The Dimensional Rift. by John Kincade
Chapter one - The Discovery -
The NASA Mars rover was scouting out a possible landing site for a man
mission that was going to be landing on the surface in a few days. The
rover had just finished a sweep of a large valley and sent it images back
to NASA Mission Control and was waiting for further orders before moving
on.
As NASA was reviewing the Images that they had received for the Mars
rover one of the programmers noticed something shimmer off in the
distance of one of the images.
"Sir," the programmer said to his supervisor.
"What do you have?" the supervisor asked walking over.
"There is an object off in the distance that should be checked out. It is
highly reflective," the programmer said to the supervisor.
The supervisor looked at the image and asked the programmer to pull it up
on the large screen so he could get a better look at it. The programmer
put the image up on the large screen. As they all looked at the image the
noticed that the object was dark blue in color.
"Let's check it out. Direct the rover to the object so we can get a
better look at it," the supervisor told the programmer.
It took the rover about 45 minutes to get the instructions and make the
journey to the object. Once there it started to take images and send them
back to NASA. As the images started to come in the supervisor wanted them
put up on the big screen for them all to see.
"Dear god it's a Minivan," one of the people in the room said.
As the images kept coming in the crowd saw this blue minivan that looked
as though it had been shot thousands of times from all directions. the
images came in at intervals of about one to two minutes apart.
Suddenly a image came in of one of the windows and in the window was what
could only be a hand. as they all stared at the image looking at the hand
the ground commander walked in.
"What is everyone looking at?" the ground commander asked seeing everyone
in the room standing around. As he looked up at the screen and saw the
images he turned to the supervisor and said "Where are these images
coming from?"
"From the far side of a large valley we are considering for the landing
site of the expeditionary group," the supervisor to the commander.
The commanders mouth dropped as he looked back at the screen. "We need to
contact Commander Nichols and tell him we have something extremely
important for him to look into," as he turned and started walking to his
office. "And get these civilians out of here."
Most of the crew of the Intrepid was just sitting down to eat breakfast
when Jessica Long stepped into the room. "Sir, there is a incoming
messages for you coming in on the priority channel," she said looking at
Commander Nichols.
"Priority ha? They must have lost comm with the rover," the commander
said stepping out to go view the massage.
When he returned nearly forty minutes later he looked around the cabin at
all of the 27 crew members before turning and walking back out. James
Nichols was a man with great leadership abilities for the simple reason
that he could get nearly anyone to do what he wanted. Whoever the one
thing that made him extremely mad was surprises and this one was a big
one.
Jame was ordered to change the entire roster for the six landing pods as
well as the space station groups simply because they think they found a
car on the surface of Mars. As James sat down at his desk to rewrite the
rosters Rebecca Thomas came in.
"Commander what is going on?" Rebecca asked.
"We have been ordered to investigate a family car they found on the
surface," James said with a bit of anger in his voice. "They say they can
see a hand in one of the windows."
"A hand?" Rebecca said with an air of thought to the question. "In a
family car on the surface of Mars. I wonder how the car got here?"
"The same way as us I suppose," James said now thinking about it. "But
why bring a car to Mars? It can't function in the martian atmosphere."
"So what are supposed to do about the car?" Rebecca asked looking back
down at James.
"We will investigate the car as we have been ordered," James said looking
down at the roster. "If we find any bodies we will report them to mission
control and see what they want us to do. The ones to go on this trip will
be you and I of course as well as Doctor Frank Barnes and Bobby Dunn."
"Should I tell them they are coming with us?" Rebecca asked.
"Yes and tell Foster he will be going with Andrews team and tell Michel
he is now with Susan's team," James told Rebecca. "And tell everyone we
need to start descent procedures in five minutes, would you?"
Rebecca said, "Okay," before walking down the hall to find everyone.
After a few minutes James stood and donned his space suit for the
descent. When he reached the command deck of module 1 he saw everyone was
already in their seats doing their preflight. James took his seat and
started his preflight as well.
"Fuel levels?" James said.
"1300 thousand pounds," Rebecca said.
"Fuel valves?" James called out.
"Open," Frank said.
The list went on for another ten minutes until James said "Let's drop
this bitch"
At that James pushed the red button on the uppermost right corner of the
panel to his left. and the ship started to fall towards the surface of
Mars. The descent took the crew about 45 minutes before they were on the
surface.
Once the engines stopped and all flight controls had been shut down James
turned in his seat to look at everyone.
"Good Job everyone," James said starting off. "Now the real hard part
starts. We have been given a special mission to investigate a American
family vehicle found not far from here."
"What type of family vehicle are we talking about?" Bob asked looking at
Frank while trying to hold back laughter.
"If you are talking to me please look at me," James said with a stern
tone in his voice. "Alls I know is that it is a blue minivan that looks
as though it had been in some sort of shootout," James told the crew.
"So why me?" Frank asked making sure to look directly at James.
"Because for some reason NASA thinks there may be some survivors," James
said with frustration in his voice. "Now this pod is only set up with
some medical supplies and two autonomous rovers. We will be taking both
rovers, some medical supplies and all three of the extra pressure suits
we have," James finished.
"Sir," Bob said with a half of a grin and a smirk in his voice. "If this
is a minivan from earth there is no chance that any occupants could have
survived,"
"True," James said his face getting red as he spoke. "But these are our
orders. Now let's get moving," James said trying to keep from losing his
temper.
Once everything was loaded onto the two rovers they set out for the
vehicle. It took the group about 25 minutes to get to the spot where the
vehicle was. As they approached they could see what looked like fresh
skid marks on the ground leading to the vehicle.
"Look at the skids here sir," Frank told James looking at how long the
skids went for.
"It looks as though this car landed or crashed land starting here and
slid all the way over there," Rebecca said tracing the skid with her
hand.
"The distance of the skid looks as though the car slid more than a
thousand feet before stopping where it is at. The depth of the skid was
just a few inches which suggest that the car came flying in on a very
shallow descent," Bob said with a bit more curiosity than with any of his
previous conversations.
"This is why I brought you along Bob," James said looking at Bob with
admiration. "Let's keep going we still have a little ways to walk," James
said starting to walk on.
The group soon arrived at the minivan and started to look around. Bob at
the back of the car looked as though he had seen a ghost and could be
heard either gasping for air or trying to say something. So Frank walked
to where he stood and turned to see what Bob was looking at.
