Chapter 7

Ch 7

So many thoughts were rushing through my head. What is this feeling? I know I have feelings for Alex, I just didn’t know how much. Does he have feelings for me, I mean I know that he does and he knows that I know, but does he feel as much as I do? “Hannah?” I looked up from my notebook, Alex was standing in my door way. “Hey what’s up?” “Nothing, I was just wondering if something is wrong.” “Oh, no nothing is wrong… Why do you think something is?” “Kind of…” “Why?” “I don’t know, it just seems like there is something off, something different since we got back here.” “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I lied trying to hide my face, he lifted up my face with his hand and made me look him the eye, “Hannah, I care for you more than you may think, and if something is wrong then I need you to tell me.” “I know you care; why else would you be helping me like this.” “Don’t you understand? I don’t care for you like a friend or a brother would, I care for you like…” “Like what?” “I don’t know, it is too difficult to describe.” “I think know exactly what you are trying to say.” “Then you will be ok if I ask you something.” “Of course I would be.” “Hannah, will you go out with me, you know like be my girlfriend.” “Well it is about time you ask me that, of course I will.” I laughed and then he turned around to walk out the doorway, “I got to go run an errand, but I will be back soon.” “Ok” “Just one more thing.” “Ok, what?” “I am glad we are together.” I smiled “Me too.” “Bye” “Bye”

Chapter 6

Ch 6

I woke up and I looked across the hall to see Alex sitting on his bed reading looked to be a comic of some sort. He looked up from the comic he was reading and looked over to my room. He smiled and then went back to his reading. I looked over to the clock that was on the stand next to the bed to see it was already 12:30 pm. Wow he must have been waiting for me to get up, I looked over to see him already dressed. I got up and closed the door to get dress then made my way down the hall to where the bathroom was to brush my teeth.
I walked out of the bathroom to only run straight into Aden, “Just can’t keep your hands off me huh?” “You pig.” I pushed pasted him just to run into Alex next, “Didn’t you learn lesson from last night Aden?” “Oh that was just a little fun.” “Fun for who Aden, for you or her?” “Hey who is the one she ditched on the plane?” “I didn’t ditch you did I?” “Not really and even if you did, I forgave you.” “Oh how sweet but we all know how this going to go.” “Oh yeah and how is that Aden?” “You’re going to come to me like a moth to a flame. Once you have taken a taste of the bad side you’re going to come right back.” “Taste?” Alex looked at me, “Oh she didn’t tell you. We kissed.” “First off you forced yourself on me, second you missed and third I hit you in a certain place which was why you were on the ground in pain.” “You did what to her!” Alex was about to lunge at Aden when I pulled him back, “Alex, no don’t. He is not worth it.” “Fine, but listen here, if you ever touch her again I will come after you.”
He took my hand and led me down to the kitchen, “Why didn’t you tell me, I knew you didn’t want him to near you last night but you never said why?” “Because I didn’t want you to overreact and do something stupid, plus I can handle myself.” “Right” “What you don’t think I can?” “Sorry Hannah no, I don’t think so.” “Why?” “Well it not that I don’t think you can, but I think you wouldn’t last long. It is nothing personal it is just well never mind.” “Just what?” “It is nothing I just don’t want to see you get hurt.” “Alex I am bound to get hurt ok, my dad kind of left behind a mess that I have to help get him out of, but I think it is sweet that you are worried.” He smiled and blushed then pulled out a chair for me at the table. It smelled really good in there, I looked around and saw a large muscular man at the stove. Alex went over to him and started to talk to him. I heard a sneeze which made me jump out of my skin looked over to see the guy with the thick rim glasses fiddling around with a laptop next to me. “Morning Hannah, how did you sleep?” “Very well thanks.” “That is good to hear,” I smiled and started to fiddle with my necklace, “I see you are wearing the family crest.” “This?” I looked down to the weird symbol on the chain. “Yes it is the Conner family crest; your father wasn’t the only one in your family that was a thief.” “Really, can you tell me about my family?” “Yes I can, let see where to start. Well your father came from a long line of thieves, but then they got sloppy; your grandparents Beth and Chris left a trail and they found them.” “Who found them?” “The Vine Gang, a ruthless gang that competed with your family on heists. They kill your grandparents not knowing your father was in the other room hiding. Your father was sent to distant family until he was fifteen then he ran away, that is when he meet us. It was a rainy day, your father needed money, I needed food, Gabriel stole jewels for a girlfriend, and Michael needed meds, we were all running from the cops and ran into each other then help each other get away. Since then we have been best friends and watched over each other. We went on the greatest heist and adventures, and then Gabriel started to take things into his own hands. He tried to turn us against your father and almost did. We decided to kick him out while we were doing a job. Shortly after is when we meet your mom. Carmen was an inspector that seemed to be everywhere we were. There were times were we helped her but most the time she was trying to put your father in jail. Then one job changed everything, we assembled a huge group to take down Gabriel, and this is where I met my wife and same with Michael…but it didn’t end well. We all did our part and it was up to your father, there was a bang and we couldn’t find your father or Gabriel. That is until your mother’s promotion banquet, I was watching from a far and there stood your mother and your father. From what I had heard he had amnesia and didn’t remember anything or so we were led to thought, it turns out he remembers everything; and apparently Gabriel survived the blast as well and sent Penelope to look after your father and to take him away. So that is all I know of your father and this situation.” “And what of your wife I don’t see her here?” “Oh we aren’t together anymore, but you have met her though.” “Oh really who is she?” “Penelope was my wife.” “Wait what!” “She was wonderful but somehow Gabriel got to her and turned her against us. But that is over with for now.” “So now what do we do?” “Well continue with training and I will need you and Alex to run in town to a lecture that is being given. The lecture is at 3 pm so you have awhile to get ready.” “What is the lecture on?” “How to read people and someone’s life story which I think it be good for you two to hear.” “Well ok then.” I ate breakfast then got ready for our journey in town.
I walked down the hall to the door which we had entered from the day before, “Oh we are not going out that door.” I turned around to see Alex smiling at me, “Oh.” “Here let me lead you to the right door.” We walked back up the hall to the end to find another hallway leading to a single door at the end. Alex twisted the knob and opened the door. Outside was a balcony that looked over the small town that we were in. I looked to the right to see a winding staircase to the road. He led down the stairs and to the building across the street. He opened the door and there was a screen that was down and an overhead projector that was already showing a slide. We sat down at a table in the back of the room and soon after people started to flood into the room. The speaker walked in and started the lecture. The reading people’s faces and character part was fine and I kept interest but as soon as the speaker got to their story I was zoned out. I sat there watching the slides move, then I started to pay more attention to one thing more than the rest. I couldn’t help but happen to gaze over to my left at Alex quite often during this part of the lecture. It was like I couldn’t help to want to talk to him and pass a note like people would back in high school. He sat there paying attention completely to the speaker. It was obvious that I liked him and that those feelings were shared. We both knew the other knew, but it was like we didn’t know what to do about it. I had my left hand the table a mere inches away from his the entire lecture, just hoping that he would take it. But no that would be too easy. The lecture came to an end, and all I could recall was that the person had a couple rough years and then fate brought her (because well she was a girl) to meet her husband. And yeah that was all I could remember as we were leaving. “So what did you think?” “Wha-oh the lecture, I thought it was ok, how about you?” “I liked it actually.” “Well that is good.” We got back to the house and I went to my room to write about the day what I was feeling.

