The Near Future VI. Rescue
[Instrumental]
[Plot]
They boy and the girl get in the car
And the girl directs them to a large
Secure complex on the edge of town
The boy had always assumed it was a
Military facility, but the girl insists that
This is where they're holding her grandfather
So they sneak in, using their powers to leap
The fortified walls and to disable the dark-suited
Guards they encounter. By moving quickly and
Striking without warning, they are able to keep
Things quiet as they penetrate further and further
In the facility
They boy begins to wonder what exactly this place is
From the outside it seemed like a normal building, but
As they go deeper, the walls seem to be lined with
Alien technology, more advanced than anything he
Has ever seen. He tries to ask the girl about it, but
She gestures him to silence and they continue onward
The girl leads they way as they descend several floors
Underground. The boy cannot believe how far down
The structure goes, yet level after level they keep
Descending until eventually they reach a floor that is
Clearly a high-tech prison of some kind
With increasing speed, the girl moves from cell to cell until
At last, she discovers the on that contains her grandfather
The old man looks haggard, beaten and near-death, but at
The sight of his granddaughter his eyes light up, and the two
Of them have a quiet, joyous reunion
Then, his face darkens as he notices the boy. In a tense voice
He informs the girl that there will be strong consequences for
Her actions, and that she can't even begin to comprehend the
Depth of what she has done
Of course, first, they have to escape
Together the boy and the girl are able to use their powers
To force the cell door open. But the instant the door swings
Wide, red lights begin to flash all around and sirens blare
From every direction
