      ALIEN OFFER

      By AL SEVCIK

      ILLUSTRATOR LLEWELLYN

      You are General James Rothwell?

      Rothwell sighed. Yes, Commander Aku. We have met several times.

      Ah, yes. I recognize your insignia. Humans are so alike. The alien strode importantly across the office, the resilient pads of his broad feet making little plopping sounds on the rug, and seated himself abruptly in the visitor's chair beside Rothwell's desk. He gave a sharp cry, and another alien, shorter, but sporting similar, golden fur, stepped into the office and closed the door. Both wore simple, brown uniforms, without ornamentation.

      I am here, Aku said, to tell you something. He stared impassively at Rothwell for a minute, his fur-covered, almost human face completely expressionless, then his gaze shifted to the window, to the hot runways of New York International Airport and to the immense gray spaceship that, even from the center of the field, loomed above the hangars and passenger buildings. For an instant, a quick, unguessable emotion clouded the wide black eyes and tightened the thin lips, then it was gone.

      Rothwell waited.

      General, Earth's children must all be aboard my ships within one week. We will start to load on the sixth day, next Thursday. He stood.

      The aliens supervised the loading as anguished parents looked on.

      Rothwell locked eyes with the alien, and leaned forward, grinding his knuckles into the desk top. You know that's impossible. We can't select 100,000 children from every country and assemble them in only six days.

      You will do it. The alien turned to leave.

      Commander Aku! Let me remind you ...

      Aku spun around, eyes flashing. "General Rothwell! Let me remind
