“Dad, the mechanic said to come back for it later.” Axel tapped at the side of the walls softly, to express his anxiety. He usually didn’t feel this nervous when there weren’t that many people around, but something about place made him really uneasy. He just wanted out.  The old man turned his head and grinned at him.

“Well son, you should go and take a look around some of the shops outside. After all I think I’m old enough to look after myself.” Axel just sighed at this and picked up a magazine next to him. It wasn’t like he doubted the old man or well… He looked up at his father who was busily chatting up some of the people next to them. Okay, maybe he did… a little. Especially when other people tried to take advantage of his gullibility. He shook his head and rolled the magazine in his hands absentmindedly. Something felt odd or maybe…  No, it couldn’t be that.