Chapter 5

Ch 5

We came upon what looked like a dead end in alley, but I turned to see a very small door in the corner. Aden tapped rhythmically on the door and then popped out a keyboard, and he typed in a password, just then the door open and so did the wall. A bright light shined as it open and we walked towards, I found it funny because usually people are like “don’t go towards the light” and what was I doing now. “Boss I brought you a little present.” Aden said as he walked towards a large man talking to a shorter man with big rim glasses, then I recognized them both. “Oh yeah and what is that?” he said as he turned around, “Alex?” “Yeah, hey dad.” “What, what are you doing here?” “I believe I am the reason for that.” “Hannah?” “Yeah.” “Where is your dad?” “That is why we are here.” I gave him the note and told him all that I knew.
“Well we need to get to work. Alex and Aden I need you two to help train Hannah, Aden I would like you to go first. Alex we need to talk in private.” “Ok dad.” he walked away with his dad. I turned around to see Aden with a big smirk on his face, “This will be fun.” I rolled my eyes and he gestured me over to a door. He opened the door and walked inside, I followed closely behind and then he closed it. It was pitch black in the room, “Aden where is the light switch?” “I will get the lights in a bit; right now we need to work on your ability to work in the dark, and to see how much fun I can have with it.” he said with a evil sounding laugh. Just then I felt something run past me grabbing at me. “Quit it Aden!” “Stop me and I will.” He laughed and grabbed me again, I could feel his breathe down my neck as he laughed, I swirled around to hit him but only to miss. I felt a force hit my legs and nock me down, I felt something touch my legs and pull me over. I looked up to see a little outline of Aden. I could see most clearly his smirk as he leaned over my body. He pressed his body against mine and I could feel that his face was mere inches away from mine. I really hope he is just kidding around.
Just then I felt his cold lip ring smash into the side of my face (good thing he missed), leaving me totally defenseless, or so he thought. I kneed him right where he did not want to get hit. I got up and made my way to the door as quickly as I could. Just then the door flung open before I could even get to it. A figure reached over and turned on the lights, when the lights went up I could see it was Alex. I looked at me and then at Aden lying on the ground in pain, he looked really pissed at first but then something unexpected happened. He laugh, he just stood there looking at Aden laughing, then came over to me and wrapped his arms around my shoulder still laughing, “Remind me not to mess with you.” He led me down a hall to a door at the end, “Here is your room, it has been a long day and you should get some rest.” “Ok but what if—” “Don’t worry he won’t be able to get past me,” he put hands on my shoulders and looked me in the eyes, “I am right across the hall and I sleep with my door open so.” “Ok, thanks.” “You’re welcome Hannah.” “I mean for everything, I could never do this without you.” He blushed and kissed my forehead, “Goodnight Hannah.” “Night.” I turned and opened the door then turned on the light and then went to bed leaving my door open.

