"Yeah, okay", said Tom sarcastically. Officer Johnstone offered a beer to Tom, who declined the offer. "Now, please tell me about the poster that you have with you", said the officer. "Sure", replied Tom. He described the public announcement to and, gave the officer advice about escaping the county when the aliens come and invade. He and the officer walked into the kitchen which faced the grassy backyard. The kitchen has five cabinets, one dishwasher, one stainless steel GE refrigerator, an electric stove, and a Police Radio.
Right now, he's off duty, so he turned down his radio. He opened his messy, disorganized refrigerator. The food is basically integrated with the drinks and food. The fruits and vegetables look rotten and the milk is sour. The uncapped orange juice looks rotten and, the filled water bottles appeared to be murky. The refrigerator has an unpleasant odor through the kitchen. "Would you care for a beverage?" asked the officer.
"No, I don't think that anybody would want a drink from your crappy and disgusting refrigerator", answered Tom. The officer suddenly became infuriated. Tom turned around and, a hatchet came flying across the room and hit the wallpaper. "Have you lost your damn mind?" asked Tom. "No", answered the officer. Tom started to run to the door and, the officer's anger started to increase. Tom struggled to unlock the door. However, the officer threw a punch at him. After that, Tom twisted to officer's arm and, he pushed him to the back of the kitchen all the way to the sliding door. After that, he tossed Officer Johnstone on the grass. And, the officer struggled to get up. Eventually, he started standing again. Tom was caught off guard and the officer attempted to ram through him. As a result, the drunken officer accidentally rammed through the tall wooden fence, and was knocked out unconscious. After that, Tom left the officer's property with an attitude of solace. He returned on his way distributing the posters to all of the citizens in town. He reached the Steel family residence on Goodluck Street. Ms. Bertha Steel is present at the house. When, he knocked on the door, she immediately looked through the window and noticed her son's former friend. She opened the door. "Where's my son?" she asked.
"He's not with me right now. I don't know where he went", answered Tom. "You and him are constantly hanging out. Why wouldn't he be with you right now?" asked Bertha. "For the last time, I don't know where he is. But, I came here to show you something else", answered Tom. He pulled out his poster and presented it to her.
"Explain it", said Bertha. "Okay", replied Tom. He said, "This is a public announcement to let you know that there are aliens that are planning to invade the county.”
"What are you talking about?" asked Bertha. "You see, I am one of three fugitives who ended up being imprisoned by the evil alien leadership of Starmos City. An innocent alien citizen, a shapeshifting robot, and myself were unjustly thrown into the slammer over there", answered Tom. "How was their slammer like?"
asked Bertha. "Oh my God, it was a living nightmare. It was worse than the human slammers. No light, extreme temperatures, and sheer ugliness and filth", answered Tom. "You did kind of deserve that kind of treatment. After, not caring about your friend's wellbeing, you should rot there forever", replied Bertha.
"Oh, just shut up and, let's just get back to the important public announcement", said Tom. "Hey, you don't tell me to shut up. Do you understand? Who do you think you are talking to an adult like that?"
asked Bertha. "Get your big, fat head out of here, shut up and, listen to me regarding this poster", answered Tom. Bertha growled like an angry leopard. She grinded her teeth and, crinkled her eyebrows in exasperation.
"Tell me about the public announcement, and get out of my house" she said. "Okay, on behalf of the mayor at town hall, the advisory is to evacuate your house at the crack of dawn. Board up your windows by nine o' clock this evening, and board up your doors to keep the aliens from taking all of your assets. And, then, you are to evacuate the city and move over to the woodlands. Before, evacuating to the woodlands, put on some camouflage so that way you blend in the area and the aliens don't realize that you're there", said Tom.
"Okay, thank you", replied Bertha.
"You're welcome", said Tom. "Now, get out of my house", replied Bertha. He started to walk over to the door and he reached the stoop. He stopped on the stoop and said, "By the way, I was lying about not knowing your son's location." "What do you mean you're lying?" asked Bertha angrily.
