Melanie
Being the quiet, silent and hidden one in a family full of convicts, mobsters and felons has it's perks. No one is really on to you. And you family doesn't keep a clear eye on you as they threaten to be. My father is Oscar Ferragamo one of Seattles top ghost mobsters. He's everywhere but you can't see him.
"And my most prized possession has arrived." My father announces as I walked through the door. "Hi Daddy." I say hugging and kissing his cheeks. "Oh, so you are bring the dummy on this mission?" My Older brother Declen says coming out of the shadows behind me. I turned and smiled at my brother because he was never too fond of me... ever. "Still hiding in my shadows aren't you?"I laughed. "You're just gonna fuck up like you did in 09'." He says bringing up the past. I looked around my dads sanctuary and found one of my old gadgets that he kept. "I did fuck up in 09'... But you missed the call. So I had to improvise. Brother." I say picking up the toy. "If you two are done rekindling the past... We have to go." One of many of Dads 'boys' says interrupting us. "Sometimes I really wish mom was here." I say throwing down the toy and walking out the room.

"Alright ear pieces in." Daddy says opening a brief case of ear pieces. I went to grab one and Declen pushed my hand out the way so I couldn't grab one first. "Please, grow the fuck up." I say grabbing an ear piece and pushing him before getting out the car.
"Alright, Declen and boys you guys stay hidden. Find Micheal Everson and hold him until he gives up his seller."Dad says. "And the princess?" Declen asks. "We both has two different missions obviously. You guys are doing the light work. Women always do the hard job dummies." I say taking my coat off to reveal my dress.Everyone looked confused. We are sneaking into an under ground illegal Casino and I guess no one knew. "What you guys didn't dress for the occasion? I see." I say laughing. Declen glared at me. "Don't fuck up." He says rolling up the window before our driver drove off.
I walked up to the door and someone approached me. "I don't know how your father got me back into this... But im glad im not working with Declen." My ex/close friend Tayler says snaking his arm behind my bare back that sent me chills down my back.
Thought you'd enjoy some company
Oh wow, thanks father. Nothing shows how much you missed me by bringing my ex back.
Come on, we all know he's what you're missing.
Declen I swear to god, I will point everything to you on this mission.
Try it I dare you.
Okay you two knock it off, Melanie you and Tayler will be a couple for tonight that is seeking to start their own. You guys are looking for Laura.
Okay got it.
"You ready?" Tayler asked me. "Um, I guess so. Lets go." I say linking arms with him. "So where are you now? Mexico? New York? Canada?" He ask to make small talk. "No where close to here. Somehow I always get sucked in by my father and his guilt trips." I say. "How long are you staying this time?" He asks handing me a glass of champagne off a waiters tray. "Don't know. If Declen the walking grudge holder doesn't try to run me out first." I say taking a sip of my drink
You do know I can hear you right?
You do know I wished you dropped dead right?
