"The Great Hollywood Invasion" - Part Five

Image
  Part Five             A week after Bobby Wright’s abduction and reemergence, Route 375 had become a place of interest for the U.S. Army. Officials flooded the scene within the span of two days after detecting strange energy emitting from the scene of the UFO encounter. On the first day, General Martin Powers—a by-the-book WWII veteran—was taking lead of the investigation. But, the following morning, he was informed by the Pentagon that a ‘specialist’ from a clandestine global organization would be handling things.             Powers knew who this specialist was and the ‘top secret’ organization she worked for.

She was amazed by how fluent it was in English. “Is that why you kidnapped Bobby?”             The alien enthusiastically nodded. “Uh-huh. For the feedback.”             He then reached into his left pants pocket and retrieved a small device—shaped like a garage door opener. With the press of a button, the lights in the room dimmed, except for one above the ...
