested in whether it was true or not, if it really was another cover-up that would mean that this would be the fourth crash we have had in the U.S just in the past six years. That perked up my interest and I wrote a reminder on my computer to check back on the Area 51 site again in a couple of days to see what I could hack into. Then I just surfed for a while more.
I was still on the computer when mom came home that night, I looked to my clock and saw it was past time to get off, I logged off and laid in my bed. I was trying to think where Celeste would have been. I couldn’t wait till Monday when I could get out of the house and talk to Celeste, I had so much to tell her that I couldn’t wait to talk to her.
