THE ALIEN HUNTERS TURNED out to be a trio of men — maybe teenagers, they looked young enough — wearing expensive boots, cargo pants and heavy flannel shirts. One of them had long hair; the other two boasted enough product to make eighties mousse fans jealous.
“This is Morgan Johnson, Ryan Blake and Jace Penfield.” Dad’s smile was tight as he made introductions around the dining room table. “Gentlemen, these are our daughters Bay, Clove and Thistle.”
The men, who were definitely younger than us, brightened considerably as they sat at the table.
“It’s nice to make your acquaintance.” Jace sat next to me and extended his hand. “We had no idea that the Dragonfly boasted such lovely accessories.”
The statement was odd ... in more ways than one. “Thank you.” I briefly shook Jace’s hand before Aunt Tillie barreled between us and took the chair Jace was selecting.
“I’m Tillie Winchester,” she announced, grabbing a sandwich from the middle of the table. “I’ll be leading the group today.”
I watched as Jace curiously eyed Aunt Tillie. “I’m sorry, but ... what?”
“I’ll be leading the group,” Aunt Tillie repeated as she kicked my calf under the table. “I can’t reach the au jus sauce. I need some.”
I could’ve told her to figure a way to get the dipping sauce herself, but that seemed like a recipe for disaster. “Hold on.” I leaned over and ladled some of the brown juice into a small bowl. “Is that enough?”
“For now.” Aunt Tillie immediately dipped her sandwich into the juice before continuing. “I think we should eat and then get going. We’re going to lose the light if we’re not careful. It’s spring, but Daylight Savings doesn’t arrive until next weekend, so it still gets dark early.”
I had to give him credit. Jace was obviously confused by Aunt Tillie’s bossy nature, but he didn’t react out of anger or annoyance. “You want to go with us while we conduct our initial search?” he asked finally.
“No, I want to take you with us while we conduct our third search,” Aunt Tillie corrected. “We’re ahead of you on this one. You should be happy to have our expertise.”
“Um ... .” Jace looked to me for help.
“We saw your blog thing on the internet,” I explained, hoping to steer the conversation to a safer topic. “You wrote that you were staying at the Dragonfly. That was convenient because our fathers own it. We’ve been investigating the scene of the crash a bit, too.”
“It’s my understanding that the FBI is keeping the site closed off,” Morgan interjected. He wore wire-rimmed glasses that made him look smart, which seemed to be exactly what he was going for. “We were told we wouldn’t be able to get close to the site.”
“It’s not easy,” I agreed, “but it’s not impossible. They’ve been conducting grid searches day and night. We can’t get to the exact spot. We can get close enough to hide in the woods and watch them.”
“Really?” Morgan was understandably intrigued. “You’ve made it out there to spy?”
I nodded.
