The Fall of Five (I Am Number Four)
“My palms are sweating, almost like the documents I’m holding are radiating heat. My mind races.
What would the Mogadorians be doing with copies of my father’s notes? How would they even have gotten them?
I think back to dinner that first night when my dad laid out the details of his long Mogadorian imprisonment. I remember some of the Garde seeming suspicious, especially when my dad talked about the tinkering the Mogadorians did with his mind. Nine even came right out and said that it could be ...a trap.
But that wasn’t possible. He’s my father. We could trust him.
I race down the hallway to my dad’s room. I’m not even sure what I’m going to do when I find him. Confront him? Tell him we need to get the hell out of here?
His room is empty. I find myself taking a quick glance around, not even sure what I’m looking for. Some kind of Mogadorian communicator? A Mog-English dictionary? Nothing looks out of the ordinary.
There has to be a rational explanation for this, right?
Hadn’t I seen with my own eyes the kind of literal mind games the Mogadorians are capable of?MoreLess
