it one more time.
    “I was on leave after my second
tour in Afghanistan. The roadblock I came to had soldiers with no insignia. I
went to the nearest base, had some drinks with a bartender, and we came back to
check it out. This time, there were ROTC kids there, but I could see the UFOs
in the sky. Suddenly one of them became a fireball, and the next thing I
remember was being tortured in that hell hole,” Mikey explained, hoping they’d
believe him and not ask him to tell it again and again.
    Grai and David looked at one
another, and Mikey could swear they were doing the mind talking thing again. It
bothered him that he was again at the mercy of someone else, and he hoped he
could get his freedom.
    “Look guys, I’m really grateful you
got me out of there. If you can just drop me off somewhere, I can take care of
myself from there,” Mikey offered. He really didn’t want to have to try and
escape these two.
    Grai sat back and folded his arms
across his chest as he silently stared at Mikey. Mikey couldn’t hold his gaze
and turned to David as he spoke.
    “You wouldn’t last a second out
there, and you know it. Between all the cameras and facial recognition software,
you’d be retaken by the end of the day. You’re better off with us until we can
get you a new identity and papers,” David said, hoping to get the kid quiet.
    “But . . .” Mikey began before Grai
released his safety belt and had his hand around his throat.
    “You go nowhere until I know what
the hell happened out there and where my brother is!” Grai roared at Mikey
while David tried to pull him away from the kid.
    “Landing in 5, 4, 3 . . .” the
pilot called out.
    Grai shook off David and stood over
an angry, scared Mikey as a small thump signaled the landing of the craft. Grai
leaned down and unsnapped Mikey’s safety harness before pulling him to his feet
and throwing him over his shoulder.
    Mikey leaned up to say something as
he was carried out of the ship, but the jerking of David’s head told him he
should probably shut up. It didn’t matter since a few seconds later Mikey was
rendered mute as he swung his head around, taking in all the UFOs parked around
them.
    Mikey returned the stares of what
appeared to be taller-than-average humans with the same strange swirls in their
eyes that Grai and David had.
    Where the hell am I? Mikey
wondered as he was carried out of the UFO hangar and through some hallways
before he was dumped unceremoniously onto a bed.
    Mikey tried to see where he was,
but he couldn’t see much of anything with Grai standing in front of him.
    “Get him healed and checked. I’ll
be back in an hour,” Grai ordered before he slammed out of the door.
    Mikey turned from the door when he
heard the beautiful voice come from beside him. He turned to see a gorgeous
blond with striking blue eyes that had green swirls in them. She stood at least
six feet tall, and her white coat did little to hide her killer curves.
    Her black pencil skirt emphasized
her curvy hips, flat stomach, and legs that seemed to go on forever beneath the
hem of her skirt. The white, button-up top did little to hide the swell of her
full breasts.
    Is she an alien too? Mikey
wondered as he stared at her with fascination, instantly attracted to her in a
way he never felt before.
    “David, you’re not needed unless
you believe him to be dangerous,” Dr. Lauren Campbell said as she began the
scans on the wounded man.
    David ran a hand over his head as
he looked between Mikey and the door.
    “I’ll post someone outside. If you
have any problems . . .” David said, wanting to get out of there so he could
talk to Grai.
    Lauren chuckled.
    “I’m sure I can handle myself,”
Lauren assured him before she looked pointedly at the door.
    David gave a narrow eyed glare at
Mikey.
    “Be nice and no one here will harm
you. Her name is Dr. Campbell, and she’s going to help with that bullet you
took on the roof,” David said, making sure the kid understood
