12
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: was turning eight on October seventh. Happy birthday to you all.

13
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: I hope you have a wonderful day. This is the

14
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,839
Speaker 1: tenth part in our Transfer Students series. In part nine,

15
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,199
Speaker 1: the Solving a Mystery club had found another mystery to solve.

16
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: It was lights in the sky at night, and they

17
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: decided that a sleepover was the best approach for trying

18
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: to solve this case. Red is concerned that the lights

19
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: might have something to do with the aid and is

20
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: worried about what the group might find out the transfer

21
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: student part ten the nightcase. Red hadn't slept well the

22
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: night before, and the school day was long, with both

23
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: tests and an English class that seemed to go on forever.

24
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: So as she sat waiting for her mother to get

25
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: ready to drive her to the sleepover, her eyes started

26
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: to droop a bit, and she caught herself in a

27
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: big yawn. Why did we have to study that old

28
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: English language today? She thought? I had to concentrate so

29
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: hard to keep up. It made me tired. Sciences were

30
00:02:53,840 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 1: Red's forte and what was emphasized at her old schools.

31
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: Communication ability was about the same as her classmates, and

32
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: most mistakes she made came across as more of a

33
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: quirk than any kind of deficiency. But English class was

34
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: still her weakest. English used to be fun. She and

35
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 1: her friends would practice speaking it when they hung out

36
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: at the Outer Rings, but studying these old books was

37
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: very boring. Red knew that English class wasn't the real

38
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: reason she was tired. She kept worrying till laid into

39
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: the night that the new case, the solving a mystery

40
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: club was involved with, had something to do with the AID.

41
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: She had been very suspicious of them from the moment

42
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: they came to visit their home here on Earth. Their

43
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: mission was supposed to be to help Martians integrate into

44
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: Earth's society. The fact that this had to be done

45
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: in secret made Red suspect that they might be more

46
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: of a secret police force than the AID agency they

47
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: claim to be. Read. Are you sure you should be

48
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 1: going to your friend's house? You look like you should

49
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: go straight to bed, Her mother said, there was that

50
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: word again. Friend. I'm fine, I'm just sleepy. I'll be

51
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,559
Speaker 1: fine after I have something to eat at Rachel's house.

52
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: Are you sure? I don't want you to fall asleep

53
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: on their couch or something. You need to be a

54
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: bit lively. I'm fine, mom, And besides, my classmates accept

55
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: each other as they are. They don't judge much. Do

56
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: you have the snacks I bought for you? Yes, even

57
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: the spicy shrimp chips you made me bring. You like

58
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: shrimp chips, so why wouldn't don't you take the snacks

59
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: you like to eat? It gives me stinky shrimp breath.

60
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: Do you have your overnight bag, extra clothes, and your phone?

61
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: Don't forget your phone? Stop worrying, Mom, it's just a sleepover.

62
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: It's not just a sleepover, Red, it's your first sleepover

63
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: with your new friends. There was that word again. We

64
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: should go. I don't want to be late. Kurt might

65
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: eat all the pizza and I'll be stuck eating spicy

66
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: shrimp chips. Red, arriving on time, walked up the stone

67
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: walkway to Rachel's house. Her house was of similar size

68
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: and style to Reds, but with far more flowers and greenery.

69
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: Her mother still didn't know how to grow flowers and plants,

70
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: and Red had only recently started to like all these

71
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: different colors. As a reflex, Red waved her hand in

72
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,679
Speaker 1: front of the glowing button beside the handle of the door.

73
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: On Mars, most doors immediately recognized you and would admit

74
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: you with an announcement. That is, if you were invited

75
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: to enter. Those doors that didn't had a reader that

76
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:26,679
Speaker 1: recognized you based on your handprint. Red pushed the button,

77
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: heard the elaborate bell, and in no time at all,

78
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: was greeted by Rachel. Quickly. Come in. You are the

79
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: last one to arrive, Rachel said quietly as she waved

80
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: to Red's mother, The last one to arrive, but I

81
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: am exactly on time. Red said, it's okay. You haven't

82
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: been at Maplewood long enough to have Principal Burke give

83
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: you the you are either early or late speech. It's

84
00:06:55,080 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: a habit for us now. Rachel said, where are your parents?