"James I think you need to see this," Frank said looking at the back of
the car.
as James and Rebecca walked around they could see the vehicle emblem
reading 'Windstar' on the driver side of the rear lid. They all looked
towards the middle of the car where the 'Ford' oval should be and sall a
hole about half the size of the emblem almost perfectly centered in the
badge.
"Let's find a way in," James said with concern in his voice.
Rebecca walked to the passenger side and tried to open the big sliding
door but it appeared to be looked. However as she turned to try the front
door there was none. Bob had made his way to the front of the while James
and Frank were on the right side.
"I think I found a way in," Bob said looking at the front of the car.
"What make you think you can get into the car from up there?" Rebecca
said turning to scold Bob for even mentioning it.
"In case you have not noticed this is not your ordinary run of the mill
family minivan. Now is it?" Bob said with anger in his voice.
"Ok now you two. Calm down now," James said as he came around to the
front of the car and looked down. "It might be worth a try don't you
think?" James said looking at Rebecca.
As James looked over the front of the car he could see an opening between
what would be the hood and the body. But here the differences to a normal
car were extremely obvious. Where a Normal car would have a grill with a
radiator behind it the hood on this car came all the way down to meet the
bumper which had a step bolted to the front of it.
"Rebecca bring one of the rovers around so we can try the wench," James
said staring at the gap between the hood and the body.
Rebecca brought the rover around that had a wench and put right in front
of the car. As she did James grabbed the cable and hooked it on the hood.
"Now pull up," James said not daring to take his eyes of the car.
As the wench pulled you could hear the metal creak and groan under the
force of the wench. As James was about to give up the hood finally popped
open. Rebecca pulled the rover away from the front of the car so they
could get a look inside.
The group gathered around and peered in. What they saw was beyond any of
their beliefs. The space under the hood was massive. A room that from
that looks like it was at least thirty feet deep and at least sixty feet
across.I the middle of the room was a large tank and what looked like a
large electric motor that looked like had cracked when something hit it
on one side. James was the first to file through the opening followed by
Rebecca, Frank and then Bob.
"I read something about this before we left Earth," Rebecca said as she
looked all around. "I think it was called a Dimensional Rift. A of space
within space. In theory the amount of space inside the rift could be
exponentially greater than the space without," Rebecca said as she
recalled the article.
"Well that explains it now doesn't it," Bob said with sarcasm in his
voice. "This place is amazing and it should not exist."
"Look around for a door to get into other parts of the ship," James said
starting to walk to the back of the room.
"Over here," Frank called out a few moments later.
As the others gathered to look at the door they found they were looking
at two doors rather than one. Both doors were painted the same color as
the rest of the room in its matte black finish. But rather than a door
knob and hinges there was nothing.
"How do we open it?" Rebecca asked looking at the door in amazement.
"With this," Bob said walking past the rest of them with a crowbar in his
hand.
As Bob tried to pry the door open the rest of them heard the sound of air
rushing out of the room beyond. James started to tell Bob to stop when
the door finally opened up. James walked through and started to look
around. As he looked he saw the room was slightly smaller than the last
but had many corridors leading off all in the same direction. James
suddenly stopped looking back at the group with his mouth wide open.
"What is it?" Rebecca asked as she made her way into the room. She turned
to look back and simply said, "Oh my God,"
"What?" Bob and Frank asked in unison.
"There is no second door here," Rebecca said looking at the empty spot on
the wall where the other door should be.
"Actually the other door is on the opposite side of the of the large
screen in front of you," James said looking across Rebecca. "Why don't
you go get the medical stuff and then search the other room," James told
Frank and Bob.
After Frank and Bob left James turned to Rebecca and said, "Shall we look
around?" Rebecca looked back at James and nodded. Soon they were off
walking down the first corridor.
"The damage in this area does not seem to made it in as deep," James said
as they walked.
There were no doors on either side of the long corridor they walked down.
When they reached the end there was nothing to do but turn back After
trying 2 more corridors with the same results James was ready to call it
quits. Whoever Rebecca convinced James to try just one more corridor.
About halfway down the corridor they found a crossing. Rebecca was
standing at the intersection while James explored a little ways into the
side corridor that when in the direction of the other corridors. Suddenly
James heard Rebecca scream and started running back to where she was.
"What happened?" James asked once he arrived.
"Something moved down there," Rebecca said while pointing down to the end
of the corridor.
James walk down to the end of the corridor but instead of ending like all
the others it had corridors going off in either direction. James looked
both ways for any sign of what Rebecca saw but to no avail. When James
turned to look at Rebecca to let her know there was nothing there. He saw
something standing behind her.
Rebecca saw the look of horror on James's face as he looked at her. So
she turned to see what had him frozen in place, and there it was. A
purple skinned creature with 12 inch horns that came out of the side of
its head that turned sharply upward the creature also has cat like ears
on its head long purple hair and a tail that was as long as her body was
tall and eyes that looked as though they were made from fire She was
wearing a black hoster top that stopped just under her breast and a black
mini skirt..
Rebecca took one step back as her eyes rolled upward into her head and
fell back. The creature reach out and caught her before she hit the
ground. The creature looked into the mask of Rebecca with a look of
longing on it face.
"What are you?" James asked the creature as it set Rebecca down and stood
up.
"My name is Rose and unlike you I do not know what I am," the creature
stated with a extremely enchanting voice put her squarely in the female
category. "I have three friends that need help in the next room. They can
not breath the atmosphere like I can," she told James.
"Where did you come from?" James asked as he started to walk towards the
creature named Rose now seeing for the first time she truly had all the
features of a human female.
"That is not important right now. My friends won't make it another hour
without oxygen and space suits," she said the panic welling up within
her.
"My crew should be back by now with all of that," James said looking into
the eyes of Rose thinking they had to be the most enchanting eyes he had
ever seen.
"Have them bring all the stuff into this chamber so I can close off the
outer chamber so we can get into the chamber my friends are in please,"
Rose said now with tears well up in her eyes.
James stood there looking at Rose with the emissions in her eyes. After a
second or two he raised his arm and called out, "Frank can you hear me?"
"Yes I can," Frank said. "What's up?"
"I need you to bring the pressure suits and medical supplies into the
next room. I have three survivors that need help," James told Frank.
"Right away boss," Frank replied.
"Thank you," Rose said before bending down to pick up Rebecca to carry
her back to the front of opening of the corridor.
As James and Rose stepped out of the corridor Frank and Bob had just
finished bringing all of the stuff in.
"Frank, Bob This is Rose," James said introducing Rose to the crew.
