Zack went about searching for any trouble, making sure no one got hurt or him, he recorded this time through the helmet cam, it was very vital. He didn't want any misunderstandings to ensue, especially after Petra or Chazzon. He spotted a lady struggling with a man in black. She held on to the end of the purse. "Help! This man's stealing my purse!" The lady shouted raising the alarm.The man was physically stronger.A girl screamed in the background. "Thief!""Jesus, let go, woman!" He seemed terrorized that people would catch him. Zack noticed the man's eyes flying both ways to the crowd, to the girl, he turned pale. He softened succumbing on his own and at the knight coming. He couldn't seem to leave the lady.Zack rushed towards them and he pushed the man into a bench. "Oof!" He handed the purse to the lady who smiled. "Thanks, pal, you're a real one." She said running away."Don't worry folks, your saviour has arrived!" "My purse!" The girl shouted. "Dad! The bad man let
Gwen returned from her trip to Morphius. She was eager to see Zack and she called Amir. She had something important to discuss with him. "Jamila, I don't know where he is." Amir said surprised that she spoke to him. Usually she was accustomed to speaking with Mort and Zack. "I would be happy to find him for you.""That's very kind of you." Her parents had followed her to Terra and they were eager to explore earth for themselves.Her father disapproved. "This place is archaic.""Why did you change your name? Have you forgotten your roots?" "It's a terrible name.""So what?" Her mother covered her mouth. Gwen smiled at them. "I'm so glad that you've come to Earth.""Are there any patrol bots. Flying cars? Why is the vegetation so scanty?" Her mother said anxiously. Trying to touch a marigold."The aliens look just like us.""Astonishing." He pushed up his glasses at the people staring at them.Gwen felt very proud. "You'll have to fit in around here.""My robe looks perfectly fine."
"Don't call me, Sergeant.""Aren't you a sergeant?" He said upclose."It sounds uncomfortable coming from you.""What do I call you then?""Nothing." She whispered. Zack groaned in long-suffering knowing that she was being serious. She was boggling him down with all this overthinking."What's wrong?""We're having dinner. Tonight."They sat back and Arwatt her father and Mayne gazed at their plate of food."I made them especially for you."Mayne lifted a piece of bacon repugnantly. "What is this?"Arwatt dug into his dinner without thinking twice. "I suppose I can eat after all that walking.""There's more where that came from. I overcooked.""I am not complaining." Arwatt said."This is where you live?" Mayne said. She winced at a cockroach scaling up the wall, her skin crawled and Seymour lunged to grab it. The paint chipped off."An organic pest control service. I like it." Arwatt said.Zack promised not to be negligent with Seymour so he gave him a piece of bacon and brushed his f
Zack brushed Seymour's fur. He fumed at Mayne's attitude. He wasn't bothered but he wondered why Gwen would lie to her parents about the message.He lowered the cannister with the creature in it into a box. He wanted to speak to her face-to-face.She was online. "Babe..." He deleted that and typed hi instead."I saw the news. This is terrible. Why would anyone do such a thing?" She jumped into the core of the topic."That's not important right now. ""Really?"He typed. "You promised you would communicate." "Communicate what?""You know talk to me. About anything. Is it really worth putting a bar between us? Did I hurt you?"Gwen glanced at her father sleeping in. "No."He exhaled. "Then why did you lie about that nuptial pact?""I did not lie.""You didn't? Then why weren't you interested?" "I was...""Why not?" He dropped the laptop torn to pieces. Zack watched her entering the apartment. He was enchanted by her statuette body. Her dark hair flowed down her shoulders."What are y
"You cannot believe the magic that this machine makes." Arwatt arrived with the device and a bag."What is it?""Nothing dad." Gwen said defensively. Arwatt blinked. "I mean, how does this thing operate?" Gwen glanced at him in surprise and put the bread in the toaster.He clapped when the bread popped out. "What is this?""It's called toast."He looked concerned for her, she folded her arms. "Is anything wrong?"She sighed. "You don't seem too excited.""I was, I think your attitude change comes as quite a shock to the both of us. So we needed to see for ourselves what happened. We want what's best for you. And that is what you want."She pursed her lips. "I don't want to get married. Mother thinks I don't know any better. I'm afraid she's telling the truth.""I'm very confused. Do you want to get married or do you not want to?"She admired her father for his adaptability. Nothing came as quite a shock to him as it did to mother. "I'm afraid I've disappointed her. I'm ready to giv
He had to do this without Gwen's knowledge even though he just told her that they had to work together as a team. He was going against what he stood for to save the others. He wondered how Mort would feel about delivering the Dr. Into Plagg's hands as well. It was for the greater good. He recalled that Dr Raleigh said the Plague was out to kill him. "He was right." Zack shuddered. "Okay, you've done this before." His eyes were glassy and he swallowed hard trying to navigate. Ash reproduced many of his files. Tom Raleigh was a biologist, besides that there was nothing much on him. Except his Tax ID.He stopped at his house on a hill.Dr Raleigh winced at the Knight."Dr.""Knight...you came.""I have a sample I'd like to show you."He shuddered at the creatures."Can you find something about this? I have only 7 days to figure out its weakness. I want to kill it. It appears that the Xenobyte possesses a unimind. This being is intelligent. It think it's a legion or som_""You're after
Mayne moved about the mobile home. She glanced at a picture of Zack with his arms around Zed's shoulders. She wondered where Gwen was.Mort arrived at Gwen's place. "Gwen?"Mayne sat up. "Who are you?" She erratically. "Do not come into our home. Where is the Guard Dog for goodness sake?""I'm a friend of hers." He said and the rosiness in her face vanished."He speaks our language. What shall we do?""Who are you two?" Mort said losing his usual demeanor. His garrote lowered."We're Oogie's parents." She said."Really? Cool.""You're human?""Yes." "Good, I'd like to understand how this works." He held up a toilet plunger."Arwatt. He's a stranger.""We'll save that for later. I need to ask where she is, it's really important and Zack's missing.""We haven't seen him in about a week.""Something must be wrong." Mort said. "I'll go look for her.""We're coming with you." Arwatt said.They sat uncomfortably in the ship."Are you sure you know how to operate this?""I've had practice."
Zack's pupil's dilated, he looked up surprised to see the others. The Xenobytes fell off from their heads. Wilting like flowers. They gazed around surprised like lost puppies trying to find their way."Where's Raleigh?" He said frowning and he caught the Doctor bleeding at the hall. The trail of blood suggested that he had dragged himself all the way to the elevator. He was pale and blood oozed down his nostrils.Zack glared at him. "Please don't kill me.""I know the place, just for scumbags like you." He said."No, no, my career, my reputation will be ruined." He took him away and Gwen smiled."Newsflash. Nobody cares about us." They swooped up and Gwen waved.She arrived to the others and the men's jaw dropped. She realised she could control anyone she wanted. "Now that we're done here, we can all go home." She ignored a hand before she went up into a ship. ...The news came on about strange shrivelled creatures all over the town. The crowd were divided if the alien conspir
