::5::

The following week was when things started to get weird. That was the beginning of my life going upside down. I thought it was just a bad day, but I was horribly wrong.

A week had gone by since we had attempted to find the robots in the desert. I almost forgot about it all and decided it wasn't real. One day I was walking down the hall with a few files. The school was quiet for once as the kids were in class. I sighed forcefully and heard a scream.

What in the world?

More screams and some weird contraption burst through the door of a class room. I screamed and pressed myself against the wall as it tore down the hallway towards me.

"What is that thing?!" I screamed as I tried to avoid it. "It's a chainsaw on wheels!" I yelled frantically and ran for it. Jackson Darby ran after it.

"Sorry Miss Jenkins!" He yelled as he tried to stop the contraption without getting hurt.

"What maniac build this?!" I screamed and kept running as it followed and tore things up.

"Uh... a friend of mine helped." Jack muttered nervously.

After a few minutes they finally got it to stop without hurting anyone. I sighed forcefully as I went back to the hall and picked up my files. A moment later there was a thunderous boom and the school shook. I screamed again and fell over. The same class room. I got up and stared into the classroom as my eyes widened.

A giant metal volcano was blowing a hole in the roof. Raf looked at his teacher nervously. He built that thing? When it stopped I slowly went back to my office and locked the door. I flopped on the couch and stared at the ceiling blankly. I can't believe how violent and destructive science fairs are now.

"It's just another weird day in Jasper Nevada." I mumbled as I rubbed my face.

If only...

As the next week went by I finally noticed something. I had been too busy before hand to see it. As I looked out the window I saw the yellow sports car, blue motorcycle and green SUV.

"No... way..." I breathed and pulled out my phone. I looked through the pictures and saw they might be the same. So I took pictures of them.

Over the next week I just watched them intently. The vehicles picked up the kids and took them somewhere. But something bothered me, besides the suspicion, where were the drivers? I watched for them that week but didn't see a single one.

The next week I had had it and waited for them to show up. I watched and knew the kids were still in class. After a small debate with myself, I went outside and stared at the cars. Curiosity got the better of me and walked over to them. I looked at the grill of the green one and furrowed my brow. Where were the company logos?

I walked around each car as I inspected them thoroughly. When I did find the logo, I just stared at it blankly then took a few pictures. I didn't recognize it and went inside to Google the image. It looked like a face of some kind.

Since I didn't have an appointment at the moment, I searched the image and anything connected to it. I wasn't sure what I was even looking for. After using the rest of the day searching, I found absolutely nothing. I decided to ask Don about it when I got home.

After showing him he tried looking it up as well, but had the same problem I did. He sighed forcefully and abandoned it then went to show me a picture of one he recently found. Or tried to show me.

"What? It was hear just a few minutes ago." He said and glared at the screen. "This keeps happening... every time I find a picture of these robots, someone takes it off and replaces it with..." he clicked on it and frowned.

"A dancing monkey...." he mumbled and I covered my mouth to keep from laughing.

"Why not just save them super fast and then print them out?" Ellie asked as she looked at him. "No one can take it then." She said seriously.

"Good idea." He said as he smiled and started searching and saving the pictures to his flash drive. I decided that wasn't a bad idea and looked at my phone.

"Besides who's gonna stop us? The giant alien robots?" He scoffed quietly and left to get them printed.

I suddenly had a bad feel and tried to stop him, but he quickly left with Ellie. I quietly went to my office and downloaded the pictures onto my computer.

After a few minutes I printed them out and looked at them. The pictures I took that day and earlier. I got a folder and organized them by the vehicles. If they were part of the government like he had claimed, they would fine out.

Especially if he went to a public place to print them. When he got back I explained my concerns.

"Pssht! That theory is dead. Why would robots from space be working with the government? They're trying to take over the world." He scoffed and showed me the pictures. I made copies and put them in my file.

I frowned at some of them and noticed someone had taken a picture of something in the sky. But I couldn't make it out clearly. Just an odd shaped black aircraft. I hid the book and gave him the pictures back.

"Keep collecting them." I mumbled. "I want to know what these things are." He nodded and smiled slightly.

"So do I Win." He smirked cockily and continued searching. "If only I could figure out who the annoying hacker was that was taking the pictures off." He muttered bitterly.

"Give him a piece of my mind by sending a nasty virus." He said and chuckled maniacally. I rolled my eyes and went off to my room. After looking over the file I wondered how I could get them to show themselves.

Then again... I don't want to meet them.

I gathered more information and continued to print pictures. Apparently Jasper Nevada wasn't the only place with a threat from these aliens. The purple cars and the flying aircraft were reported being seen in several different places.

Once at school again, I sat at my desk and rubbed my face tiredly. I looked out the window and saw the kids vehicles. I decided to take my lunch break then and went outside. I sat on the wall and watched them as I ate.

What were they? Why were they even here in Nevada? Why not a big city for crying out loud.

I sighed in exasperation and walked over to the yellow car. I glared at it and lightly tapped the bumper with my foot. I waited for a moment then crouched down and stared at it.

"What are you?" I mumbled and hesitantly placed a hand on the hood. "Who drives you anyway?" After a few long minutes, I got up and glared darkly as I folded my arms.

"I know what you are." I growled. "So stop hiding."