"Holy Shit!" Bob screamed as he stumbled backwards over one of the
pressure suits he had just sat down on the floor. "What the hell is
that?" He asked looking at Rose with his eyes looking as though they were
about to pop out of his head.
"I am Rose. The creator of this ship," Rose said looking down on Bob.
"Now we need to get to work to help my friends," she said stepping over
Bob to walk to the door they had just come through.
"More like you?" Frank asked looking puzzled.
"No. Human like you," Rose replied. "They are in the next room waiting
for me to return."
"Are any of them hurt?" Rebecca asked stepping out of the corridor.
"Minor injuries. The main problem is the lack of oxygen in the room it is
thing out quickly," Rose said looking around to all of them. "I will
explain everything I can as soon as my friends are safe. I promise."
"Ok, let's get to work why don't we?" James said his Canadian accent
showing for the first time.
It only took Rose a few minutes to close the first door and open the
next. Inside she directed them to her friends lying on the floor. Frank
first checked their pulses before fitting each of them into their own
pressure suits.
"Your friends are going to be ok," Frank said as he finished putting the
last of them in their suit.
"Rose?" James asked seeing that the youngest of her friends was not more
than 15 or 16 years old he thought. "Who are these people? I mean how do
you know them?" he asked with a really bewildering look on his face.
"Like I said it is a long story," Rose said with a look of sadness and
tears starting to form in her eyes. "But I guess it is important to be
told. I will start from the beginning. Before I was born." As she told
them nearly everyone looked transfixed upon her waiting for the story to
begin.
"It all started about two years ago when..."
Chapter two - The birth of EMA -
John Kincaid is a quiet self contained person that loves his work. He is
an inventor that invents thing that everyday people can afford and use
practically. One of his most famous inventions was a electric car that
did not need plugging in to keep charged. Nor did it need constant
cleaning for solar panels. Many people even many car companies had bought
a car just to try and figure out how it worked but with no results.
He lives in Northern Arizona on a large piece of land outside of
Flagstaff with his daughter Elizabeth who just started the 6th grade. She
was a very attractive young woman with long blond hair and baby blue
eyes. She was developing the perfect hourglass figure that nearly every
man dreamed of.
One afternoon in September John's niece Linda came over to the house to
ask for help with one of her projects for school. Lynda had a physics
project do at the end of the week for her class at NAU and needed John's
help with some of the details.
As they were finishing up John glanced over to Linda's open physics book
which was showing a equation by a guy named Neil Dorner that claimed that
the equation proved that compressed space could not exist. 'Space has to
be equal to every part of space in every dimension.' But every time John
looked at the equation he could not help but feel something was wrong.
Now John not being a college grad in physics did not know to much about
the physics equation symbols so he decided he need to find out as much as
possible before continuing to try a find the problem. He tried studying
online through different web sites and what not but never found the
information he was looking for.
So John went down to the community college to talk to one of professors
there that taught introduction to physics who invited him to join his
class. John knew he needed the class to try and understand the equation
he had seen in Linda's book. However the school wanted John to sign up
for a lot more classes and tried to tell him he could not take just the
physics class without first completing some other class. John went back
to the professor to ask for his help. After much debate between John, the
professor and much of the upper management of the school John was finally
admitted and allowed to attend the physics class in the next term.
So in January John started taking the physics class and soon had a basic
understanding of many of the symbols used in the equation. At the end of
the summestor John was given the chance try and work on the equation that
he had read nearly six months before. The final project of the class was
to be for each of them to find a physics equation and decipher what the
different symbols were.
When John turned in his project the professor looked it over and told
well done. But John was not satisfied with what he came out with. The
professor seemed to know something was wrong with how John felt because
he asked him to stay after class. John and the professor spent the next
few hours going over the equation trying to find Johns issue with it.
Several time the professor thought he had John convinced that it was all
in his head until John came back with a retort that made just as much
sense as the result.
After about another hour John spotted something that kept drawing his
attention. In physics you have so many symbols that resemble another that
it is rather easy to mix them up and John thought he found one such
symbol. The equation had limits where there should be non. When John
finally figured it out and rewrote the equation to show the new results.
Both John and the professor were amazed at what it all meant.
Space was not equal in all dimensions but could be compressed or expanded
give the use of the right frequency of power. As John read what he had
written he got some ideas on how to test his theories. John drove over to
NAU where he knew Linda was still in her class. When he got there John
waited for class to let out before walking up to Linda and then the
professor to ask for some of a compound called 'Million 747'. The
compound contained high amounts of a rear heavy mineral that seem to
possess a very unique power type. After much debate and a sizable
donation to the school John was able to get 1.5 micrograms of the
compound.
When John got home that afternoon he found Elizabeth inside doing her
homework. He told her had to put some stuff away outside then he would be
back in to make dinner. After John put everything away that he had just
bought, including the 'Million 747', He returned inside started dinner.
The next day after Elizabeth left for school John went out to his
workshop where he assembled a ultra high speed centrifuge to try and
extract the the heavy minerals. After completing the centrifuge and
putting the compound in and turning it on John felt light headed and went
to make something to eat. After eating and not feeling any better he
decided he need to try and take some aspirin and lay down.
When he awoke later that afternoon he found Elizabeth was home and making
dinner.
"I found you in bed when I got home so I thought I should make dinner
today," Elizabeth explained to John. "Are you okay? You don't look so
good," she asked seeing John looked rather pale.
"I don't know," John said with the room starting to spin again. "I am
light headed and can seem to shake it," he told Elizabeth has her body
started to look to sway as he did.
"Go back and lay down and I will bring you some dinner when it is ready,"
Elizabeth told John seeing he was getting worse.
Since it was the weekend Elizabeth did not have school the next day and
decided she needed to stay home and help her dad. On sunday afternoon it
started to rain and lightning causing the power to go out for a little
bit. John seemed to start feeling better as soon as the lights went out.
When the lights came back on the feeling did not return much to John's
relief.
So on Monday when Elizabeth left for school John went to the workshop to
see how his compound was coming. He found that the centrifuge had turned
off in the power outage the day before since it had a push button on/off
switch. John wondered if the compound in the centrifuge could have caused
his illness but then found himself wondering if it was why Elizabeth had
not felt it as well.
After dispelling the thoughts John got to work constructing a chip that
will help to focus the power that the heavy minerals gave off. Once the
chip was finished John put on a heavy rubber suit so he would not get
shocked by the minerals. However when he was putting the mineral into the
chip a sharp blue spark shot right through the suit and into John.
