Thanks for clicking on this story I hope you like it. I know its iffy but I tried really hard so please go easy on me lol. Enjoy.:) and I hope the characters aren't too OOC...

You can call me a thief, criminal, or looter, and I wouldn't be offended. That's what I'm, a taker of things that catch my eye. I'm fairly good at what I do and with as much practice as I've had, I still slip up occasionally. And sometimes, if luck is on my side, my plans can be damn near perfect.

A good thief knows her limits, strengths, and weaknesses. Yet one can suffer the consequences of being cocky. Get too confident and you might attract the wrong kind of people.

in this line of business there's a 50/50 chance it could end with you going from broke as hell to practically swimming in money or finding yourself at the bad end of a gun. I know from experience. It's always good to know how to bullshit your way out of situations and then run like hell when you have them distracted.

A couple of weeks ago a man named Moriarty contacted me, offered some sketchy proposals, I panicked. Not the bright thing to do, but I had heard things about him. Things that I would love to avoid. So I refused and hauled ass. Needless to say I pissed him off. He offered me a generous s of money to help him get dirt on a few people and break into some places.

Normally I would have said yes, but when he told me he wanted dirt on very important and powerful people, I declined, because there was no way I was stupid enough to try to break into the vault of England.

Now I know what he plans and that makes me a liability. Which means He either wants me to accept or he'll kill me.

And that's what leads to my current location, hiding out in a small adobe house in Roswell, New Mexico, trying to stay awake.

I was sitting on the couch. My head resting in the hand propped on the arm of the couch. My cellphone in the other. I was waiting for a call to be updated on Moriarty's movement so I could estimate how long before my location was compromised, again.

The sudden sound of the air conditioner kicking on startled me, causing me to drop the phone. I sighed and rubbed my face, letting out a chuckle. I was being stupid, acting as if some boogeyman was gonna jump out at me any second.

I stood from the couch and picked up my phone to set it on the side table and step up and into the kitchen for something to drink. I smiled when I found a frozen margarita pack in the freezer and eagerly poured it into a red solo cup.

It wasn't long before I heard my phone going off and I quickly picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Ghost." Came an amused voice."Or should I say...Tegan Gillespie."

I dropped the cup and began checking all the windows.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I lied? Trying to stay calm as I rushed for my suitcase." My name is Amanda. I think You might have the wrong number."

"Nah, I think it is you. I offered you a chance to do somethings for me and was willing to pay you a lot of money." His voice started growing darker." But you threw it back in my face. That hurts."

I tried to respond but my nerves got to me and I was breathing so hard I couldn't speak. I ran for the door but stopped. What if he had someone waiting for me outside?

He chuckled.

"Scared huh? That's adorable. You think you can hide from me? I can take you out any time I want."

"I won't take the job." I said firmly.

"This isn't about the job." He shouted." It's about a stupid little bitch thinking she can so rudely reject my generous offer."

"Screw this!" I hung up the phone and dashed out of the house and into my car. I had to get the hell outta dodge and quick.

But where could I go? Who could I stay with? I racked my brain around till I came to two possible conclusions. 1) Go stay in another hideout somewhere. 2) get out of the country and disappear for good. Damn, this is bad for business.

I hope you liked this sample. I know it could use some work but I really tried hard on this and hopefully someone will be interested. Please review to tell me what you think or if you have a question feel free to ask and don't be afraid to alert lol. Until next time:)
