We're not Alone - Jack Kline

Lost and Found

When my mom arrived, she said to boy a few peace words and then he came with us without any resistance. I decided going with them eill be interesting. Then again, mum needed witness and testimony, so I wrote fast message to Betty that'll check her later and I went with mom and weird stranger at the police station. There we gave him some clothes, because being in his company was quite embarrassing.

"Ok, let's start. What's your name?" mom asked, as she sent the other deputies at the patrols. That mesns we were alone at the station, but this boy didn't look dangerous, so I haven't problem with that. He curiously watched clothes, which we gave him, as if it was the first time he seen such a things.

"Jack" said after a while. I took him enough to figure it out "I am Jack."

"Jack what?" mum continued. The boy looked little confused by the question.

"Surname. Don't you remember your surname?" I tried to help. Boy shook his head.

"Mom called me just Jack"

"Ok, let's try otherwise. Where your parents?" Mom changed her tactic.

"My mom is ... She is in heaven" said whith sadly in his voice. We nodded heads with compassion. Poor kid. I never met my father, so I never especially felt his absence, but if he knew his mother, losing a parent have to be very painful "My father ... He supposed to be here, but ... He is not. I have to find my father" He said nervously.

"And we want you to help you" Mom assured him "Do you remember anything about your father? Address, phone number?" she asked and Jack didn't react "Email? Do you remember anything?"

"I remember the ..." boy began, and we turn up our ears, wondering what he's going to say "I remember the evil woman burned. I remember how world screamed"

"Oh good, he is so stoned" I said amused.

"No, he is not. I can recognize a person under the influence of drugs and he is not" mom insisted "Ok Jack, we'll compare your fingerprint with our database and try to find your father. Sara, can you watch over Jack?" I nodded and mom went to her office.

"So, where are you from?" I tried to pull something out from him.

"From the planet Earth" he said, as if it was obvious.

"Are you sure you aren't on something?" I asked peering into his eyes, looking for some signs of beeing stone.

"I am on the floor" hd was more confused than me. I couldn't help little laugh going out from my mouth.

"Ok, let's just wait until my mom find your father. Why are you looking around, do you want something?" I asked, and then realised, that it could sound a little rude.

"I'm..." stopped, like he was looking for right word. "Hungry" kid complained.

"There is no problem, do you like chocolate? Want something to drink?" I asked, but he only shrugged. I took out my wallet and move in direction food machine. Jack followed for me as a lost poppy. Unfortunattly I found out, that my wallet is almost empty.

"Shit, I have not little money, we have to wait until mom come back, she'll give you something to eat" Jack did sad face, looking on machine full of goodies.

"But I'm hungry" he said sadly. I couldn't stand this face.

"Wait a second, I think that I have something in my bag" I starded looking for anything to eat in my inside, while Jack slowly put his hand at the wall of machine and when he touched it, light in the entire room suddenly started to flash. I thought it was just a failure, but after a while machine began throw out a food and when Jack took hand, everything returned to normal. The boy laughed and reached the food.

"How. did. you. do. this?!" I screamed surprised and feared.

"I don't know" he said, much more interested in chocolate, than his supernatural abilities. After a while he realized, that is not able to unpack bar and again, did a sad face. I involuntarily smiled on this view.

"I will help you" I offered and took the bar to hand" You can open it this way" I explained. Jack grabbed a different bar and opened the candy bar in the same way.

"Thank you" he smiled happily and began to consume it. After a while, boy moved in my direction half of sweets "Eat with me" he asked and I smiled to him.

"Thanks Jack" I said, and began to eat sneakers.

"Kids?" I turned surprised at the sound of the voice of my mom. She have just entered the room and curiously looked at our food "What happened with the lights?"

"It's Jack" I said still confused "Can you show her?" I asked the boy uncertain, fearing what else can he do. The kid smiled with enthusiasm and repeated his trick. When the machine throw out food again, Jack laughing collected all of them.

"Jack, how did you do that?" mom asked also concerned.

"I don't know" he repeated "But I like it. I like nougat"

"Apparently" I nodded as he ate another candy.

"What will we do?" I asked whisperring. No matter how charming this kid was, this phenomenom was making me freaking out.

"A FBI agent contacted me, apparently they are looking for him. Let's wait for them, then they will have a lot to explain" she decided.

- Let's go Jack, we can eat on the table - I said grabbing his hand to take boy to another room, but as soon as I touched his body he shuddered and broke free. I wondered who could he be. If FBI was after him, maybe he was some kind of government experiment?

"Agh!" yelled, touching the arm in the place where I grabed it  "it burns! 

"But I bearly touched it!" I said mom, when she came to boy.

"Are you all right?" she asked also in order to touch him, but before she could do it, she was immidiatly thrown on the wall by invisible strength.

"Mom!" I shouted running up to her. She was sitting against the wall, but fortunately, she was conscious and tried to get up.

"I didn't wanted! - feared Jack yelled, making a few steps in the back. suddenly as it appeared a man and  shot of Taser struck down Jack on the ground.

" Are you allright?"he asked, when next to it appeared another man.

- Drop the weapon! - I heard behind the voice of my mum. I turned around and saw, that she is pointing at them with a gun.

"Relax, we are the FBI" one of them tried to explain.

"Somehow you do not believe" she said, still aiming.

"Jack, are you ok? - I asked, kneeling beside the boy.

"Don't touch him Sara - mom instructed mom. Her voice was not talking oposition" and you promised me explain everything, so talk" she added to FBI guy.
