The Lost Treasure Map Series (103 page)

Sounds of
pounds of some heavy beast emerged, like it were there but not
there, and he was surprised that the ground even gave shudders, and
he wondered just what it was he had witnessed, and why he needed
the neighbors to confirm it!

He considered
how he could photograph it, and realized he could not leave to get
a camera, and wondered what he could tell his psychiatrist about it
and if he would believe that anything like it could possibly
exist.

While he
looked straight into its central region a massive strange dark
shadowed formation emerged out, and shifted about in the
surrounding mist, with the light behind it, from where it had come,
creating mind-bending shifting shadow shapes all across his front,
which weaved and probed their way about and to him, and he
occasionally stopped his contemplation of the occurrence to
consider what the hell was going on, especially as he had proven
all the events of the previous night had not actually taken
place!

In the end,
after realizing how the psychiatrist would react he believed there
had to be something solid there and that something was there that
he could not quite grasp, and he considered if it was a new form of
hallucination, and decided to force his brain into waking and
pulling itself out of it and grasping what was actually there,
realizing that something real had to be there all along and that he
had to get to the bottom of things!

So when the
shape emerged out of it he stood glaring at its giant monster shape
in the light and darkness outside his front door and in the end he
just laughed loudly at it, holding his belief that a hallucination
would not be able to do anything, and vanish!

It was then
the monster alien, the second alien leader, from the starship,
which had teleported itself there to make contact with him, Dave
Cameron, stood furiously watching him, wondering what he was, and
detected something and gasped in horror, and Cameron lost his
temper and started shouting and swearing at it and told it go away
and to stop bugging him, and he refused to accept it existed and he
grabbed the first object he found and threw it at it, and threw an
old beer bottle at it and it bounced off its head!

The alien
leader lost its temper and altered into an early form of its
species and a giant alien bug and it sprayed him with yellow slime
and tried to grab him around the waist but he avoided it and
grabbed another empty bottle and charged at it as fast as he could,
still attempting to force his mind into accepting nothing was
there, and he ended up frantically wrestling with it all around his
lawn, in the middle of the night, with him shouting loudly and
swearing!

Before all the
neighbors looked out their windows and come out houses the alien
and phenomena had vanished and all most of them saw was Dave
Cameron rolling about on the dark lawn drunk with an empty bottle
of beer shouting and swearing loudly!

Once again
Cameron got to his feet dizzily and feeling the drink and ran
blindly without looking at full speed and dived on top of one of
his neighbors, thinking he was the creature, grabbing at him and
wrestling with him, and the other neighbors managed to grab him and
carry him into his house, with him shouting out at it!

Later that
night he awoke, where his neighbors had left him, when he heard his
bell ring and he frantically grabbed a vase and ran at full speed
to the door and yanked it open and the monster smashed the vase and
attacked him over and over throwing him about his lawn, and thumped
him in the stomach, and he doubled over and collapsed!

The next
morning he was awoken by a paperboy in a heap in a large bin,
wearing his pajamas!

Chapter 11

The Last Alien
Leader

Cameron was ill
the next morning and was furious too, and knew it existed now and
he had enough evidence to prove it, and early in the day he rushed
out and met a guy in a bar, someone in the army had introduced, and
he bought an old rusted rifle and hundreds of rounds of ammunition
and declared war on the alien bugs!

On Sunday
night Cameron no longer thought about what had happened on the
pervious night and only thought of his wounds!

His last
thoughts of it were what to tell his psychiatrist on Monday, after
the weekend, and in the end decided it was not worth mentioning to
him.

After watching
and ignoring the news programs and endless newspapers and magazines
he decided to ignore it all until he had evidence the Prime
Minister was back from where he was!

He ended up
watching horror films and drinking until it was late and ended up
almost in the same state as the night before, even though he
intended to remain sober!

So when the
third and last alien leader arrived to continue the first contact
scenario he never heard the doorbell when it started ringing as he
was in deep sleep, and when he awoke later he rushed over and
grabbed his gun and loaded it.

The bell had
been damaged, and with it continuing to ring, and was bouncing
about on the wall beside the door and he ignored it and waking
neighbors, which he wished to avoid, even though the police were
looking for him, after they had chased him out the bar.

He
conclusively unlocked the door and rushed out with the gun and he
instantly saw something actually appearing in the thick mist there,
from somewhere else, and he blasted three rounds at it, and he
examined it at different angles, and while he reloaded the gun he
saw it was like seeing another world and something emerging through
a gateway, and he saw parts of it through gaps in the thickened fog
and saw regions of something strange in places, and saw a major
region open and studied it furiously and saw what was there on the
previous night and a form of chamber full of technology that was
part of something.

Out of nowhere
a powerful light emerged through the thickest formation of mist,
which made him gasp and jerk, and he moved back, and he stood
watching its radiance pulsating and illuminating his garden and
house out of the darkness, and he spotted one of his neighbors
glaring out a window and recalled the man from the previous night
in his garden and wondered why he had not acknowledged the alien
existed, and he saw other neighbors looking out after seeing the
tremendous bright light illuminating the buildings and their
bedroom walls, magically illuminating the fog, and he carefully
watched his neighbor’s faces studying it all.

As soon as he
heard the sounds of pounds of the heavy beast emerge he lifted up
his gun and aimed it at it, and placed bullets where he could
easily get them.

He instantly
heard the ground shudder and prepared himself, and he wondered just
what it was he was witnessing, and why the neighbors on the
previous night had not confirmed it existed.

