It took almost two hours by foot to reach the abandoned school. Nathan, Lara, three female carers and two hundred children, give or take. 4am. The gang leaders got the kids bedded down quickly and soon they were all asleep, in the school’s assembly area on the upper floor. The three carers and Lara headed out to look for provisions and transport, leaving Nathan alone with the kids. He wandered around the Principal’s office until he found what he’d been looking for: a bottle of Scotch. He poured himself two fingers and sat down heavily. He silently toasted Raphaela, Coles, and Akhbal.

Struggling to keep his eyes open, he recalled what Raphaela had said about using anger to stay awake. He began mentally listing all the reasons he’d hated kids. All said reasons rang hollow now.

What an ass he’d been all these years.

At one point he heard a noise in the big room next door and found Sally half uncovered, and draped the blanket back over her, then went back to the office, keeping the door slightly ajar.

That was when it struck him. When Akhbal had said that the alien children would arrive tomorrow, it had been after midnight, but maybe Akhbal didn’t know what time it was. So, did he mean tomorrow, or daybreak? A single thought chimed in his head like a warning bell.

Are the alien children coming today?
