To tell you the truth I don't really know what Odin Lowe is like, so please don't flame me telling me what you think Odin should be like cause none of us know and we will never be able to say for sure or not. If you don't like him as I write him then please send a few points in my direction but NO FLAMES! Thank you!
I'm Still Waiting - Part One AC 185
Chapter Two
Odin Lowe lent back on his chair and shut his laptop before looking over at the youth next to him.
Short dark brown moppy hair hung in front if dark Prussian eyes. The lips were set in a grim line and eyes were narrowed in slits.
Kaijin Lowe was staring out of the shuttle window at the black void of space. The young boy was lost deep in thought.
"Kaijin?"
Kaijin ignored the older man.
"Kaijin!" Odin snapped loudly.
Kaijin jumped and looked round. His dark Prussian eyes were confused.
"We're nearly there." Odin lowered his voice; sorry to have scared the young boy but he would never apologise after all Kaijin hadn't been listening to him.
Kaijin nodded and turned back to looking out of the window at the approaching window.
Odin sighed. Kaijin was his adopted son; he never talked, never made a sound not even while he was sleeping. Odin had been given the job of training and protecting the boy. The reason now, he was travelling from L1 to L2 was because the army Oz was moving about in space. It was Odin's mission to find and destroy any plans that oz had with colony L2. It was the first mission that he was taking Kaijin on and the main worry on Odin's mind was Kaijin's safety.
The small colony shuttle carried it's passengers into the only shuttle bay there was on L2 and Kaijin and Odin stood up, ready to exit the small ship as soon as possible.
"Ready?"
Kaijin nodded and followed Odin out of the shuttle, through the shuttle bay and into the streets of L2.
First impression? Scanky, dismal, cold, basically a hellhole!
Odin screwed his nose up as a gang of rough teenagers walked pass. Kaijin hid behind Odin, but glared straight at the teenagers as they eyes him with interest.
Odin walked away caring the two suitcases he had brought with him. Kaijin gave one last glance at the teenagers before running after his adopted father.
"Keep close Kaijin." Odin said, pushing a suitcase it to Kaijin's back to make him walked a bit faster.
Odin lead the way through the largest and dirtiest city of L2 to an hotel that laid on the outskirts.
Odin had pre-booked a room, with an ensuite and two beds already. A young boy, only about 10 years old, appeared to take Odin's suitcases up to his room. Odin took Kaijin by the shoulder and steered the boy upwards.
The boy left quickly leaving Odin and Kaijin without even a word, not that he would of got one in reply. The room was very simple, two beds, a small table in between them, a door off to the side to show a large bath and toilet, and it was clean. There was one armchair, parked near the door to the bathroom and the window ledge was wide and a full-grown man could easily sit there with out worry of falling off.
It was the window seat where Kaijin hurried too. He looked out of the window and find it was to high for him to see out of completely, so he climbed with surprising ease for a 5 year old up onto the window.
"Kaijin?"
The small dark haired boy jumped down immediately and walked back over to Odin and stood waiting in front of him.
"I'm going out for a while. I need to visit a few people. Stay here will you?"
Kaijin nodded.
"Don't leave the room!" Odin ordered as he turned to the door and walked out. He locked it as he went, just in case. Nothing bad was going to happen to Kaijin if he had a say in it.
Kaijin sighed as he heard the key turn in the lock and Odin's footsteps disappeared off down the corridor. He wondered back over to the window and sat down. He pressed his head against the cold damp window and sighed again.
Life wasn't very interesting with Odin. The man was always moving about and until today Kaijin had never moved with Odin, yet all after all those other mission Odin had gone on he still came back to collect Kaijin. For as long as Kaijin could remember he had been with Odin and no one else. It was three years ago, when he was picked. Odin had explained it many a time why he had picked Kaijin above the rest. It was the dark and mysterious look the very small youth had. After all that was what the name Kaijin meant, a mysterious person. Odin had taught him many things about training to be a solider, but one was always to follow your emotions.
It was that piece of advice that kept Kaijin from talking. It wasn't that he couldn't talk; it was that he didn't want to talk. There was never any one interesting to talk to. Never someone to share things with. Kaijin could speak, he could read and write as well but he had never found the need to.
Kaijin smiled as he watch the sun being to set.
"The things you don't know."
Odin crossed the street. He had done what he need to do for that night. It was near midnight and it was about time he returned to the hotel and check on Kaijin. He knew the boy wouldn't sleep unless he was there.
Odin didn't trust anyone on L2 and kept his hand on his hidden gun all the time. Odin was a street away from his hotel when he heard a scream. He turned to face an alleyway and he headed over.
"Leave me alone! I haven't done anything to you!" The cry was a desperate one more than a plea for help but Odin knew who ever the boy was he was in danger.
A cold cruel laughter came with the boy's cry and Odin stepped into the alleyway.
He looked round the near black alley and saw three men approaching a young boy. The boy was sobbing at them. Wanted to be left alone but they paid his cries nothing.
Odin watched with growing angry as the leader pressed against the boy and hissed.
"You would make a great whore you know."
That sent the strings in Odin fraying and in a swift movement his gun was out and he pointed it to the sky and shot it once.
"Put The Boy Down!"
Scanky isn't a word I know but I still use it. And yes Kaijin does mean mysterious person! I thought it suited who he grew up to be don't you?
More feedback PLEASE!!!!!!
