  Extraterrestrial Investigator

  Field investigators Judy Clark and Stephen Weiss of Extraterrestrial Investigators arrived at my door eager to hear my account of my alien abduction. After seeing the things, I’m capable of doing Stephen’s belief in my story shot through the roof while Judy, the skeptic became fearful. Maybe I shouldn’t have involved them knowing the consequences faced by those who got too close to the truth.

  I had previously shown them the Prime Canos known as Julian Frost, the mega pop star. I pointed my finger at my living room floor and produced a life size 4D holographic image of Nina Montoya, the no talent super-duper reality star.

  “Is that Nina Montoya?” asked a wide eyed Stephen as he inspected the image. “Her Gondoran Prime name is Xantha, daughter of the High Prime,” I said, looking at a nervous Judy. “This is effin’ amazing!” exclaimed Stephen as he walked around the holographic image. “The hottest girl on the face of the planet is an alien.”

  Judy flashed Stephen a look of displeasure. “Do we need to see anymore?” asked Judy. I could sense her apprehension. “Yes,” I said, “this is the proof that you wanted. This answers all of your questions. I’ve shown you only two so far. There are a total of twelve living among us in plain sight.”

  “Who are the other ten?” asked Stephen as he continued inspecting the Nina Montoya holographic image.

  Looking at Judy, I thought about the next image. Immediately the 4D holographic image changed to a towering Elijah “The Prophet” Gaines, the collegiate All-American and NBA superstar. There weren’t enough adjectives to describe the things this guy did. I didn’t want to believe he was an alien, but it was proven to me. I can now understand why he was able to do the things he did at the U of M and NBA.

  Is that Elijah “The Prophet” Gaines?” asked Stephen hysterically as he looked up into the face of the 4D holographic image. “On Vathia, he is known as Brale,” I said, still keeping an eye on Judy. Her fear was escalating. She had asked for proof, and I was giving it to her.

  “This is mind blowing,” said Stephen as he walked around the 4D model and occasionally passing his hand through it. “I once saw him score six touchdowns at the U of M.”

  To calm an excited Stephen, I thought about the next image, showing them Helus, known as William Van Buren on Earth. Of all the Prime, he was the most despicable. He was a maestro of chaos.

  “Van Buren’s is a Gandoran alien,” said a baffled Judy. “Yes,” I said as I glared at the 4D model of Van Buren. “He’s the most despicable of all the Primes.”

  “I can believe that,” chimed Stephen as he threw a punch through the hologram. “Although it was not proven I believed he incited that attack on the mosque.”

  “He did,” I said confidently. “It’s his nature to create chaos.”

  I thought about the next Prime on the list. The 4D holographic image of Graham Corbett popped up.

  “It’s Graham Corbett, the guy who almost single-handedly put Apple and Microsoft out of business,” said Stephen as he stood next to the hologram. “If it had not been for government intervention he would have done it.”

  “This is just too much,” Judy said. “I’m still having a hard time believing that all of these people are aliens.”

  “Why Judy?” I asked. “I’ve shown you what I can do. Why can’t they be aliens?”

  “I do not know,” said a confused Judy. “It just doesn’t make any sense.”

  “It makes perfect sense Judy,” I said, “Just look around you! Just look at the state of the world!” A baffled Judy glared at me. Hopefully, by the time I finished showing the last Prime, she would understand that it all makes perfect sense.

  “I think I’m starting to see how all of this makes sense,” said Stephen. Judy cut her eyes at Stephen then said, “Please enlighten me Stephen.”

  Before Stephen could enlighten Judy, I said, “Graham Corbett’s Vathian name is Vonar.” Taking a peek inside Stephen’s head, I knew he was not close to understanding, but he wasn’t too far away. “He is a Vathian who elected to join the Gandorans. If you own any Genius products, they were developed by Corbett.”

  “All of our current tech products are alien in origin,” said Stephen as his excitement level continued to rise. “All of it,” I said. “Now you understand why I did not want you use your laptops.”

  A cellphone rang loudly. Judy reached into her bag and removed a Genius 9TKL. Before she could answer, I extended my right hand and the nanomachines quickly disabled the phone. A shocked Judy looked at the smoking phone. “My phone!”

  “All Genius tech must be destroyed,” I said angrily. “Remember the men in black.” An upset Judy jammed the phone back into her bag. “What did you to it?”

  “I fried the CPU and all its processors,” I said, glaring at Judy. “Just like that,” said Judy with a bit of fear in her voice. “I liked that phone.”

  I thought about the next Prime and produced a 4D holographic image of Art Rhodes. “That’s Senator Art Rhodes,” said Judy as she peered at the image. “I just can’t believe this.”

  “I can believe it,” chimed Stephen. “This dude is real political douchebag.”

  “To you he’s Art Rhodes, but to me he’s Volerlust the master manipulator and engineer of global warming,” I said looking at the glowing hologram. Judy shook her head in dismay. Looking inside her head, she wasn’t sure if she wanted to continue hearing my story.

  “What do you mean he engineered global warming?” asked Stephen as he looked at the hologram. “He saw that global warming happened as part of their plan to elevate the toxin levels.”

  Stephen shoulders slumped and his head dropped. “This is unbelievable.”

  “He has been the U. S. Vice President on several occasions to ensure that a Prime could always return as President. He has performed the same duties in Russia and China,” I said.

  Neither Stephen nor Judy said anything. I immediately produced the next Prime on the list. The glowing 4D life-size hologram of Houston Burch appeared. It was as if the billionaire two times over was standing in my living room.

  “It’s Houston Burch,” said Judy dejectedly. “So the richest man in the world is an alien.”

  “His Gandoran name is Morvant,” I said. “Now you understand why he’s so rich.” Judy shook her head in disbelief. I still don’t understand why all of this was hard for her.

  “I think I’ll have that water now,” said Judy as she tried to take in everything I had shown them. I went to the refrigerator and fetched a bottle of water for Judy who had her head in her hands. I took another quick peek into her mind. She was still filled with fear and doubt. Then she said something very stupid. “We have to inform people about all of this. We can’t just sit back and do nothing.”

  Placing the bottle of water next to Judy, I asked starkly, “Aren't you listening to me? It’s too late to do anything.”
