August 17th, 1986

Running was never fun, it was the worst part about not having someone to take care of you. Or wanting you for that matter. Or people who want you dead and no one to help you. Yeah that's my life. Always has been since the beginning. I start slowing my motorcycle down as I see people. Realization hits me that I drove to a town that I didn't recognize.

How is it possible for me to find a place like this and it not be on any map?

I come to a complete stop then my bike turns off.

Fuck how could I be this stupid and not fill her at the last gas station? I hear a vehicle driving towards me. I pull my bike to the side of the road not thinking these people would help me any how. The sound of tires stopping on gravel alerts me that the person stopped to help me. I look up and see an elderly couple.

"Young man why are you out here on your own?" I look down at Mithhiri sheepishly and rub the back of my neck in embarrassment.

"Well at the last gas station I was at I forgot to fill my bike up and well now she's out of gas." The couple looks at each other then tell me to put my bike in the back of their truck and to hop in. After I put her in the bed of the elderly couples truck I hop in the back seat. "Thank you very much. I'm Elijah Lokison. I'm terribly sorry about troubling you on a night like this."

"Oh no worries dear. I'm Harlot and this is my husband Luci. You can stay at our place tonight and in the morning find a motel if you would like. As well as take that bike of yours to a gas station so you can fill her up with gas." I smile at that and thank the couple.

We get to their house and they show me to the only bedroom in their home.

"It's a bit small, but it should work for you." Luci look down at me and smiled. "Are you hungry? Harlot is making food and she has those motherly instincts to take care of any child. You look like you could use some good homemade food." I chuckle.

"Yeah that would be nice." I am 140 pounds and about 5 foot in height. Everyone notices whether they want to or not.

"Well when you are ready head downstairs and we can eat and get to know each other." Luci then walks out and closes the door behind him.

Glad that part is over  now. All I've got to do now is go through dinner and then I can go to bed in a decent looking bed. Feels nice too.

After a bit I head downstairs and sit at the table. I get to know the couple over dinner, finding out that Harlot and Luci couldn't have kids when they first got married. So they have a natural habit of wanting to take care of runaways that here. Oh and found out that the place I've stumbled across is called Santa Carla, California.

I've decided to stay here. They seem like a nice couple and I could stay awhile if I do. I can no longer be on the run. Tonight went better then I thought.

I lay in bed looking at the ceiling. I smile at my thoughts and slowly fall asleep.
