LEGACY
CH:1- Shadows
Six months before...
The figure walked down the street the wind was playing in her hair and the rain was falling like the long tears from the grayish-blue clouds or were they the eyes that seemed more to the figure who walked down the pathway not carrying for the falling rain that hit her face and the whipping sound of the wind causing her hair to fly in the all directions. The eyes of the figure were focused on the street before her. Nor she was turning around to look if she has been followed or not, she simply walked until she reached the destination the small cafe and the bookstore on the second floor.
Slipping inside she shook her hair allowing the silver drops of the rain to fly around her form and twinkling in the dim light of the lights like the tossed diamonds. Her eyes scanned the ground and they were almond shaped deep color of the dark burned amber with the slight hints of the gold around the irises the same shade of her hair that was the dark auburn with the gold and reddish highlights falling down the sides of her face to come to rest at the middle of her back in the loose waves.
The young woman was in her early twenties and there was nothing special about her for she was dressed in the dark business suit containing of the jacket and pants. The only color was her dark green silk shirt of high quality and probably some high fashion designer. Over her suit she wore the dark trench coat that come to her knees and there was no hood or the umbrella in her hand for being outside in this cold and rainy day.
Few heads turned as she passed by but she hardly noticed them as she walked going up the stairs to the bookstore her eyes scanning the ground. As she reached her office she slipped in closed the door behind her walking toward the desk only to find the large envelope lying there.
Quickly tearing the top she pulled the contents from the envelope containing several passports with the different names but same pictures of her and of course the gun.
Seating down she unlocked the drawer next to her chair and pulled out the case and opened it. Inside was several bank cards, master cards and visas and contact lenses containers containing the colored contacts that were displayed in the passports and the money of the different currencies of the countries of the Europe. Then she gathered the money and returned the case back as she closed it down and put into the drawer once again.
Her eyes drifted back at the picture on her desk displaying the woman with dark auburn hair and dark eyes and a man with the dark hair and blue eyes. She traced the image with her finger.
" I am coming back father, " and with that Marie Helene Bourne stood up and walked away form the office.
