Alika ' Aukai ... it was his name , it was his true name his original name and in his dreams she would call to him and say it over and over like a lovers caress, it called him back over and over to the waking world. What he heard upon waking was 'Hey Alex! Boss ... Boss...!' moaning he opened his eyes and saw a very large dark skinned man looking down at him. "What?" he said his voice rough and again he knew he had drank way to dam much the night before, hid head pounded as he closed his eyes and tried to understand what his employee, no his friend Leo... Leo Knox he felt the big hand on his shoulder and he opened his eyes and looked up.. 'The Plane is due in an hour boss, you need to meet it and pay up or else we will NOT be getting any supplies come this time next month!' he was told.
Alex moaned again and placed his arm over his eyes, the sun streaming through the shuttered windows was too much, and then it got worse when Willa forced them open all the way causing them to bang against the outside walls of the bar and make his teeth ache from the sound 'You did it again didn't you?' Willa asked speaking way to loud, Leo seeing the mood she was in stepped back and away as she glared at him and then her 'father'. The thing is Alex did not look old enough to be her father, and in truth he was NOT, well not biologically though he could have been... *he sighed* No ... Willa and Leo and he all had History in fact they were the only two people in the world who knew the truth about him! That truth is he was not some 40 something year old drunken crazy bar owner BUT a more then 300 year old not often enough drunken possibly crazy man, searching for the missing pieces of a life that was stolen from him long long ago.
Alika.. the name pounded in his head even as Alex, Alex Winston Deveron the 6th? DAM his mind remembers being just the 1st and then the 2nd and 3rd and now he was the 6th?? Six times he had paid to legally die and be reborn or re-invented and he would have to do it again and again and ... 'DAD!" Willa's voice rang out and he bolted upright from the bar top he had been laying on and almost rolled off it... sitting up he glared at his 'daughter' "What!" he growled as she thrust a cup of coffee into his hand and placed a kiss on his cheek.. 'You Stink' Willa said and then left him 'go get cleaned up and I will make some food' she grabbed saw the stack of money behind the bar and knew that her adopted father had been very busy the night before it was probably the Russians 200 proof vodka was one of the few drinks that ever seemed too affect father and the dozens of bottles and shot glasses as well as the two dozen unconscious bodies outside told her that he had out drink each and everyone of them... again!
Alex smiled as he saw her see the stack of 'US Bills' his friends had made port a stop really on there way west and this time they had upped the wager and supplied three cases of Vosti .. drink for drink he downed and as the crew fell one after another after another it was just him and the captain left.. well Leo was also there and the Captin's second in command each not drinking and just overseeing to make certain nothing 'untoward' happened... to that effect the captain falling over and almost hitting his head was the only major issue from the night before... GOD he hated Vosti.. he stood up the pounding in his head Lessing as he started to move and by the time he was done with a hot shower and mooring necessities his head was clear and he stomach rumbled with the need for food!
Alex heard the sound of a plane on approach, he wondered if any of his... seekers had found anything for him? Sitting down he smiled at the site of the plates of food.. Leo shook his head , he was a big man but Alex .. DAM ALEX could easily out eat him time and time again and still looked like he ran twenty miles a day and did 1000 push up's ... and the fact was he did ... most days... Leo shook his head his eyes going to Willa who was smiling at her 'father'. Leo's mind going back in time.. to there meeting!
It was on a pier in San Diego, Willa father had a small ship and he was one of the men hired to crew it. Some people though needed the ship but they did not need him or Willa or her father, Willa was only ten at the time and when one of the 'men' had moved to touch the child he had tried to stop him and been pistol whipped by one of his friends. Willa's father had dove at the man and been shot, in the gut.. as he lay bleeding the men had looked around and that was when HE had emerged... from the water he had come a knife in hand he had ended the life of all the men that night and Leo had thought he had done it at the cost of his own life, he had been shot twice! But he seemed to ignore the wounds in fact one of them he had received putting his body between the scum and the gun that had been pointed at Willa.. Leo was not big back then he himself was only seventeen BUT he saw the look in the man's eyes a man who he was proud to call 'friend' a man who was haunted with a past, cursed he said .. blessed Leo though and Willa well she just knew he was the one who made the men, the man pay who had killed her father who was only trying to protect her.
When Alex had come walking back in pulling a shirt down his broad chest, the tattoos that covered his body were in view for a few seconds and both Leo and Willa shivered, everyone on the Island knew of those tat's and several local island woman tried to see just how far they went, but for some reason NONE of them ever got far... now everyone on the island simply thought he must be 'gay'.
Alex finished his food stood and was handed the box with the cash from the night before, going out he jumped into a truck and headed to the airstrip. There was no airport just a strip of land for the planes to land offload or load and refuel then head back out. It took him only ten minutes to get there and he saw the 'Pilot' checking the plane out as he approached stopped parked and got out of the truck.
