Amelia worked for the government? When did this happen? I wondered as I heard Amelia take a calming breath before carrying on.
"Amelia worked in the depths of the government, so deep that we didn't even know what she was doing. The only thing I knew was that she was working with some dangerous people and objects."
Gamorah shook her head. No way. This is not good if this is going to turn out the way she thinks it will.
"Cameron walked up to me one day. He was sweet as can be. Albeit a bit of a klutz." She sighed, seeming to remember the meeting fondly. "He said he worked with Amelia and came to me to ask where she was. And I told him her home address and phone number, because I trusted him way too easily." A small tone of remorse slowly seeped into her words, causing the bright tone she had earlier dimming into grey.
"He kept coming to our house, even after I gave him the information for my sister. He asked me about myself, and I asked about him as well."
She sighed. She sounded worn out, and tired of all this crap that's happened in her life.
"I just realized how little I knew about that man. Yet I trusted him more than my sisters. Hindsight twenty twenty."
Gamorah chuckled at that phrase. She hadn't heard it in a long while. It reminded her of good times.
"Well, after a few months, Cameron offered me a job, and, since I had nothing else to do, I took the job. He said the job was important!" She laughed at this statement, like it was the funniest thing in the world.
"The job was hacking into a government facility that had the nuclear launch codes of the entire USA." She continued flatly, the humor gone from the tone.
"Sad thing is, I was good with hacking because I had way too much time on my computer that taught me all that I know. But this security was a challenge to break through! I give props to the government, they sure do know how to defend something really important that can destroy the entire country!"
Lilly sighed once again. She sure does sigh a lot. Gamorah thought before the recording continued.
"But....... I broke through. I got the codes. And I gave them to a total stranger I just met. And, to top it all off! My sister was the one who saw me talking to him. Apparently he's a well known criminal named Cameron Smith, who's been after the codes for a while. Here's the thing they forgot to mention.
He's the leader of an extensive underground organization of hackers, assassins and burglars."
Gamorah head a slight click in the recording, probably a sign that it was recorded later.
"Gamorah, listen. They forced me to kill my sister and now They are after you. I found the organization. Its huge, almost everyone knows it, its call-"
The door slammed open behind Gamorah, making her jump and whirl around, face to face to a man in a white mask.
"Oh poor poor child." He said in a deep gravelly voice.
"Little Gracie, this strange house, you never ever should have found this house."
The man attempted to grab her by the hand, but she pulled him by it and kneed him in the gut. The man grunted in pain, but she felt his arm surround her.
"Another child went astray."
These were the last words that she heard before he pulled a cloth over her mouth, a sickening sweet smell overtaking her senses, until her world faded to black.

Hi!
Its me again!
And I am very sorry for doing this to you people.
I have been a very bad author........
Probably because I became more trash than I already am.
Also because I may or at not have caught up on Nanatsu no Taizai.
But anyway, I'll try to be more consistent with my publishing, ok?
Have fun!
MeowstickCats out!
