Chapter 2:
"What do you want?"
"I dunno... What do you want?"
Tara threw her hands up in exasperation and stood up at the table.
"Dammit, Jackson. I want to know why you're going to Japan!"
"Just divide the property. Sell the house and everything in it, and give me my half."
"Listen to me! The property is under my control for the time being, so I won't sell and you won't be able to go on you're happy little trip."
Jackson lowered his voice to a whisper.
"Tara... I can't tell you. All I can say is that in Japan, there will people who accept me."
"ACCEPT WHAT!? You're a normal 18 year kid, plus you're still in school.. you just can't go running off because of.... because of... this."
"NO! I'm not normal, and after what happened, I have no life anymore."
Tara's voice softened.
"Jackson, you're not responsible for what happened. Because you were able to identify them, those guys are behind bars for life."
"It's not just that.. when they mugged me, I... I... at the creek, and that's why.."
Tara's face went paper-white.
"Those deaths.... were you're fault? My god, what did you do?"
"It wasn't my fault! They shot me, a-"
"They shot you? How did.... oh my god."
"Fine. I'll show you."
"S-S-show me?"
David moved into the secluded kitchen and closed all the windows.
He removed his shirt, shoes and socks.
"Jackson? What are you doing?"
He looked at her coolly.
"Just watch!"
Jackson focused. He thought about the anger and rage that flowed through him the first time. He thought about how much anger and pain was inside him, and started changing for the second time.
In a bright flash of light, he was done.
Tara looked in disbelief at the arctic fox thing in her kitchen. She stared in disbelief, she had heard rumors but had passed them off as rumors and nothing more. And yet here standing in front of her was one. She finally managed to close her mouth.
Her brother changed back and put his clothes back on.
"I've heard of others like myself in Japan... That's why I have to go. You handle the house and everything... I have to do some research." Jackson explained as he headed for the computer. He logged onto the internet and started searching. He left his sister to mull over the reality, he found a few message boards and left some messages. He went onto another when he got an email. That was fast.. He opened the email and read the contents.
'Take extreme caution, do not tell anyone you cannot trust. Reply A.S.A.P.'
"What the hell?" Jackson asked as he clicked the reply button. His return read as follows, 'What do you mean? Can you help me? What can I do?'. He waited patiently as he clicked the send button. He heard his sister on the phone in the kitchen. He quietly walked over and listened in.
"Yes.... Is this Tylon?...." She asked. For some reason Jackson could hear the other end of the conversation.
"How may I help you?" The operator asked.
"It's... It's my brother... He's one of those animal things... I've some stuff about Tylon being able to help them.."
"You've done the right thing... Don't do anything that will anger him. Give me your address and keep him in the house. We will send a team to your place as soon as possible."
"What do you mean team?"
"Some times they can be very violent, we need to ensure that no one is hurt. The team is specifically trained in negotiations and non-violent take downs..."
Jackson couldn't believe what he was hearing, his own sister turning him in to some company. He heard message received sound and hurried to his computer. The message chilled his blood, 'Do not tell anyone, do not go anywhere near an organization known as Tylon. They are very dangerous.'
Jackson couldn't believe what he was reading. He opened a chat window.
'What if you already have?' He typed.
'GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!' The correspondent answered.
'But where? I don't have any money or anything...'
'I can wire you some money... Get out of there... I'll give you a contacts name, get to Tokyo, Japan...'
'But what about my sister?'
'You want to live?'
'Looks like I'm gone then...'
'Stay low...'
The chat window closed and Jackson hurried to his room. He started packing stuff. In a few minutes he managed to get all of his major belongings packed. Tara was still on the phone. He realized he hadn't sent his back account or name. He logged back on and sent his name and bank account. He was at the door when he heard Tara calling after him. he braced himself and ran. He until he was at the bank. He stopped and took a few breaths. Not at all winded, just a little tired. He composed himself and went into the bank and checked his account. He handed the person his bank book. It came back with a mind boggling figure, $15,000, enough for a plane ticket and some other things. He withdrew all the money and stuffed it into his bag. He ran back out and flagged down a taxi. Off to the airport, which took him past his house. He saw what he had just barely avoided, vans and trucks were swarming his house, all with the Tylon name and logo.
Jackson did the best he could to stay anonymous, when he got to the airport he paid the driver and hurried in. He walked up to the tiller and asked to buy a ticket. He gave her his name, he already had a ticket for a flight that was leaving in 20 minutes. He grabbed the ticket and ran up to the security check. They waved him though and he made his flight. He found his seat and collapsed into it, he had stowed his bags and relaxed. His entire world shattered in two days. He fell asleep on the plane and awoke as it started to land. He went over the note that had been included with his ticket, 'Silver hair, silver eyes'. He got off the plane and started the search.
Jackson made his way throughout the airport looking for his contact. Someone in Japan had responded quickly and wired him the money. He was looking for someone who would stand out. He slowly made his way through the crowded airport, just your normal people. No one outstanding, then he made his way outside. There she was, waist length silver hair, silver eyes, an athletic build. She was resting against a black car with tinted windows. He made his way over carrying his backpack and duffel bag.
"........... Jackson?" The girl asked.
"What? I didn't exactly have time to learn Japanese, ya know.."
"Sorry. you'll have to learn, but it shouldn't be too hard, being in Japan and all.." She said in a heavy accent.
"Well, at least I can understand you. And yes, I'm Jackson O'Brian.
Nice to meet'cha." He said, offering his hand.
She moved her hand, stopped for a second, then shook it.
"I'm Konai, also a zoanthrope..."
"I figured. You'll have to fill me in on everything, 'cuz I'm sooo lost here. That your car?"
"Pretty much... Welcome to the wonderfully fucked up world of zoanthropes..."
"Yippee..." Jackson mocked. Konai opened the truck and then went to the driver's side and got in.
