Romeo found a clearing in the Forest. It was nearly dark now, so he was lucky to find it in this half-light.
The boy pulled up his hood and settle down soft floor. He remembered his handgun when he lent on it. Which he then placed next to him. It reminded him to load up the clip with the ammo he'd stolen too.
He closed his eyes.
It was a warm night...
His mind wandered over the days events...
With that a deep roaring noise bolted over head and Romeo opened his eyes to see a fireball rage over head, and then out of sight behind the trees. An earth shattering boom rose up as it hit the ground...

The drive towards their destination was an uncomfortable one... the car was going at some speed, drove by anixety and curiousity itself. As they got closer and closer to the forest, the bumps and dips in the dusty road got larger and more frequent. The Sheriff skidded the car in time before they hit the dense trees, dust being chucked up around them, the headlights showing every particle that fell to the floor in silence. The two of them just sat there, maybe out of fright, for a short while, finally, Diego reaching for the door handle, opening it in silence before stepping out, dark eyes met by an even darker forest that lay ahead, a faint trail of smoke whisping out through the tops of the trees... it was a mysteriously scary scene...

Romeo got to his feet hastily, without forgetting his gun. Without thinking he began tearing towards the crash-site, seeing if he could help anyone.
The journey was very shortlived, only making it about 30 yards before almost running into a man with his back to him. A naked man, about a third of Romeo's size. He cast an eery shadow from the fire in the distance. The boy began shuffling backwards on the ground, completley surprised by this new figure only meters from where he was about to sleep.

Diego stood in silence for a while longer, a faint fizzing and crackling could only just be heard... the crash site must be quite deep into the forest. Eyes glanced to the sheriff, still sat in the drivers seat, gazing into the depths of the trees. Diego lent an arm in through the window, popping open the glove compartment, to retrieve a small flash light. After flicking its switch and shaking it around a few times, the dim light flickered on... it would have to do. "C'mon, sheriff, we gotta' check this out..." he said, curiosity showing in his voice, seeming dominant over the feeling of fear. With that, he shone the light through the trees, taking off into the forest at a slow jog... the light wouldn't last forever...

Romeo lifted the glock, his shakey aim in line with the mans head. If it was a man...
The thing began to turn around, slowly at first, with only one half of its head illuminated. It was definatly not human...
It's eyes of pure onyx scanned the air around, looking through the trees...
Romeo didn't think logically, and panicked, pulling the trigger back. The burst of bullets tore from the barrel, through the air with a harsh whistle and devoured the thing's head, pulling chunks from behind and embedding them into trees.
The alien collapsed under it's wieght, which was now significantly lighter...

The Sheriff tried to keep up with his younger companion. He wasn't as fit as he used to be, and it was taking its toll on him.
He stopped for air, and rested against a tree. He watched Diego get further ahead, and that's when he heard it;
The gun burst richoceted through the air, filling the air with the sickly sound of death.

Unaware that the sheriff hadn't kept up with him, Diego kept running, the flashlight allowing him to see just a short distance infront of him. He froze, skidding to a halt, at the noise of a gunshot, echoeing around the otherwise-silent forest. Glancing over his shoulder, he finally realised the darkness had swallowed the sheriff, and he was on his own. In the distance he could just hear sparking and fizzing... the wreckage must be near by, he thought pressing on deeper into the forest until finally he met the commotion front on... there was a youngster, he couldn't see his face, a gun clasped in his hand, his back towards Diego. For now, he decided to take cover behind a large oak tree, peering only slightly around the corner, spying on the youngster, trying to find out what was going on... waiting for the sheriff to catch up, hoping he would know what to do...

Romeo dropped the gun, agast in the damage it caused. He was seeing things, he must have been.
The body looked a greyish green, even in this dim light...

The Sheriff was now in almost complete darkness. The running coupled with the startling gun shot had a strange affect on his body - he felt weak, shakey...old.
Snap out of it, Nate.
Snap out of it.
He clenched his fists and pressed forward, towards where he thought Diego would be.
The Sheriff was in luck, and soon found himself behind his large comrade, who now seemed to watch a younger man buckle to the floor. Nate spotted a body nearby.
A horrible sound began to fill the air. Crackling, burning wood. The forest was catching on fire...

Diego's eyes widened as they picked out the, pretty much headless, body lying coldly on the forest floor... it was abovious it wasn't human, at least not your typical one...
He was slightly reassured as he heard the quiet, fast breaths of the sheriff behind him once more. The feeling soon went as his ears flooded with the sound of one hell-of-a fire brewing. If they didn't make it out, the fire would surround them, leaving them to die a helpless death... something Diego wasn't ready for.
He look to the sheriff and then to the dazed kid a short distance away... there had to be alot of evidence in the scene, that could essentially prove that it was some sort of alien... but it was sure to be lost amidst the flames... what were they going to do?

Romeo looked horrified, as he looked up at the two new men. He had to get outta here, fast.
Without further-ado, Romeo grabbed his bag, quickly shot a look at the handgun, then took off away from the dead 'man', and the other two.
"HEY! GET BACK HERE, YOU SON OF A BITCH! Nate shouted reaching for his gun. There was no way in hell he'd catch the little bastard, Diego knew that too.

Diego just stared at the kid as he ran off... obviously scared out of his mind. He wasn't even going to try to catch him... 1) it wasn't his job too 2) the kid could easily out-run the two anyway.
Looking at the sheriff he sighed "Call the damn fire brigade!" he snapped, making his way towards the strange corpse that lay upon the forest floor. He rolled his sleeves up, feeling the sweat on his forehead heat at the growing flames from the , obviously close, crashed craft. He bent down and took hold of the legs, easily dragging it towards the sheriff, awaiting his help... they needed to get this thing out of here...

Nate didn't need to. He could hear the distant siren of the only fire truck. The Sheriff grasped one of the cold legs of the being, and began to drag it away from the scene.
Damn. He wanted sure evidence of UFO's, why did it all have to be burning away?
Didn't matter too much though, he consolled; Nate was now in possesion of something more 'concrete'.
