CHAPTER 60

AS SOON AS Bishop hangs up the phone, he begins to have second thoughts about telling Danvers their whereabouts. Saunders tries to comfort him.

“You did the right thing, Ken. We have to trust someone. Who better than someone you’ve known for years?” Saunders says.

“Yeah, I hope so.” Bishop says. “I still want to let Justice know where we are.”

“Are you sure? You just met him.”

“Yeah, I’m sure.”

“How can you be so sure?” Saunders asks.

“I just know, okay?” Bishop says as he hits the speed dial.

After two rings, Justice answers.

“Bishop,” he says anxiously.

“Hey, partner,” Bishop says.

“Hey my ass, partner. Where the hell have you been? I’ve been waiting all night for you to call.”

“We’ve been...busy.”

“Too busy to call your partner?” Justice asks.

“Listen, Justice. Me and Dr. Saunders are in big trouble. We stumbled onto something big; something that has to do with Kevin Phipps. They tried to kill us tonight. They killed Sergeant Kuntz and framed us for it. We need your help.”

“Yeah, I know all of that, Ken. They’re blaming you for the agent’s death as well. There’s an APB out for you all over the country. Where are you?” Justice asks.

Bishop hesitates. That hesitation is not lost on Justice.

“Look, partner, you can’t go at this alone. You and the doctor will be dead by the end of the day. You have to trust me. Tell me where you are, and we’ll figure this thing out.”

“We’re in a motel off the interstate. The Palace Motel. Captain Danvers is on his way also. “

“No offense, but are you sure you can trust him?” Justice asks.

Bishop is offended by the question. Justice hasn’t been in the department two days, and he’s asking if a twenty-year veteran of the police force is trustworthy?

“I’m not sure who to trust. I’m not even sure if I can trust you,” says Bishop. He remembers what the agent told him in that dark alley, that one of the aliens was close to him. Only way to find out who’s who is to flush him out and make him talk.

“I understand. Just sit tight. I’ll be there as soon as I can.” Justice hangs up the phone, grabs his gun, and jacket and he’s out the door.

Bishop hangs up and hopes he hasn’t just sold themselves out. There is more at stake than his survival. He has to think about Saunders’ safety as well. He also has to consider the possibility that what the agent told him in the alley is true. If it is, the whole world is in trouble.

As fantastic as it sounds, Bishop is beginning to believe that it’s actually true. His only options are to either keep running or get some answers. It’s a gamble that he doesn’t share with Saunders, but he believes that Justice is the someone that the agent was talking about.

“Aliens,” Bishop says in disbelief.

“Yeah, aliens, Detective. You still think I’m crazy?” Saunders says. “How long has this...war between them been going on? Why do they want our planet?” Saunders asks rhetorically.
