Gatta Live

Chapter Two

The house  was still very empty.She could be gone for weeks for all i know and i have no idea where she is.Isn't that why we have cell phones?So i know where she was?And not in a ditch somewhere?Deep breaths she was doing what we had to do.For us.

There was a knock on the door.

Hopefully that was her.

"Coming!!"I yell across the house.

i drag my feet across the house in my slippers.I looked threw the hole but i could see nothing.

I opened the door.Some reason it creaking and it didn't before.Only my life would seem like a horror movie at a time like this.

"Hey girl."He said leaning against my doorway now like he had some god givin right.

"Oh wow did daddy hire you someone to figure out where i live .?Do you know my favorite foods now to?Or just my address?"I folded my arms across my chest wanting him to get to the damn point while i had time in my do nothing day.

"I know your favorite color."He said smirking

"How do you know?"I said keeping my voice steady.

"Your slippers dummy no one buys a pair of purplle slippers unless they like the color."

For a split second he reminded me of me how i evaluated people in my free time.

I shook the thought he had daddy's money and i had my Mommy's dirty money.

"So i'd just like to say... i need rent or my dad does anyway."]

Of course !I thought.His dad has to be our landlord.

"Your house happens to be on the beach so we own it."

Wait..on the beach?

"Damn you.I could have stayed on the beach longer yesterday.You know it took me forever to fall asleep?I hope you have trouble sleeping tonight."

He smiled "Just give me the rent."

I reluctantly handed him the check."Anything else your majesty?"I say rolling my eyes

"Nope."he said looking at the check closely.

"Well than get out of my door way before i make you part of it."I start to close the door and he backs away.

I close it than thinking of something i find myself opening the door again.

"Hey rich boy!"I say as he almost outta my property.

"My favorite colors green not purple.Nice try though."

I closed it before i could see his face.

Or before he could notice that check defiantly wasn't ours.

So were not exactly legal.We do our best to try to be legal.But what we do you could really go to jail for.

At no point were we or ever going to be caught though.We had it down like easy math.

It was nothing like; taking candy from a baby because no one realized when you took candy from a baby it started to make noise and the mom comes along and catches you.Candy's already gone of course.But we knew better.

No one sees it coming.

"Daughter!"

I hear my mother yell.I quickly get up from the computer.

"Yes Mother."I say walking into the hallway wanting to yell at her for not calling but i didn't have the heart to she was working after all.

"We gatta problem."

She said looking a little nervous.

"Problem?"We have never had a problem since we started.Im surprised i still knew the meaning of the word.Problem was just another word that screamed and shouted "HEY I MESSED UP LOOK AT ME!"

"Mother what kind of problem?"

"Dean died two days ago and they suspect foul play."

Dean job number fifty two.The last job.we got away with allot of his stuff.Money and his trust.He had no idea what are real names were.No one knew our real names I'm pretty sure Ive forgotten my real name.There's no trace of us when we leave.Except the memory's of people that will recall my mom with him at "social functions" as my mom liked to call them.my mom did dye her hair everywhere she went.Every new town new hair color.All her tattoos were removed so she had none.Finding her would be nearly impossible.We would be okay as long as....

"I gatta lay low Daughter."

My eyes widened.

"Mother.How are we going to live? There is no way not without you doing your thing."

Yes we have money lots of it actually now we cant touch it though just in case any credit card transactions were traced.

"Daughter..."

She looked at me with a look Ive never seen before but some how knew exactly what it meant,

"Mother..no i cant not now."

"Were not discussing it." She said in the most final tone ive ever heard used towards me.

She got on the kitchen floor and pulled up a floor bored.Took out the smallest  filing cabinet you will ever see.She motioned me for her to hand her the key.I took off my shoe flipping up the sole.Retrievingthe small key.Opened it slowly going threw tons of fake birth certificates social security cards licenseand ids.Until she got to the very back puling out all my real information.Or someones real information because i haven't been that person in years.

She walked to the living room and lit a match and threw it all to burn in the fireplace.

"Trainings over Daughter."She says as she walks back to the kitchen.

For a split second i had to make sure the world was still turning.Because i was positive i just saw myself burst into flames.And i didn't feel a thing.