"Yeah, your son and I ended up in the county jail for two counts of theft. My charges were dismissed. However, he was released on bond. Then, we got a tour of the corporate headquarters in the hills of town. And, we decided to go through a wormhole and, I left my former friend in a foreign dimension", answered Tom. "Why would you do such a thing to your friend?" asked Bertha. "Because, he attempted to beat the living crap out of me. And, he caused me to almost end up in the county slammer", answered Tom. "Well, you could've at least let me know that my son disappeared. You know you're very stupid. Has anyone ever told you that?" asked Bertha.
"No", answered Tom. "Now, I'll give you ten seconds to get away from my house before I come out there and, I don't think you want that to happen", replied Bertha. Tom started to immediately run off of her property. He is worried for his life. At the same time, he has a feeling of sorrow because she reminded him of his friend's disappearance. However, he did not let that issue get to him.
Chapter IV: The Preparations for the Evacuation of the County
After Tom, left the Steel residence, he received a phone call from Mayor Stone. "Where are you?" asked the mayor. "I am by the Steel residence", answered Tom. "What are you doing over there?"
asked the mayor angrily. "Oh, Bertha wanted me to come over there because she was livid since my friend disappeared", answered Tom.
"And, what does she have to do with your friend's disappearance?"
asked the mayor. "Well, she's my friend's mom. However, she called me irresponsible, immature, and quirky. So, I am going to continue on my way", answered Tom. "Why would you stay at the door when I told you to ring the door bell and, leave the house as soon as you're done dropping off the sheets?" asked the mayor.
"Because, her and two other people welcomed me into their homes for a visit. Unfortunately, all three of the visits were troublesome and the home owners of the three homes that I paid visits to were extremely arrogant and despicable. They were so damn disrespectable", answered Tom. "Did I tell you to pay visits to these homes or, did I tell you to just drop off the papers and be done with it?" asked the mayor.
"You told me to do choice B, I guess", answered Tom. "And, what choice did you make?" asked the mayor. "Choice A", answered Tom, who feels melancholy. "And, what do you have to say about what you did?" asked Mayor Stone. "I'm not sorry. I don't think it's the wrong decision. It's good being social instead of a freaking robot", answered Tom. "What did you say?" asked the mayor. "You heard me.
I aint sorry for what I did", answered Tom.
"First of all, it is a shame that you took advantage of my nice attitude. I treat you to a delicious lunch. And, you disrespect me.
Followed by that, you violate my order. And, then, you say that you're not sorry and, you make like being an idiotic fool is right. Well, you have a lot of thinking. You have a lot of thinking to do. You are the biggest nutcase that the sin has ever placed on this Earth. Shame on you", replied Mayor Stone.
"Am I fired?" asked Tom. "Your insinuation should be of course that you're going to be fired", answered Mayor Stone. "Well, don't you know how to answer some silly ass question?" asked Tom.
"Yes, I do. And, by the way, I hate to tell you this but, you're fired", answered Mayor Stone. "Oh, I'm so sad", replied a sarcastic Tom Jackson. "You should be sad. And, moreover, you should be ashamed of yourself. Just, go to hell 'cause, that's where you belong", said Mayor Stone. "I'm not the one with the problem. You're the one with the problem. Do you understand?" asked Tom. "Of course, I understand. I'm not stupid like you", answered Mayor Stone. "By the way, has anyone told you that you're arrogant, condescending, and beastly?" as
ked Tom.
"No", answered the mayor. "If you were to round up all of your goals and put all of your goals in plans for this town in three words, what would they be?" asked Tom. "I can't summarize my goals in three words. I would have to do it in six. I would say I would like to make the town a better place", answered Mayor Stone. "I have some advice for you", replied Tom. "And, what would that be?" asked Mayor Stone. "Well, if you want to make your town a better place, then look at you and, make a change for yourself", answered Tom.
"That was the most powerful thing that anyone has ever said to me", replied the mayor.
"Thank you", said Tom. "You know something, I realized that I was extremely condescending to you and I want to make amends with you or some sort of a truth. But, all I have to say is that I'm sorry for being an idiot". replied the mayor. "You're forgiven and I'm sorry for being such an ignoramus and fool to you", said Tom. "Thank you.
