As Dr. Drake finishes explaining everything to Andrew, I think of a way to protect James from them.
"We haven't seen any aliens before," Andrew says.
"That's the same thing you're wife says. If you two are hiding something we will find out and I feel sorry for what we will have to do next."
Andrew starts to get angry.
"Are you threatening my family??" He asks in a threatening tone.
"Of course not. I don't want to harm such good folk like you. But if you don't tell us the truth then we will have to use force."
"We don't know anything about a baby alien. We swear."
"Will you bet your children's safety, Mr. Anderson?"
"You wouldn't."
"Oh, wouldn't I. I told you before Mr. and Mrs. Anderson. I will do whatever it takes to protect this world from threats like terrorism."
"Even if it means hurting an innocent family?"
"If that's what it takes."
Andrew walks up to Dr. Drake. A soldier tries to block Dr. Drake.
"I'm going to have to ask you to back away sir."
Andrew grabs the soldier and headbutts him to the ground. He grabs David by his collar.
"You can go to hell!" Andrew yells.
"Be careful Mr. Anderson," Dr. Drake calmly says.
Andrew calmly looks around him and notices soldiers pointing guns at him.
"You win."
Andrew lets go of Drake's collar.
"So I will ask you again and if you say no then I will have to undergo a drastic action. Where is the alien baby?"
"We don't know."
Dr. Drake motions to a soldier.
"Fine. We will do it the hard way."
A soldier hits Andrew in the face with a gun, knocking him to the ground.
"Emily run!"
I try to run but two soldiers grab me. They have a tough grip on me. They bring me back into the living room and pin me to the ground. I look up and see a gun pointing at my head. I am officially scared.
"I didn't want to do this Emily but you gave me no choice."
"You bastard! I let you into my house and this is how you treat us??!!"
"This is nothing personal."
Andrew starts struggling but the soldiers have him pinned.
"YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS!!!" Andrew yells in a desperate tone.
"You are right. It doesn't have to be this way. You can just tell us where the baby alien is and we will leave you alone."
"We don't know what you're talking about!" Andrew cries out.
"Fine. Bring out the children."
"Wait, no!" Andrew yells trying to get up but a soldier knocks him back down.
3 of the soldiers walk upstairs and come down with the children in their arms.
"Mom, Dad. Help us!"
"Bring them to the carpet!" Dr. Drake yells.
The children are brought to the floor.
"Please don't hurt them," I plead, sobbing like crazy.
"Fine, tell us where the alien baby is."
"I can't."
Dr. Drake motions his hand toward 3 of the military men.
"You have to the count of 5 to tell me where the alien baby is."
"Wait!"
"1."
"Just hold on a second!"
"2."
"We can talk about this!"
"3."
"Please just wait."
"I have waited long enough. 4."
"NOOOOO!!!"
Suddenly before Drake can count there is a loud crying sound.
"Bingo," Dr. Drake says.
He instructs one of his soldiers to go and fetch the baby. The soldier walks out with the baby.
"Finally we have what we came for."
"So go please."
"Not yet. I am afraid we have one more thing to take care of. We can't have any witnesses. Besides, you would probably rat us out to the police."
"No, we won't. We promise to keep this quiet."
Dr. Drake shakes his head.
"Can't take any chances."
He looks at a soldier.
"Kill them all."
"Um, sir?"
"Did you not hear me?"
"Yes, sir."
The soldier gives his fellow men a gesture.
We look at the children and then towards each other.
"Wait! Please just kill us! Let our children live! You know what it is like to lose your children! Don't let us suffer from the same fate!"
Dr. Drake thinks for a moment.
"Do it!" He says.
"NOOOOOOOO!!!" I yell in a bloodcurdling cry.
The soldiers pinning down the children shoot them in the heads. I can't believe what I just saw.
"No! No! No! They were just innocent children! How could you do this?"
"Simple. I just did it."
I and Andrew both couldn't stop sobbing. Dr. Drake pulls out a pistol.
"If it's any consolation, you two will be joining them soon."
The next thing I heard was a gunshot and then there was nothing.
