2 " Birds chirped and hawked in the distance. A group of them, maybe vultures, circled the sky. Rae glanced at the blanket. Those damn birds could probably smell Marissa, and the second everyone left, they'd pounce on her. "
3 " Yeah, there has to be a few screws loose when a girl asks you to drop everything to spend a three-day weekend on very short notice, and you say okey dokey without a care in the world. "
4 " Just one pit stop, Rae. One pit stop that won't even take an hour. Then it's over. It's finally over. "
5 " Mackenzie flinched. Struggling to breathe, she stood up and walked over to the table. "

6 " What did he want? What did he mean he was in the right place? "
7 " Mackenzie glanced through the glass doors. It was dark outside, except for the dim light from the front entrance. A night breeze swooshed leaves throughout the parking lot. "

13 " Grayson figured the Aliens R Us crew would want to spend the majority of their time near the open field because rumor had it, if you stayed the night at the fire pit and glanced over, you'd see a beam of light touch the ground. "

16 " Each step felt like I was stuck in quicksand. My feet were betraying me. I needed to move faster, because that something was Franco, my brother, my best friend. "
17 " Poe, come on. Don't be like this." She avoided his gaze, and that was killing him. He'd rather she yell at him than give him nothing at all. "
18 " How dare she not give in to his "vulnerability." There was only so much rejection he could take. "
19 " We're going to isolated woods to contact aliens. What could go wrong? "
20 " A chill went down her back, her body shivering. The hairs on her arms stood on end. She felt eyes on her. "