You're forgiven for your foolishness", replied Mayor Stone. "Now, can I continue on my journey delivering the posters to everyone in the residential area?" asked Tom.
"Sure", answered Mayor Stone. They concluded their phone conversation with goodbyes and, Tom hung up the phone. Then, a young adolescent man started to walk outside of a garage. He stands at a tall and slender stature and has reddish blonde hair. He is eighteen years old. He does not look like a nerd or geek. However, he started to walk up to Tom. He lives behind the Steel residence in a modern garage which is adjacent to the backyard. He walked up to Tom and, asked "Who are you?"
Tom introduced his name to the stranger. "My brother is constantly talking about you. I haven't seen him in days. But, rumor has it that you were behind his disappearance. Is that true?" he asked.
"No, it was your stupid brother who brought the trouble to himself. I didn't do anything wrong. So, let's forget about the subject", answered Tom. "You're right. My brother was stupid. I'm the genius in the family. Unfortunately, nobody sees me in that type of a way. But, I'm the best and better than everyone else in this world", replied the bombastic self-proclaimed savant.
"Yeah, okay", said Tom sarcastically. "Do you want to see my lab?" asked Iron's brother. "Sure, but, before that, I want to know your name." The self-proclaimed savant answered, "I am Drew Steel, Iron's brother." He and Tom walked into his living quarters. Inside is a closed murphy bed, a disorganized desk, a mini fridge, a futon style sofa with a television.
"Go to the lab, where I make all of my studies. It's the most important place in my house at least. I have been working here for about five years. I graduated eighth grade and, my mom renovated the garage and turned it into a small house, furnished it, and separated all of the parts of my living quarters with shelves. The place where I made all of my theoretical studies was in the area is what I like to call 'the lab'", said Drew. Both Tom and Drew walked over to the lab, which looked like a disorganized disaster. Scrap papers are scattered all over the floor the lamp's light is dim like the first Edison Lightbulb. The desk looks messed up with dried out pen ink. Half of the pens on that desk are exploded. Yet, the shelves, that separated the working lab from every other place in the house, were organized perfectly with books that were created by Drew. These books were called The Science of the other Dimensions. He is studying different dimensions that are inhabited.
"What are you studying?" asked Tom. "Starmos City", answered Drew. "Really, you're studying that place?" asked Tom.
"Yeah, I'm studying the alien city. I know what the civilians look like.
However, I don't know the government of that place", answered Drew.
"It's a dictatorship", answered Tom. "How do you know that?" asked Drew. "I've been there before", answered Tom.
"How can a simple Earthling like you travel from one dimension to another?" asked Drew. "Because it's a secret", answered Tom. "Well, tell me the secret", replied Drew. "Okay, I shouldn't be giving this secret away. But, I'll tell you", said Tom. "Alright, tell me", replied Drew. "I know how to travel from one dimension to another dimension. I have broken the sound barrier, surpassed the speed of light, and, met aliens in space", said Tom. "How are you able to do that?" asked Drew.
"In my dreams", answered Tom. "You know something; I thought you were physically there. You outright lied to me. How can you do such a thing?" asked Drew. "Okay, I was just kidding when I said that I visited the place in my dreams. I was able to get there in an LSC or my friend Light who is a shapeshifter", answered Tom. "So, you have a Light Speed Cycle as a friend. Is that correct?" asked the skeptical savant. "Yeah, and an alien as well", answered Tom. "Why would you have an alien as a friend when you're at war with the malevolent souls?" asked Drew.
"My friend is somebody that is respectable. The ones who are ill-willed are the aliens involved in the Starmos Government", answered Tom. "Okay. Now, will you please tell me about your ordeal in Starmos City?" asked Drew. "Sure", answered Tom. "Light and I visited the alien city. From there, we visited Cornelius Von Alien's Estate, the Alien Estate, which looked like an odd place. Everything was odd in this city. Continuing on, Cornelius gave me and Light a tour of the estate and, we were in the conference hall. From there, Light couldn't get down the stairs because he was a shapeshifting robot. Cornelius was spitefully stubborn and not willing to help Light down the stairs. The royal brute, Cornelius turned the stairs into a ramp and, Light fell down the stairs and, was knocked out unconscious. I threw a punch at Cornelius.
