Disclaimer: Outlaw Star and none of these characters belong to me, because if it did it is very unlikely that I would be write about it on the fanfiction.net. Instead, I would probably be working on the sequel to the actual television show.
(Story 1)
part 2
It was early in the morning when the rain finally stop, the night had been totally uncomfortable for me, and I really hadn't gotten much sleep. Today was the day that I decided to make my choice, so I slowly arose from my box to be face with a terrible situation. It would seem that I was wrong about the girls stopping Gene from searching for me in the rain. No, it would seem to be the opposite, because there they were, all four of them dripping wet just outside the alley. Damn, it was too soon! If they found me now I would be dragged back to the ship without a word. So, I did the only thing I could do, I began to look for another way out of that alley. That was when I heard her, Melfina.
"Gene, I'm sure that Jim is Ok."
"Damn it Mel, you have to be realistic." "People who get kidnap aren't normally alright." "He could be hurt, and I swear if anything happens to him I wouldn't know what I to do."
"Oh!" Melfina responded in a hurt voice.
"Shit, Mel," Gene responded with a softer voice," I'm sorry!" "I'm not mad at you, it--it just that I'm really worry that's all." "There is a space pirate on the loose and Jim is missing."
"I know," Melfina responded shyly as they continued past the alley.
"Man, I really got them worry," I spoke softly to myself, and I slowly found myself heading toward them. That was when Aisha yelled that she had my scent.
That snaps me out of my trance and in an instant I had manage to make my way to a fire escape and up to the roof of a nearby building. When I go to the top I began to chide myself. I had almost blow everything, my plans, my chance to make my own decision, the whole thing, and all because I had allow my emotions to take over me. Something I vowed that I wouldn't allow to happen again or at least until this thing was over.
So, I sat cross-legged on the roof of the build and watched as the small group enters the alley, Aisha was in front.
"Yup, Jim had definitely been here," Aisha purred. Then her ears perked up as I slowly shifted my weight on the roof from one leg to the other. "Huh, did you hear that?" She asked Gene who was behind her with Melfina at his side. Suzaka was at the rear, ready to strike if need be.
Oh, man I thought! Aisha had once told me that the Ctarl-Ctarl's ears are the best in the galaxy, but this was ridiculous. I was on the roof of a build, damn it.
This was when I got lucky as a small rat ran out from beneath the box I had been sleeping in and took off down the street.
Gene watched the rat as it disappeared around the corner, "I guess it was nothing," he replied dully.
"Well, my nose knows that Jim was here, and the scent is fresh," Aisha replied as she sort of sniffed the box," but I'm afraid this is where the trail ends." "I can't find anyone scents that lead away from here."
"Well, I guess, that means we're going to have to start searching for other clues." Gene started as he began to move piles of trash around.
"I'll think I will try the bar up the street," Suzaka added helpfully.
"Wait for me, Suzo!" Aisha yelled as the assassin began to leave the alley," I'll help you."
"Well, I guess than its just you and me, Mel," Gene stated hopefully.
"Um, Gene I was actually thinking about going back to the Outlaw Star and waiting for Jim there, just in case he got back before you guys," Melfina spoke lowly.
"Fine go!" Gene replied a little disappointed in her answer, and then she turned and left him alone. "Jim would've help me." He signed as he continued to shuffle around the trash. "All this crap began when he told me about some girl!"
I looked down on Gene and even from the height I was at I could see a smirk appear across his face. He then looked down at his watch.
"I wonder?" "This is around the time Jim disappeared when he went to see this girl." "I believed he said he met her at the park, so it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to check the last person he could have been with."
With these words, Gene took off from the alley and down the street. I started to curse to myself. How could I have been so stupid as to set up another date with Hanmyo at the same time. I then quickly climbed down from the roof and took off in Gene's direction. If I didn't stop him before the two met, it wasn't going to really matters which one I chose, because one of them was going to be dead.
