[QUOTE="jonrog1, post: 175097, member: 189"] [B]RAW RECRUITS PT. 6[/B] The teenagers were sprawled out like sacks of meat. Their limbs were twisted under them, some of their arms broken from being in the wrong position as the kids fell. They'd dropped in mid-stride, mid-breath. Some still clutched plastic beer cups. "Is Jerry here?" asked Jo. "Did Rammock beat us here?" The Agents moved forward slowly. Their breath fogged in the cool air. The only sound was the low rumble of their idling van. Stephen reached down to check one of the kids. "What did this?" "Nerve gas?" guessed Ross. "And you said she had psychic powers --" "I've got a pulse!" Johanna yelled. She gripped the throat of one of the cheerleaders. "Low and slow, like she's --" "Sleeping. They all are." Stephen moved from victim to victim. "Something knocked them all out simultaneously." "That's actually weirder than if they were dead." Andy and Ross circled the vacation house. The back lot stretched down to a small dock. A fishing boat thumped quietly against the pilings. The lake spread out beyond them, pitch black. It was strange -- they were maybe half an hour from the highway, but forests have a way of quickly swallowing you. A RUSTLE came from the road. Andy and Ross ran back just in time to see another car pull up. The Agents palmed their guns. Jerry's friend, Nick, stepped out from his car shouldering a case of beer. He stared at the Agents ... at his friends ... at the Agents. Nick wasn't exactly a rocket scientist at the best of times. "What happened?" He jerked as some of the teens stirred. One cried out in pain, discovering her broken ankle. "Man, first Jerry wrecks his car, now this --" "What did you say?" yelled Jo. Nick jerked his head toward the dark road. "Yeah, Jerry's car is smashed against the fencepost a couple houses down. Figured he walked over ..." Andy and Ross took off at a run for the woods. "Each of these houses has a backlot onto the lake, we'll cut across!" "We'll drive, cover the front!" Jo and Stephen raced away in the van, spraying Nick with gravel. Ross and Andy dodged through the trees, branches slamming at them. Ross looked up, did a double-take. "You see the --" "Yeah, keep running!" Andy hissed back. Jo and Stephen spotted Jerry's wrecked car against the stone fence of another vacaton house. They killed the lights and costed to a silent stop. Pulling their weapons they raced for the open front door. Leading with their guns, Jo and Stephen performed a perfect split-wedge entry. The house was empty for the season. A white light FLASHED from somewhere beyond the back door. As they sprinted through the dining room, Stephen spotted an odd device on the table. It was some sort of digital readout with symbols intead of numbers. It had an antenna. And the lights on it were flashing green-white-green-white ... ... GREEN-WHITE-GREEN-WHITE ... Andy and Ross shielded their eyes as they broke from the treeline. The lights were strobing, blinding. It was to be expected. After all, it was a pretty big UFO. [/QUOTE]