85
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: Red asked, as they started walking into the kitchen. They

86
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: are hiding in their bedroom watching TV. I think they

87
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: didn't want to interfere, which is convenient for what we

88
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: need to do this evening. They will likely be asleep

89
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: by nine pm. Old age. You see, aren't your parents

90
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: like thirty five? Red asked, Yeah, isn't it incredible how

91
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: old they are? Hey? Red? Slow again? Huh, Kurt said,

92
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: with a mouthful of pizza. We are going to have

93
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: to get you out running. I suggest you grab some

94
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: pizza soon. Red, Charlie said, Kurt seems super hungry this evening.

95
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:50,119
Speaker 1: Kurt is always hungry. Alexa said, I have to feed

96
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: my biceps, you know, Kurt said, with a laugh. So

97
00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: we ordered Hawaiian spicy tie chicken and pepperoni pizzas. Rachel said,

98
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: showing Red the inside of the pizza boxes. Imagine fruit

99
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: on a pizza, Alexa said, shuddering. If I wanted fruit,

100
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: I would eat an apple. Red set her bags down

101
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: and grabbed a slice of spicy tied chicken, which seemed

102
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: to have the most pieces left. Since coming to Earth,

103
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: Red had found that she loved food with a bit

104
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: of heat. Spicy food was much different from what she

105
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 1: had before on Mars. Do you like the Tai chicken

106
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: pizza that was my idea? Charlie said, yes, it's very delicious.

107
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: So what is our plan for the evening? Red asked

108
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: as she sat down and grabbed another slice. Wait, before

109
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: we get started, I just want to say one thing.

110
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: Alexa loudly interrupted that last slice of pepperoni is mine.

111
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: Here is the plan. In the past, we have seen

112
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: these lights just as it turns dark outside. The first

113
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: few times I noticed it, I was in the kitchen

114
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: getting something to drink after I had gone to bed,

115
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: So it seems that it waits until it is quiet

116
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: and dark. Rachel said, maybe the lights want us to

117
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: be asleep so they can transport us to the mother ship.

118
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: Charlie added, or maybe they are alien fireflies who want

119
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: to capture guys who always have runny noses and wear

120
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: their shirts inside out. Sound familiar, Kurt said, looking at

121
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: Charlie with a smile on her face. We don't know

122
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: what it is, Alexi said, smiling. She loved it when

123
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: Kurt teased Charlie. The two of them couldn't be more

124
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: different if they tried, and yet they were the best

125
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: of friends. Right. That's why we are looking into this.

126
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: We need proof. Rachel continued. It's a mystery for the

127
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: solving a mystery club, Charlie shouted as he stood up

128
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: from his chair, posing with his arm pointing at the

129
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: sky like a superhero. I thought we could turn off

130
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: the lights and pretend that we are all asleep, then

131
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: spring a trap when the lights appear again, Rachel said,

132
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: Are you sure they will return again tonight? Red asked,

133
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: They have been coming every night for the past week.

134
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: I'm guessing, but I bet the lights will be back

135
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: again this evening, Alexa said. I brought along some walkie talkies,

136
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: Kurt said, holding them up and showing everyone so that

137
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: we could split up into an observation and a capture

138
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: team capture. Red asked, I don't like the sound of this.

139
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: In every scary movie, they always split up into groups

140
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: and then something bad happens. Charlie said, with a look

141
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: that showed that he actually believed what he was saying.

