CHAPTER 2

June 16, 2010 (AN:I was going to use Anna Kendrick's birthday, August 9th, but for the sake of the story I decided to make a birthday up.)

Benji and Stacie walked into Beca's house like they had agreed. Having graduated high school almost two weeks ago the three decided to travel the world. To their parents it was an excuse to get out of college. But to them they were expanding. They realized really early their potential and they weren't going to lie. The adrenaline rush got them hooked.

Now that Beca is eighteen they could leave. Beca's mother didn't want Beca to leave before her birthday and since they were leaving Beca's mother decided to throw a big party. The Beales were there and even if she didn't want them there her dad and step-mom were there.

Dillon and Ethan couldn't make it up from Miami but they called her. Jason and John were taking summer classes and so was Chloe. John and Jason called her at midnight just to be jerks and Beca was hoping for something from Chloe. But alas, nothing.

The party was in full swing when the doorbell rang and Beca went to greet whoever it was. She was surprised to see a UPS guy on her porch.

"Beca Mitchell?"

"Yeah?"

"Sign here." He hands her the stylus and the chunky device in his hand. Beca signs and he hands her a small box. It's a four by four inch box and three inches tall.

Beca carries the box to the kitchen and grabs a knife opening the box. The box is full of Styrofoam and she furrows her brow and digs through it. She grabs a smaller box out and opens it. She smiles as she pulls out a leather wrist cuff. Sewn into the leather there is a silver shield. But that isn't what makes Beca smiles the design on the shield does. On the shield there is two swords in an 'X' formation behind a pair of headphones much like the ones Beca keeps around her neck. This must have cost Chloe a lot. There is a note attached and Beca reads it.

"To my musically talented White Knight. Happy Birthday Beca. Your Princess. P.S. I loved my birthday present."

Beca puts the wrist cuff on and looks at the shield one more time before going back to joining the others.

PRESENT DAY

Amy and Beca walk into the kitchen with a suitcase and the three quickly crowd around them.

"Is that it?" Lilly asks and the two nod.

Beca places the suitcase on the table and opens the suitcase to reveal their payment for the artifact they got from Brandon. It was a great replica, the man didn't notice. Otherwise the guy they paid to act as their third party would have been shot.

"Are you guys done packing?" Beca asks and they nod. She notices their looks. "Brandon says we have to blend in and that means leaving the mansion and living in dorms for the year. The mansion will still be here when we get back. And we can come on the weekends. We live like fifteen miles from Barden." Beca points out.

"Party!" Amy shouts and Beca rolls her eyes knowing that is exactly what Amy and Stacie will be doing during the weekends. And since they live on a hill secluded from the rest of the neighborhood below no one will be calling the cops on them.

"Hey Beca?" Stacie calls as Beca leaves the room to finish her own packing.

"Yeah?"

"We've been here for almost five months now. Why haven't you gone to see Chloe?" Stacie asks.

She has a very valid point. Why they have only been at this since they were eighteen they've successfully completed many heists and since they were new they were a mystery to everyone. They picked up jobs through tactfully placed advertisements. Or someone would contact them and they would send a third party who would wear a pair of glasses that had a hidden video camera and could pick up audio. Five months ago they returned from their worldwide travels.

Amy's parents wanted their daughter to live comfortably and being the rich people they are made sure she and her friends had what they needed. The five were not expecting a mansion though. Amy is their hitter. She has no problem knocking a few heads. She can definitely hold her own. Most people underestimated her. But that's the point.

So why in the five months that they have been back has Beca not contacted Chloe.

"The thought never crossed my mind." Beca lies but they let it go as she leaves the room, her left hand clutching the wrist cuff on her right.

Beca has thought about it. She just didn't know what to say to the red head. She still doesn't know what she is going to say to the red head. She's just hoping when she does speak to the red head she doesn't sound and look like a complete idiot.

September 27, 2009

Beca was sat in the park making a mix. She didn't feel like going home and school had ended an hour ago. For her birthday last month her mom had bought her the newest software for her mixing and the equipment she had her eye on so mixing music was a lot easier and Beca had to agree that they sounded amazing.

She was in the middle of putting together a mix when someone sat down across from her at the picnic table she was occupying. She removes her headphones and lets them sit around her neck.

"You know I've seen you here a few times before." The man, a middle aged guy with salt and pepper hair and hazel eyes, says and Beca looks at him curiously. "I also witnessed you pickpocket that pickpocket to return some broad's wallet. You have potential to do so much more."

Beca scoffs. "And what? You're going to take me under your wing and teach me all you know?" Beca laughs and the man grins.

"Yes, actually." He holds out his hand. "Vince Gershwin."

"Beca."

"No last name?"

"I don't know you that well." Beca says. She shouldn't trust this man. But something about him draws her in.

"Meet me here tomorrow, if you're not interested I'll know." He gets up and leaves.

Beca doesn't know what prompted her to do it, maybe it was because she didn't have Chloe's good to level out her bad and maybe it was that Benji was making more friends and that meant more time alone for Beca and maybe it was in spite of her dad. But maybe it was the rush she felt when she got away with it. When she stole back that woman's wallet she felt something inside of her. Happiness? For whatever reason Beca came back the next day and that day started her path into the life she has today.

So what'd you think? Short I know and I will make it up to you in the next chapter. :)

Review please! :D