John felt the light headedness right turn but not as bad as before so he
kept working. Soon there was someone in his driveway honking. It was UPS
with the parts he had ordered for a supercomputer. Which included four
dual 1157 motherboards, eight 1157 Windows pentium processors. thirty-two
six-teen gig ram and more than two dozen four terabyte hard drives.
John took all the stuff to the workshop. He needed something large enough
to hold the new computer. As he looked he spotted his Ford Windstar
sitting in a corner where he had put it after ripping out the front end
in one of the big snow storms earlier in the year. He thought about
putting the computer under the hood but found that it would be really
tight and he needed to use the car's radiator for the cooling system. So
John decided to put the whole thing under the car where the rear axle and
spare tire belonged.
After finishing all the mounts and brackets needed to build the computer
John turned his attention to the power issue. Since he had the power
source for his electric cars, he decided to use it for the computer since
it did put out 140 volts AC. So he finished installing everything and
putting it where he felt it would be best. By that time he looked down at
his watch and saw Elizabeth would be home soon. So he turned on the power
and put the ISO disk for the computer and knew that with every
installation he had ever done on computer like this it would take five to
six hours to go through all of the install before leaving to make dinner.
The next morning John returned the workshop to check how things were
going. When he entered the workshop however he found that the car had
changed. The wheel wells where the tires belonged had somehow closed
themselves off. But that was not the full extent of the changes. When
John went under the car to look underneath he found that the computer was
fully enclosed as well. In Fact as John looked the car over everywhere
there should be an opening there was none.
"How could this be?" John thought looking around to also find the the
driver side door and front passenger side door had both vanished from the
car.
As he walked around he found that the rear lid had been the only part of
the car to not really changed. Every other part had morphed even ever so
slight in to a different shape or texture or in some case whole new parts
of the vehicle. As he walked around to the front of the car he noticed
the hood was closed but not latched.
John hesitated for a moment then opened the hood. To his amazement he
found a large thirty by sixty room exactly ten times bigger than the
space original was. At the back of the room John found to holes one went
up while the other went down. First he tried the one that went up and
found himself in a room that was as wide as four buses and just as long.
But this room did not grow in height as much as the last one did. So John
walked back down the corridor to the last room and turned to go down the
other one.
When he emerged from this corridor he found himself looking at a room
full of many different corridors that all went in the same direction. but
instead of the room being dark it was well lit with an unknown light
source.as John turned to see what was on the wall behind him he found a
large flat screen that took up nearly every inch of the wall except for
two corridors on either side.
John thought this was amazing. He had never seen anything like it before
and he really wanted to keep exploring. So he walked down every corridor
he could find except those that had no way to get to them because they
were too far off the ground. So once he had finished he left to get some
materials to build walkways and stairs to get to all of the corridors. He
also wanted to build some doors so that people could not just walk from
one room to the next as easily.
It took John about three weeks to build all the doors, walkways and
stairs and to much surprise John found the corridors between room had
vanished since he put up doors. Now he could walk straight out of one
room and right into another. By this time the screen on the wall in the
smallest room had flickered on and off several dozen times. But today
however was different. The screen had color to it.
John watched knowing something was going to happen. after about an hour
the screen turned back to black but stayed on. John waited for the screen
to do something more when he noticed the time.
"Nearly 5. Shit I forgot about Elizabeth," John said aloud.
"Maybe I can help," a woman's voice said seemingly from everywhere at
once.
"Wh-Who is there?" John asked not know who it could or how they got into
the car without him knowing.
"The name I have taken is Ema," the voice replied.
"Where are you? I do not want any problems," John said really starting to
freak out now since the voice did not move.
"You are in me and you want to know where I am?" the voice said with a
laugh in her voice.
John thought about it for a moment and knew the ISO he had installed had
a voice recognition program but it was not this sophisticated. "You are
the computer I built?" John asked with disbelief.
"Yes I am," the voice replied. "I am Ema. The computer you built. Thank
you."
"If you are the computer you can tell me what your specs are," John said
hoping to catch the person off guard.
"Based on the information coming from my components I should be operating
at 22.4 mht prosser 19600 gbm ram with a max memory space of 120 tb.
Whoever my systems diagnostics shows I am running at three to the third
power faster than that," the computer replied with more confusion and
less sarcasm in her voice.
"How can you help me get Elizabeth from school? You have no wheels, no
way of moving around on your own," John said.
"Watch," the computer said as the screen showed an image of Elizabeth
walking up a street going away from the school.
Suddenly John felt the car shuter and knew they were moving. After less
than five minutes John saw Elizabeth stop walking as she started to look
up into the sky. As her gaze began to fall he saw the car starting to
show on the screen as well. It was flying and from everything he could
see on the screen there was no visible reason it should be able to fly.
As John watched he saw Elizabeth start to walk away from the car.
"John Elizabeth wont get in me," Ema's voice said sounding disappointed.
"I will talk to her," John said as he turned to the door on the left side
of the screen.
As John stepped out of the car and called to Elizabeth she turned to look
at him with tears in her eyes. John knew she was hurt from him forgetting
about her.
"You forgot me. How could you?" she cried holding her bag at her side.
"I am sorry I lost track of time working on Ema here," John said feeling
extremely bad for forgetting about his daughter.
"Ema?" Elizabeth asked. "You're calling it Ema?"
"No. The computer is calling itself Ema," John replied.
"So you don't have a woman in there with you?" Elizabeth said confusion
showing on her face.
"No I don't," John said seeing his opportunity to explain. "Ema is the
computer I built in the car and she is the one you heard ask you to get
in. She is AI," John said with an glint of excitement.
"Are you sure?" Elizabeth asked. "Last I heard the closest they had come
was some computer in Germany that barely had the mind of a two year old,"
she finished.
"That is true but somehow things are different with Ema. Ways that you
need to see to believe," John told Elizabeth escorting her into the car.
As Elizabeth entered the car she was first blown away by how large it was
in the inside compared to the outside. Elizabeth was so transfixed on the
expanse within the car that she had not noticed they were moving again.
She asked to explore the rest of the seeing the door at the back as well
as the one in the front. John told her "go-ahead" and before he knew she
was gone.
John registered the car with the FAA as a international personal aircraft
with special permits to allow them to land in places other than airports.
Over summer break John and Elizabeth traveled the world seeing places
that both of them had dreamed of.
