I Am Number Four, pgs 214-253

Worried that Henri is serious trouble John gets the help of Sam to go find him. John again lies to Sam to hide his true identity of being an alien. Not knowing a way to get to Athens, Ohio (which is where Henri is believed to be) Sam comes up with the idea to drive themselves in his dad's old truck. Although neither of them have driven before or have their license they head to find Henri. When they reach Athens they park the car and decide to walk towards the address that Henri had intended to visit. While finding a parking space John sees Henri's truck and knows that he is close.

John and Sam head to the house where they believe Henri is located. A large man walks out as they approach and John instructs Sam to follow the man around just in case he is heading to where Henri is located. John sneaks into the house and gets caught by a man who is upstairs. The man is furious and is holding a bat ready to beat John. John begins asking where Henri is and the man won't tell him. John starts to use telekinesis to choke the man and eventually he tells John that Henri is in the basement. While releasing Henri from a chair another man comes to the stairs with a gun. Again John uses telekinesis to disarm the man and ties him up. Sam comes to the top of the stairs and is suddenly pushed. He is falling in the air and right before he is about to slam to the ground John saves him using his power of telekinesis. After this Henri and John are forced to tell Sam that they are actually aliens and Sam takes it rather well.

Henri then goes to the man upstairs and starts to interrogate him about the article of the Mogadorians. He eventually started talking and he said that a man had called in with the information and the man found it out by capturing a Mogadore and interrogating it. After they had published the article in the magazine three Mogadores came to the house and threatened all of the journalists that they would kill them if they published more information about Mogadores and if they talked about them. They also warned that people like John and Henri would come. As they are upstairs talking to the man the door opens and John sees that it is three Mogadores carrying swords ready for battle. Two of them are going downstairs and one is going upstairs towards John and they have to make a quick decision to run or fight.

This story is taking a quick turn and is getting extremely intense. John is finally getting more of his powers but he will not be able to defeat the Mogadores yet so I am expecting him to flea. It will be interesting to see how this section of the book will end. Usually I do not read books like this (about aliens and super powers) but I am really enjoying it.
