The cuckoo

Part 6 Exposed

George inwardly berated himself for what he saw in himself as cowardice.  He had never really felt like a brave person, so it was very easy for him to decide May was not in immediate danger and therefore be spared the necessity of the possibility of physical involvement.     With a mental groan he screwed up his courage and marched boldly into view and strode purposefully towards Harry and May.     May's reaction was completely baffling to him as she leapt to her feet and stood between Harry and George.  

Obviously panicked and with tears streaming down her face she practically screamed at Harry "Don't hurt him.   Please don't hurt him"     By no stretch of his imagination could George imagine that Harry could be that dangerous. The guy is just recovering from some major health trauma and looks as weak as a kitten.  Naturally of a pale complexion and very slightly built it is even strange that he has managed to be controlling his sister in this way.    Well he was committed now so time to put on a brave face.   "Harry" he said  "I have watched you and I know that you are forcing May to go with you.  I don't know what your game is but she is coming with me now.  Furthermore we are going to the police station and they will soon pick you up.  So I would advise you to simply come with us now and it will no doubt save you from a lot more trouble than you are already in" .   

May started to speak "It's ok George, you have it all wrong! go back home!"   Suddenly May stopped mid-sentence as though she had been gagged. And then Harry spoke.  "You are smart so I am not going to try to deceive you George, so it will have to be the truth. You had best sit down, don't speak, just listen!"  Harry proceeded to tell George his whole history as he had told May.  Finally he said "You decide now, but I tell you this, you know what I know and I truly don't know what I am or even why I am. I do know I am important to your species and I have a purpose.  I have to succeed and I am going to be needing you to trust in me.  George I am going to do something to you and it won't be very pleasant for you.  You won't come to any harm though and it will help you to decide whether to help me or not"   Harry was suddenly walking towards me with his hand palm outwards and stretched out in front of him. I wasn't compelled in any way but nether the less I allowed him to come right up to me and I stayed still as he laid his hand onto my forehead.  a blinding flash somewhere deep inside my head.  Suddenly everything is different and I know with certainty that Harry told me everything.  I know he does have to do something important.  Something big and he needs to succeed.

I stand up and I walk over to harry and proffer my hand to him.  With a huge look of relief on his face he takes my hand, leans forward and kisses me on the lips.  May's face contorts with happy laughter as she comprehends.  Harry doesn't understand sexual differences, he hasn't expended precious time and energy analysing everything about us.   In his theft of May's knowledge and memories he see's kissing as a seal of trust between two people.   The kiss did feel good to Harry but he could see that it had totally confused his two companions, although not actually displeased them.  Oh well a mystery to be looked into another time.  He felt a new and nice sensation now.  A bond with these two beings that made him feel warm inside, kind of protective towards them.  And now he had allies.