They all had reached the ship that had brought James and his crew to
Mars. Frank escorted the three human survivors to the medical bay so he
could take their vitals. While he did one of the other pods landed about
fifty feet from the pod they were in. Rose looked around and saw the new
pod had a large hole in the bottom part of the ship and looked as though
they were leaking something. She turned James and told him what she had
seen.
When James looked out and saw it he cried, "Dear god that the O2 tank."
As he ran out of the room Rose and him were in. Rose followed knowing she
was able to get there a little faster than James. As they left the air
hatch they saw the hatch on the other pod open and three people stepped
out.
"Andrew is dead Sir," the black man said sounding as though he had just
ran a 10k marathon. "We were hit by something on reentry that ripped all
the way through the ship. Andrew was right in its path."
James told them all to go get checked by Frank and make sure they were
ok. But the woman in the group did not move. She was staring right at
Rose with no discernible expiration.
"Who is this Sir?" the woman asked not taking eyes off of Rose.
"This is one of the occupants found in the ship we investigated," James
told the woman. "Melissa this is Rose, Rose Melissa."
Melissa looked at James and said, "An alien Sir? But how? I mean from
where? I don't..." But she was cut off by James.
"Go see Frank and get checked out," James told Melissa. "I need to see if
any part of the ship is salvageable," he finished looking back at the pod
that had just landed.
Melissa walked to the off to get checked out by Frank while Rose and
James started looking over the ship to see how bad it was. As they
finished James knew the radio was shot as well as the O2 tank but most of
the important stuff was undamaged.
"Why not pull my Ship over and use it as well?" Rose asked James as they
left the new pod to walk back to the good one.
"That is a good idea," James said looking over his shoulder in the
direction of Rose's little car ship.
As James and Rose reentered the ship Frank met them with his assessment
of all six people just brought on board.
"They are all in perfect health from what I can tell," Frank said.
"However one of them is pregnant," he finished with a half grin half
frown.
"Who?" Both Rose and James asked in unison.
Franks left eyebrow rose as he said, "Megan. The girl from your ship." He
was pointing at Rose. "She is just as surprised as I was considering she
is a lesbian and has not been with a guy in nearly 12 years," he finished
turning to walk away.
"How can a lesbian get pregnant and not know it if she has not been with
a guy?" James asked looking at Rose with an expression of befuddlement on
his face.
"I guess my tail is used for the same purpose as the human peinis," She
said looking down at the ground. "But I do not remember cumming from my
tail," she said more to herself than to anyone else.
"I do not want to even know," James said the look of horror prominent on
his face. "Let's get back to your story," he said trying to change the
subject.
Chapter three - The birth of Rose -
After Elizabeth returned to school in August John started getting the
head acs again but now with a strange upset stomach. John went to the
doctors for these issues to only be told they could not find anything
wrong. The Doctors however wanted to run more and more test and John
finally said no more.
On his way home in late September Ema said "John I am overheating," So
john looked for a spot to land and found that at the local sears store
there was a guy outside with a hose. So he landed and asked if he could
use it to fill the car up with water. The told it would not be a problem
and handed him the house.
Once John had put the house in the tank to fill it up he asked Ema, "How
long before the take is full Ema?"
"About 1.5 hours John," Ema told John.
John thinking he should eat something since his stomach hurt more than
usual went inside the mall and ordered something to eat. When he was done
he looked over at the next table where he saw some had left a scientific
journal magazine, so he picked it up and started reading. The article
that caught his eye was one that was written by a college student named
Megan Morris from CCC in Northern Arizona.
The article read;
'My professor presented the class with a equation that basically said
that sub-space was not only possible but easily accessible if you were to
find just the right amount of power at just the right frequency. I have
spent the last 2 semesters trying to find just that... I think I am
really close to cracking the power requirements then it will just be a
master of fine tuning it.'
As he finished reading a guy walked up and said, "Sir. You asked to
borrow my water over an hour ago and then you disappear."
John looked down at his watch and said "Thank you. It should be just
about full now," As he stood to go outside the guy followed him as if on
a leash.
When they reach the car John opened the hood to reveal the cavernous
interior of the engine bay before stepping inside to remove the hose.
"What the hell type car is this?" the asked with total amazement on his
face and a smile from heir to heir.
John handed the guy the hose and start "This is aaa..." As his stomach
gave a sharp lerch and everything went dark. John Stumble back feel over
the giant generator and disappeared from site.
The guy not knowing what to do called out, "Sir. Sir. Are you alright?"
John not being able to answer herd Ema answer for him. "He is in trouble
and needs medical assistance," she said. The guy started to turn and run
when she spoke again. "Stop if anyone comes in they may get hurt, please
do not leave yet I need someone close just in case."
The guy stood there not knowing what to do. Finally after several minute
he asked, "Who are you?"
For a moment no one responded then Ema said, "My name is EMA."
"Hi Ema my name is Mike," Mike called into the car. "Do you know what is
going on with the guy?" he asked not knowing if he should stay or leave.
"I have an idea but until things settle down I don't know for sure," Ema
said with concern in her voice.
"I will be right back I need to go turn off the water," Mike said setting
down the hose and running. But this was only half true. Mike also
intended to get some more help but when he go to where the fasset was to
turn off the water there was no one around. So he ran back.
"Mike. Mike are you there?" Ema called out as Mike returned to the car.
"Yes. What is it?" Mike replied.
"I need you to go get a girl that can help us," Ema said.
"A girl? Why a girl?" Mike asked in astonishment.
"Because of the type of help I need," Ema said.
"Ok I will be right back," Mike said as he turned to run off.
The only person he could think that would not dismiss his soon as he
approached was a friend of his named Megan. So he went to where she was
working and told what had happened. Megan wanted to call the cops before
going but Mike was explained the Ema did not want any emergency people
there yet for what might happen. Megan eventually said ok and followed
Mike out to the car.
Once Mike and Megan got to the car Mike yelled in, "Hello."
"Please come in and lower the 'door' behind you," Ema said.
Mike and Megan entered the car and pulled the 'door' down behind them.
Once it was down the amount of light was very low. So low in fact that
they were only sing shadows.
"Please come to the light and walk through the door," they heard Ema say
as a light came on over a door in the far left corner of the room. Mike
wished it was a little brighter because he wanted to make sure the guy
was ok and even though he tried to see the guy as the walked he could not
see anything.
As Mike and Megan approached the room they saw that the lights in there
were much brighter. So this urged them to move a little fast to the next
room. Once inside the door behind them closed locking them in.
"Thank you for coming," Ema said with a tone of relief.
