Sleeping after I had to work had never bothered me. Getting up to file in the report to get paid however. Sleep was my dear friend. We were very close. I had slept in the stolen blue dress. I walked to my dresser and grabbed a pair of yoga pants and a tee shirt.
I slipped the shirt on over my bra and grabbed my purse off the table. I had pulled all of my blond hair extensions out last night and cleaned my face of the makeup. My natural black hair fell in waves around my face. I had pulled the blue contacts out of my eyes and my brown eyes had looked at me this morning. I grabbed my small purse off the table and walked to my car.
It wasn't the work Corvette I usually drove. I hopped into my mini and drove to work.
I walked into the office and pulled my sunglasses off. People were running around pulling papers and shredders were going crazy. I ran to Mick's office. He had all his stuff in a box. "What the hell Is going on?" I asked.
He picked up his box and started at me "the government is on to us. You have to go. You have no record of being here, but you have to move.
He shoved me out the door, but not before handing me an envelope. It slammed behind me. I walked to my car and opened the envelope while it started. It contained the money for the kill, money for my sold house, plane tickets to Texas, and money to move and start a new life. To say the least it was a very thick package.
There was also a letter in it. It read
Dear Justice,
Our corporation has been discovered. We are shutting it down. For your safety we are sending you to Texas. You will start a new life (you can keep your name) , and turn your back on being a hired killer. Please do this as only last favor.
— Mick
I sat there staring into nothing. I threw the letter into my passenger seat and drove home to pack.
****
Home was usually a good place. Now it seemed lonely. Empty. All my stuff had been packed up and was gone. There was a note on the counter. "We sent your things to your new house in Texas.
With love, Cactus
She had been my only friend and now I had to leave. I grabbed my purse and drove to the airport.
I have a few other crappy stories, but I hope his one is better. Thank you!!!!!