142
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: You shouldn't be watching scary movies, Alexi said, I thought

143
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: we just wanted to get proof so that we could

144
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: understand what it is. Asked Red, concerned that if it

145
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: had to do with the AID, then they would not

146
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: be so pleased if they captured whatever this is. What

147
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: better evidence in capturing whatever it is? Kurt replied, But

148
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: how would we capture it? Charlie asked, I brought a

149
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: large net. Kurt said, so after we turn out the lights,

150
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: the observation team will wait in my bedroom on the

151
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: second floor, keeping an eye out for when the lights appear.

152
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: The captured team will be on the ground, hiding, ready

153
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: to grab it whatever it is when we are told

154
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 1: it is flying low enough to do so. Rachel said, okay,

155
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: So who is going to be on the capture team,

156
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: Charlie asked Kurt. Alexa and I will be outside with

157
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: the net. Rachel said, Charlie, you and Red watch from

158
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: my bedroom window. It sounds risky, Charlie said, worried, it

159
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: will be fine. Don't be such a worrier, Kurt said,

160
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: Since we will be hiding, it's important that as soon

161
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: as you see the lights flying around the backyard, you

162
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: let us know. Then if you think they are close

163
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: enough to the ground, yell now into the walkie talkie.

164
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: We will then jump out and try to capture it

165
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: in the net. Rachel explained, what if there is more

166
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: than one? Red asked. Everyone was silent for a moment.

167
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: Then Kurt said, we improvise, ugh, Red said to herself.

168
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: For the next couple of hours, they snacked on the

169
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: food that everyone bought, revisited the plan over and over,

170
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: and chatted about who had the worst taste in clothes.

171
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: To red surprise, her clothes were not considered the least fashionable.

172
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: The group thought that she had a style all her own,

173
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: whatever that meant. But Charlie was of course teased by

174
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: Kurt for wearing his clothes inside out, and so he

175
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: won the award for the worst dressed in the group.

176
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: As it got dark, the group got quiet. As Rachel

177
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: turned out the lights, they started to get nervous. Other

178
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: than the normal sounds in the house, it was very

179
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: quiet and everyone started to get nervous. The sound of

180
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: Rachel's parents snoring made everyone chuckle, but Red was still

181
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: quite anxious. Worried that the A I. D. Might be

182
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: watching the gang. Charlie kept shaking his head about splitting

183
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: the group and mumbling about what happens in scary movies. Whispering.

184
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: Rachel said, O, k Charlie in Red, take your position

185
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: and remember to be quiet. We don't want to let

186
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: whatever this is know that we are watching and that

187
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: we are going to try and catch it. Charlie in

188
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: Red walked up the stairs to Rachel's bedroom, passed the

189
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: sounds of the snoring in her parents room, and took

190
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: their position at her window. Jack check testing one, two three.

191
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: This is Charlie checking in Roger loud and clear. Kurt replied,

192
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: all in position. They sat and waited, looking at Charlie

193
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: Red wondered if he could actually see with those glasses on.

194
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: Perhaps binoculars might have been a good idea. They continued

195
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: to wait. The excitement and nervousness started to wear off.

196
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: They started to get bored and sleepy. Then Charlie perked up.

197
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: He saw movement. Did you see that? Red? See what

198
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: something is moving in the trees? A weird shape? Dark?

199
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: Could it be an alien? Guys? I see something? It

200
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: might be an alien Charlie said into the walkie talkie.

201
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: Red asked, where. I don't see anything over there in

202
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: the trees. Okay, please confirm location, Kurt said, in her

203
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: best secret agent voice. Now it's in the trees to

204
00:15:54,920 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: the right of the bench. Followed closely by by Alexa

205
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: and Rachel, Kurt slowly walked out to investigate net in hand.

206
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is a good idea, Red exclaimed,

207
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: watching them walk out into the backyard from their hiding place,

208
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: getting ready to execute capture. Alexa whispered into her walkie talkie.

