red head

chapter one: Canon Ground

        leaves swing in the wind as the rain and wind blow in the September air ,the year was 1984 in Bed ford Iowa. Canon was just waking up from his deep sleep to the sound of yelling. still a bit groggy he sat up and swung his legs over the side of his bed ,canon ,he was an interesting 23 year old ,he had red hair that slightly curled at the end , green eyes that had a bit of hazel swirling around ,he wasn't exactly buff or tall ,he was thin with a little bit of mussel and was 5'5. Over all he didn't seem extraordinary  and that was true . . . Well for now

           Canon decided that he would go see what the yelling was all about .being in the middle of the country side they didn't always  see many cops or city folks just walking around unless they were hitch hikers trying to hitch a ride to Kansas city ,to possibly get a job at one of the factories ,shops, or maybe Just to see family.over all it was pretty silent . . .most of the time

Canon stood up Wearing his light gray pants and a white t-shirt ,he stretched his arms a bit and lazily opened the door while rubbing his eyes ,getting all the crustiest out. He made his way down the creaky wooden steps

      "What do you mean my chickens are gone ,I thought you closed the gate!"  Yelled the owner of the house ,miss Gina 

Miss Gina rented out rooms to hitch hikers like canon .she had shoulder length honey blonde hair ,blue eyes ,and was short and chubby. Her personality was interesting ,she had a tendency to act like everyone mother even if they weren't her own children. 

"Oh, so this is my fault ,well excuse me ,im not the one who wanted the damn chickens in the first place!" Argued  Avery .Avery was sort of like any normal teenage girl,just trying to find were she fits in ,and is just trying to figure out who she wants to be. 

Avery had short dark brown hair ,her face has a cascade of freckles ,and was about 5'5.

"Is everything alright ,miss Gina" canon asked a bit confused about there bickering. 

"Well ya' see here canon, little miss Avery here lost 13 chickens that we just got three days ago !" Gina said with a bit of sass 

Canon chuckled a bit "how do you lose 13 chickens?" Canon started to pore some water in a pot to boil for some coffee.

"It wasn't my fault ,Mr. Allen came over and said that he needed to use our ladder cause , he said that his broke ,so I took him to the barn and gave him the ladder" Avery said 

"You mean the green ladder that was in bronze's stall?" Gina snapped back 

"Yeah . . .I DIDN'T CLOSE THE STALL,!"Avery said running out of the kitchen through the back door .

"What am i gonna do with her" Gina complained rubbing her templates.

Canon simply shrugged

Gina patted canons back "guess im just gonna have to love her " 

"Guess that's the only thing you can do " canon replied poring the boiling water in a mug 

"No im gonna ground her if she doesn't find those chickens and that damn horse"she said sitting at the table .

Canon stated to pour her a glass coffee ,he set it down in front of her ,and sat across her .

Gina owned a large chunk of land she had people like Mr.Allen live on the same to tend the corn and soy beans .she was about to start raising hens for there eggs ,but who knows were they are now. She has another family living on her farm too, a married couple with two kids ,the husband flies a plane and releases these pellets that kill all the bugs that try to eat the plants .

"So canon what are you trying to do ,for a job " Gina asked curiously 

"I went to collage in Florida to be a detective , and im hoping to us that to be part of the L.A.P.D."(los angels police department)

"Thinking of starting a family any time soon" Gina questioned smiling 

Canon choked on his coffee , hes never even kissed a person that wasn't his parents , he never even knew his mother that well ,let alone his father.

"Mm no , well not any time soon"canon replied taking another sip of his drink.

"So how are you gonna get to L.A." Gina asked picking up both of the mugs to put them in the sink

"I have some money ,i was gonna buy a plain ticket to San Diego "canon said 

"Well you better get that ticket quick" Gina said 

He nodded knowing that prices change fast .he stood up and decided that he would go get changed 

'Maybe i should get the ticket today thought

Closing the door behind him he began to undress ,he wore a pair of jeans , a green shirt ,and he also put some black converse along with an oversized gray sweater. What could he say it was cold .

He returned downstairs to see a chicken standing on the oven ,

'Oh boy ,better get Gina'

"Gina ," canon yelled 

There was no reply ,she was probably taking a shower. 

'What the hell should i do ' canon thought 

The back door opened to relieve Avery

"THERE IT IS CANON GRAB HER "

Avery said pointing at the hen

Canon slowly walked over ,but the hen had other plans she stated to flap her wings around and landed on the table .

Avery had enough she rolled up her selves and ran after the hen. 

"RED GET YOUR EGG MAKING BUTT OVER HERE " Avery screamed at the hen

Canon thought fast , he took off his sweater and through it over red's body. then he warped his arms around the hen ,so she wouldn't escape.

"thanks cannon, don't think i would still have all my fingers if it weren't for that crappy sweater of your.

"i can still let the hen go you know"canon reminder Avery

"you know what i am so grateful that  ill wash the beautiful thing you call a sweater tonight"said Avery ,being painfully sarcastic 

"hey would you mind putting red back i would love to find bronze before lunch ,otherwise Gina will have my ass"

"sure " canon replied with a shrug

"thanks your a life saver, and what ever you do don't look at Bennie ,he senses when hes being watched " Avery said before running out of the house

Bennie was the roster ,to king of the hen house as Gina puts it ,the first day that cannon came he was greeted by Bennie in his most known treatments ,Bennie jumped on cannon and peaked harshly at his head ,it looked like a cliche bird attack from the loonie toons

cannon continued to walk out the back door and was greeted by the cold air .