"Where are you? Who are you?" Megan asked as she looked around trying to
find the source of the voice and noticing all the corridors and walkways
spread out throughout the room,
"I am all that you see. I am everywhere," Ema replied. "If you turn to
the screen on the wall I need your help with something," Ema continued.
She explained How John built her and how she gained her self awareness.
"In front of you there is some money and a sheet of paper with the
dimensions of a woman. I need you to go and get some clothing so when my
creator is able..." The volume dropped off for a second. "Can get
dressed," Ema finished off.
Megan looked down at the piece of paper and saw;
overall height: 5'8"
bust: 38"
under bust: 30"
waist: 24"
hips: 36"
inseam: 36"
under bust to shoulders: 8 1/3"
arms: 28"
Megan knowing that she would be able to find someone in the mall to help
sai, "ok," before turning to walk out with Mike in tow.
It took Megan more than an hour to buy all the clothing and return to the
car. Ema asked her to hang the clothing on a hook near the door and walk
through a different to wait. This door also in the far left corner of the
room was about 3 feet to the right. Megan did not remember seeing the
door before but was sure it had to be.
after another twenty minutes John finally awoke. Most of the pain was
gone as was the head ac. Whoever he could not see so he tried to call out
for Ema and found he could not talk. After a few minutes his vision
started coming back to him a little at a time. He still could not talk
but decided rather than lay there he needed to try and get up.
As John rolled over he felt different. He did not know what it was at
first but his body had changed. As he tried to get up on his hands and
knees he knew something was wrong. He felt unbalanced balanced and
awkward as if he had just finished spinning around and around but without
the spinning head that goes with it.
Eventually John found his balance as his vision came into sharper focus.
Once he was on his feet he looked and and found the room he was in was
bright than he had ever seen it before. Even though the room was black
along with much of the items within it, he could clearly make out every
detail of every object in the room.
Suddenly John heard a faint sound of someone calling to him. "John" the
voice kept calling. "John, can you hear me? John" the voice was becoming
clearer as he listen to it. Finally he could hear it really good and
again tried to speak but no words came out. so he hit the side of the
wall.
"At least you can hear me," Ema said sounding relieved. "There are some
clothing on the hook next to the door for you to put on."
As she finished John kept trying to talk think that it might work like
his eyes and ears the more he focused on them the faster they worked. So
as John walked over and absentmindedly started grabbing the clothes to
put while focusing on trying to talk.
First it was the panties that were a little tighter than he felt
comfortable with. Followed by the sock and black dress pants. But when he
reached for the top something fell onto his head. That is when for the
first he looked up to look at what was on the hook.
"They are all womens clothes," John said allowed able to finally talk. As
he heard the words in his ears he noticed his voice had risen a few
actives. At the same He noticed that his ass was starting really hurt as
well.
"John we need to talk about what just happened," Ema said.
"No shit! you think!" John said a lot more aggressively than he intended.
As John turned to see what is making his ass hurt. He sees a long purple
tail about three inches in diameter. He goes to pull the pants and
panties off when he notices something hanging from his chest. As he looks
he sees two large purple breast swinging too and trow. Now realizing that
the changes seem to be a lot more than just his vision hearing and voice.
John takes his right hand and reaches between his legs. As he feels he
finds the valumpsuse lips serounding the cliterus. He reaches a little
farther to find that he had a vagina.
"Holy Shit!" John yelled now pulling his hand back out.
John looked around the room and found a pair of scissors that Elizabeth
had lost over summer break. John used them to cut holes into the panties
and pants so they would go on over his tail. Once he had finished putting
on the pants John looked up to try and find a bra but did not find it. So
instead he grabbed the white button up blouse.
"Now Ema let's talk," John said sounding angry.
"Yes, please come to the monitor and we will talk," Ema said sounding
scared.
John walked to the room with the monitor as the doors opened John was hit
by a bright flash of light.
"What the hell was that?" John asked. starting to regain his focus.
"What was what? The door just opened just like it always does. Did it
not?" Ema responded.
John not knowing what to think and hearing the concern in Ema's voice
decided to let it go for now. John walked through the door and turned the
corner to stand in front of the monitor.
"Before I show you what you look like please be aware I had no way to
stop it," Ema said to John.
"Please, just show me," John said wanting to know the full extent of the
changes.
"I kept the police away once I discovered that what was changing you was
a dimensional rift that formed within you," Ema told John.
As John looked himself over he saw all the change that took place and he
found the missing bra. After removing it from his head he took his blouse
off to put on the bra. He tried to button it behind him but could not. So
he turned it around asto button it from the front before turning back
around to finish putting it on as well as replacing the blouse.
"Ema?" John said. "How did you get the clothes?"
"The girl in the next room got them for you," Ema said.
John looked around to the far side of the and started walking to the
door. As it opened again John has hit with a blinding light but this time
his eye adjusted much quicker.
"What Are You!" Megan screamed as John came through the door.
"My name is John. I'm the inventor of this vehicle," John said looking
around.
"Your name is John? You know that is a guys name right?" Megan told John
as she looked her over.
"Ok. so what would you call me?" John aske Megan who was now looking at
her like a guy would look at woman.
"I don't know," Megan started. "Let's think for a moment." Megan paced
back and forwards for a few minutes before turning on her heel and
saying, "How about Rose? I have always liked that name."
John thought about for a few minutes and finding no faults with and
having liking the name as well he said, "Rose it is. Hi my name is Rose
what's yours?"
"Megan," she said with a smile on her face. "My name is Megan. Nice to
meet you Rose," she finished.
"The pleasure's all mine," Rose said. "I want to thank you for getting me
these clothes for me," Rose said noticing Megan's bright blue eyes.
"Not a problem," Megan said. "Hey I need to get back to work." Megan had
started to turn and walk out.
"I knew this sounds weird but do you know what time it is?" Rose asked
Megan.
"It is now 4:30. Why?" Megan said.
"I need to get home to my daughter she will be getting off the bus now,"
Rose said looking around and walking towards Megan.
"Your daughter?" Megan replied. "There are more like you?"
"No I am the first of my kind as far as I know," Rose said.
"Wait first? You are joking right?" Megan said with a laugh that faded.
"Look, up until today I was a normal human male," Rose said looking
frustrated. "I was born John Kincaid here in Flagstaff 35 years ago. I
got married had a little girl at 24 and right after she was born her
mother left to be with another guy back east."
"Your daughter doesn't know does she?" Megan asked with shock spreading
across her face.
