Given the hour I felt a little uneasy, but opened it anyway.A young man stood there, the hood of his jacket pulled over his head. In his hand was a small package, wrapped in brown paper. He asked if I was the author Richie Green.I said I was. He handed me the package, and begged me to kindly take a look at its contents. Unsure of his intentions, I started to shake my head. He pleaded with me to find a little time to take a look, said it was crucially important to him and his friends. And then he took a furtive glance around to make sure no one was watching, and pulled back the hood a little, revealing the protrusion on the top of his head.He then said if I was willing to help them, someone would be at Arnie's Café on Willow Street the next evening to meet me. Before I could say anything further, he was gone.I sat down and opened the parcel. It was a manuscript, but not what I expected to see. It was a diary, a thick one, and its hundred or so pages were filled from the first to the last with handwritten entries.Intrigued, I began to read. I could not stop. It was three in the morning when I finally noticed the time. The diary had captivated me, a story so incredible it would be impossible to believe, had the young man not shown me the shape on the top of his head.I had to find out more. I went to the café, where I met with a young girl. She too had her head covered with a hood, but this time I knew why. She was pretty; big round eyes shining brightly from the shadow of the hood, locks of long blonde hair framing her face as she spoke in hushed tones.She told me her name was Lala, and it was she who had written the diary. She and her three friends were living secretly in New York, searching for someone, and planning to exact revenge on a major corporation for the wrongs they had committed.Having read her diary, I knew exactly what she was talking about.She asked that I write a book from her diary, so the world would know the truth.I could not refuse.This book bears my name on the cover, and the names of individuals and businesses have been changed to protect others, but in reality the author is Lala, because everything you are about to read originated from her dramatic words...In a quiet field in middle England, four teenage aliens live a peaceful solitary life hidden away from the human race.
