Another me another you

12)Old man O'connel

As I ran through woods I felt exhausted resting in this abandoned house was a life saver.It was all dirty but I didn't see a car parked outside,I freaked out.An old man with an 70mm pistol walked against me as I hid inside,hey whoever you re show up i won't hurt you I am friendly son he shouted.Im already in state of hurry and not a chance I am going out there.He run a round of bullets in the air,if it's fight then let's fight don't hide in the dark you prick he uttered with disgust. Then I started saying sir I am sorry I am being chased sir,let me stay,I mean no harm,i an saving my life I shouted. He ran another round of bullets and said you can come out and say that so that I can trust you.Then I shouted what if don't trust you?You have a gun.He said he has put his gun down on the ground,so it's OK come out.I picked my gun dennis's father gave it to me but I hid in my pocket and I started walking out with my hands in the air.His face turned from rage to pity,he smiled.'You little one scared this old man,your voice way deep for your age boy scared me'he uttered in low tone.Sir please let me stay I pleaded him.He said..No one stays here I kept it dirty so None could use this place this is where I and my wife used to live,I abandoned it after she was dead,and I have house nearby yoy can hide there if you want?I said yes despite not being convinced inside my mind but had no choice. Then I stepped into his truck and he rode it deeper into the woods,I was being skeptical still have that gun kid?He asked me.I was surprised how could he know that?I said no sir what do u mean I don't have any.He smiled and looked at me whilst driving you should cover that better kid looking at my barely covered gun in my right pocket.I was speechless and apologized,he was cool about it and complemented me back that you are a tough kid you should be careful and I like how cautious are!He asked me to take the gate open,then I did and there it was just like some magic,behind that gate a beautiful wooden house that too in the middle of thick jungle,as I walked it took my surprise that I can see a lot of stuff that you can't possibly expect in a forest wooden house,Running satellite tv, Air-conditioned house,and the house that runs on solar powered panels,this old man is all but a echnology man.He asked me to change and handed me over a bunch of new clothes.I was confused that is he rich or a dangerous stalker orkiller or kidnapper,but mostly he looked weak late in his 70's.As 3days passed I observed many things that were going on,no one else stays with him,he does his own work,he cooks,does laundry all by himself.He used to cook for me everyday,not just normal stuff he even makes pizzas,I thought maybe he was some chef cause what he does with food is beyond this world,I asked him what he used to do?He said he can't say that,it's none of my business,just stay for a few days and leave,I don't why he was so furious when I asked what he does?What's obvious is he is retired all I can say.Coming back to the house there is an underground cabin where all the computers were,I sneaked into them,I figured that he had to do something with the government,and probably a government employee,but more related to nasa.But there is an equal chance he could be one those members of the secret society.I was being skeptical,so I played along,he was so good,just like my grandpa,one night when we were at the tables finishing up dinner,he opened up that he had son who worked for NASA,brilliant student,but was murdered by few unknown men for inventing a glitch in tesla's invention and openly stopped the government from initiating the project.But he never told me what he did,I didn't even ask,I let it slip,he was drunk and i put him on bed by taking him on my shoulders and almost before I left the room he said'You remind me of him,I don't want you to die like him,I won't let that' and he passed out!After I made sure that he was all asleep I sneaked back into that underground cabin and logged into one of his computers,and searched about his son and found everything what I wanted to know.All of a sudden he showed up with a pistol and came all furious at me,you are grounded,stay away now,leave my house now,you don't deserve my help,get the f%#^$ out,he kicked me out of the house and he didn't listen to me at all.I walked in that woods at mid night,tears all over my face,weeping out loud like a kid,after a minute or two his car came in and he took me back and asked me to sleep in my room and he will talk about this in the morning,and shouted this O'Connels house and here everyone listens to me and he went back to his room and obvious locked the underground cabin,I was relieved that at least he brought me back,I tried to sleep but it all guilt that made me sleep not so well.
