Chapter 2
We stopped at an old motel called burnabards at around 6 so it was still light out.
It was small with only 10 room and a circular drive way with an over grown garden in the middle, cigarette stubs lying at every angle an graphite at every wall.
Including the accessional broken window witch had been fixed using duct tape it all added up for a unpleasant place to stay.
The man at the desk was short, fat and hairy with a cigarette in his mouth and a shaved head with multiple tattoos all over his arms and his head.
He wore a singlet and short shorts and thongs that looked around 3 sizes to small for him.
As Dad tried to organise a room we went out to the car and fetched the soccer ball out and began to kick it around.
After 10-15 minutes we heard shouts and the occasional swear word.
Dad came out after a little while and told us there was a park down the road and that this may take some time, after that he headed back in and the shouts continued.
I thought I heard the words hobo, police and drugs.
"Come on time is a wasting!" Phil yelled, He Lil and Dill were already half way down the street leaving me, Chuckey and Kimi behind in their dust.
We quickly made up the distance but Lil was faster than all of us and had arrived at the park at least a minuet before any of us made it.
Before us was a park with more spray paint than seems possible, you couldn't even tell what colour it used to be?
There was also a big empty field and a basketball court but the hoops had been stolen long ago.
After some discussion we settled on playing soccer in the open field.
"Alright awesome let's get some kicking on!" Dill said getting a bit over exited.
"Who's got the ball?" Kimi asked looking from one to the other.
"I must have left it back at the car I'll run back and get it." I said
I set off running and got back there in only 5 minutes.
I started searching for the ball.
It wasn't were I had left it, I looked under boshes, the car, I looked in the garden and across the street thinking it might have rolled off but still nothing.
I suddenly heard laughing down the road in the opposite direction of the park. I followed the road until I saw to boys with my ball.
One was wearing a hoody and the other was wearing a tee shirt. I felt like yelling out but they were both bigger and older than me so I waited.
Suddenly they ran off and hid in the trees, a piece of string was connected to the ball and they had the other end, they suddenly lit the string and I noticed 3 small metal tubes on the ball.
DEODERANT CANS! I thought. They are going to blow it up!
I stud up from where I had been observing a yelled out "Hey you guys! What the hell are you doing! That's my ball!" I yelled
The guy in the hoody stepped on the burning string and the other came out from among the trees.
I was certain they were going to kill me or mug me or something if Chuckey and Dill hadn't turned up.
The two boy were around Chuckey's age so it felt more even if the wanted to start a fight.
The kid in the hoody went over to the ball and pooled off the deodorant cans and kicked the ball over to us.
The started to walk down the street but we stayed there until they had vanished past the bend.
"Well what was that all about?" Dill said
