Don’t Blame Me I’m A Martian-20

Chapter 20

Wow…

Okay I’m seeing Kaylee and I don’t really know Shy at all and I’m just…well you ever meet one of those people that just impacts with you. Shy is so doing that with me. I’m not even sure what it is about her other than the fact I really want to say Him when I’m thinking of them.

I think they might be Trans or something? He’s different…for one he’s a she. But…okay…tall, with long legs but not that exactly long sweeping sexy legs like a girl but more like a skinny guy might have long arms like a girl might have and slender body type but squared shoulders not rounded like a girl’s but well…their butt is so a girl butt and he’s got these small but perky breasts.

And these amazing blue green eyes and that amazing dark long hair and this really beautiful face too.

Just stunning and at the same time shivering in the back seat huddled into a blanket in a way that could only be girly but staring at me as I’m looking at then with this sweet in a shy quiet Emo-boy way.

I’m not even sure what side if me likes then because sort of all of me is kind of pulsing.

We pull into to someplace and I turn around and see the State trooper’s offices. I’m not really going to call it a building because it’s just like two floors with the cheap aluminum siding and stuff some places are better funded than others.

We get out and I look at Cheyenne. “You coming in?”

“Uhm…why are we here…it’s not about the stuff with the bike is it?”

“No I’m adopted and I sort of had this memory about my birth mother and I remember what she looked like so we’re here to do a sketch and maybe try to find dome stuff out about her.”

“Oh…okay.” There was an almost odd feeling and sound to his voice like he was sort of surprised or something.

“But we should report what had happened.”

“But I don’t know that much…”

“Shy…” I fold my arms under my breasts and stare at them. I know that they know who did that to them and why. I know that he doesn’t want to make things worse with this person too.

“Dylan I…, I’m not from around here I don’t want to make a bunch of waves.”

“Look Shy, you have to do this. If you don’t do this then it’s not going to be just you they’ll walk all over. They’ll do this to someone else, people like that enjoy the height they get from standing ontop of someone else.”

He blinks at me and bites his lip. “Okay…”

And then there is the sort of shift, Shy being that quiet and vulnerable and well shy just sort of slips or morph her into her for me again and being a girl. I swear it’s like if the way their acting or sort of feeling is more leaning towards one gender or the other I see them like that gender. I should be way more freaked out at that but I’m not.

Actually and I might sound like the freaky one or that I’m crazy but…I think that’s amazing.

And I kind of know that I’ve been doing something like that with Kaylee but stranger even. The other night with Kaylee I really, really felt like a lesbian girl rather than what and who I am. Which is in between, I’m a guy, I was raised a guy and I’m into guy things but when I’m really feeling being part female now I’m really feeling it.

Shy, makes me feel that it’s all right to feel this way, not just okay with the girl side but not the guy side but both sides.

We head inside with Mom who’s giving me this approving look and she sets me up with the county sketch artist and it’s actually pretty high tech with a brush/pen thingy and a computer tablet.

It’s all very technical and makes Photoshop look like a Nintendo game but we’re slowly getting there and I can still picture her in my mind as clear as when I first remembered her in that dream.

My Mother…

It’s almost like a photograph of her by the time we’re done and he prints out a few copies for me and mom to take out ad they start sending it out for queries to other agencies and stuff and mom even suggests Interpol where there was boat wreckage and boat licensing stuff too.

She’s looking over the picture and she’s looking at me. “You sort of look like her.”

“I know, it’s kinda strange seeing her like this.”

“You going to be okay?”

“Oh yeah sure, maybe go help Cheyenne out she looks lost as to what to do.”

Mom goes and helps Shy go over things with the officer and she’s saying she’s pretty sure it was Nicole Miller who she works with at A&W. I can’t help but roll my eyes at that. I know the name even if I can’t remember meeting her before but Nicole’s one of the townies that was all hater bitch over my Facebook page when I came out with what was happening with me.

I’ve heard a few things and she’s a effing disgrace to being a human in my book not only is she a blatant homophobe but she’s proud of it too. A genuine tea bagging little troll.

And she’s got a reputation here too. Fines and cautions and stuff but still enough that the cop’s shaking his head and my mom is frowning looking at her stuff on the computer. I’m not even sure if that’s legal but she’s doing it anyway. Word of advice you go out with a cops kid of any kind and I guarantee you they will look that person up as best as they can.

I speak from experience.

