9: John

Tags: Me Review Science fiction Taken

Plot / themes
  • Mary Crawford, inside the UFO. Then a group of soldiers go in. They all see dead people. Nice - and not so nice. They get out, and the UFO leaves.
  • Charlie Keys and Lisa Clarke, still trying to get to Allie. The soldiers pick them up.
  • Allie tense. Then picked up by the UFO.
  • Mission over, everybody leaves. The military finds the artifact. A car with Lisa and Charlie.
  • Mary has an idea. They go back. The hoax is revealed. No UFO. Allie made a mass hallucination. And then she left in the car with her parents. She did it all to get rid of her "followers" - but she fears it won't work. Still: on the run again. Maybe burned out.
  • John comes for Allie. Defends her against creeps. Except Allie has her powers back, and can protect herself. John is shot. He comes with Allie and her parents.
  • There is a hypothesis, that Allie is stronger than the aliens. And that they will pick her up, now that she has demonstrated her powers.