He tried to beat the living crap out of me. However, we reconciled. Light and I returned to the kitchen. I finally woke him up and, Cornelius started to show his evil personality. He was trying to poison us. I was able to eaves drop on the conversations in the kitchen about him poisoning the food that Light and I were about to devour.
From there, this evil alien tried using kerosene for the food and Will Von Alien, the chef at the Alien Estate, deliberately burnt the food.
From there, I decided to be spiteful to Cornelius and, so, I made a huge mess in the dining room. And, the valuable, pure chandelier was covered with food. Then, I decided not to apologize to Cornelius.
After that, Chef Will Von Alien served Cornelius some food with an ingredient that would put him to sleep. Cornelius was knocked out unconscious. From there, Chef Will, myself, and Light decided to flee the Alien Estate. Suddenly, we were stopped by multiple guards. We were shackled and sent to a holding cell. Then, we were brought before Cornelius on charges of treason and attempted escape. We were sentenced to life. Will managed to escape the Alien Estate because he managed to loosen his cuffs. However, Light and I were thrown in this hideous hole right outside of the estate. It was literally a hole. We met a beautiful soft spoken woman who was Cornelius's ex-wife. After meeting her, we experienced the royal treatment as compared to her condition. Will returned back to the estate and, freed us from the hole", said Tom. "Now, what brings you to my house or to 'my shack'?" asked Drew. "Well, you see, I have to be going from house to house because Mayor Stone assigned me to give this public announcement to every citizen in the residential part of town. So, here's the sheet", answered Tom. He presented the sheet to Drew, who asked, "Would you please explain this to me?"
"Sure", answered Tom. He explained, "This sheet is an announcement from the mayor. This announcement states that the evil alien army from Starmos City is coming down to invade Earth."
"You're crazy", Drew interrupted. "What do you mean I'm crazy?"
asked Tom. "Just hearing the thought of aliens planning to invade Earth is quite absurd. It is quite stupid as to why you think the aliens are invading Earth. Besides, that's a phrase that has been said from generation to generation to generation and beyond", answered the self-proclaimed savant.
"Can I continue telling you about this important public announcement?" asked Tom. "Sure, continue", answered Drew. Tom continued to describe this announcement. When he finished describing the announcement, he got up and started to walk out of the section of the house where the so called laboratory or office was located.
"Wh
ere are you going?" asked Drew. "Nowhere", answered Tom. "That's right, you better not be going anywhere", replied Drew.
Tom sat down on the couch in the living room which is filled with potato chips and oreo flavored cookies. The couch is an absolute mess. Cans of soda are found thrown all over the anachronistic analog television. There are only three channels on the TV. All three of these channels are adult channels. Channel Ten shows all news within California County. Drew sat on the futon style couch adjacent to Tom, who moved down as soon as Drew landed on the couch. "Why are you moving over?" asked Drew. "Because, you're scheevy, filthy, and you probably have lice. You're disgusting", answered Tom. "Maybe I do have lice, but that shouldn't drive you away from me", replied Drew. Tom jumped up from the couch and, leapt over the coffee table.
"What are you doing?" asked Drew angrily.
"I am trying to get out of your crummy quarters", answered Tom, who started to approach the doors. "Please, don't leave", replied Drew. "Give me one good reason as to why I shouldn't leave", said Tom.
Drew hesitated and then said, "Because, it wouldn't make any sense. Besides, I have a pinball machine. Perhaps, we can play a round of pinball." "Let me think about it", said Tom. He paused for a couple of seconds and then continued to say, "No, because your pinball machine probably has a bunch of lice on it and I don't want to be touching anything that has lice or any other crazy microbes that are walking on it." He started to open the door wider. "Oh, I have another reason why you should stay", said Drew. "Why?" asked Tom. "Two reasons. The first one being the fact that you probably want another person or figure involved in your group to evade and potentially stop the aliens from Starmos City. And, the other one being that I don't have any lice on me", answered Drew. “Those are two pretty good reasons. But, before I continue talking with you, you must do me a good favor, man", replied Tom.