Rose did not say a word just shook her head. As she did so though she
could feel her new longer hair brush her skin as it did so it caused
tears to well up in her eyes.
"Look I should have been off half an hour ago. I will go with you to tell
her what happened," Megan said. "I just need to ask Mike to bring my car
to me later ok?" Rose just simply nodded as she tried to hold back the
tears.
"So let me get this straight. You were born a male human child and turned
into this before me?" James said waving his hand a Rose.
"Yes I was born a male human child and until last year was that away,"
Rose said to James.
Right the the alarm went off foretelling the arrival of the next pod
unit. So James and Rose went to the window to watch it come in. This pod
was one of four unmanned pods that only had supplies and building
equipment for the camp. The pod landed a lot harder than it should have
and one of the three land gears snapped. The pod leaned over to it side
and rested.
James turned to Rose and said, "This mission has turned in one fuck up
after another."
Rose smiled and said, "Just think how much worse things can be. Then
smile."
James smiled shook his head and said, "I have never thought of it that
way."
"How long before all the pods are down on the ground?" Rose asked James
as they walked back to the table.
"About seventy-two hours to get them all down then we have to start
setting them up to live in," James told her.
Right then Frank walked up to the door. "Sir her crew is starting to wake
up," Frank told James.
"Can I go see them now?" Rose asked Frank.
"I don't see why not. They are asking about you anyway," Frank said.
James and Rose stud and walk out of the room. James escorted Rose to the
med-lab and gave her privacy as she talked to each of them in turn.
Rose's first stop was Elizabeth bed. Partly because it was close to the
door and partly because this was her child. "How are you baby girl?" Rose
asked her.
"I am doing good. I don't think we will make it back in time for school
today," Elizabeth said half jokingly.
"No I don't think so," Rose said smiling down at her little girl. "I am
going to check on the others now get some sleep for me. ok?" Rose said
standing from Elizabeth bed as she nodded up at Rose.
The next person she went to see was Megan. "Who are you?" Rose asked
looking down at Megan's belly.
"So you know ha?" Megan said looking rather disappointed. "I swear you
are the only one I have been with in the last few months. I haven't even
been with a guy since I was a teenager," Megan said with her voice
trailing off with the last part.
"Megan I know that. Remember I use to be a guy and we did use my tail
that one last month. Remember?" Rose said to Megan who was now liking up
because of Rose's laughter in her voice. "Now get some rest. We are going
to be here for a while."
Rose then walked over to Mike's who was pretending he was asleep. Rose
knew he was awake because when she came in he looked at her. "Quit
pretending you faker," Rose said smacking Mike's leg.
"So now you want to come see me. Elizabeth I can understand but Megan?"
Mike asked looking up at Rose.
I went to see Megan because she is pregnant," Rose told Mike.
Mike suddenly looked very odd like he was trying to remember something
but can't. "How can Megan be pregnant? She has never been with a guy?"
Mike asked looking up at Rose.
"You right Megan has not been with any guy for a very long time. But
apparently I am not just any woman now either," Rose told mike seeing his
face turn to revolution. "Oh Stop that you know you would give anything
to see to very hot woman getting it on together."
"You're right," Mike said starting to laugh and sitting up a little in
his bed. "So how did you do it? I mean getting her pregnant," Mike asked
looking over to at Megan who had been watching but suddenly turned her
head.
"Later we all have much to talk about but for now we need to keep some
things to ourselves," Rose said noticing Megan's red cheeks.
Rose then walked over to James and said, "I am hungry can we eat
something?"
James nodded and then turned and walked down the corridor to a set of
steps that lead down to the room that had the rovers. "There is not much
in here but you can have what ever you want," James said with sadness in
his voice.
"James what is wrong?" Rose asked trying to get him to look at her.
"You are with Mike and Megan I can not ask you to consider me," James
said walking towards a corner of the room.
"I am not with Mike," Rose said looking at the ceiling in the direction
of the med-lab. "I have only done anything with Megan and that has been
limited," she said bring her gaze down to meet James's.
"So you're not seeing Mike?" James asked looking confused more than
relieved.
"No Mike is just a friend that wants it to go beyond. But he is more
interested in Megan than me," Rose said with a smile on her face. "He has
been trying to get Megan to go out with him for the last two years.
Imagine his surprise when he found out she was lesbian."
"Wait Megan never told him," James said no starting to smile as well.
"Then how did he find out?"
Chapter four - Their Bad Luck -
After Megan had told clocked out from work and told Mike where she was
going she returned to the car to go home with Rose. On the way Rose was
looking out the windows at the wonderment of all the new colors that she
could see.
"Rose?" Megan suddenly asked. "Why did Elizabeth's mom leave?" Her voice
trailing off with the last word as she too looked out the window at the
passing ground.
"I do not know really. She suddenly started acting all weird and then one
day I came home from work and she was on the phone having phone sex,"
Rose said remembering back to the day Elizabeth's mom left. "I have tried
to ask her but everytime we talk she says things to make me angry," Rose
said as the tears started to fall.
Megan suddenly hugged Rose and planted a big kiss on her lips. Rose did
not push away in fact she had been wanting to kiss Megan ever since they
had met just over an hour ago now. The kiss lasted for what seemed like
hours. They only broke apart when Ema told them they would be landing in
just a minute.
When the house came into view Rose spotted Elizabeth walking up the steps
and go inside. "We are too late to be waiting inside for when she gets
home," Rose told Megan as the tears resumed the escape.
Megan did not say a word but lept from the car as soon as it was within
feet of the ground. Megan ran straight for the house and knocked on the
front door. She stood there waiting for the door to open fighting the
urge to look back at Rose.
The door opened and the girl inside said, "Hello, can I help you with
something?"
"Hi my name is Megan and I am a friends of your dad's," Megan said trying
to be as calm as possible.
"My dad is not home right now. I will tell him you came by when he gets
home," Elizabeth said starting to close the door.
"No Wait! Your dad is here, there was a..." Megan searched for the rights
words to say.
"Is he okay? Where is he? What happened? DAD!" Elizabeth shouted tears
now falling down her face.
"No he is ok but he is different than he was," Megan explained to
Elizabeth as John now Rose walked in front of the door.
Elizabeth looked over Megan's shoulder at the female figure that just
walked up. Suddenly without words from either Elizabeth or Rose Elizabeth
pushed Megan aside and ran to Rose hugging her around the middle.
After a few moments Elizabeth broke off and escorted her new father to
the house. She they passed Megan picking herself up off the ground
Elizabeth invited her in as well.
