Story three
Showdown
Part one
(Dragon Trainer's POV)
"Gene!" the boy shouts as his partner for the third time falls asleep while he was explaining their plans. For you see recently they was nearly killed by a spacepirate as they neared this space station.
"Huh, I'm up, I'm up." The older man yawns as the boy glare at him with his crystal blue eyes.
"Listen, I just got word from the Internet that the spacepirate that is chasing us is a woman named Hanmyo. She is wanted throughout the galaxy for the murders of over a hundred people, and…
"SNORE," Gene interrupts suddenly. Whack.
Jim takes smacks his fist down on Gene's head as he rests it on the table. "WAKE UP YOU DUMMY!" "This is a way to catch two birds with one stone."
"Damn it, Jim," Gene mumbles as he knocks the boy fist off of his head as Jim begins to rub his red hair with it," you know that I'm not a morning person."
"Well, the early bird gets the worm, and this worm is worth 10,0000wongs." Jim shouts as Gene wakes up fully once he hearing this.
"Then what are we waiting for let's go get her," Gene rushes out of the room.
"Five, Four, Three, Two, One," Jim begins to count down after the Outlaw leaves, and once he had reached the number one the red-haired outlaw returned looking kind of ashamed.
"Ok, where did you say she was again?" Gene asks knowing very well that Jim never told him.
"That a very good question, Gene," Jim begins," that why I thought we could start question people early this morning, so that by nightfall we should have some idea where she stays." "I mean you don't become worth that kind of money by being easy to find."
"So," Gene brushes off what his younger partner had just said as he asked his question," what does this Hanmyo girl look like anyway."
"Well, all that is known about her is that she had purple hair and travels around with two cats." Jim spoke seriously to his partner who just smiles.
"So in other words not a Damn thing," Gene smirks.
"Oh shut up," Jim snaps at him," at least I know more about her then you."
"Not much," Gene mumbles to himself as they left the kitchen and heads toward the ship's exit.
Six hours later, Gene and Jim are sitting at a bar somewhere in the Sympa 5's slum area. Here Gene sits drinking a beer, while Jim sat drinking a milkshake.
"6 hours and we still don't know anything." Gene whines.
"Well, you didn't expect her to walk in this bar and say," Jim stops as a 10 year old girl with purple hair walks with two cats at he heels.
"Hello, my name is Hanmyo, and I'm looking for the Outlaw Star and a man known as Gene Starwind.
All the people in the bar instantly went quiet. It seems that although most people have never seen her everyone knew her name and the quietness of the room was their way of showing respect.
Jim just stared at her young beauty. It was the first time in his life he felt a feeling like this as his breath was taken away by the sparkles of her eyes.
But it wasn't meant to stay that way as Gene spoke up," I'm Gene Starwind." He gets out of his seat and approaches her," what are you going to do about it, little girl," Gene smirks as he squats down so that she could look him in the eyes.
"Good, Kemi," Hanmyo commands the cat who was mainly black, who rushes up to Gene with a piece of paper in her mouth. Gene looks up at her still worried that she might try something as he takes the piece of paper out of the cat's mouth.
"Wait," Jim yells as he finally regains his voice.
Hanmyo stops and looks at him as she thought silently to herself just how cute that little boy. She already knew exactly who he was. He was Jim Hawkings, the son of one of the universes best hacker. "What do you want?" She makes herself add a little snap to her voice as she talks to him.
"I just want to know," Jim's mind begin to swirl with possible answers as he tries to think of a good reason for stopping her," is that letter a bomb?" "Out of every kind of reason in the whole universe that one had got to be the dumbest," Jim thought as she looked at him.
"I'm surprised you know about that young Hawkings," she said shocking Jim and Gene with the fact that she knew his name," that is my favorite way to destroy my enemies, but I will assure you that no such thing is in that letter." Hanmyo smiled once at the boy as she walked out the door with the two cats behind her.
"Young Hawkings," Jim mummers to himself.
"Is there a bomb in the letter?" Gene mocks him.
That quickly snaps Jim out of it as he tries to make up a good excuse for saying such a foolish thing, but decided that the best solution was just to tell Jim to shut-up and open his letter.
"Little Jimmy is fallen in love, huh," Gene continues as Jim tells him to shut up again.
"I'm not in love with her, Ok." Jim shouts.
"Good, it's a bad idea to fall in love with the enemy," Gene smiles as he points to the scar on his face.
"Yeah, I remember I was there," Jim laughs as he thinks back to how that girl had given him that scar. She had laid him out with a good uppercut to the face, and because of the ring on her finger that one move had cut his face. Luckily she didn't really want to kill him, but if she had tried he had his gun pointed right at her head.
"Come on," Gene shakes Jim back into reality. "You can daydream about you girlfriend back on the ship," he teased.
"Actually, I wasn't think about Hanmyo," Jim retorted back at him as he followed him out of the still silent room," I was just remembering, Chocolate's uppercut."
Gene sneers as he stops in front of the boy causing Jim to slam into him. "Would you like a demonstration of it," Gene smiles as he turns and waves his fist in Jim's face.
"You can try it," Jim threatens Gene back as he also waves his fist in the front of Gene's face. Both of them looks deeply into the others eyes as Jim saw his reflection in Gene red-brown eyes and Gene saw his reflection in Jim's. Then Gene straightens himself up and turns back around as Jim walks beside him.
"So what about the letter?" Jim asks his older partner.
"I'll read it when we get home, lover-boy," Gene smiles as he rubs his hand in his young partner's blonde hair.
"Quit it," the 11 years-old boy screeched as the people turned and stared at the two as they walk down the street.
They was so wrapped up in teasing the other that they didn't notice the small white and black cat that followed them back to the Outlaw Star.
