High School Terrans

Chapter 22

Across town, Dan arrived sitting in his car parking it behind Morgan's across from a two story office building. The street was completely deserted where there wasn't even a car that had driven by for the last ten minutes. He thought back having still seen all of the anti Terran protesters rallying across the street from the school.

"I thought they would have quit by now," he said.

"Nope, they are still in full force," Nicholas replied. "The only way to stop them is fight fire with fire."

"You feel like you are interested, Dan?" Morgan asked.

Dan took a second look across the street and took a look back at the other Terran students some with their heads down walking through the front entrance of the school.

"I will do whatever I can to help."

"Good, meet us tonight," Morgan said, nodding. "I will text you the address."

Dan soon received a text message from Morgan about where they were to meet. They all got out of their cars walking towards each other standing looking at their target.

"What is this place?' Dan asked.

"This is one of their headquarters for their group," Morgan answered. "All you have to do is unlock the doors and we can get inside. Once we're in we can find out all the names of anti-Terran sympathizers and flush them out."

"Okay, sounds simple enough."

They all walked over to the door where Dan intently concentrated on the lock hearing a small click.

"Good job," Tyler said, patting him on the back.

They all got inside where Tyler went straight to the nearest computer firing it up.

"It's password protected, figured as much, but that shouldn't be a problem."

Tyler placed his hand on the hard drive as the monitor speed through hundreds of letter combinations until the desktop suddenly appeared. The glow of the computer's monitor was the only light that shined amid the darkness as they stood watching Tyler pull up a file listing the names of the all anti-Terran volunteers who had joined. They quickly turned their heads hearing a creak from the front door opening.

"I could have sworn I locked this," a male voice said.

"What do we do?" Dan whispered quickly.

The man quickly turned flipping on the overhead lights pulling out his handgun from his desk drawer. He was surprised to see it was nothing more than a group of teenagers fiddling around in front of a computer.

"What are you kids doing in here?" he said, approaching them. "This building is private property and right now you are trespassing."

The man glanced at the computer seeing the whole list of names looking back at Tyler.

"What in the world? That computer is supposed to be password protected."

"Wasn't nobody supposed to be back here?" Dan asked.

"Guess we were wrong," Nicholas said.

"I'm calling the cops," the man said, picking up his phone.

"Sorry, can't let you do that," Morgan said, stepping forward grinning.

The man looked back and forth at all of them and back at the computer. "You're all Terrans, aren't you?" he said, pointing the gun at them. "Step away from the computer."

"You think you can stop all four of us?"

Morgan jerked his head forward throwing the man on the ground letting his gun fall by his side. The man quickly rose back up seeing Morgan levitating the gun pointing it directly at the man.
