(Adeline POV - still 16)
It's been a few days after my escape and I've been trying to keep mostly off grid so they don't catch up to me, hitchhiking, sneaking onto trains and buses, you know...the usual.
I've managed to make my way from London to Paris, in the last day, my aim is Italy though, since I know that's where my sperm donors mortal enemy lives in the mafia world so I figured I'd be an anonymous donor of information :).
'I know right! Im just a wonderful daughter.' I grinned maniacally thinking about how I was going to get my revenge.
I planned to leave for Russia after I dealt with some business in Italy though, I have a friend I've been meaning to visit there. I'm finally free and excited to finally see him after so long...he technically doesn't know I'm coming buttt, it's fine it's going to be a surprise.
I booked my flight for Italy under the fake alias rosely meadows. Right now I go by 3 different names. I swiped someone's credit card when i was in the shops to grab some food for the long journey here, so that it couldn't be traced back to me. My flight was at 2am.
I had everything ready for me in Italy, my new name, my change in guardianship on file, and the offshore banks I placed all my money into when I went to the school library. I know you're probably wondering, I thought she was broke? She just said she went hitchhiking!?.
Wellll, that was only to get them confused and not know where I'm going, I mean if I use any offshore bank to pay for travel from London they're going to connect the dots aren't they (eye roll), yes I know many eye rolls, i don't care.
I got the money from the little side missions I've done to steal things for people on the black market, and I've done quite a few races here and there to win money. But I'm not really into the whole underground fight scene, I mean I can fight and probably beat all their asses but I'm not about to put myself in the limelight and risk being caught. I'm more of a stay in the shadows type.
Plus didn't have time to leave much of a mark in the underground seen as the only time I could do missions was when I could sneak out the house or when I was meant to be at school. Let's just say my school...basically don't know I exist, I mean I changed to online classes and passed all my exams so technically don't need to go.
My underground / black market name is Quinn, because even thought she gets overshadowed by the joker she's the most deadly of them all, and my signature colours are black and red for my disguises. I leave my signature card in place of the things that I steal.
(Time skip to 2am)
I just hopped onto the flight, you're probably wondering what I did till then...
Well I had to go take off this wretched black itchy wig and go to the hair salon to get my dark brown hair dyed a blonde balayage and cut off big chunks of my once long hair. 'R.i.p' :(
So I went and did that and made sure to go to the public library, use a vpn and cover my traces on the computer when I began to hack into the Italian mafias database, to leave a cheeky little message.
["Here's a little info on your best friends. Hope I could be of help ;)" leaving some information from my sperm donors mafia attached to the message, of course not everything, I still have the advantage and I might need it later.]
I knew I would be catching a flight in 2 hours so I wasn't too fussed about being caught, and if I do say so myself my hacking skills are elite.
After a few seconds there was somebody typing a message on the database I hacked into, while trying to find my location, making me grin. They would never find me but they could try.
"Who is this? Why are you helping us?" The message wrote.
I replied "awhh, what a nice thank you, I'm touched really! And about who I am...a friend. -Q".
I quickly logged off the database covering my tracks and getting out of the library as quickly as possible, as I had spent 20minutes there already and the loop I put the security cameras on would surely go back to normal in a few minutes.
I got on a train to the airport, and here I am, just got on the plane at 2am.
I dug out the burner phone I had from my pocket and sent a quick message to one of my close friends in Italy letting them know I'm on my way. Her names Viola, and you would never guess who she is...
:)
What'd you think about chapter 2?
Idk if the chapters are too short or not but I find it easier to keep track to what I'm writing this way and don't get confused. Might change it up a bit in later chapters tho we'll see.
Enjoy:)
