Stolen Spirit: Sorry if people are confused! But when Kai went into the old
mans card it can't be in this now because in future of this story it will
be explained! Sorry!

Chapter 4 - Secrets are best kept safe
Kai tossed his bag into the back seat of the Accord and then slid in after it. I think I could leave the serious type for awhile, Kai thought.
"Don't you girls know you should never pick up a hitchhiker?" he asked, smiling (1) so they would know he was joking.
They both laughed, nervous laughs.
"What's your name?" the blonde one with all the hair asked, turning to examine him. Kai thought about it. Should I give out my last name they would freak out.
"Kai Darkwood"
"Do people call you like Kay or something?" the other one, the pale one, asked him. She was tugging nervously at a strand of her black her, watching him in the rearview mirror.
"No." He told her, with his usual serious look.
The blonde one introduced herself and her sister. Geliy and Melissa Rose. James said their names over and over in his head, his way of memorising. Geliy and Melissa. Geliy and Melissa.
He settled back on the seat, rubbing his open palm against upholstery.
I wish Geliy would stop staring at me like that. She's starting to make me nervous.
"Where are you headed?" Geliy asked him.
Kai shrugged. "Doesn't really matter. Just away."
"Were going to Tampa." Melissa said, glancing nervously at Geliy.
"Sure."
"Excellent," Geliy said. " So we could drop you off there."
"Excellent," Kai repeated. "Where are you going after Tampa?"
"Home" Melissa answered quickly.
"Where's home?" Kai asked.
"Well. we aren't exactly going home we are just going to Japan for a while" Melissa replied reluctantly, glancing at Geliy.
Loads of people live there I could hide for a while. Kai stared out of the window.
Geliy pulled the car back onto the highway. Melissa fiddled with her seat belt.
Maybe ill let them take me all the way to Japan. But ill have to try, and remember never tell them then about what I-
"It's like a swamp out here," Melissa said, too gazing out of the window.
"All the rain has made it even swampier," Kai said.
"Where are you from?" Geliy asked.
"Russia," Kai replied, than silently scolded himself for telling the truth. "You two on vacation?" He wanted to keep the conversation away from him. He had already told too much.
"Yeah. School break," Geliy offered. "You go to school in Key West?"
"Yes." He lied.
"We came down here for some serious stuff. You wouldn't be interested in it." Geliy said, speeding up to pass a family camper being pulled by an old Plymouth filled kids.
"You have a good time?" Kai asked.
"Excellent," Geliy said.
"You're the quiet one?" Kai asked, leaning forward to get Terri`s attention. She reminds me of me for some reason, Kai thought.
"Yes" Melissa replied dryly. She didn't trust him. Especially when he looked like a tribe person and with unusual crimson eyes.
"You hitchhiked up here from Key West?" Melissa asked.
"Like to ask a lot of questions?" Kai shot back. He saw Melissa's face turn bright scarlet. Hey, he told himself. Try not to add sarcasm. These girls are going to take you all the way to Japan. You don't want to make them nervous. They drove on for a while in silence. The late afternoon sun poured in through the windshield. Silence always gave him bad thoughts. Silence gave him too much time to think. Once again, he heard their voices, pleading with him, begging him not to go. "Hey- anybody hungry?" Kai asked, after a while, mostly to break the silence. The painful silence. "There's a cool-looking place over there." Geliy slowed the car down. They turned their eyes to the diner, set off the road behind a narrow gravel parking lot. It looked like a railroad car.
