(22)‘Intervention Plan’ (Young adult; adventure/sci-fi) — Peter S.Wall

May 5th 2008 01:27
EPILOGUE (Part One)
Excerpt from letter: 'Uncle Mick' to friend.

When I first received the radio message from Tomas, frankly I thought my nephew had gone mad. Here was a top kid, good at school, better at football, a no nonsense little champion, telling me he was with an alien that had given his dog special powers and there was some sort of intervention-plan going-on to save the Earth from destruction. See what I mean, a fruitcake story.
Anyway, as the tale progressed, the conviction in Tomas’ voice had me listening intently, still doubting, but growing more intrigued, more accepting with each passing minute. His description of the bad alien he called a Borgz, so detailed it sent shivers down my spine. The way he outlined the intervention- plan concocted by a race of good aliens called Daxians. There was no hesitation, no hint of doubt. It was utterly incredible, and at the same time, strangely believable.

Tomas went on to say he was calling me from a spaceship somewhere in space, and he knew all this because of a mind-meld with a Daxian for petes sake! I didn’t know what he was up to, but like I said, he’s a good kid, so I said I’d cover for him by telling his parents he is staying with me. Only now, I’ve just had his mum on the line and she wants him home by the weekend. And that is in three days. About the time, you get this letter! So, sorry, darling, we may have to put the weekend on hold. I don’t know what young Tomas is up to, but it sure ain’t hanging out with aliens. I just hope he comes clean in time so we can sort it out.
