"We need to secure this place. No one should be able to leave or enter without my permission." Mr Roger ordered.

He turned back to walk out of the room and so did the others.

"Adam! Please. You promised me something else!" Crystalina shouted.

Adam watched her crying. However he didn't help. He walked away together with his sister.

Crystalina watched him leaving as the door of that room closed. She was now alone, captivated in a glass container. Her tears stopped falling. The crystals that were formed from her tears were turning into tiny rocks.

"What you did was not right Adam. I won't spare....anyone." Crystalina said as her hands turned into a fist.

She stood up and walked closer to the glass. She was still in human disguise.

"I... won't...spare!" She shouted as she breathed heavily and then punched the glass container with all her strengths.

However, the glass didn't break. She heard steps and voices.

"This better not be a joke." She heard.

Soon, Mr Roger, Laticia and the commissioner entered the room. Some soldiers followed them.

"Here she is." Laticia said.

"But, she is a human. Are you trying to tell me this girl is an alien?" Commissioner Jordan asked as he raised an eyebrow.

"Yes. She transformed herself into human." Laticia explained.

"Then tell her to go back to her original form. We cannot bring her in front of the minister and tell him that this human is an alien. He will laugh at us." Commisioner Jordan explained as he tried to prevent himself from laughing.

Mr Jordan was not believing them at all since Crystalina looked completely as a normal human. Her transformation was genuine.

"But,... I dont know how to do that.. please. You have to believe us!" Laticia pleaded.

"Stop. You are wasting my time." Mr Jordan said.

"No commisioner! Whatever we are saying is true. You were not here when she was crying. Her tears were turned into tiny crystals. See inside the container." Mr Roger explained as he pointed his finger towards Crystalina.

"So, now you mean to say aliens cry?" Mr Jordan said.

He couldn't hold on anymore. He started to laugh.

Laticia looked disappointed by the commissioner's reaction.

Crystalina looked at her and smiled wickedly.

"Sir. Please take me out of here. They want to trap me in their games." Crystalina talked.

After hearing her voice, mr Jordan stopped laughing. He watched her closely.

"You... you can talk?" He asked with surprise.

"Yes she can! Because she is an alien. Can't you hear her voice? It's....it's different. It's extraterrestrial!" Laticia desperately tried to explain.

"I was stuck in a different planet for years! My voice is bound to change." Crystalina shouted.

She looked sternly at Laticia. The latter felt goosebumps all over her body.

"But why did Laticia and Adam said that you can't talk? And how do you explain those crystals?" Mr Roger immediately asked.

His question caught the attention of the commissioner.

"Come on. Do you have any explanation?" Laticia asked.

"Firstly, these tiny crystals have fell from my pockets. I have more in here. I picked them up from the other planet. See it for yourself." Crystalina said in her defense.

She then plunged her hands in her pockets and handed out a handful of tiny crystals. She then threw them on the ground.

"Laticia and Adam.." She continued but stopped after taking Adam's name. She felt a flow of anger and hatred coursing inside of her.

"Yes. What about them?" Mr Jordan asked.

"They told me not to talk. They said that if I talked as soon as I'd changed atmospheres it would be a danger to my health. I believed them but now i have realised their little game. They want to make you believe that I am an alien so that they are awarded with prizes. They are liars! In fact, It was their idea to pick up crystals and hide in their pockets so that they can sell it here and make money." Crystalina fearlessly said.

"That's not true! We never told you to pick up crystals. Me and my brother didn't pick any!" Laticia shouted.

"Oh really? See it for yourself." Crystalina said.

Laticia tatted her pockets and she felt something inside. She put in her hands and took out crystals.

Everyone were left mouth-opened in the room, including Laticia.

"This is not true. I don't know how these reached in my pockets." Laticia said with fear.

"Stop it now Laticia! I can't believe you would do that to me. I helped you to escape from those monsters and this is what I get in return? Betrayal? Shame on you...and your brother." Crystalina talked, trying to play victim.

"She is lying... she is an alien.." Laticia said but she was cut off by Mr Roger.

"Stop it now Laticia. What you did to her is inhuman. You are the one to be called an alien here. I didn't expect this from you." He said.

"But captain..." Laticia tried to change his mind but in vain.

"We are done with this now." Mr Roger said and turned to face the commissioner.

"I'm really sorry for all this trouble. I don't know how I fell for this too." He apologized.

"It's fine. Well it was a very nice operation with you captain Roger. I will leave now. And yeah, I think your astronauts need a vacation." Mr Jordan said.

Laticia was helpless. She failed to prove her point.

"Can you get me out now?" Crystalina asked.

"No!" Laticia shouted.

Mr Roger and Mr Jordan both stared at her.

"Sir. Please. Give me some time. I will try to prove it to you." Laticia desperately said.

Mr Roger led out a sigh.

"You were not there with us on the planet. Me and Adan saw her! She is the queen of those creatures you killed. Please give us a chance. We are among your best workers here. Trust us. Please. You know me and Adam better than this thing." She desperately said.

Mr Roger took a deep breathe and thought for a moment.

"Fine. I will give you only one day. Till then, she will stay here, guarded." Mr Roger announced.

"Yes. Thank you sir!" Laticia felt relieved.

However, someone was not really happy by this desicion. Crystalina balled her wrists into fists and watched Laticia with disgust and hatred.

They all leaves except the highly trained soldiers who were ordered to guard the room where Crystalina was kept in captive.

Laticia ran out downstairs and met Adam who was sitting outside. His brother looked distressed.

"Hey. What happened?" Laticia asked.

"Nothing." Adam replied coldly.

"I know you're not okay. What's bothering you?" Laticia asked again as she sat next to him.

"I don't know. I feel guilty for doing this to Crystalina. She didn't harm us in any way. I shouldn't have played with her feelings." Adam answered as he covered his face with his palms.

"Come on Adam! She is an alien. She doesn't have feelings. She was a danger to us. Remember how she was scaring us and not letting us return to earth. You do not have to feel bad. Whatever we did was good for us and the whole earth." Laticia explained.

Adam didn't reply. He just sat there with a blank face.

"Adam please. We have another trouble to handle and I need your help badly." Laticia tried to get him out of his thoughts.

"What happened?" Adam asked.

Laticia narrated everything about how Crystalina had managed to brainwashed Captain Roger and the commissioner.

"And we have only one day to prove that she is an alien." She finished.

"I think I know how." Adam said as he looked fixedly at Laticia.
