第三章
我們窩進各自的帳篷裡。吉米和納札爾一起，溫蒂和伊萊莎一起，花生按我的吩咐出去了，所以我獨自一人。我開始重述下午我們用餐時從村民那兒聽來的話，奇怪的光線以及綠色黏液是遭遇外星人的典型事證。我確信，只要進行更多調查，我們就能找到更多證據，關於——
「哼哼嘎嘎嘎嘎呃呃呃呃呃。」
我的思緒完全被那個怪異的聲音打斷了。
「哼哼嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎呃呃呃呃呃呃呃呃呃呃呃呃呃。」這次的聲音甚至比剛才更大聲、更長久。
我們全都衝出帳篷。吉米衝出來的速度太快，使他絆了一跤後，滾到我的帳篷這邊來。納札爾的眼鏡歪了。
「那是什麼？」溫蒂緊緊抓著伊萊莎問道，伊萊莎則努力試著不要表現出害怕的樣子，雖然她可能也嚇壞了。
「是怪物！」吉米喊道，盡可能緊緊握住我的手臂。
「山姆，我們該打電話給爸爸、媽媽嗎？」溫蒂問，她看起來真的很擔心。
「哼哼哼哼嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎呃呃呃呃呃呃呃呃呃呃呃呃呃呃呃呃。」
我們跳了起來。我以為吉米不可能再更用力的握住我的手臂，但他辦到了。
如果我們打電話給爸爸、媽媽，他們絕不可能准許我們留在烏敏島，我就沒辦法調查外星人事件了！
「我們今晚就都睡在同一頂帳篷裡吧！」我說：「你跟伊萊莎的帳篷最大。大家都該進去！」
我們衝進女生帳篷，擠在一起。帳篷大到足以容納我們所有人。伊萊莎甚至還有可以讓我們吹氣的小型充氣枕頭，非常方便。
我不想說什麼，但我希望花生在外頭是安全的。他現在可以偽裝自己了，所以就算遇見危險的傢伙，對方應該看不到他，也不能傷害他吧！
「山姆，你覺得這跟外星人目擊事件有關嗎？」伊萊莎問。現在我們全都窩在她舒適的帳篷裡，她似乎稍微恢復鎮定了。
「我不知道，但我會找出答案的。」我嚴肅的說。
「哼哼嘎嘎嘎嘎呃呃呃呃呃呃。」
……如果我們能活過今晚的話。

Chapter Three
We huddled into our tents. Jimmy was with Nazhar, and Wendy with Eliza. I was alone as Watson had gone off for the night at my command. I started to recount what I had heard from the villagers during our meal this afternoon. Strange lights and green goo were classic evidence of alien encounters. I was sure that with more investigation we would discover even more evidence of—
“HNNGGGGGGGHHHHHHRRRRR.”
My train of thought was completely derailed by the weird noise.
“HNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHRRRRRRRR.”It was even louder and longer this time around.
We shot out of our tents. Jimmy burst out of his tent so fast he tripped and rolled over to my tent. Nazhar’s glasses were askew.
“What is that?” Wendy asked, clinging on to Eliza who was trying hard not to look as terrified as she likely felt.
“It’s a MONSTER!” Jimmy cried, squeezing my arm as tightly as he possibly could.
“Should we call Mom and Dad, Sam?” Wendy asked. She looked really worried.
“HNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRR.”
We jumped. I did not think it was possible for Jimmy to squeeze my arm any harder, but he did.
If we called Mom and Dad, there was no way that they would allow us to stay on Pulau Ubin and there would be no chance for me to investigate the alien encounters!
“Let’s just sleep in the same tent for tonight,” I said. “Yours and Eliza’s is the biggest. Everyone should get in there!”
We rushed into the girls’ tent and huddled together. The tent was so big that all of us fit quite nicely. Eliza even had small inflatable pillows that we blew up. They were really handy.
I didn’t want to say anything, but I hoped that Watson was safe out there. He could camouflage himself now, so any dangers he encountered would not be able to see and harm him.
“Do you think this has anything to do with the alien sightings, Samuel?” Eliza asked. She seemed a bit calmer now that we were together in her comfortable tent.
“I don’t know but I’m going to find out,” I said grimly.
“HNNGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHRRRR.”
If we survived tonight, that is.
