This can’t be good.

Night had descended, and Picknar, Thoos, Jo, Knox and Rodrigo had left the house. Purrloin chased after them, and when Knox noticed this he said, “gah. Who let the cat out? Purrloin, go back to the house.” Sounds of wheels squealing to a stop was heard, and they all turned to see a group of trucks parked around the Knox and Rodrigo’s house. As the trucks revved their engines, Thoos said, “how nice, your friend Craig brought his buddies to stop by to say hello! Should we go back?” Hiding his face from the lights with his hand, Knox said, “come on, a better idea is to pray they don’t see us.” Smiling understandingly, Thoos said, “right. I forget that social anxiety is a thing for some people.”

I’m sure the cat’s got a tongue and will be using it soon.
For those like me who had forgotten Craig, I found this: Craig and Knoxy, made easy by Christopher typing out the text so a Google search worked great.
i appreciate your research and the link, though honestly i’m still lost, lol.
When ETs phone home, it tends to attract attention.
I don’t understand what’s happening. Craig didn’t seem that interested in Knox’s hypothetical alien question at the time.
@Nomi, hm. That’s fair.
I thought the fact that he made it clear that he viewed aliens as lawbreakers, and Knox immediately went on the defensive, that Craig showing up with some of his militia buddies wasn’t totally out of place. But yes, I could have played it up more.
after re-reading the Craig-Knox pages i’m with you, Nomi. i had no idea what was going on here. even with Christopher replying to you i’m still like, “wait, Christopher, are you sure that’s what’s happening?” o.O
Ohhh, bad news. I could see Craig getting some of his off-duty cop friends involved, but if these are more serious right-wingers or militia types conclusions will be jumped to almost as fast as guns drawn and triggers pulled. These are by definition not reasonable types. Nor do they tend to even listen to people, let alone try to understand them.
If any of them saw the “War of The Worlds” TV series as a kid, the suspicion of a similar kind of parasitic monster is at least worth investigating, with that frame of reference. Jumping to it as a sure conclusion is the problem.
It’s a good thing that the given co-ordinates were a park and not their house.
Tho the aliens landing on the house — and the racists — would be darkly funny. Just so long as the kitty survives!
