The train was late and Adams father was ready waiting by the station having a sneaky fag, Adams father was also called Adam, which often made for confusion at home, so Adam Junior quickly picked up the nickname AJ, it also helped that Adam Senior was a Major in the British army, and so Aj's father was often called the Major.
"Your late! Again."

"Sorry major. But jade got a bit tearful and held me up a bit."

The major stood tall and quickly brushed aside the harshness that the military life had drilled into him.

"So moving to London, its a big step. Well I'm posted in Knights-bridge for the moment helping the government on there new ideas on the Afghan problem. So ill be around if u need any help."

"Sweet, so where is this flat of mine again? Ive forgotten where it is exactly."

"Its just inside Brixton. And don't worry Ive lined up a little a job at a record company near by, but be warned its not your kind of music they deal in there."

"What? What do they deal in? Jazz, soul, reggae?"

"No son they call it grime."

Both Adams got on the train in silence, Aj soon turned on this ipod and listened to some of his favorite tracks. The journey took just over a couple of hours and there was only one change.
Both Adams walked out of Waterloo station quietly absorbing the sunlight of the summer sun. The major hailed a cab and after a short taxi ride they arrived outside the little flat that was to be his from now on. Aj met the land lady, a short but kind lady from Scotland. As the Alex's moved up the tight stairs they found the room and opened the door.

"Well there it is son, Ive paid Mrs Gordon 3 weeks rent in advance as well as the deposit. so this is all yours."

"Thanks, can you help me move in properly tomorrow, like get the bed and the sofas and things in here please?"

"of course ill let u get settled in and know where u want everything to go."

The Major left quietly as if on a stealth mission, but this left Aj the quite he needed to think, the bed was OK but he wanted his own one, and the kitchen was well supplied.
Adam left and locked the door, making sure he remembered which way to get down stairs he found Mrs Gordon and asked where the nearest shop was to get sum supplies.
Adam then moved down the streets quietly confident and sure of him self, it was only three O'Clock so the schools where still full of kids, so Adam basically had the streets to him self. He found the local shop and brought sum milk breakfast and other basic commodities. he walked back to the flat and saw Mrs Gordon sat outside the little house. as he walked up to the house she sprang up and rushed him inside.

"your not wearing colors, you are lucky you haven't been mugged yet."

"What are you on about, colors? yes i am my t-shirt is blue."

"No i mean gang colors."

"Oh don't worry i can look after my self."

"Against a knife? or even worse a gun?"

"Look lady i know my father asked you to look out for me, but trust me I'm fine."

Adam walked up to his flat and whipped out his laptop and got straight on-line, making sure all of his friend who also lived in London knew where he was now living and that they need to come over asap.
then he logged onto msn and chatted the rest of the afternoon away with jade, will and others.