What would he
tell his psychiatrist about this in the morning? He surely would
not believe anything like it could possibly exist!

The alien
seemed to see him as its strange dark shadowed formation emerged
out, and shifted about in the surrounding mist, and it rushed
through and he wondered what the hell he was doing and he started
firing bullets into it and shouting!

It jumped out
at him and stood glaring at him as he shot bullets into its giant
monster shape!

Cameron felt
his sore head and the drink and was furious at what had happened on
the previous night and rushed forward and started firing hundreds
of rounds of ammunition into it while shouting and declaring war on
the alien bug species!

He dashed
around the garden blasting bullets at it and the monster grabbed
him and threw him about his lawn until he collapsed and it dumped
him in bushes, and it vanished, just as a large group of police
vehicles arrived and surrounded his house and garden, hiding behind
vehicles with guns!

Some hid at
houses where his neighbors told them of all the shouting, and of
Cameron running around in his pajamas shooting bullets everywhere,
screaming that they were carrying out a planned alien invasion and
that the Prime Minister needed to arrange a Cobra meeting
immediately!

Chapter 12

The Monday
Morning

Cameron rushed
into the London psychiatrist’s waiting room late, on morning for
his appointment, and avoided doing his clumsy trip and crash
through the psychiatrist’s door.

Though when he
knocked and was politely asked to enter he rushed in and tripped
over his carpet and landed head first into his desk, smashing all
the objects on it up into the air and over the floor, and he
immediately started collecting the objects off the floor and
standing objects back up in their original positions, and finally
looked over at the aged psychiatrist staring at him insanely.

He calmly
studied Cameron’s face, and gasped, “You again ...”

“
It’s
me!” he replied, embarrassed.

“
Well,
at least you managed to recall the positions of all the items on my
desk!” he moaned. “I also see that you made it into this morning’s
papers”

Cameron gasped
and watched him show the front headlines of newspaper with photos
of him being arrested the night before, which now felt like days
ago, and gave headlines and articles of a crackpot running about
with a gun claiming there was an alien invasion taking place.

“
How did
you avoid being arrested?” he asked, curiously, examining his
features, unable to fully believe something.

“
I do
not know!” he replied, confused. “I think I collapsed
...”

“
Tell me
what happened from the start!”

He carefully
explained what had happened over the weekend and him finding
monsters at his door, avoiding saying many things that would
confuse him any further.

He clearly
thought he had made the story up to get his attention and Cameron
realized that he might not believe anything he said.

“
What
can I do?” he asked, after a minute of silence and him staring at
him crazily.

“
Not
much!” he moaned. “Ignore it! There are just some nasty bugs going
around!”

What amazed
Cameron about the whole incident was that the police had caught him
and he was free, and he wondered why he was not identified as the
bank robber and the person they had chased out of the pub toilet,
which had appeared on all the newspapers.

He wondered if
they had not recognized him in the mess and condition he was in, or
if it had been something else, and his eyes suddenly fell on one of
the newspapers, at a lower article, which told of the real bank
robbers being arrested and he realized how lucky he was and that it
was only the gunman that shot at him left.

“
You’re
...” the psychiatrist accidentally moaned, out of the blue, with
his mouth wide open.

Cameron gave
him a pleasant smile and shrugged.

“
Your
memory loss?”

“
Yes!”

The
psychiatrist started writing notes and instantly ignored him and
Cameron sat and rested, still exhausted from the night before,
trying to work out if it was the drink, hangover, lack of sleep,
the physical exhaustion, or a combination of some or all of
them.

This had to be
his lucky break – and he realized that he had actually talked
Sergeant Malone into arranging the whole trip to London and
appointment with the psychiatrist, and that his stay there now had
been extended until further notice, which had been told to him
early that morning – and that it could solve his problems and allow
him to explore and meet the Prime Minister and discover if he was
the Prime Minister’s twin brother, which the taxi driver had
convinced him he was, which he had not been so far able to confirm
or prove wrong!

Even Dory had
not told him if he was actually David Cameron’s twin, and he was
sure that nobody had said it to her!

“
Now
tell me if you have recalled anything new from when you first lost
your memory and what occurred afterwards!” the psychiatrist spoke
firmly.

Cameron sat
firmly and nearly moaned out loud and he realized how many times he
had actually thought of the incident, and that he had lost faith in
doing it, and realized that he could have damaged his memory
permanently with it! Yet if anyone could solve his loss of memory
and could have a way to do it then he was sure he was at the right
place to find him, and that there had to be many other cases, and
he would at least get if there was an answer to it and perhaps he
could help him accept the facts.

“
Ever
since I found myself face down in a pool of mud in a farm field
I’ve lost my memory of my identity and have been trying to get it
back, and I have not realized how I got there and can barely recall
anything I did before it occurred!

“
A taxi
driver I questioned later told me that he had seen me with someone
that looked like me just before the occurrence at a nearby
wood!”

“
Someone
who looked like you! Who could that have been?”

“
I have
so far been unable to find anything out about it!”

The
psychiatrist asked many questions and Cameron continued telling him
everything he knew, and still avoided telling him of the army being
there to investigate a suspected alien landing/crash, but he did
give him the strange dream of him as a werewolf as he was sure that
the incident somehow explained something, and he was now sure it
could be a mental problem!

Why had the
British army, US military, and NASA insisted there was an alien,
and investigate the crash site to such a degree, and he started
wondering what he was missing?
