"I'm drunk and not afraid to pull to trigger." Jessica hiccuped. "Come out, I know you followed me here." She reached for the gun in her waistband, and pointed it at the shadowy figure stumbling toward what used to be a living room. An exhausted looking boy with dirty brown hair and torn up clothes stepped into the room. His eyes widened and he raised his hands at the sight of the firearm. "I'm not looking for trouble." He said nervously. She stared at him questionably, finger still on the trigger. There was something familiar about him that she couldn't place. Jessica gave a short laugh and stood up, cautiously circling him. The only thing worth noting was how filthy he really was. When she got got to his face, she paused and looked him directly in the eye. He glanced at her , then back at the floor and cleared his throat nervously. "Who are you?" she said puzzled. He gulped and and raised his eyes to the gun barrel. Impatiently, she yelled "Who are you!" Her tone of voice made him jump and he tensed up even more. "My - my name's Connor." She tilted her head and blinked at him. He peered back at her, breath still shaky. She thought for a moment struggling between hope and confusion. Finally she shook her head and closed her eyes. Could it really be him? Should she even ask? "Connor.....Connor Thompson? " she finally stammered. His brow furrowed, "How did you know that?" She lowered the pistol, sighed and bit her lip. "It's me Jessica."

  • His Obsession

We were a team. A confidence team, gaining your trust and ripping you off for every penny we could squeeze out of you. Stealing millions between pickpocketing, elaborate schemes against the rich, and knocking off banks; we made it big. We were good, really good at what we did. This time we were too greedy. We couldn't pass up a 4 million dollar art con. Each couple would have walked away with 2 million dollars and we could have settled down and finally started the family we had talked about for years. But he disappeared......in the middle of the night, abandoning me. Until he returned with a bullet hole in his arm and desperation in his eyes. Begging me to help him one last time, but could I ever forgive him? Could I ever look past his betrayal of leaving me in Tennessee to fend for myself and fight off the cops myself? ●●●●●●●●●●●●●● "What were the first words you ever spoke to me?" He asked softly, his thumbs wiping away the wetness from my cheeks. "No." I choked out. "Don't! I don't want to say it." "You said...Hi, my name is Alexis and I just moved into my grandparent's house across the street. Can I play with you? And I knew the moment I laid eyes on you...." "You were 10 years old, you didn't know shit." I croaked. "I may have been 10, but I knew a beautiful girl when I saw one. And you blew the rest of the world out of the water. I may have saved you by leaving you in Tennessee, but at least you still had your grandparents. I had no one if I didn't have you."
