“Don’t hang up,” said a voice that was not Lee Danvers.

“Hello?” asked Martin.

“Stay on the line, Billings,” said the voice, a young man’s. Was this X-Ray, the engineer? “Lee’s going into commercial, but he wants to talk to you.”

A few seconds later, the line clicked over. “Martin?” asked Lee Danvers.

“Hi?” said Martin.

“Sorry to have to cut you off. It’s not that I don’t want to hear your story, but I’ve got to keep the show on topic. Hope you understand. Now, you said you have video of their ships coming and going.”

“Well, coming,” said Martin.

“And you took this video near Brixton, Montana?”

“About seven miles south,” said Martin.

“Are you a professional photographer, videographer, computer graphics specialist, or anything like that?”

“I’m a salesman,” said Martin.

“Good. Have you shown this video to anyone? Put it on YouTube? Anything?” asked Lee.

“No,” said Martin.

“Excellent, don’t. Do you have a pen? I’m going to give you a number. I want you to call it tomorrow. Not tonight. Tomorrow after 9:00 a.m. Eastern time. You’re going to ask for Alicia. She’s one of my producers. If your video’s good, we’ll issue you a contract for exclusive rights. It’ll get put up on wakernation.com, where everyone can see it, and you might get up to five hundred dollars. How does that sound?”

“I don’t care about the video,” said Martin. “I’m trying to tell everyone about the…”

“The invasion. Sure.”

“It’s not an invasion. They’re going to extermin…”

“I appreciate you listening, and I’m sorry, but I don’t have time to be anything but rude. I get about a dozen alien invasion calls a week. Ring the number in the morning and tell your story to Alicia. If it’s worth a segment, we’ll get back to you. I’ve got to get back on the air. Got your pen ready?”
