        Eadmund was seated at the park bench with a duffel bag at his feet. He had got off the bus at it's last stop for the day, which brought him to a suburban looking area of the city. Possessing no definite destination in mind he's been sitting on the park bench for hours.
    The park was filled with plenty cheerful kids and watchful parents or nannies and what seem to Ed a guard at the time, but he soon found out that the guard was the owner of a karate school,  and was just keeping a watch full eyes on his student.

        As the hours flew by Ed sat still on the bench, the number of kids at the park seem to drastically reduce as the cool air of the evening seem to creep in and the hours went by. The guard looking man approached Ed and caught his attention.

        "Hello young man are you waiting for someone in particular?"  the guard looking man asked with a smile plastered on his face, as he took a sit beside Ed.

      "No not really .... am new in town. Looking for a place to stay and a job will be more like it, but I don't seem to know were to go from here."

      The man stretched out his hand to Ed  "Am Lee" he said

    The look on his face seem to show understanding of Ed's situation or so he taught , he believed the boy ran away from home for some reasons and since Ed looked to be over eighteen years of age, he felt it was not his place to ask why.  He had watch the younger man enter the park earlier in the day just before his last class for the day, and when he took some of the kids who's parent where taking a little more time to pick- up over to the park, he notice the young man still sitting looking aloof and watching his surrounding with little or no interest . At first he thought the boy was just a weirdo of some kind sitting and people watching for hours on end but when he came over to the park and got closer look at Ed, he saw the boy was well dressed, only looking lost and afraid of something he could not guess at.

      "Am Ed" said Ed bring the man sitting beside him out of his trance as he starched out a hand to the stranger beside him.

     "Nice to met you Ed "  said the stranger pulling his attentions back to the younger man beside him and putting a smile on his face, he grabbed Ed's offered hand in a firm hand shake before saying...

      " Ed am not going to ask questions that you are lightly not going to answer any ways , but if you need a place to stay for tonight at list, you could stay in my spare room. It's not a guest room per stay it's just a small attic room, and it is yours for the night if you wish."

       Ed looked at the man sitting beside him first with suspicion in his eyes, then with disbelief and finally with some sort of appreciation plastered on his face. Ed took a good  look at the man ,he was middle age may be in his mid thirties, for he definitely looked a little younger then his father was. The thought of his dad brought tears to his eyes but the pushed it aside and finally gave the waiting man a response.

      "But you do not know who I am, and I don't know you."

       The older man looked at younger with a smile still plastered on his face as if trying to reassure Ed.  "That's true" was his only reply as he waited in silence for Ed to decide.

       " Thank you for the offer... I will take it, you don't look like a serial killer or anything, so I guess I should be safe"  Ed smiled up at the older man who was now on his feet.
