Drew's POV
'This is just fantastic. You're wanted by the police, you're an orphan, and you have no fucking idea where you are; Great job Drew. The only cool thing about this is that you met an alien and that didn't last long. Wish he gave me directions back to the road though before I left. Okay let's just calm down and think.'
BOOM!
WHAT THE FREAKING HELL WAS THAT!
I looked over and there was smoke rising to the right of me. Please lead back to the road. I drove out to the smoke and found a neighborhood that seemed abandoned. I drove into it looking for where the smoke came from. All I found was a big crater and nothing was in it. Crap. Where the heck am I, anyway? I look around for some sign or person but found nothing. I walked back to my bike and found a note on it. I picked it and it said "Welcome to Los Soledad. Find the box."
Okay, I'm starting to think my original foster parents were a walk in the park compared to all this crap. Why the heck did I need to find this box? Wait, Better question:
"What Fucking Box is it talking about?"
"An item that I was sent to this planet to get."
I turned around and saw Lionel.
Lionel's POV
I ran to where the energy signature was coming from but it was going in and out. I needed to get to this invention fast or else no pay day. The energy signature was getting closer to earth better step on it. This device Azmuth gave me came in handy for finding where the invention was going to land. Azmuth's Inventions always capture too much attention. They sell on the Black market for so much that plumbers would steal them, but what Azmuth pays to get them back makes it all look like pocket change. The only downside is that you need have a good track record in thieving to make his for hire list. Of course that means that I made his requirements and is one of the best myself.
The location the invention is going to land is a place called Los Soledad. Better hurry and get there before the bandits do. I make it there 2 minutes before its landing. I see it land and grab the box immediately so no one would see me. I hear an engine approaching and hide behind a building with the invention. I place the invention in a special bag that hides its energy signature before looking for the new arrival. It was the Kid! What the hell was he doing here? Could he be here for the invention? No way he is getting it, that's my pay day. He seems to be reading a note on his bike now.
"What Fucking Box is it talking about?"
Okay that seems to answer my question about him knowing about the invention but who would leave him that note anyway?
"An item that I was sent to this planet to get."
He turned around and saw me with the bag but didn't even look at it.
"Sorry" he said "I was looking for the road and well thought the smoke was coming for a car crash."
I chuckled at him. Kid really did have guts. He didn't even seem to flinch at me like when we first met and that was just an hour ago.
"No problem, I should have lead you back to the road myself to make sure you didn't get lost. What's with the note?"
He handed me the note and I saw what it said. Who would want a human to get their hands on the invention; it makes more sense to just get it themselves. I wanted to think more about it but the kid interrupted my thoughts.
"Do you know who wrote it or what they are talking about?" He had a curious look on his face and it screamed WTH is going on.
"I was sent to this planet on a job to find an invention created by one of the smartest beings in 3 dimensions, Azmuth. I don't know what it does but If Azmuth created it, everybody wants it. I'm betting who ever left you this note wants you to get it for them." He seemed to think about it for a bit before he spoke.
"Unless this thing can make a house out of thin air I'm not interested. You can keep it."
I got to admit, the kid was stupid. If he got his hands on this he could literally buy all the houses on this planet and still have enough to buy an entire army. Humans are so confusing.
"Hey." I look him in the eye after hearing his voice and show him that I'm listening. "You have to go into space to deliver that right?" I nodded. "Then can I go with you?" I was shocked as hell at that. "I don't have anywhere else to go and no family to go to." He might be useful if I run into trouble getting back to Azmuth even if he is human.
"Alright kid, you can come."
Drew's POV
I have no idea why I asked him to let me come along with him but I felt like staying on Earth was just a waste of time. I wasn't heading back to the courts and I definitely wasn't going to try and hide out until I was 18. That only left leaving with this guy and who knows I might find a place to live out there. When he said yes I was as shocked as hell.
He brought out a weird blue pen looking device and pressed the top. Instead of the usual ball point tip a green beam came out from the top. It disappeared into the clouds and a spaceship came down. It looked pretty ugly and rusty.
"That's your spaceship?" he chuckled at me for my lack of respect.
"It's a Takion 930. Ugly on the outside and all engine on the inside." A hatch opened in the back and he started walking to it. When he was in the doorway he turned around and motioned his hand telling me to follow him. I catch up and we step into the ship. It looked like a dirty version of an airplane with less seats.
He turned on the Engine and started up the ship. "Next stop, Galvan Prime!"
