Revenge. Too little dissatisfys and too much kills. Literally.

I'm Rose Hathaway and I'd spend half of my lifetime juggling revenge and life itself. Some people call it a double life, others call it an alter ego. I call it a hard 'n' busy life. 'Cos my life was never easy from the minute i knew that i supposedly wanted for murder, selling classified information, theft, hacking into the FBI's system and the list goes on. Whoever had framed me had made sure i had suffered the worst of the worst and made a dent in my previously happy life. If you call working as a spy for the FBI happy.

I'd admit, it had stung when the company i had worked for tirelessly and faithfully turned around and stabbed-or tried to-me in the back. Figuratively and literally. With the help of my loyal friend-the only one left at that time, really- i fled to NYC. The most unpredictable for a spy to flee to. Who would, in their right mind, when they're on the run, go to the busiest and most populated city on Earth?Me, of course. Now, i spend the rest of my hard-working life teaching art and a part time self-defense class. The only link to my dark and tainted past. My new-found friends-Lissa, a graduating doctor and Mia, a beautian and part-time plastic surgery would be shocked to think that I, a seemingly obedient, loud and supposedly college graduate was and is still, a spy?

Being chased out has it perks, being accidently attacked by your mobster father was one of them. Despite his shady background and cocky attutide, we managed to work together. I just stay low for him, and he tips me off the FBI's trusted agents. Even if I have to kill for information, I will do anything to clear my name. I'm slowly gathering enough information to bring down the FBI, but word has it that there is a bigger party. I have a feeling more will join the game. I don't know if they're on my side or not. But I don't won't need the help. For 5 years I've stayed alive. And i will continue to do so. Agent Rose Hathaway is yet to make an appearance.

The cops are on high alert for me. But I'll be waiting. Years of practice comes in handy now. Because I'll always be waiting and watching. Always.
