Hot Times in the Heights - Hansen Boys Mystery
It was near 11:30 pm as Paul and Jeff Hansen were exiting the I-480 freeway
at the Lee Road exit for Maple Heights. Jeff said," Paul, do you think we will
run into more Ghost Crews and Bands out this way?' Paul said," From what Roger
Heally of the Phone company told us I would not be surprised." About 5 minutes
later, when the boys in their Chevy van reached Lee and Libby, they spotted two
Midnite Express drone vans parked near by, and two open manholes with safety
railings and ventilation machines, with hoses curving down into them . At one
manhole, there were three pair of light brown pants crouching down by one
manhole, each with a pair of stick like appendages sticking up and at the other
manhole, three light green pairs of pants were likewise crouching with
sticklike
Appendages. Jeff said," Must be more of those ghost crews. I wonder if the
pairs of rubber balls wearing those pants are from the same alien invasion
group as those we encountered in Buffalo and Rochester." Jeff replied," From
what Roger told us, these are much more aggressive than what we encountered
back in
Buffalo or Rochester. Did you notice the single ball sitting by each
ventilator machine? Those must be the chasers." He noted that all pants the
alien balls were wearing all had black belts on.
The boys turned right onto Libby Road to head for their cousin Brad's place
located over the bridge just west of the Norfolk Southern (PRR) tracks. As they
came up to Broadway, they saw three more ghost crews at " work" all wearing
dark green pants with black belts. They appeared to be making no effort to hide
the fact that these pants were being worn by pairs of rubber ball like aliens
instead of human workers. Jeff said," Let's give these things a brief close
look."
Paul, who was driving then pulled up behind the first Midnite Express drone
van he came to. Both boys got out and snuck quietly over to the nearest open
manhole where one of the ghost crews was at it. By the time the boys got to the
manhole for their closeup, including taking some pictures, the 'chaser' ball
started bouncing wildly and that one and another went after the Hansen
Boys. Next Page Copyright © 1999, 2000, 2001 James H. Mancuso, sffworld.com. All rights reserved. No part of this may be reproduced or reprinted without permission in writing from the author.
