Invaders from Mars Page #2

---

Hey, little fellow,

Give your mom a hug.

Later.

Help me, help me, help me.

You were shitting me

About that spaceship

crap, right?

Just forget it.

All the guys think

you're really spaced.

That's just great.

Sure you don't want to play?

No.

Okay.

We go tonight.

There must be no mistakes,

Or we'll be destroyed

at 12:
00 midnight.

No problem.

George Gardner

has been delegated.

What are you doing, David?

Heather!

David Gardner.

Stop!

Stop right where you are!

Linda! Linda!

Miss Magnusson!

David, what's wrong?

I've had it with you!

Mrs. Mckeltch,

what is the problem?

I told you this boy was trouble.

He needs to be

severely punished.

David, what's the matter?

He knocked over a

defenseless little girl,

And he's a little snoop.

Please,

Mrs. Mckeltch,

Why don't we just

talk with each other?

Give him to me.

Please let me talk to him.

David, go inside my office.

You're pushing it, sister.

I'll be back for him

in 5 minutes.

5 minutes.

Give me that!

It's okay, David.

Just relax.

Relax!

You don't understand.

What?

What don't I understand?

You know, David,

That whatever you tell me

Stays in this room.

I'm a nurse.

I'm here to help.

I mean, I'm supposed

to say that, but...

it really is true, David.

Okay, first, can I see

the back of your neck?

Okay.

Eating a frog?

I don't know, David.

That's some kind of story.

It's not a story.

A UFO lands in the back

of your house

And puts something in

your mom and dad's neck,

Then it gets your teacher

And the police

and your friend, heather,

And her father, Ed,

From the telephone company?

How did it get

Mrs. Mckeltch?

She said the frogs came

from around copper hill.

She must have been there.

Stay right there a minute.

Well?

Mrs. Mckeltch,

David seems concerned

About an injury to your...

to your neck.

My neck?

Yes, he says that you're

wearing a bandage.

Why, yes. I have

a boil on my neck.

A boil?

A boil.

I could help you clear that up

If you'd let me look at it.

Don't touch me!

I want the boy.

If you don't give him to me...

you have a lot of nerve, sister.

Oh, boy.

This is going to be a mess.

Okay.

Go out the window.

Now, this is the key

to my back door.

You wait for me,

And I'll come and see you

when classes let out.

Where do you live?

462 south royal.

Okay. Bye.

Where's David?

He's not feeling well, heather.

Why don't you come back later?

He's still with the nurse.

His parents will take him.

He's not well.

He may be in danger.

We'll sue.

What kind of nurse

Are you, anyway?

I'm sorry,

Mr. Gardner.

I just left the office

for one moment.

When I got back, he was gone.

What did he talk to you about?

He was upset.

He's having a problem

with one of the teachers.

I told you.

He needs psychiatric help.

Is that all he said?

Yes.

It was only a small problem

With one of the teachers.

Oooh!

Oooooh!

A, e, i, o, u.

You get me a pile,

Then you get me whittles,

You bring them both to me,

Or I'll have your heart

and liver out, David Gardner!

David Gardner!

I'll get you.

Aah!

I'll get you.

David Gardner.

I'll get you.

I found them!

Keep it down.

They'll see us!

I was down there!

I found Mrs. Mckeltch.

Calm down.

We're in big, big trouble!

I saw them.

They're bigger than

anything I've ever seen!

They probably think

I've kidnapped you!

No! They tried

to catch me.

They chased me

through their tunnels.

They almost killed me.

What? Who?

These things.

They're huge, ugly, slimy,

giant Mr. Potato heads!

Hold it.

I don't understand

what you're saying.

Come on.

I'll show you.

David!

You're not just

a crazy child, are you?

This is where

the tunnel opening was.

I don't see anything.

It's gone!

But I'm positive it was here.

I'm positive!

I swear it!

But it's not, David.

They moved it.

They can move tunnels!

David, it's just

too crazy for me.

But you saw the band-Aids

on the back of their necks.

Yes, but they're

just band-Aids.

Okay, we have to go to the hill.

We do?

Does it look to you

Like anything's landed there?

David, we're already

in trouble, both of us,

Because of my

helping you run away.

Now, I can make up a story

That'll smooth things over.

Your house is right down there.

Look!

Unload the magnotometer.

Coming up.

Can you tell us

where this is, Mr. Gardner?

Straight up the hill

And over into the canyon.

Johnson, you got everything?

All set.

Right over here, man.

Yeah.

Over the hill, he said.

Anything?

Not yet.

Does Gardner seem

a little weird to you?

What's his story?

I don't know.

Down here.

Come on.

You got anything?

Not yet.

Real strong reading here.

Yeah, I'm following you.

I'm picking it up, too.

Yeah. Yeah,

I'm picking it up.

What?

Found something.

Oh, no!

No, no!

No!

Oh, my god!

Let's get out of here!

Oh, no!

The field trip!

Mrs. Mckeltch took

the whole class

To the sandpit!

What are we going to do now?

I'm going to make a call.

Who are you calling?

The state police.

You missed the field trip,

David Gardner!

Linda!

Stop!

Come back!

I'll get you for this,

David Gardner!

Damn!

My god, what did she do to you?

Is your neck all right?

Yes, it's fine.

Did you get the state police?

No, their lines were busy.

Are you all right?

Yes.

David, there is

one place we can hide

While we call the FBI.

David!

I'm coming, I'm coming.

The phone's dead.

It's heather's dad.

He must be messing

with the lines.

Damn.

Get down.

Let's get out of here.

Where do we go?

Come on.

I know a place.

You check in there.

Shh.

In here.

David!

Come on, this way.

What in god's name

am I doing here?

But you saw those 2 guys...

I don't know what

I saw anymore, David.

I'm sorry.

I don't know.

It's okay to be afraid.

I'm not afraid.

I'm petrified.

Me, too.

Please, please.

Shh. Shh. Shh.

You hear something?

Aah!

It's okay.

We're the police.

We're here to help.

Aah!

Aah!

They must be tunneling

under the whole town!

I know they are!

We've got to stop them.

How? They're

everywhere!

Let's just get out of

this crazy place!

No. We have to find

my mom and dad.

Well, we're not

going back alone.

We need help.

General Wilson.

Who?

General Wilson!

All right, slow down.

Where's your pass?

We have to see general Wilson.

It's an emergency.

Base commander's office.

Sgt. Major

Rinaldi speaking.

Yes, sir, he's here.

Who?

General.

Provost marshal's

on the phone, sir.

Yes.

Uh-Huh.

Sounds like another crazy.

What?

George Gardner's son?

Those are the 2 guys

That got sucked under the sand.

Oh, my.

I don't like the look of this.

Okay, miss Magnusson, David.

Now, what's this all about?

David,

Has this got anything

to do with your father?

I don't mean to be rude,

But I haven't got much time.

What happened was...

No!

Let me see the back

of your neck first.

The back of my neck?

Yes.

Please, general.

He's serious.

I had to make sure first.

I guess I'm next.

Okay, go on.
