Hide & Seek

Prologue - Annaliese

Red

Annaliese Braun's black heel shattered through Bellum's tracking device right as the train passed through Coventry. She was supposed to be tailing a collector. instead, she had a little two bedroom apartment waiting for her a few hours away. No one left V.I.L.E. But, anything Wolfe could do, she could do better, so she'd damn well try. In the suitcase above her, was a weeks worth of clothes, a fake passport, birth certificate and social security under the name Annie Carlson, and her parasol. Her ticket was clutched in her gloved hand. Her hand was shaking. Suhara's parting words rang true in her head. yes, she would begin to regret this, in the coming years. Maelstrom would replace her, and her dear friend would fall deeper into the depressive state he'd been in. But...that cub he brought back with him would bring a revelutionaryy chaos she wasn't ready for.
