And the being with the long shaggy hair asked the other:

“Is he the one?”

“I’m not sure.” Replied the other being with a tone of fear in his voice.

“Then use your scanner and check him for the marker.”

“Well, this isn’t the child there is a small variation. We can still do better.

“Then lets check with the counsel on which is our next target.” The two beings then suddenly appeared in a house on the other side of the world.

“Use your scanner to check this child.”

“Just give me a second to analyze the data.”

“Well hurry up the child’s parents are still awake downstairs.” Just as the shaggy haired one frantically said this they could hear foot steps coming up the stairs.

“Yes he is the one our entire race was looking for and waiting for lets get him to our people.”

“Get out the device.” The second being pulled out a small device, placed it on the child’s chest and a second later the child was gone. When the two beings returned to their home world they were greeted by a big booming voice.

“This is the high counselor, you have done a great service to your species. But the task at hand is far from complete.”

“We know this high lord.” Replied the first being, swelling with stupendous pride.

“Then you must also know what must be done to save our species from utter extinction?”

“Yes high lord.” Replied the shaggy haired being.

“Then proceed with your assigned tasks. Do not dawdle there is much to be done and survival hangs in the balance of speed and slowness.”

“Yes high lord.” Replied both of the beings. They both then bowed in synchronization almost touching their noses to the cold stone floor they stood on.

“We must hurry.” Said the first being.

“I know, my very wife is affected by the disease.”

“Then I trust you know the importance of this child we escort?”

“Yes.” Replied the shaggy haired being with a tone of haste and regret in his voice.

“Then we must get this child to the doctors who will perform the procedure.” As the two beings conversed they walked swiftly towards the vehicle that already contained the child and that would carry them to the laboratory. The reason this single child would be the savior of an entire civilization is not what he would do physically but what will be done with his genes. The child that they abducted had a rare form of dwarfism that made him short compared to other dwarfs.

What the aliens were going to do with the child was isolate his dwarf genes and splice them into their own. This is because their race was growing so tall and large that their hearts couldn’t support their bodies. So they needed to get shorter and this child was their answer.

But not all of the race was happy with violating this child’s rights as an individual and for interfering with evolution itself. There are some who think that their race deserves to die and maybe even God had said this himself. They think this because their size disorder came to their planet on an asteroid that suddenly appeared out of a nebula. Some believe that this disease was merely a challenge created by God to test their will to live and survive. But so far their species has been losing this challenge.

All the members of the high counsel eventually agreed on searching distant planets for a possible way to stop this disease from ravaging their people. They eventually came to Earth and found this rare disorder in which people were just small. Their world’s finest scientists finally concluded that if they spliced this gene into their own that it would equal out the disease.

Once the group arrived at the laboratory that would save their species the child was given a sedative to help with the procedure.

“Be careful, that child is our species only hope.” Said a very professional, clean looking man wearing a lab coat.

“We’ll carry him in and place him on a hover cart so we can move him to the operation room then onto the table.”

“Get a hover cart over here!” shouted the shaggy haired man. A few seconds later a steward arrived with the cart and looked at the child and her eyes filled with the hope that had been gone for nearly 5 years.

“O.K. move the child carefully off the cart and onto the table.”

“Good job everybody, now it’s time for the doctors to do theirs.”

“Put the child into the scanner and find the exact location where his dwarf gene is located so we know where to start.”

“We have found the gene now we need to extract it.”

“Move the child back onto the table and put the disk over him.”

“Target a single cell and extract its genetic sequences.”

“We have the sequences now we are moving them over into the analyzing chamber.”

“Very nice work everybody, now we need to see if our equipment can synthesize more of the piece of code we need.”

“Take the child out of here and give him back to the brave agents who extracted him.” As the doctors and scientist worked on the genetic splicing procedure the orderlies moved the child out of the lab and took him back to the agents who found him.

“I really hope they were able to find what they needed, because they don’t think my wife will make it through the end of the month and she needs help now.

“Calm down, there’s nothing you can do about it. All we can do is wait out here for the child so we can return him to his world.

“Fine, but I want to do this as quickly as possible.”

“Don’t worry, it’ll only take all of 5 minutes to calibrate the main transporter and beam him back to his room. Besides look on the bright side, we and our families are going to be the first of our kind treated.”

“I guess your right, look the orderlies are bringing out the child now.”

“Our job is almost complete all we have to do is return him to his world.”

“Get him into the vehicle and take all three of us to the transporter facility.” But as the car was driving a speeding truck smashed in the left side of the vehicle instantly killing both of the agents and leaving the driver and child unharmed.

“What in Gods name was that?” Shouted the enraged and frightened driver as he got out of his car and examined it.

“Give me the child!” Demanded the driver of the truck, holding a pistol and pointing it at the child.

“Just take him out of the back seat. He is no longer needed, our scientists have already completed the procedure and have the cure.”

“Well if you truly believe that you are a poor old fool. The disease on the asteroid was actually created by the government. They have had the cure this entire time letting us think we were all going to die.”

“Then why did we need the child?”

“We didn’t, the child was just a cover up for the real operation. What they really did with the child was take bacteria off of him to create a bio weapon that would be released on the world after it was rid of the growth disease.”

“Then why do you want the child?”

“To create a vaccine and to hopefully save as many lives as possible.” Then just after this was said a high yield warhead designed precisely for peace keeping vaporized the two drivers and the only hope for the world’s survival, the child. But there was one thing the scientists weren’t counting on, mutation of the diseases extracted from the child. So the vaccine didn’t work and the entire species was wiped out. All because of the greed of a single man. The president’s aide that suggested this entire charade in the first place to help the president keep permanent power.