209
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: Red and Charlie watched as they approached the tree with

210
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: the suspected alien floating about. Then, with a sudden movement,

211
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: Kurt lunged and through the net, capturing the creature in

212
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: the trees. Yes, victory, Charlie yelled. Red wasn't so sure

213
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: as they watched the others cautiously approach the net, which,

214
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for the movement of something caught, would

215
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: be very difficult to see in the dark. Observation team

216
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: come in, Kurt said over the walkie talkie, Roger, Roger,

217
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: is it safe to come down and see the alien?

218
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 1: Charlie replied, I wouldn't come down, Kurt said, because the

219
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: squirrel we caught is very angry. False alarm, Charlie said,

220
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: Sitting down depressed, Red watched as Kurt lifted the net

221
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: off the squirrel, which immediately chased the capture team around

222
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: the yard a couple of times before leaping over the fence,

223
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: likely to never return. Then Red noticed something in the distance,

224
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: green lights coming from a yard down the street, quickly

225
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: flying towards their location. Grabbing the walkie talkie from Charlie,

226
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: Red called out to the capture team, flying lights are incoming,

227
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: Take cover and get ready. Kurt grabbed the net and

228
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: hid with Rachel and Alexa behind the nearby tree. Charlie

229
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: was now up and watching beside Red as the green

230
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: light flew to the yard and then turned Red. Oh no,

231
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: he said, maybe it's angry. As it arrived in the yard,

232
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: its shape became more apparent. Red noticed its four arms

233
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: and something hanging from the bottom. Then Kurt struck, launching

234
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: the net over the top of the thing, which caused

235
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: it to fall to the ground. Charlie in Red stood

236
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: there watching. Charlie seemed scared. Kurt called through the walkie

237
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: talkie causing Charlie to jump. You guys should come down here.

238
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: Are you okay? Is it safe? Yes? Come down and

239
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: see what we caught. Red and Charlie hurried down the

240
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: stairs and went out the back door to see Kurt

241
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 1: holding up what they captured. What is it? Is it

242
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: really an alien craft of some sort? Red asked, No,

243
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: I know what it is, Charlie said, in an annoyed voice,

244
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: holding it up its lights out. Kurt says it is

245
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 1: a drone, a drone. Red wasn't all that clear what

246
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: a drone was, but didn't want to ask questions in

247
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 1: case she sounded weird. What's that underneath the drone? It

248
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: looks like a white sticker, Alex asked. Rachel took the

249
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: drone from Kurt and looked closely. It says property of

250
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: Andrew McKinnon. Andrew, that's stinker. He lives just down the

251
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: street from me. This must be his. His best friend,

252
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: Brett lives next to me as well. They must be

253
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: in this together, Kurt said, What is it carrying? Redd asked,

254
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: looking at the round paper ball that was being carried

255
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: by the drone. It says gag corp ink stink bomb

256
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: Alexa replied, So all this time, Andrew has been trying

257
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: to make a joke by trying to fly his drone

258
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: at night and launching a stink bomb in our windows.

259
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: Kurt said, Wait till I see his big sister in

260
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 1: Jim class and tell her what he has been up to.

261
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: Andrew has been playing jokes on us ever since he

262
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: was old enough to walk. I think my mom and

263
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,719
Speaker 1: dad will be upset about this one, and give his

264
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: parents a call, Rachel said angrily. Red was confused about

265
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: what could be so much fun about this kind of gag.

266
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: Obviously she had a lot to learn about local culture.

267
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: The excitement gone, Charlie let out a great big yawn.

268
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: Let's go inside and get some sleep. We can deal

269
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: with this in the morning, Rachel said, leading the way

270
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: inside her house and to the basement family room, where

271
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: they were all going to sleep. Good idea, Charlie said,

272
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: with now sleepy eyes. As they all walked in the house.

273
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: Flying in the distance was a barely noticeable blue light, which,

274
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: after they went inside, quickly flew straight up into the sky.

275
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: And that is the end of this part. Good night,

276
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: sleep tight
