This chapter is more about Maya's life then Jim's but I promise in the next chapter the Outlaw star characters will show up more. I hope my writing and spelling has improved over the last two years. Please let me know if you would like me to include anything in the fallowing chapters because I try and take people's reviews into consideration. Oh well, sorry for the long wait on the second chapter and happy reading! 

It was a new beautiful day at Starwind and Hawking Enterprises as the sun peaked up over the horizon and began to slowly awake the sleeping town. Like any other day Jim was awake first although today it was for a slightly different reason, to avoid Suzuka. Jim yawned and went to his closet to find a pair of his tan Cargo pants and black tea shirt. He then took a good look around his room making sure everything was in place. He tried so hard to ignore the colorful pictures that Maya had drawn for him hanging on his bedroom wall but for some reason that was all he was able to see. He quickly jumped up on his bed and gently took the pictures out of their frames. He then examined each one carefully, the painting of the arcade, the drawing of the lake, and Jim's favorite the painting of Jim and Maya at the park the day they first met. Jim opened up his desk drawer and shoved the paintings inside. He slammed the drawer shut and stood in front of it while folding his arms.

"Who am I kidding; Maya won't want to see me again after last night. She could probably never forgive me for looking at her diary and besides how could I possibly tell her," Jim said while looking down at the floor.

Meanwhile at Maya's house Eric was busy cleaning up the damage Suzuka had caused. A few cheap vases and dishes had been shattered along with the door being broken off the hinges. Eric was trying to repair the door for at this moment he couldn't afford to buy a new one. Eric wiped the sweat from his forehead and forced a smile on his face for he saw that Maya was now standing in the door way. Maya smiled back and then glared at the clock hanging above their sofa. Her face then became panic stricken.

"Big brother, big brother your gonna be late for work," Maya shouted knowing her brother was usually more responsible then this.

"Oh no your right I have to get going!" Eric shouted in surprise as he rushed to his feet.

Eric ran to the bedroom closet to find his red work shirt and hat. He ran into the living room and almost out the door until the events from the night before began to come back to him. He turned to look back at Maya who was staring at him with wide eyes.

"Well what are you waiting for?" Maya asked impatiently

"Maya I think you should come to work with me today. I don't want you to stay home by yourself," Eric said trying to act parent like as he often had to.

Maya sighed, "I think I am old enough to stay home by my self brother, after all I have been for almost three years now."

"Come on just do what I ask for once," Eric said as he grabbed Maya's book bag and headed out the door.

Maya hated the bar where her brother worked. It was always full of bounty hunters and criminals so there was always some sort of fight going on. The bar was called "Good Old Days" but Maya and any one else who had been to this bar knew that it was anything but good. Maya just hoped that there wouldn't be much fighting today for she hated to see people get beat up. I t brought back to many memories of the night her parents died.

Maya and Eric walked through the bar doors greeted by the sound of heavy metal music and poker chips being thrown on the table. Maya caught sight of Eric's boss approaching them. Eric's boss was a mean tuff sort of man with bulging muscles covered in threatening tattoos. His name was Joe but most people just called him "The Boss Man."

Boss Man approached Eric and grabbed the color of his shirt. "You better be waiting on those tables boy. I can't keep a lazy ass like you around here."

Eric's crystal blue eyes grew wide but they were no where as big as Maya's for Eric was used to the Boss man's tone. "I…I was only fifteen..."

Boss Man's grasp on Eric's shirt grew tighter." I don't care how late you where you just better never be late again. On fact next time you be here a little early or you can just find yourself another job! And another thing, what's that child doing here?"

Eric sighed, "I had to bring her with me just this once I promise."

Boss man looked at Eric with a warning glair, "For your sake it better be."

Eric just nodded and went to the back of the bar to begin mixing drinks and cooking food. So Maya was left there in the middle of the cigarette smoke and gambling filled bar. She scanned the room trying to find a safe place to sit. She looked to the back of the bar and spotted and empty table under a chandler but soon decided other wise for if there was a fight the chandelier could easily be pulled out of the ceiling and shatter into a million pieces. Maya then looked to her right noticing a table in the corner but once again changed her mind because being seated in a corner would give her no place to run. She quickly decided to take a seat to the left behind two women, After all how harmful could they be.

Maya slid into the patched green booth and took out a piece of paper and some colored pencils from her book bag. She then cautiously looked at the girls in front of her. The one girl who was known as Wind was always seen sitting at the same table in the same bar. Wind had spiked hair which matched her bubbly personality and was always wearing a leather outfit. While Maya didn't know that much about wind the girl sitting across form wind scared her even more. The girl wore a black ninja outfit and a pouch that clearly held weapons. The woman's raven Hair was tied up in a bun away from her pale face and black makeup covered her black eyes and pierced lips. Maya noticed a knife handle sticking out of the girl's pocket and wondered if she should get her brother. She then just decided to turn back around after the mysterious girl shot her a glair that was so cold it could have frozen the sun on the hottest of days. Maya sat there quietly and began to sketch a picture of what he remembered Suzuka to look like just in case she ever ran into her again. Maya's drawing was soon interrupted by the sound of a broken bear mug and tuff guys causing a stir. Maya turned around to discover that a man who looked similar to Boss Man was holding her brother by the shirt.

"Punk kid I said I wanted a glass of beer not a glass," the man spit through his teeth.

"I am sorry, I'll get you a mug next time, 'Eric managed to whisper as he tried to escape the mans grip.

"Shut up!" the man yelled as he threw Eric onto a table knocking a few glasses violently on the floor.

The man's gang of three began to surround Eric as he tried to stand back on his feet. Just then a man with a golden tooth grabbed Eric by the back of his shirt and allowed another guy to punch Eric in the face. The guys began to laugh as Eric flew into the table once more. Maya couldn't take another minute of watching her brother being tortured so without thinking she ran to her brother's side..

"Leave my brother alone!" Maya shouted as she kicked the shins of the tall guy and stood in front of her brother.

The man looked down at Maya and threw her up against her brother, "why you little bitch what the hell do you think you are doing?"

Maya felt her skin being pierced by shards of broken glass but she tried with all her heart to get back up on her feet. She could here her brother whispering for her to run but she was to determine to teach this guy some manners!

THE END!

I really appreciate any kind of feed back and thank any one who decided to read this story even if I haven't updated anything in awhile.
