MORNING – PRESENT DAY - THE WHITMAN HOUSE –

The alarm went off as it was five in the morning getting up Alexa would turn off the alarm and get showered and dressed then walked back to each of her sisters' rooms shaking them awake.

"Hey, wake up, we got to school". She said a bit tired herself.

As she left one of the sisters groaned getting up walking to the kitchen, she began to get the pan for eggs and yelled to her sisters

"Ariana, Ally! Wake up! Come on, we are going to be late and I have to drive, get your asses up". She sighed softly and turned down the heat putting the lid over the pan.

She then went back to their rooms and said with an angry tone "come on, guys wake up!" she shook them now.

"God, Alexa okay jeez". Ariana said giving up and woke up getting out of bed.

Alexa rolled her eyes sighing ignoring her sister's attitude going back to the kitchen to get the plates and set them up for them turning off the stove and had everything ready.

Alex had come to see everything set "you guys have enough? For lunch?"

Alexa replied, "yeah, dad I got this covered".

By the time everyone was done it was time to leave as they went to the car and she drove to school with Ariana and Ally thinking in his mind Alex went straight back to bed.

MID-MORNING 10-11 am – THE BARRICS

Flint saw Kyle come and folded his arms "glad you could spare some time".

"Intervals, I got thirty seconds". Kyle replied

"You said your patient—the one with the handprint still alive". Flint asked.

"Very much so". Kyle replied. "Is it possible that aliens aren't the enemy of humanity?"

As they were talking Jasmine his little sister was at the base, she was hiding in the shadows glaring towards Flint listening in on what they are talking about. What Flint stupidly did not know is she hid a drone with a microphone for her to hear from her end.

Flint spoke ignoring what Kyle just said "Now you charged in here demanding information about Rosa Parker's death. I provided you that information. Your turn now".

Back to Jasmine's hiding place she gasped hearing where it came from "you little..." she muttered "it was fake... I knew it, what are you up to Flint?" she asked herself trying to sneak closer using stuff already there to hide behind as she put the recording on, using her watch to get the audio in case Flint uses excuses she has evidence.

Kyle asked just curious "can't one of your other three brothers be your alien hunting buddy? You have three of them".

Flint replied reminded he even had brothers who one is worthless "this isn't for the faint of heart".

Kyle replied, "Are you calling Alex faint of heart?"

Scoffed hearing that she whispered "Ass..."

Kyle [CONTD] "This entire town threw him a parade when he came home from Iraq".

Flint replied "Kyle, you can participate in Project Shepard because it's your legacy or you can choose to participate because you wisely fear what the United States government can do to you and your quiet, small-town life, not to mention your quiet small-town friends. Your country eagerly awaits your decision".
