Chapter 1- Found Again
By Keiyo Meisato
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sun beat down on the large metal door of the Starwind and Hawking building. A tall, slim figure opened the side entrance and quickly steped inside. Gene Starwind, a handsome young man in his early 20s, entered in wearing his usual skintight black bodysuit under a lengthy tan colored cape. With a exasperated gasp he yelled, "Jim, how hot is it outside?" Jim, a young boy at the age of 11, sat in front of a repaired laptop searching for information on the net about any jobs that might possibly be available. He replied, "Its 98 degrees and they say its going to get hotter…" he sighs turning back to his only method of cooling off, a small fan. Gene walked over to the refrigerator against the wall and opened it, smiling as the cool air washed over his sweat drenched face. He glanced around at the random assortment of comestibles and sighed seeing nothing to drink except a small bottle of carrot juice.
Giving up on his attempts to find a suitable beverage, he walked over to a round table and sat down in one of the chairs setting his feet up on the table. "Any jobs?" he asked, leaning back and placing his hands behind his head.
Jim swiveled in his chair to face Gene, his long dirty blond hair swaying slightly, "There's not much to chose from…most people are too busy trying to keep cool…"
"Just tell me what there is." Gene retorted.
Gene watched as Jim turned back to the small screen and scanned the listings, "There's someone who needs their plumbing fixed?"
Without moving Gene asked hesitantly, "What's the pay?"
"120 wong."
Gene yet again didn't move.
"and air conditioning" Jim added.
Gene let his feet drop to the floor as he stands up silently. Picking up a set of keys on the table he turned back to Jim, "ok lets get going then."

The roads were uncommonly clear on the way to the Star Children Orphanage. It felt good to be out of the sweltering heat of the Starwind and Hawking garage. Jim sighed as they took the next exit onto the street that would take them to the orphanage. His sandy blond hair wafted as the wind whipped around him and he saw a tall two story house, made of brown bricks and a thatched roof, very rare for the times. Gene parked the car in front of a long walkway and they both got out. Jim glanced around seeing some old playground equipment and random toys scattered about. Jim had sometimes heard of toys but he'd never actually gotten a chance to see some. Although they looked kind of lame and childish, Jim found himself wanting to go play with them. He quickly shook the feeling away and walked with Gene to the front door. Gene hesitated in lifting a large metal door knocker that creaked on its hinges and created a hollow wooden thump when it connected with the immense wood doors. The two stood on the porch for a bit before one of the doors opened revealing a slim young woman wearing a knee length dress and apron. He shoulder length brown hair was parted into two loose pony tails and her forest green eyes lightened up when she saw them.
"Oh are you here for the job?" she asked eagerly.
"Yes we are." Jim answered.
"Thank goodness! We were about to give up hope that someone would come help us. I mean with this terrible heat wave and all. Please come in and I'll show you he problems." She smiled again and moved to the side to allow them entrance.
Jim smiled when a blast of cool air rushed across his face. The lady shut the door behind them and turned to face them again, "My name is Eika Kontoni. What are your names?"
Gene stepped forward a bit, "The names Gene Starwind and this is my partner…"
"Jim Hawking." Jim answered.
Eika smiled again then led them into a large room. There were small square tables set up around the room that were occupied by groups of children near Jim's age. They were all wrapped up in coats and blankets which seemed a bit odd. As the three of them walked through a couple of the kids turned to look then whisper to their neighbors. They entered a small room in the back of the house that was lined with pipes. This room was a bit warmer than the other parts of the house, but it was better than being outside or in the Starwind and Hawking garage.
Eika sighed and then motioned a hand to the pipes, "Here's the problem. One of the pipes is jammed and we can't turn down the air conditioning. We haven't been able to find it ourselves. There's some equipment in the chest over in the corner." She pointed to a large metal band trunk covered in dust. "Good luck. I'll have someone bring you lunch later." She smiled and walked away leaving Jim and Gene alone in the room.
Gene sighed, "well we better get started…" He walked over to the trunk and lifted the lid. Inside was an array of cobweb covered wrenches and other tools. Jim and Gene starred blankly at the ancient pieces of equipment. "What the hell are we supposed to do with these!" Gene argued.
"We 're going to fix the pipes." Jim retorted. He picked up a dusty wrench and turned to the walls of pipes and sighed. "Man this is gonna take forever…"
Gene was tinkering around with a large dust covered pipe in the far right corner of the room while Jim was in the other corner.
Eika stepped into the door way, "Lunch will be ready soon. I'll have one of the children come get you when its done, okay?" Gene turned and nodded and Eika left them to their work again. Gene hesitated then whispered to Jim, "I'd like to fix her pipes."
Jim moaned in disgust, "Is that all you ever think about…"
Gene walked over to Jim and bent down to his eye level, "what else is there to think about?" He laughed and returned to his work. Jim sighed and did the same.
Thirty minutes pasted before they heard footsteps approach the doorway. They stopped and a young girl's voice filled the room, "Lunch is ready." The bright voice of the girl echoed in Jims ears. Recognition hit him in an instant and he froze. The wrench that was in his hand clattered to the floor.
"Jim? What's the matter?" Gene asked, startled by the sharp noise.
The young girl spoke again bringing Jim out of his shocked state, "Jim?"
He turned and his eyes widened as he saw the girl, "H- Hanmyo…" Her eyes were just as wide as his own and filled with tears as she recognized the boy she met a month ago. She stepped forward and embraced him, tears streaming down her cheeks, "Its you… you're hear." Jim held onto her still in shock that she was with him.
Gene walked over to them with a look of confusion on his face, "um…Jim? What's going on?"
Hanmyo let go and step back a bit wiping at her eyes and smiled. Jim smiled at her as he answered his partner, "This is Hanmyo…. I met her back on Symka 5..."
Gene raised a brow still somewhat confused, then he remembered, "OH! So this is the girl you had a date with!"
Jim blushed a bit and Gene turned to her, "Hanmyo is it? Well my names Gene Starwind."
Hanmyo blinked and smiled, "Nice to meet you."
A voice from somewhere in the house called, "Hurry before its all gone!" Gene smirked and said, "Well I'll leave you two lovebirds here." He stepped out of the room and walked to the kitchen.
Jim and Hanmyo were still smiling at each other, then Jim broke the silence, "Hanmyo?"
"Yes?" She answered.
"Um… What happened… back at Symka 5? You never showed up for our date."
Her smile faded and sadness filled her eyes.
Jim quickly stepped forward, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to upset you."
She looked up and smiled a bit, "Oh its not you… Its just, I can't remember what happened back then… the only thing I can remember is you…"
Jim frowned with concern, "You don't remember anything that happened to you?"
She shook her head, "no…I can't remember anything else either…. the only thing I could remember is when I first saw you." She smiled a bit.
Jim smiled and took her hand, "well you found me." She giggled. His stomach growled and she smiled, "Come on… lets go get some lunch."
Jim nodded and they left to the kitchen to join the others.
