| They boy and the girl get in the car
|
| And the girl directs them to a large
|
| Secure complex on the edge of town
|
| The boy had always assumed it was a
|
| Military facility, but the girl insists that
|
| This is where they’re holding her grandfather
|
| So they sneak in, using their powers to leap
|
| The fortified walls and to disable the dark-suited
|
| Guards they encounter. |
| By moving quickly and
|
| Striking without warning, they are able to keep
|
| Things quiet as they penetrate further and further
|
| In the facility
|
| They boy begins to wonder what exactly this place is
|
| From the outside it seemed like a normal building, but
|
| As they go deeper, the walls seem to be lined with
|
| Alien technology, more advanced than anything he
|
| Has ever seen. |
| He tries to ask the girl about it, but
|
| She gestures him to silence and they continue onward
|
| The girl leads they way as they descend several floors
|
| Underground. |
| The boy cannot believe how far down
|
| The structure goes, yet level after level they keep
|
| Descending until eventually they reach a floor that is
|
| Clearly a high-tech prison of some kind
|
| With increasing speed, the girl moves from cell to cell until
|
| At last, she discovers the on that contains her grandfather
|
| The old man looks haggard, beaten and near-death, but at
|
| The sight of his granddaughter his eyes light up, and the two
|
| Of them have a quiet, joyous reunion
|
| Then, his face darkens as he notices the boy. |
| In a tense voice
|
| He informs the girl that there will be strong consequences for
|
| Her actions, and that she can’t even begin to comprehend the
|
| Depth of what she has done
|
| Of course, first, they have to escape
|
| Together the boy and the girl are able to use their powers
|
| To force the cell door open. |
| But the instant the door swings
|
| Wide, red lights begin to flash all around and sirens blare
|
| From every direction |
