There was a noise of squealing tires filled the air.
She was not going to hyperventilate! She would remain in control!
Maggie stopped looking out the windscreen and shut her eyes.
No, she was okay.
What was a military helicopter flying into Crossville for? There had to be a rational explanation.
Instead she turned to look at Mars.
He stared at the fading spectre entranced probably caught up in a memory or something.
She realised the hand brake and eased her foot off the gas pedal. The car lurched forward but she managed to avoid the ditch as she headed home again. About a mile down the road she took a left and bypassed the road that would have taken them back to the road where she had found the three men.
The Military showed up in the movies every time Aliens appeared in the movies. The movies couldn't be completely wrong- right? I mean this could actually be the beginning of an Alien Invasion! She could be aiding and abetting the enemy who would end up impregnating her and then she would...
Mars stared at her with one eyebrow slightly raised and she clamped her mouth shut and put a hand over it.
He was so calm it was scary.
She pointed out the windscreen and tried to say something but nothing came out save for a squeak.
Mars leaned towards her and came so close that he could have kissed her. For a moment, she was sure he was going to. Instead, he breathed soft humid air into her face and said.
"Why do you keep acting so irrationally?"
She just stared at him and then she pushed her face against his and kissed him.
Time seemed to stop and then Mars said something into her mouth. She froze.
The moment passed.
She sat back, he had tasted good for the moment they had almost kissed.
When had she stopped the car? Maggie looked around looked around. She was driving on automatic. They were stopped at the farmed gate.
She held up her hands, then after a moment put the car in park and got out of the car and opened the gate.
She climbed back in and drove down to her trailer.
Some things seemed to be okay, at least, the same.
Well the same crappy trailer, same junk that a previous boyfriend had abandoned in her yard.
She was out of the car and marching to the door before she remembered that she had an alien in the car.
She turned to find him standing a few feet behind her.
She shook her head, she needed a shower, a drink and some sleep in her own bed.
As she thought this a warm memory creeped into her head of mars holding her while she slept.
Dammit Maggie. Get a Grip!
She should have known that something was wrong when her front door just open when she touched it.
But she was too busy to look for the guy coming for her from the darkened interior until it was too late.
