Chapter 40
Loneliness brought him to the bar in sector four. Sky sat down at the table that was shaded and darkened by the lack of light. He ordered a beer and then another and sat in pity as he stared at nothing in particular. He didn't know how long he'd been at the bar when he was made aware of a conversation not far from his table. He looked over the counter and saw Matt White and Rock, the guy from the government place. Matt looked sullen and Rock looked like he was trying to consol him.
"It's not your fault." He heard Rock insist.
"Of course it is, the guy was kidnapped by my father and everything he said about him is true, hell, I even know that. Look what happened with Alec and his son when his son found out that he had help me out a little." Matt grumbled.
"The kid's probably having a hard time, hell, Alec just found him today." Rock tried.
"Who cares, he's still pissed and took it out on Alec instead of me." Matt argued.
"As I recall, he did take most of the shit out on you. He looked deranged, probably screwed in the head. Word is he was locked up for years on in." Rock told him.
"That suppose to make me feel any better?" Matt sneered.
Sky decided he'd heard enough, he got up from his table and went to theirs. Two pairs of surprised gazes met his. Sky looked at Matt and said:
"You won't have to worry about me anymore, I'm skipping town." Sky told him seriously.
Rock was the one to object, "Are you nuts? Your father has looked for you for years and now that he's found you, are you just going to leave again for another decade?"
Sky got angry, "What the hells it to you? Jeez, my father doesn't even know me! I've only met him once before and that was when I was six. I met the guy once! He means nothing to me other then the fact that he was my DNA donor!"
"You're so full or shit kid, that it's almost coming out of your ears! Your father happened to give a shit for a son he hardly knew! He gave a shit so much that he dedicated twelve years of his life to find him and when he does, his son is one ungrateful son of a bitch!"
"I never said otherwise." Sky said unemotionally.
*** Alec received a call a few hours later.
"Hello?"
"It's Rock." The voice said.
"What do you want, its four in the morning." Alec asked.
"You son's going to skip town."
Alec jumped out of bed, "What the hell are you talking about?"
"We ran into him at the bar, he told Matt not to worry about him being around anymore. Said he was leaving town for good.Alec, the kid's messed up." Rock told him seriously.
Alec didn't answer, he just looked outside as the rain fell steadily.
"Alec?"
"Where'd he go?" Alec asked.
"I don't know, he was drunk when he left, I think, or he had something wrong with his side because he couldn't seem to hold himself up straight."
Alec swore which woke Max who was as far as she could possibly be on the other side of the bed, "What's wrong?"
