We hid in the cupboards as the knocking grew louder and louder. Then the door was unlocked so we held our breath. Our hearts pounded as we heard the metal boots hit up against the floor. We peered out the small gap to see that we were surrounded by a bunch of police and swat members.

"If you let the girl go peacefully we won't kill you," one shouted. Connie held on to me and I summoned my bubble. There was gunfire aimed at my head and one of them reflected onto one of the soldiers. 

"Listen I don't want to fight you. So, can we just sit down and talk this out," I suggested. We walked over to the injured soldier and I healed his wound.  They looked amazed yet still, they were furious. They grabbed me and they forced handcuffs on to my wrists. Connie ran up to me and she kissed me. We instantly fused and she was furious. The handcuffs broke off our wrists as she glared at the cops. 

"You can easily see that I love him. You will never separate us. Don't even think about hurting him," she yelled. Then the gems barged through the door standing behind us. Bismuth handed us a new sword and we waited for a response.

"You have a choice. You can talk this out with us, or you can fight a battle you will most definitely louse," Garnet snapped.  

"Fine and if we talk you have to agree to not resist arrest," one yelled. 

"Alright, we can talk," We replied.

"You see most of us here have lived for thousands of years trying to protect this planet. There was a big war that could have decided on the future of this planet. If it wasn't for us this planet would have turned into uninhabitable land for any living creature," Garnet explained.

"So you are true aliens. My son wasn't making up tall tales," A voice in the background remarked.
