"Good morning America! It's Suzanne Brinks here with the 6 A.M news. I got this news late last night and there seems to be a series of disappearances in Hillbrook, Alabama. Hayley Di'Blanca was reported missing by her father, Andy Di'Blanca, huge successor of Di'Blanca Lumber.

Mr. Di'Blanca says Hayley wasn't home yesterday morning but thought she had already left for school so he didn't think anything of it. Hayley seems to be the second girl from the small town to have seemingly vanished into thin air this week!"

The blonde lady looks above the camera, making it obvious someone is talking to her. Her mouth opens and she nods, her eyes going back to the camera. "We just now have reports of another missing teenager, which will make three this week. Madison Lawson went missing Monday, Haley yesterday and.." she pauses looking up from the camera again, "Willow Charleston has been reported missing this morning. We also have reports on missing teenagers, all female, in this exact order from three other states and the authorities are keeping a close eye on all the families affected. Bless their hearts."

Another pause. I can tell she's getting a bit shaken up as she dabs her eyes and sniffles. She takes a sip from her coffee and slowly reads her paper in front of her. Hmm... She seems to be stalling. "My deepest condolences go out to every family out there looking for their missing children. I find it very peculiar that three teenagers from three other different states have gone missing in the span of three days. I don't know if that's a coincidence, but it seems to be causing an outbreak of riots all over America. Now I've got live footage from a reporter right now in Salt Lake City, Utah, the bigger of the four cities of four states who have gone through these disappearances in the past three days." She reads it like its a riddle. Disgusting.

The screen then turns live, where an older lady with a fake smile is standing in front of what seems like a bonfire. Civilians are in the back chanting and rioting and holding up signs. She finally speaks. "We are currently standing outside of the County building in Salt Lake City, Utah, where at least two hundred, if not more, angry and upset townspeople have gathered to speak their minds about this strange occurrence. I've got a very eager gentleman here to speak with us about this certain riot, now can you look into the camera and tell us about what is going on behind us and why?"

The grey bearded man nods slowly and then takes the microphone out of the reporters hands. "I'll speak for all the rioters." He stops to cough, his dirtied hands and fingerless gloves cover his mouth. He looks into the camera and smiles a toothless grin.. "The aliens are taking our children, and the government is letting it happen."
