Chapter Seventeen

The pilots bring the plane down to a safe landing in the middle of a grassy field. In the distance, I manage to make out the city with a spaceship hovering over it.

“Maryland is that way,” one of the pilot points, towards the city, right were the spaceship is. Great.

“Spaceship at NASA Maryland?” the pilot repeats what I said earlier.

“Yeah.”

“Now what?” Tilley asks.

“Don’t worry, my sister always figures it out,” Willow assures her with little success. She smiles proudly at me anyway, which makes my heart melt. At least one of us thinks I’m doing a good job.

I start to lead us towards the city. I’m not 100% sure about it, but it seems like the best option for us. If anything, there’ll be a car I can hotwire for us to use.

Once we get out of the grass, we’re at the edge of a highway. It’s littered with a ton of cars at a standstill. People inside the cars are honking at other cars, and some have abandoned their vehicles to stare up at the spaceship, which is getting bigger the closer we get to it.

A woman getting out of her car catches my attention.

“Excuse me. Miss?”

She turns towards me and I see a baby in the back seat. The baby reminds me of the baby I left with the sick mother in the train station. Maybe I shouldn’t have left the helpless baby with a mom infected with the virus.

I wonder if the baby caught the virus or if it’s already dead. Will this baby also die? I shudder at the thought a baby getting a virus, through damn aliens, sending down an evil bug to wipe us out. Babies which haven’t even had a chance to live. How many more innocent lives are going to be lost?

“What do you want?” the woman asks me in a hurry.

“Is your car working?” I ask.

“The power in the cars stopped working. Nothing is working.” Carefully, she takes the crying baby out of the car and coos at it to calm down. She holds her baby close to her chest and looks at us with caution.

“Mom. How does that bag of dirt work?” It’s worth a shot, even if I sound nuts like her.

Everyone is silent except for my mom who’s smiling. She takes out a small bag of dirt and hands it to the baby’s mother.

“This will help keep your baby healthy,” Mom says. Now that I have a closer look, I see it’s dried herbs and not a bag of dirt. “Cook one teaspoon and mix it with water. If your baby is anything like mine, mix it with chocolate milk. She’ll drink it all up. Each teaspoon lasts six months. But, if you or the baby already have the virus, then there isn’t anything you can do. There is no cure.”

The woman nods. “Thank you.” She then hurries off with her baby into the abyss of people.

Everyone in our group stares at my mom in astonishment. One of the pilots asks, “Does that really work?”

“Of course it does.
