The device that saved me on the street kept my Jeep at the studio. I called a cab and the driver dropped me off in front of the deli.

Like before, I got ‘ahead of the line’ service. I thought the drive give me enough time to adjust to the situation. I don’t know if it did but my heart still pounded as I sat at the table. It only increased when I saw him slowly approach.

Despite my understanding of his true nature, I couldn’t help but admire whatever it was that stood before me. If this was one of those science-fiction movies, he might be a tiny alien with a body suit or maybe a lifelike robot. I shook my head. No, that’s not it. My intuition wasn’t good lately, but I knew that was him – whatever he was.

Later, I could ask him why he looks so human. For now, my body couldn’t help but respond to eons of evolutionary instinct. He was a good-looking piece of eye candy no matter where he came from. Those thick biceps and cut chest, were attractive on our planet for sure. I wondered if that was the same on his.

He sat down, and I stared up into his deep blue eyes – for the first time. I’ve seen them before but this is the first time they were real.

Kudos, you out acted the actress.

They weren’t the eyes of an admitted usual fanboy, a potential stalker, or even a producer. For the first time, I saw him.

I didn’t have a name for his accent but it still rang out when he spoke. That crisp yet almost music tone made me breathe in deep. “I apologize.” His lips pressed together hard until it was a fine line.

“Did Ally tell you to say that?”

He shook his head. “No. She doesn’t believe I should trust you.”

“What about trusting you?” I said. Is ‘Carl’ even your name?”

He tilted his head. “It’s close to my name. You’d spell it K-A-H-R-E-L.”

I thought about everything that happened and still couldn’t say he lied to me – although he walked the edge damn close. Honestly, if I was in their position, I’m not sure I would extend the same courtesy. Yes, I was mad. So much, I couldn’t understand my feelings.

His story was true. I could feel it now and understand the secrecy. It didn’t mean I had to like it. I lowered my voice just in case of eavesdroppers. Humanity’s wondered about life on other planets. My own industry painted them with every brush. There were benevolent invaders with chrome robots, space Nazis, to even cute ones with long glowing fingers that loved candy.

I’m sure there were questions about science, the nature of the universe, religious thoughts, or even the name of their planet. I almost embarrassed myself with my question, but asked anyway.

“So you traveled all this way and my show’s part of your mission?”

Nothing against my talent but really? That’s what I’m asking?

He nodded. “Overall the answer is yes.
