Fallen + Marli & Lalo (Fallen Invasion, #3) Read Online Free PDF

know it was safe for him to come out?  Was it possible for him to hear our entire conversation?  Could he read my mind regardless of the times he didn’t understand?
    I sat down next to Lalo, took his hand in mine, and using my mind to speak I told him he had to stay inside.  I’ll be back within a few hours.  Don’t answer the door.  And hide if someone tries to break in.   I said these things out loud too.  He flashed me a smile.  I could only hope that my house would still be standing when I got back and that Lalo would still be there either sleeping or watching videos.

Chapter 3
    L eaving was hard.  An alien was in my house with no one to watch out for him.  Something could happen.  He could run away, be kidnapped... I needed the chance to help him find his way.  I checked three times to make sure the front door was locked and got into Kallen’s truck.
    “Early signs of OCD?” Kallen joked.
    “Yeah, I guess ...” I said.
    Being that Millsee was a small town, it took a few minutes of mile long, empty fields to reach downtown where all of the offices stood.  To an outsider it was as though a string of little houses and parking spots lined the road.  No office had more than one floor.  No hospital cared for patients in our town.  Just a little make shift clinic that Dr. Telason put together.  For problems of greater proportion, we traveled over to a town named Greele, about twenty minutes away.  All we were missing were little tumbleweeds that were supposed to blow around deserted towns.
    As I sat in Dr. Telason’s waiting room, I stared into a magazine and reflected.  I was told there were changes in the habitat.  Dr. Stevenson didn’t care if we were fresh out of school or seasoned ecologists; he needed more bodies.  Five of us were hired.  I was the last to join the team.  And after happening to join that team to live in the middle of nowhere for a month, I came into contact with an alien. 
    “Marli,” Janene said, calling me out of the waiting room.
    Kallen stood up.  Why did he want to go with me?
    “Kallen, I appreciate your help, but I can see her myself.”
    “I need to talk to her,” Kallen said.
    There was no use in fighting him.
    —-
    W e both sat, staring at the door of a treatment room for a few minutes until Dr. Telason came in.
    “Hey, Marli,” she said as she shook my hand.  “Kallen.”  She turned to give Kallen a hug before refocusing on me.
    “Kallen tells me you have a headache,” she said.  “One that kept you from work.”
    Pretending to be groggy, I slightly nodded and closed my eyes.  I was “too sensitive” to the light.
    After Dr. Telason performed an exam, discussed the migraine that I “had,” and gave me some medicine to cure it, Kallen spoke up.
    “Alana, the other reason why I had to come with Marli was to ask you...”
    Alana studied Kallen with raised eyebrows.  I glanced in his general direction.  Kallen was about to go off on one of his strange rants again.  Correction, previously strange.  I hoped it wasn’t going to be about Lalo.  Maybe he had to run the meteorite story by her.
    The funny part was somehow I became part of Kallen’s insider group quickly.  Kallen shared the details of his alien ideas and strange happenings exclusively with Alana, Ren, Dr. Stevenson, and me.  Well, Dr. Stevenson received the watered down version, spiked with a few details here and there.  The rest of the town just got the water but enough to know he was a little “different” as they told me, aka crazy.
    “Go on,” Alana said.
    “It’s no secret that strange things have been happening with the animals and plants lately,” Kallen said.  “And we are late as usual, picking up on strange occurrences.  But last night a meteorite landed in Marli’s yard.  Now she has a migraine.  Is there any coincidence?”
    “Uh...” Alana began.  “The meteorite isn’t causing her headache, no.  At least I wouldn’t think so.  Did you get
