“I will tell you guys about it but first get in the car everyone.” Lillian said.

“Car! Where are we going?” Ben asked looking up from his perfect marshmallow.

“I promised Owen not to be a spoil fun, but there is no fun here to spoil. No offence, Liam. I just want to ensure you guys have a good time so just get inside the car. We are going somewhere special.”

“Sure, I will bring the car.” Deb said and 20 minutes later they were all settled in the car with Lillian in front this time to help Deb with directions.

“Okay, now the story.”  Lillian began, sitting slightly tilted to get a view of all of them together. “I guess you guys have right to know it, I was born in Nebraska and I was 3 when I met Owen and 4 when my mom and dad died. I was sent to foster care and then I went to different states with 11 foster families. I saw tons of people, some who loved me like their own kids and some who considered me a burden. One of my many families used to make me work like a servant and other used to beat me for no reason. I have even got scars on my back to prove this. Then finally my eleventh one was a single dad with a dark history. He loved me a lot and was a mafia. I survived happily with him until one day he was killed in front of my eyes. Many things happened that day and all of it was sudden and unclear. I met Tris that day and decided that she, just like me, had no family so I took her in. I was 17 back then and Tris was just 12. I ran away from the state and we moved back to Nebraska and somehow Owen was still here. This was all 5 years ago though. Frankly speaking, for me, it’s all in the past. After the death of my 11th ff, I had nothing left but Tris and so my life started revolving around here. I started working to give her a better future. I am no criminal but I have done some things in my past that are unforgivable. You see I am the most wanted girl not the most dangerous one.”

Tires sound was the only sound heard. Owen was holding Tris’s hand while Liam was looking at space. Ben was too stunned to speak. Deb had turned the music off and was driving at average speed glancing at Lillian repeatedly.

“You and Tris are not siblings?” Deb asked breaking the silence.

“No.” Lillian replied.

“Yes we are. We are sisters by heart and Lillian, just know that I love you immensely and nothing, I mean nothing can change it.” Tris said smiling at her.

“Phew! One can seriously make a movie about you. Man, I get it why you are so scary now.” Liam said and after 2 seconds, everybody burst out laughing.

“God, you know how to make dumb comments.” Owen said after laughing his mind off.

“Will you guys ever NOT make fun of me?” Liam asked laughing a little and soon the car came to halt in front of a big club.

They entered the club and instantly were hit by smell of sweat and cigars. The music was too loud and throbbing under their skin. Millions of people were dancing and drinking in the big hall with barely any light to see. Lillian gestured them to follow her and they squeezed their way to the staircase where a huge man was standing with his arms cross.

“I am here to meet TJ.” Lillian said to the guy, who made no movement at all and Tris seriously doubted that he was a statue.

“Milan, I am here to meet vector.” At this the guy jerked his head down and carefully examined Lillian. After a few second of him scanning her, a small grin spread on his face and he nodded his head towards her.

“Virago” The words escaped his mouth and Lillian too started smiling and nodding her head. He walked them to a small area fenced by glass on three sides where three couches and two bean bags with a table in between were facing the party. The bar was behind the smaller couch.
