VINCENT
7:30 AM
"Rise and shine sleeping beauty." Melanie says standing over me on the bed. "What time is it?" I groaned. "Seven thirty." She says. "Why so early."I asked while sitting up. "Because you wanna learn how to stay incognito..." She says dancing. "It's a lot to cover"she says "You couldn't sleep either." I say really looking at her. "How'd you know ?" She asked. "You look it" I laughed. She smacked her lips and then flipped me off. "Thanks so sweet Vincent" She says sarcastically. "You wanna go get some breakfast?" I asked her. "Yes but we get to take the Challenger." She says. "okay fine" I say getting up.
I got up and changed into some sweats and my phone started to ring. It was an unknown number and i answered it. "Vincent..." Laura says as i put it up to my ear. "I knew you'd find some type of feelings towards her." She says. i didn't say anything back to her. "I'm gonna find you both and-"i hung up the phone and met up with Melanie in our makeshift living room. "You ready?" I say looking at my phone. "Yes-why do you still have that?" She whined. "What my phone? Yeah i still have my phone. Don't you still have yours?" I say "No! I threw it out when before leaving Seattle!" She says. "Oh..." I say. She took my phone and took the sim card out and crushed it. "Save what you can then throw it somewhere" She says before walking out.

"So what's the deal on you and your father?" I asked her. "He's my father?" she replied "No shit, but why do you wanna go back to him so bad. It's not like you live with him" I laughed. "Because I had this feeling he needed me but not just for a mission. And I gotta figure out what it is." She says shaking her head.. "Not my daughter out in the open when she is always hidden." A voice says behind me. The look from shocked to rage came from Melanie eyes when she recognized who the lady was. "I'm sorry, didn't know my mother was looking for since she left me." Melanie says through his teeth. "Come on, you and your little friend- okay... his darling im Melissa Ferragamo." Her mom says introducing her self. "Im not going with you." Melanie laughed. "Okay, its either me, or that guy thats walking in five seconds." She says walking towards the back. We both looked at each other and followed her. "Give me this." Melanie says dun king my phone in orange juice. "We have serious work to do." She says yanking my arm. I smirked at her because she looks so cute when she's trying to act calm.
We walked through the kitchen, down a hallway, in a basement, and finally made it to an alley where there were two trucks posted up. "Keys already in the ignition follow us." Melissa says driving off. Melanie ran to the drivers seat and I followed her. "Have you ever driven a truck?" I asked her. "No, how bad could it be?" She says flooring the gas. "Oh my god." I say reaching fr my seatbelt. "You're such a wimp. I've been driving since I was eight." She says "Im sorry did you say you stopped growing since you were eight?" I say leaning towards her. "Stop! You're not funny."She laughed as she looked at me. "Stop looking at me look for your mother." I say trying to hold in my grin. "That lady is not my mother. I don't know who that is." She points at me. "You're a spitting image of her." I say smacking my lips. "Why don't you think she isn't" I asked. "Because, we all did missions as a family and it was me, my brother Declen, and my mom and my mom she is dirty. She owed some people some money and it was either her kids or her. She let us go like leave the building to make sure we didn't see anything." She says. Damn, her mom is good. "But did you hear anything?" I asked her. "No, I got in a car and drove off." she says. "How old were you at the time?" I asked. "Five." She says. "I thought you started driving at eight?"I say confused. "Obviously we had a driver dumbass." she says. "Oh..." I say.
We sat in silence and it wasn't awkward like when Lisa and Sean is in the car. Ive been watching the cars around us and there was on car behind us that was following us. "You know your way around Portland?" I asked her. "A little bit." she shrugged. "Well, do what you did when you got in and go."I say sitting up and tightening my seat belt. "Why?" She asked. "Because that Black SUV has been following us since we hit the main road." I say. "You ever been to the country?" She asked me. I looked around and yeah, we got a truck we look like we're going that way. "I can get away from the city life." I shrugged. She shot for an exit and turned around. The car did the same thing, it was still following us. "Still behind us?" She asked looking at herself in the rear view window. "Yeah, maybe you'd know that if you actually look behind you and not yourself." I say looking at her. "But I look good though." She says looking at me. "You look dead." I say nodding my head. she slammed on the brakes damn near broke my neck. "And you'll be dead, keep fucking with me." She says giving me a fake smile. "Yes ma'am..." I say looking at her.