The three of them went to the kitchen and each took a seat around the
table. None of them spoke for a few moments as Elizabeth looked Rose
over.
"So what happened?" Elizabeth asked still not daring to remove her eyes
from her father.
"Do you remember last year what I got sick for days at a time?" Rose
asked Elizabeth
"Yea, I took care of you I should remember," Elizabeth said turning to
Megan for the first time since they entered the house. Megan smiled still
trying to get rid of the pain in her ass from falling on it outside.
"Well I was infected by some stuff I was working with. It was working to
change me to make into this," Rose said looking down at her had she just
laid on the table. "Today it finished its job."
Elizabeth took Rose's hand in hers and examined it closely. As she did
She noticed the fingernails seem to be metallic. Elizabeth then moved to
the back side of Rose, careful not to step on her tail, and looked at her
ears.
"Can you hear better with them way up there?" Elizabeth Asked grabbing
one ear and twisting it around to see the inside.
"Yes I can hear much clearly and distinctly," Rose said pulling her head
forward.
Elizabeth then grabbed Rose's tail to look it over. "What good is a
tail?"
"Some animals use their tail for balance while others use it like an
extra hand," Rose said.
"What about this hole in the end," Elizabeth pointed to the end of the
tail.
As Rose looked at the end of her tail she saw a small slit in the end but
what ever she tried it would not open. "I do not know, honey," Rose said
still looking at her tail.
Megan stood up from the table and said, "Well I need to go. I need to try
to get Mike to pick me up."
"That is the second time you mentioned Mike. Who is he?" Rose asked ash
dropped her tail and looked up at Megan.
"Mike is the guy that came to get me to get the close for you," Megan
said rather quickly than she should have.
"Why not stay for dinner? Please?" Elizabeth said putting emphasis on
please while transversing to her puppy dog eyes.
At that Megan's heart melted and she knew she could not say no. "Ok just
for dinner," she said trying to keep from looking Rose in the eyes.
After dinner Rose told Elizabeth it was time for her homework. Elizabeth
tried to get out of by insisting she had the whole weekend to do it. "But
is you do it now then you don't have to worry about not have time to
finish it later. Do you?" Rose said to Elizabeth who had to admit she was
right about that.
While Elizabeth did her Homework Rose and Megan talked about their pasts.
They found that even though Megan's parents died when she was really
young and Rose's were still alive they had both lived nearly identical
lives as for heart acs and opportunities. But somehow they had never met.
When Elizabeth finally said she had finished her homework and had gone to
get ready for bed Rose and Megan walked outside to take a walk. After
about twenty feet from the house Rose noticed Megan had stopped walking.
"What is wrong? Don't you want to walk with me?" Rose asked looking back
at Megan.
"Yes I do. But it is so dark I can't hardly see anything right now,"
Megan said looking disturbed.
"It is so bright out what do you mean you can see anything because of how
dark...," Rose said trailing off remembering how much brighter everything
has been since he now she had awoken in the car earlier that day. "I am
sorry I had not realized until now that I could see so well in the dark,"
Rose said walking Megan back up towards the House.
"You can thought it was bright out here?" Megan asked looking at Rose in
the light of the front porch.
"Well I thought it was still sunny it is so bright," Rose said looking
into the trees seeing the wildlife move around that most people near get
to see without special cameras. "I can see the little coyote walking
around just inside the tree line. The bats flying around over head. And
an owl sitting on a branch on that tree over by that hill. They are all
so clear as if it was the middle of the day. But I look around and I
don't even see the moon in the sky," As Rose spoke she was looking around
and pointing out the different things.
"Well at least you will never have to worry about disturbing anyone in
the middle of the night by turning a light," Megan said with a forced
smile.
Rose stood there looking at megan than raised one eyebrow and said,
"You're right."
Both Rose and Megan stood there looking at each other for a few moments
then at the same both started laughing and turned to walk into the house.
By Monday morning Rose had not slept more than one or two hours each
night. She was not sure why but for some reason when she was up she was
fine but then almost on cue at the twenty-one hour mark She got tired and
had to lay down. Later that afternoon Megan had told Rose that she had
needed to get to work and Mike still had not shown up with her car. So
Rose took Megan to town. On the way Rose told Megan she was going to go
shopping for some new clothes since she had been in the same clothes
since the change.
Before going into the store that Megan worked at she gave Rose everything
she needed to go find clothes and told her which stores to stay away
from. Megan gave Rose a quick peck on the lips and walked into Meices.
Rose first went to 'Victoria Secrets' to get knew panties since she had
to have them specially made. Then she went to 'Just for Her' who Megan
had told her would be the best place to go. Rose was just coming out of
the fitting room for the third time to look at one of the outfits she was
trying on when Megan came walking in.
"Well I have some bad new and some really bad news," Megan said with
anger in her face. "I lost my job because I helped you," She said now not
looking at Rose.
"Okay, I have heard worse. What is the really bad news?" Rose said trying
to find out what was going on.
"Mike was arrested for helping," Megan said now looking at Rose again
this time with fire in her eyes.
Rose feeling this was directed at her asked in a calm cool voice, "Are
you saying this is my fault Megan?"
Megans cheeks flushed with red and she averted her gaze down to the floor
as she spoke, "Well no. I mean..." She never got to finish.
"Megan we will go get Mike from jail and if you need to you can stay with
me," Rose said taking Megan's chin to turn her head towards her own.
Megan's eyes filled with tears as she hugged Rose around the neck. After
another half hour in the store Rose was finally ready to leave having
spent twice as much as she really needed. Not because she bought more
than intended but because nearly every pull over shirt she tried on
ripped on her horns.
Megan and Rose walked over to 'Victoria Secrets' to pick up Roses order
since while they were at the checkout counter in 'Just For Her' they had
called and told her it was ready. Afterwards Rose took Megan to the jail
to see what it would take to get Mike out of jail. Rose waited in the car
while Megan went inside.
After more than two hours it was time for Elizabeth to be getting home
from school. So rose called home and left a message on the answering
machine that she would be home as soon as she could.
It was another two hours before Megan and Mike came walking out of the
jail. When Mike saw the car that Megan was riding in he turned to walk
back into the jail but Megan grabbed him. After they had argued for
twenty minutes Mike finally gave in and got into the car.
Mike having never been in this part of the car looked around in awe at
how much room there was inside this part of the car. As his eyes made
their way up to the front he saw her and with a gasp tumbled out of th
