Suddenly, the lights went out! A door slammed. A little girl screamed. Suddenly, an alien spaceship appeared above the house! While millions of people were succumbing to the alien virus, the smoking man watched and smiled. Meanwhile, in a small apartment in Virginia, a young man was having nightmares. Part II A light snow was falling, and the FBI agent with the vermilion hair had not found a new lead all day. At that very moment, the Assistant Director of the FBI was making an important discovery. The mysterious patient in Room 213 had finally awakened. She moaned softly. Could it be that she was the little girl who was abducted by aliens, who was the sister of the young man in Virginia who loved the FBI agent with the vermilion hair? The A.D. frowned. "They're here!" the Russian shouted, and forty thousand grey E.B.E.s descended into the capitol city. The two men rolled on the ground grappling between the murderous weaponry. A left and a right. A left. Another left and right. An uppercut to the jaw. The fight was over. And so the planet was saved. The A.D. sat by himself in one corner of the coffee shop. He had learned about the Truth, but more importantly, he had learned something about life. THE END