Shy’s really nervous I can tell it’s almost in every breath they’re taking. The trooper get’s evidence collecting stuff ad they go out to get the bike and bring it in. They take pictures and there is a paint transfer from the hit and they take pictures and samples of that and Shy rattles off her plate number. They’re actually sending out a car to go find her since there’s a good chance she’s here in Egg too right now. The paint transfer will be an iffy thing and it’ll have to be a two way street. If there’s none of the paint from Shy’s bike on her vehicle it’s just hearsay and won’t stand up in court.

They have to keep Shy’s bike for now as evidence and after topping off our coffee’s we head out to the truck and the rain.

Mom turns to Shy. “So where is it you need to go for this Druid thing?”

I’d forgotten all about that. Shy might have too because she’s blinking. “Uhm no, it’s okay it’s not a big deal.”

Mom’s like. “It’s important to you so we’ve no problem doing it Cheyenne. We are supposed to still have freedom of religion in this country.”

“Uhm are you sure?”

“Yep it’s written in the constitution.”

I roll my eyes. “Well doesn’t that just make it gospel.”

“Dylan…”

“Sorry…” I’m really not I’m so very much not into a religion that promotes hate. And that’s most of them and the ones that say they don’t and are still sort of the same thing…well they don’t do or day anything to stop the haters so…just about as bad in my book.

I’ve nothing so far again Zen, Buddhists, or Wiccans as they have really shown to me that they’re anywhere as bad as most of the others but I’m really not into religion okay maybe I’m not into hypocrisy.

Anyway Mom’s sort of semi religious with lapsed catholic strongly part in the family with some odd christian bits thrown in. I’m not going to get into that kind of stuff with her like politics. I’m going to be a sort of democrat I think. I’m not a fan of any of the current choices.

There’s a bit of coffee sipping quiet before Shy speaks up well quietly says. “We need to head here.” and he? shows us the location on the gps thing on his phone and mom nods. “I know that road.”

We’re still just sort of quiet with the short drive and it’s outside town sort of on this back road with lots of pines and close to some of the bigger vineyards. There’s a lot of nice wine producers around here and other stuff. Everyone nor from New Jersey see’s all the stuff on TV and think we’re this whole landscape of chemical plants. We are called the Garden State for a reason.

We stop and it’s just a clearing with an old driveway and a barn. “Here’s good.” Shy says and he…she gets out. I mean they there’s this whole guy sort of determined way of moving and body language all tied up with what I can see in the small breasts still stuck to their clothes and the really sexy butt.

Yeah…yeah…

I get out of the truck and follow Shy sort of keeping my distance not wanting to intrude but kinda curious as to the whole druid thing and the stuff they’re going to do.

It’s kind of anti-climatic at first there’s no dancing or chanting no talking but Shy just takes out these metal rods first and does this dowsing like thing and once the find “The spot.” They take out a bunch of steel discs? Okay they put them into this circle and I mean circle like just looking at it, I can tell it’s perfect.

It’s weird they just sit in the middle in the grass and take out this crystal cube thingy with rounded edges and just sits there. I can see Cheyenne’s lips moving like a prayer? No it feels like something really different than that and then there’s something? I don’t know like just something I can tell is happening like the oddest sensation. Like just knowing when something electrical is turned on even if you couldn’t see it was on. And I’m not sure if I’m seeing things but you know when you’re looking through clear water even when you can see through it you know you’re looking through something well honestly for a second it feels like the inside of the circle was like that and then it was over?

I might have been imagining things but the hairs are standing on my arms despite the rain.

I’ve no idea what I just…did I?

Shy looks at me and she shyly smiles and is putting everything away and it’s got to be maybe a religious thing or something but she looks renewed or refreshed or something there’s just something more there than the sort of scared and tired Shy that I’ve seen most of today.

“So….did I put on a good show?”

“Uhm…sort of I guess I was expecting a bit more.”

“More?”

“Mumbo-jumbo?”

Shy smiles. “Not a lot of that in my beliefs sorry just a lot of internal stuff.”

“You look like that helped.”

“It did, I feel better about things.”

“Get any answers then?”

“More like advice.”

They walk back to me and we head to the truck and Shy…opens my door. “Uhm thanks, shouldn’t I be the one doing that?”

“Feels right to me.”

“Okay…” Yeah feels right to me too.

Mom smiles and looks at us both. “You two feel like eating?”

I look at Shy and I look at Mom and we both say. “Sure, just not A&W.” in stereo.
