This is the sixth poem in my series. The usual links to catch up are below
Police were called and Lila was taken
To a police station and asked questions
What had she been doing?
Could they call anyone?
She took out the card from Jay
And handed it to the policeman
Jay arrived looking worried
Said it was lucky he was in Leeds for work
And asked why she was there
He said he was looking for aliens
Two had been tracked to Leeds
Then waited for Lila to call him crazy
Lila said her parents lived there
Jay offered to drive her
Lila was torn between
Refusing and finding her own way
Or leading Jay to her parents
But his friends could already be there
In the end, Lila had to choose
To give her parents last known location
And hope he wouldn’t figure out
She was the daughter of the aliens
And an alien herself
She hoped she wasn’t too late
The scene when they arrived
Was what Lila had feared most
Armed men with big guns and tanks
Surrounding the house
And suspicion arose in Jay
Demanding to know if she knew aliens
