    Osmond


    "So where do you live?", Karl asked Justin. Justin just looks straight ahead, as if he was staring past everyone on the street. Karl waved his hands in front of Justin to get his attention. Nothing. "Heh, weird kid.", Karl thought to himself. Justin's eyes seems as if they far way.

    "Life is so strange. It is so pointless, but yet without it, we wouldn't be-huh!" Justin looks down, he is three feet above the ground. "Ahhhhhh! Put me down!", he screams. Karl puts him back down. He chuckled ,"Now I got your attention!"
    "HaHa. Very funny. Don't scare me like that."
    "Scare you? You were scaring me! For the past five minutes you've just been walking and staring straight ahead. What were you doing!"
    Justin isn't listening again.
    "Great", Karl said. He sighed, took a deep breath, leaned close to Justin's ear, and screams ,"RRRREAARAGGGHHHHHH!!!!"
    Justin looks up. "Oh, hi"
    "You did it again!"
    "Did what?"
    "You weren't even listening to me!"
    "Oh, yea. I'm like that. When I think, it's hard for me to get distracted."
    "So where do you live?"

    Justin stops walking, soon followed by Karl. Justin realized something and spoke ,"I have no idea."
    Karls face becomes pale. "Then where were we walking to!"
    "Dunno"
    "Uughhhhh! Do you even live in this city?"
    Justin nods his head.
    "Good that's a start. Stay here and I'm gonna make a call."
    "Ok..."

    Karl walks off. Ten minutes later, he walks back. He happily said ,"Hang on, my friends coming." Justin wants to walk away before Karl's friend comes, but decided he hasn't got anything to lose. A feeling that he will get many times after this.

    "BEEP BEEP!"

    A red truck comes up to the two. A man much older than Karl is driving. He opens the window and yells ,"Noon' Karl, took me a while to find the keys but I got em'. Who's the kid?"
    "Osmond, this is the kid I was telling you about. You know, the runaway?"
    "Oh, wow.", Osmond muttered before perking up and saying ,"What's up! I'm Osmond Van and you are?" He stuck his hand out through the window. Justin thinks about speaking to this man. He looks up to the Karl, who nods his head, before saying ,"I'm Justin. I'm 7"
    "That's cool! I'm seventeen and this is my car!" He looks to Karl and says ,"So how we gonna do this?"
    "Right! Ok ,Justin, listen up! Here's the thing. I was gonna take you home, but I don't know where you live. We're gonna get in Osmond's car and drive around the city until we see your house. You tell us when we see your house. Ok?"
    Justin trusts Karl and yells ,"OK!"
    "Great! Now get in the car!"

    Osmond walks out of the car and opens the door for Justin. He smiled warmly and said ,"Welcome" Although they didn't realize it, but they were gonna do this for a long time to come.
