barren she was unable to conceive

and yet nine months to the day after the

alien escaped she gives birth to a son

this is old news fox and i haven't got

the time now sir i watched jenny hayden

and her child for three years before i

lost the trail i even got a blood sample

from the boy

it was inconclusive then they

disappeared

but for the past 11 years i have been

watching

waiting for something to turn up on my

budget

and 32 days ago an item surfaced in the

seattle tribune about a 14 year old boy

who walked out of a burning automobile

bathed in an eerie blue light

and he didn't have a scratch on him yeah

i read it

the witness had a blood alcohol level

high enough to intoxicate the entire

appropriations committee

sir sir maybe the witness is a lush

i mean maybe he's crazy as a loon but

maybe he's not

all i'm asking for is a chance to find

out

it's pennies general it's pennies

airfare to seattle for me and a few men

they're ready for you sir

sir sir what if i'm right

what if i'm right what if that kid out

in seattle is jenny hayden's son

one week six men and you damn well

with him

i don't understand oh neither do i

you see i i loved him for his brilliance

with the camera

truly lunatic sense of humor and

i guess for the sheer sexiness of him

but i hated his callousness his

insensitivity

i remember thinking lots of times

if i could just have an effect on him

if i could see the tiniest

little change if once

once he just listened

to me

oh my god

hey paul edward forrester

i guess it's true what what you said

about who you are

together and you know that photographer

who was supposed to take pictures of the

subject and the kid

cassette tape up to his ear and he seems

to be listening to it
