I wonder when they'll find the two guards. Sure enough the sirens go off noisily. Two guards hold our hands behind our backs. I hope I don't get a criminal record. Mum would never forgive me.
The commander comes over.
"Who the hell are you?!" Another man chips in,
"They're the children that died. These could be shapeshifting aliens!"
"Oh please!" I say. "They said that we were missing and they believed that we'd died."
"Well we won't know until we've run tests on you."
"I'm sure there are laws against this. We have rights." I look fiercely at him.
"Yes which you threw away when you trespassed young lady. Take them to the labs."
They prick us and take some blood. When they get the results they wave off Liam, but they call the commander over for me. They all look a bit puzzled. They run some more tests, Liam looks sick at all this.
"Skye Jones, if that's even your name. Can you explain why you've messed up our DNA scanners?"
"No I can't."
"You're lying! Dr Fennis, bring out the truth serum." A man in a white coat comes out with a syringe. They inject it into me then start to ask questions.
"Is your name Skye Jones?"
"Yes."
"Is that Liam Whatson?"
"Yes."
"Are you an alien?"
"No." I can sense that I'm not entirely telling the truth, but I seem to be saying the answers that I want them to know. I can't show that though.
"Why did our DNA scanners go haywire?"
"I have more more electrons in my body so all technology can go haywire near me."
"I don't think they're any threat captain." The commander looks at me and then at Liam.
"Just tie them up somewhere. I have enough to deal with right now."
We're taken to a room and seated in two chairs then tied together. We're also blindfolded, I'm not quite sure why we're such a threat to them.
"We need to get out of here Liam."
"I know, but how?"
"Well hold on, I'm gonna shake off my blindfold." I shake my head violently and the blindfold slips down around my neck (shake it off suddenly comes into my head and I start humming it). "Hold on I'm gonna get yours off. Don't move." I turn my head and take his blindfold off with my teeth. "Got it. Liam, I'm gonna see if I can slip under the the rope."
"You can?"
"If you're implying I'm fat-"
"No. No I'm just saying it's tight. No matter how thin you are..."
"Well suck in then. It'll make the rope more lax." I suck in too and do a kind of limbo movement under the rope. "I'm out!" Liam throws off the rope off him and tries the door. "It's locked."
"This is where being a girl has it's perks." I pull out a hair grip. I have absolutely no idea how some people pick locks, but after 30 seconds of wiggling it clicks. "Yes!" There's no guard so I guess we're not much of a threat.
We walk along the corridors but no-one seems to be here. It's almost as if they've all vanished. We reach the control room. It's completely empty. "Where is everybody?"
"Lunch break...?" Liam asks hopefully. He goes onto one of the computers. It's still open on all the documents. Not locked at all. What happened?
