CHAPTER THREE
Nightbolt didn’t even ask her for clarification about what she meant by ‘aliens.’ He just told her to go on ahead and tell her dad that we’d be at the ranch as soon as possible. Although Teresa looked very emotionally distressed, she managed to get to her blue truck (which looked a lot nicer than Nightbolt’s) and head back to the ranch, while Nightbolt and I got into his truck and followed her, leaving our beans on the kitchen table. I was still hungry, but I forgot all about my hunger as we followed Teresa’s truck down the road to her father’s ranch.
As we bumped along the road, I looked at Nightbolt and asked, “What did Teresa mean by aliens? And what did she mean that they had been tormenting her family for so long? She’s not talking about illegal aliens, is she?”
