CHAPTER 5
When Gia arrived at the airport she was a nervous wreck, a paranoid nervous wreck. She kept looking over her shoulder wondering if one of Jonathan's employees was following her. She knew that first she had to get to New York, and then she'd decide where to go from there. She was scared that she'd be easy to trace if she just went straight to New York, so she decided she'd get there in a round about way. She knew that the first place Jonnie would look when he realized that she left him would be the bus station. "I can't believe it I'm even afraid to purchase a stupid bus ticket." She knew they would question the people who worked there, show them a picture of her, and then she could be caught. She was debating over what to do when she overheard a rather interesting conversation, between a woman who barely looked 18 and a man old enough to be her father.
Girl: Hey mister, you looking for a good time? I ain't that expensive. (The young girl was propositioning him, Gia couldn't believe it, and she was practically a child.)
Man: Well how much?
Gia was completely disgusted and felt bad for the girl, she wanted to help and an idea had dawned on her.
Girl: That depends on wha-
Gia: Um, excuse me.
Girl: Whadda ya want? (The young prostitute replied rudely.) Mind ya own bizniss I'm jus tryin' to get outta this town.
Man: Ugh this isn't worth it; I have a bus to catch home anyways.
Girl: (As her once potential client walked away she turned to face Gia,) thanks a lot bitch, now I hafta find someone else.
Gia: Wait no! I have a business proposition, and neither one of us will have to take our clothes off.
Gia had the young girl's attention, she was both intrigued and desperate she wanted to get out of town.
Girl: K, I'm Joey Donnell, whatta have in mind?
Gia: I need you to go buy me a ticket.
Joey: You runnin' away from something? (Joey raised an eyebrow, and was filled with curiosity.)
Gia: Why do you want to leave town?
Joey: So if I do this for you what's in it for me?
Gia wanted to laugh because she had so quickly changed the subject.
Gia: I'll give you twice the cost of the ticket.
Joey: So lemme get this straight, you give me money, I go buy a ticket, bring it back to you and you give me more money?
Gia: Yeah that's right.
Joey: Show me the money.
Gia pulled out some money with one hand and with the other felt the cold gun tucked in her pocket.
Joey: So where do you wanna go and what name do ya wanna use?
Gia told Joey her plan, and Joey understood and started walking towards the ticket counter.
Joey: Wait, what name?
Gia: Uh.(she had no idea) you pick.
Joey walked off to get the ticket and just couldn't believe her luck, enough money for a warm meal, bus ticket, and maybe even some left over if she was careful.
Gia breathed a sigh of relief as the girl walked off to buy her freedom, and waited nervously for the Joey to return.
Joey: Okay here's your ticket, where's my money?
Gia looked at the ticket.
Gia: Whose Jane Green?
Joey: You I guess, and my mother, (starting to get uncomfortable) I want my money.
Gia handed her the money knowing she had given her extra money, she knew that they both needed it equally as much.
Gia heard her bus being called and headed to board and silently wished the young girl luck.
Gia found her seat and was completely overwhelmed by fear and excitement. She made a mental list of all the things she'd have to do when she got to New York.
Find new identity. Change appearance.
It was a short list, but one that would completely change her life.
