story cont pt 10

Roybin had packed a few sandwiches, just in case this took awhile. She jogged to the library, which was now closed. She could feel eyes on her again, and this time they felt menacing but didn't seem to be following her, to Roybin's relief.
Pretty soon Roybin was among the trees once again where she felt at home. "Hi Honde."
"Whoa...um." Honde's ears turned red.
Roybin thought it was strange that he went tongue-tied, but paid little attention to it. "So you wanted to talk to me?" she said.
"Um...yeah. Do you believe in aliens?" He blurted
"What? Depends." Roybin replied
"Depends on what?"
"Do you believe in aliens and what do you think they look like?"
"Yeah, I believe in aliens." Honde said.
"I guess I do. Why do you want to know though?"
"Can I trust you?"
"What kind of a question is that? Of course you can."
"Well, Leon and I are aliens."
"And you are in disguise?"
"Of course."
"Why?"
"Well danger follows our footsteps otherwise."
"So why are you telling me?"
"It's a long story."
"So are you really aliens as from outer space?"
"Yup."
"What do you need my help with?"
"We need to get to the council and stay alive."
"What council and how does it involve you and I?"
"The Cosmic Council. It basically a gathering of representatives, one from each planet. It's similar to a United Plants or Federation. There are those but the Cosmic Council was formed to fight against corruption, especially among themselves so it won't disintegrate so easily like other organizations. Unfortunately nothing is evil proof. There is a group that has a inside person but we don't know who it is. They have the Council under siege, proof that they have grown stronger. It is thought that they have a new driving force. Until the siege is lifted no one can leave or exit the council's building. The group has been tracking down those of us who can possibly be a threat. They've already neutralized or eliminated several agents throughout the galaxies.  Those agents weren't at the meeting because they had been investigating disappearing agents. I'm not an agent, but I'm highly involved with the council because my parents are on it. We need help." Honde pleaded.
"How do you know I can provide that help? Where is Earth's agent?"
"He's been compromised."
"Did you randomly pick me to tell your story to?"
"Something like that."
"Ok."
"You'll do it? Really?"
"Why not?"
Leon spoke for the first time, "The way is fraught with danger."
Roybin raised her eyebrow, "Life has danger. It doesn't have to have a face."
