Eveline had jogged all the way to the storage units, and surprisingly it wasn't that far. But by the time she got there, she was out of breath. She sneaked through the gates (an auction was going on) going unnoticed. She walked through aisles of the units, looking for A4. She couldn't help but walk down with her hand touching the units. It was bumpy. When she hit A4, she couldn't help but feel excitement. She dropped the note, and plugged the key into the hole. She jumped up and down, happy. Never has she felt like a spy. The lock fell off, as Eveline tried lifting the storage door...
Pile of boxes, it looked like a hoarder's room. Eveline looked through all the boxes, all of them labeled. They were all in different categories, there was one that even said ''TOP SECRET''. Eveline didn't bother to look through there, it was probably not what she was looking for. She stepped on clothes and bags, even a mattress. (That she thought that had bedbugs) She tossed out useless boxes, hearing the items break and scratch. She was always a person who wanted to use something up before buying more. After 20 minutes of searching through junk, she finally found the box labeled clothes. It was taped with duct tape, sealed shut. She remembered seeing a knife earlier, she ran back outside and looked through numerous boxes. She finally found the butter knife, but before she could she run back..She heard footsteps. Auctioneers were coming, and it looked like they were buying this unit. Eveline sprinted to the clothes box, searing through the duct tape with the butter knife. She grabbed the files since the rest of the box was really filled with clothes. She spotted the key and her hand reached down to get it. She quickly dashed off, with auctioneers shouting and wondering what she was doing.
''Hey hey! What are you doing?!'' the auctioneer shouted. He waved his megaphone at her, calling security to chase after her. But by the time security could catch up to the auction, Eveline was gone.
Breathing heavily, she passed by stores selling TV's. She felt like in cartoons, where you would see your face on TV while passing by electronic stores. And that what Eveline felt. But she wasn't hunted. She was labeled as missing. It was foggy at night, Eveline had enough time to find shelter. She roamed the streets looking, until she finally found a deserted building. She felt like years has gone by, everything so dirty and dusty. She found a spot in the corner of the building, that looked like a old parking lot. Eveline prepared herself, opening the files..
''10,000 dollars in American, Canadian, Japanese, and French..'' Eveline held the money in her hands like it was a baby. She held onto them tightly, smiling. She looked through the files even more, finding a key and papers.
INVENTION : SHRINKOMETOR
Intentions: Shrinking.
Code: 859720APID

Eveline chuckled at her father's overused ideas and invention names. She wasn't very impressed until her hand flicked to..
INVENTION : TAKER
Intentions: It can take files from computers, and Top Secret information from the minds of the government.
Code: 875656UIZN
Point it at the person, must be in 5 feet in range.
Eveline couldn't believe her father would make something like this. She shook the file, a scared smile cross her face. She could this to do anything, all her selfish thoughts flooded in. She snapped out of it, she had to do it for her father. But she couldn't save him in her current state. Luckily she ate before she jumped. Eveline took off her jacket, wrapping them around her legs. Her back was straight up, the wall keeping it up. Overnight it slowly bended, until Eveline was straightly on the floor sleeping.
The sun burned at Eveline's eyes, the crack making a opening way. Her breath smelled like chicken wings, having no toothbrush or toothpaste. She smelled from running so far away, Eveline decided to check into a gym. They always had showers.
Passing into the food market, Eveline looked at isles of toothpaste. Scared she would run out of money, she grabbed the cheapest toothpaste and toothbrush. She decided she would at least need some things, so she grabbed ahold of bags of chips and sodas. A T shirt, a redhead wig, followed by a Moo Town hat. She had all her supplies ready, a total of 100 American dollars. Eveline shrugged, and hurried to a gym. She placed her purse in her backpack, keeping a close eye as she showered. Through the little peak hole in the curtain, she made sure no one dared taking it. She finally let herself go, letting the hot water spray over her.
She pulled on a towel on one of the hooks. Eveline knew it wasn't her's, but that was her rude manners. She dried her hair, and then the rest of her body. She had two T shirts with PJ's in her bag. She put on a plain blue T-shirt, with cut off boot leg jeans. She still wore the same shoes. Eveline's next stop would be the library- to really find out who her father was. Her friend had taught her some hacking skills, she just hoped she could manage to scoop up some information.

So..You probably don't really get Eveline's personality. Well it will come along once the story kicks into action. I'm not really good playing out a mystery thing. Would this be a mystery or adventure.
