Chapter Six

Lying on a medical bed, Shannon tried to focus on the seven faces around her. Her four guys, her sister, and even Hastings were there. The other woman was the doctor Shannon had grown to know all too well during her tests, Liz.

Everyone was talking at once. It made Shannon long for earplugs. Clearly, her sister and her father weren’t the types to be quiet when they had something to share. Her adopted parents were so calm and laid back that Shannon felt like a stranger with her more verbal, real family. She preferred the no-conflict feeling, but the arguing didn’t bother her as much anymore. Maybe her birth mother had been calm, too? She wished she’d have gotten a chance to meet her.

“Shut up! She’s awake!” Liz said. “Shannon, do you remember anything?”

Shannon nodded. “My head hurts. That beam was cold.”

“The beam released you suddenly so you fell about three feet. That strained your head and neck a little. It’s a mild form of whiplash plus a few bumps and bruises. We’ll give you something for the pain.” Liz pressed a needle to Shannon’s skin. “Your epidermis seems to be fine. No frostbite or anything. Let’s get a warming blanket in here.”

A technician covered Shannon with a heated blanket that made her want to fall right asleep. “Thank you!”

“Did they drain your energy?” Bonnie asked.

“No, I don’t think so. It was weird.”

“They often use mind tricks. Did you feel as if you were on the ship or with anyone you knew?” Liz asked.

“No, I knew where I was all the time. I don’t know what they were trying to do, but they weren’t pulling me in fast.” Shannon sat up slowly as the pain medication took effect.

“Did they demand information?” Hastings asked.

“They wanted us all. They wanted more of us. They repeated something like that.” Shannon shrugged. “It didn’t make any sense. They didn’t take me or grab anyone else in a beam.”

“Do you think they mean all the hybrids? They’re not getting my baby.” Liz shook her head.

“Wow, how many hybrid children are there?” Shannon asked.

“Not that many, but I’m not sure what the Keelons meant. Did they attack anywhere else on Earth? Other bases?” Bonnie asked Hastings.

“Hang on.” Hastings got on his phone for a report.

“They kept talking like they were helping us, doing us a favor. Once they got what they wanted, they’d be done. Maybe, that’s just how it sounded in my head, but they weren’t threatening.” Shannon rested her head on Curtis’ shoulder.

“Probably to keep you calm and see if they could get any information out of you,” Liz offered.

Just then Liz’s phone went crazy. “Six patients coming in?”

“Yes, apparently, they dumped over a dozen abductees into another open area before they buzzed the buildings. Some are fine, but all need to be checked out. Six seem to need treatment.” Hastings shook his head. “Why return humans?”

“To get us to give up what they want without a fight?” Bonnie shook her head. “Maybe, whatever they wanted didn’t work? We’re not worth it?”

Curtis shook his head.
