talk to him. He might be able to help us, maybe he could help save our town”
“Finally an adult we can talk to. We sure do need to talk to him.” Kyle added “But how do we find him? He could be anywhere in this town. We could be looking for him all night. We don’t have time”
Sam shook his head “We don’t need to look for him. We could’ve talked to him anytime we wanted to”
The kids looked to Sam confused.
“What are you talking about?” Bobby asked.
Sam didn’t say anything he just turned and walked halfway through the backyard towards the forest and stop “Are you there John Smith?”
The other three boys looked at each other even more confused, then back to the dark forest.
They watched as something moved inside the dark forest. It was hard to make out what it was right away. The bushes started to move and out walked a figure. They couldn’t tell who it was right away in the low light.
As the figure got closer Bobby saw the face and his eyes lit up “No way. We got to get out of here. It’s the creepy guy who grabbed me”
“Wait” Sam called out “He’s here to help us”
Bobby stopped and looked back at him.
The old man stood before them, as the kids didn’t know what to say.
“John smith?” Sam asked
“Yes I am” the man said calmly. His eyes relaxed. He was no longer fidgeting.
“Why are you not acting crazy?” Bobby looked confused.
“I now know this is were I’m meant to be.” John said, “For so long I wondered the earth, not knowing who I was meant to talk to, but within the last few days my thoughts have become clear. I now have an understanding of my mission in life. Everyone has a mission. Most people will never know what there calling is because they fail to look within. People don’t know about their calling because they are distracted by false illusions, pulled away from the truth. They’re walking the false path, like I have for so long. For many years I search the earth looking for gold. Thinking it was the source of happiness. I believed if I found money I could buy everything I very wanted and it would bring true happiness. I couldn’t have been more wrong. It doesn’t matter where you look or how long, if your goal is the wrong path you will never find truth in it. I was shown the way. Shown the right fold path. I gave myself over to the higher power and they showed me the true meaning of my existence. I saw how the world could be right. I saw the world as one. A place with no countries, were we did not have to go to war. Were we shared everything with our common man. No reasons in the heart to kill or be angry, but live in a world were we felt compassion for all things. I might very well be a wishful thinker, but it might happen and we can share the world. A chance to let go of religions and possessions of illusions. No more fighting over greed. We don’t know what religion is correct, but we can learn from all of them to become better people. If someone were to ask me, what religion are you, I would say all of them. Hopefully I’m not the only human on this planet who feels this way, hopefully others feel the same and they can unite to help make the world a better place. I don’t know if the thoughts in my head are a goal for mankind to move towards or the future that will happen. Maybe I was meant to tell people of this dream so we could move towards it. The aliens have been around for a long time. I wandered into the desert because of a lost map saying there was something hidden out there. I thought it was gold, but the riches turned out to be knowledge. I found myself in a secret base. I have no idea how but I found myself inside. I know of the General and the truth of why they’re in town. I know how it will all turn out”
“This is amazing to hear” Timmy whispered as the others nodded.
Bobby looked towards his house, hoping his parents didn’t look out the window and see all of them “We better move from the backyard or our parents will see us,” he said.
“Good point” Timmy said “Let’s head over to the parking lot for better lighting, instead of being in the darkness”
The others nodded and they slowly peaked in the house back window, making sure no one inside could see them. They quietly snuck out of the backyard and moved down a few blocks towards the lit parking lot of the dog park. They stood under the bright lights. The park behind them was covered in darkness.
Timmy wanted to know why the aliens wanted to attack innocent people in his town, why where the aliens evil? He turned to John Smith “Was it you I saw in my backyard during the night from my window?”
John smith nodded. “I had to watch over you kids. There’s more going on here then you could imagine. Each of you have been called upon for something greater” He turned to Sam “I didn’t mean to scare any of you when I grabbed you. I just needed to get the message out before it was to late. I figured if I knew about you they would as well”
“They?” Sam asked.
“The aliens. May years ago I looked into the eyes of the aliens. I’ve seen the future. There’s something you need to know, something very important. The war is coming. A war that will change everything, the world will not be the same. You must know the truth. When the time is right you will have to leave this world to find the answers, you will know what to do when it is in front of you. Do not run from it, but run to it. They have been watching for so long. What you think about life being correct is not. Let me tell you the truth about aliens and what the future holds for everyone…”
The kids all held there breathe staring at John Smith.
“The truth is…”
Before he could speak another word. A car’s high beams shot on from across the parking lot lighting up the kids and the park behind them.
The kids jumped in fear as they all turned and looked at the same time at the source.
Multiple black cars with tinted windows came storming into the parking lot towards them.
“It’s them, the men in black. Run.” Bobby yelled out.
The kids took off towards the exit of the parking lot in shock, staying close together. The black cars where halfway in the parking lot and turned around towards the exit without slowing down causing there tire to skid in a half circle, echoing throughout the parking lot. The cars quickly closed in on the kids, as the headlights looked like bulls eyes bearing down on innocent victims.
The kids reached the exit and ran up the middle of the street. The cars spend up, closing in on them at incredible speed.
Sam looked over his shoulder and could see the black cars moving in. They were just a few feet behind.
John Smith yelled out to the kids “We need to break up, it’s me they want. You kids are more important for the mission”
The kids reached an intersection and John Smith took off to his right down the road into the darkness as a black car turned to follow.
The kids turned to there left and kept running as a few cars followed them.
Sam looked over to the others and yelled out “Whatever happens, met up at hole in the tree,” He hoped everyone heard him. Too much was happening, he knew everyone was freaking out. The black cars with the mystery drivers were closing in on all of them. He noticed Timmy and Kyle where behind him still running with him as one of the black cars turned to follow. He knew another car had turned to chase after John Smith, but where was Bobby? He was nowhere to be seen.
Bobby ran down the dark the road knowing he was alone. Some how he got separated from the group. He thought Timmy was next to him, but he now found himself alone on a darken street with a black car right behind him. He thought he saw Sam take a quick right towards Charter Street, maybe. He was too far away now to turn around and go back. If he slowed down for a second the car behind him would catch up. He ran along moving closer to the intersection of Clover Street. He had been on the street many times growing up and knew it had a narrow alleyway behind the stores. Maybe he could escape down it and loss the car. He didn’t have to look over his shoulder to know the black car was getting closer as he approached Clover Street. Just as the black car had closed into a few feet at the last moment h
e cut to his right and made his way down the dark alleyway. The black car completely missed the turn and had to stop suddenly and the driver put it into reverse.
He felt good knowing his last second cut into the alleyway caught the diver off guard. It gave him the few extra seconds to take advantage of the darkness and hide. He moved in and around the garbage and recycling bins. He knew the black car would have a difficult time moving around them, slowing the car down even more. In action movies cars would just smash through them, but in real life it would damage the front of the car causing it to stop. He glanced over his shoulder as and could see the car half a block behind him. His trick was working. Now he just had to figure out a way of getting away from the car for good. He ran from one block to the next hoping each time he finished a block he would see a police car driving by and he could wave it down. As he entered a new block’s alleyway he knew it would only be a matter of time before the black car caught up to him. He figured he had enough time to hid behind one of the large recycling bin he was moving towards. It was a gamble, keep running or hide and hope the car drives past him. It was now or never. He quickly ducked behind the large gray bin to his right and kept low and quiet as the black car approached. He could tell by the sound the car was slowing down. The driver must’ve known he was hiding somewhere, but didn’t know
