Oblivion

Adrian
Finally we arrive in Jamaica. There are many tourists here to keep it busy year round. So I chose the safe house here to stay for a while.

Most of the time, we forget this safe house exists because we try to stay in the States if we can help it. So I chose one of our out of country safe houses.

We have a rental car waiting us to at least get us to our house, but once we got there I intended on just leaving it at some lot and tell them that they can get it themselves. Cause I really don't care.

"It's so hot here daddy." Carmen whines. "I know, daddy didn't pack for tropical weather." I respond, holding onto Carmen's hand tighter so I don't lose her in the crowds of tourists. We find out rental car and I put her in the seat, "Daddy," Carmen whines again, "I need my seat!" She laughs. "Yeah well, we'll break the law just for now." I wink, buckling her in to the seat behind me.

The ride to the house was about close to two hours. But it's extremely remote so it's okay anyways. The driveway itself is several miles long just to reach the actual house.

"Are we there yet?" Carmen asks. I sigh, "No Carmen, we are still on the driveway." I inform her. "Still?" She asks. "Yes, still." I reply.

Carmen goes silent until we reach the house. "Our house looks better daddy." Carmen says. "I know." I sigh.

I turn off the car and get out, unbuckling Carmen. "Wait here." I tell her.

I grab our suitcases and then signal Carmen to go to the door. I notice it's unlocked, strange. I open it and to my surprise, it's Alessia, pointing a gun at my face.

"Identify yourself! Wait, Adrian?" Her faces falls soft. "Alessia? You're, you're alive? You're alive!" I exclaim. I pull Alessia in for a kiss and tight embrace, "I'm so sorry, but it wasn't safe anymore for me-" She gets cut off by the sound of a baby's cry, "Me and our baby."

Alessia looks around me and Carmen, "Hurry get inside, they could've seen you!" Alessia whispers, dragging me and Carmen inside, and shutting and locking the door.

"What's going on?"

"Long story short, I'm in witness protection program Adrian, I snitched on my family, and they know." Alessia explains, her pupils as wide as saucers, and I'm pretty sure mine did just about the same.