Ch 4

Chapter 4

Alex opened up the laptop and opened up a map, “Ok so here is where the airport is, and my dad’s safe house somewhere around here.’ he pointed to a spot on the screen, “What do you mean by somewhere? Don’t you know where your dad’s safe house is?” “Yes and no, you see it wouldn’t be a safe house if everyone knew where it was. He has multiple ones and thing we need to figure out which one he is at right now.” “Alright and how do we do that?” “Easy, he doesn’t go to these two here in spring,” he pointed to a certain area, “and these are right next to each other so we can check both.” I nodded and looked to the map. “So what are we suppose to do when we find your dad?” “Not sure, I guess give him the notes and explain the situation to him.” ‘Sounds like a plan.”
“If you guys don’t mind I can tell you where your father is. Oh and sorry for eavesdropping… again.” “Wait you can?” Alex said glaring at Aden, “Yeah if I have figured this out enough your Michael’s son and um I am not quite sure who you are related to…” “I am Hannah Conner, Simon’s daughter.” “Wow so you’re the great Simon Conner daughter, I had only heard stories of your dad and mom, just not a lot about you.” “So what is your story?” Alex said looking kind of worried, “Me well I am Gabriel’s son.” “Gabriel?” “The tall skinny one in the photo.” Alex said referring back to the day before, “Wait you’re his son?” “Yeah, and please don’t hold me to my father’s action. You know the whole ego manic thing with trying to over throw your father…” “Ok.” “Wait, do you not know what your fathers’ did?” I looked over to Alex who was almost just as clueless as I was, “Our fathers’ were thieves, and they held grand thefts. Legend has it there is even a vault holding it all, though my dad didn’t know where. Apparently Hannah here her father is the only one who knows where it is and he is the only one with the key. So I guess you could say we are all connected to each other’s past.” “Yeah I guess so.” “Now back to you leading us to my dad’s safe house.” “Well that is simple, I kind of work with your dad, almost like an apprentice.” “Apprentice, how so?” “I help keep things quiet, clean up the houses, run errands; which is was what I was doing in the US.” “What business does my father have in the US?” “According to him there was a spy watching over Hannah’s family, but when I got there everyone was gone.” “Wait there was a spy watching over us?” “According to Alex’s dad yes, do you recognize this woman?” he handed me a photo.
“Yes, yes I do. That is Penelope, she was our maid.” “Right under your father’s nose she was in communication with someone the entire time, we just don’t know who.” “You would think my father would have suspected something.” “I think he started to, I doubt your father being who he is would look over that.” Alex said putting hand on my shoulder and smile at me, then the seatbelt sign went on and the plane shortly landed after that. Then we made our way to the safe house.

Chapter 3 of A Secret Past

I woke to see Alex fiddling around with the laptop. I looked out the window to see what was before the ocean now to be a wide stretch of green lush grass. I looked over to Alex, “Wow it is so beautiful!” I looked back to the window, “Yes yo—it is very beautiful.” I looked back over at him but he was already looking the other way. “How much longer do you think it will be until we get there?” “Two more hours.” A voice from the row in front of us said. I looked up to see a guy leaning over his seat, he had black face eating hair, snake bites piercing, ice blue eyes and his ears were gauged. “Sorry I didn’t mean to seem like I was eavesdropping it’s just I am up here alone and it has been a very long ride.” “Oh it is ok, I totally understand.” “The name is Aden.” “Hannah, and this Alex.” I gestured over to Alex and he nodded. “So where are the two of you off to, if you don’t mind me asking?” “Oh just to visit his dad.” “Oh I see, asking for his blessing?” he pointed down to my ring, “Oh ha-ha, no this is my promise ring, and we are just friends.” “Oh that is good.” “It is, why?” “Well a pretty thing like you being engaged so young well it just isn’t right, well unless it was me you were engaged to.” He said with a smirk and winked at me, of course being me I blushed. I looked over to see Alex glaring at Aden, “So Hannah how old are you?” “Me? Oh I am seventeen, you?” “I just turn nineteen last week. How about you?” he looked over to Alex, “Twenty- one” “Wow your old, so you two are just friends right?” I looked over at Alex for an answer but he wasn’t a lot of help, “Yeah we’re just friends.” “Sweet deal, well this seat next to me is empty if you want to sit with me.” “No thanks, I need to talk to Alex about some things.” “Ok well if you change your mind I am up here.” I smiled then he turned and sat back down.
I turned to Alex, “Well people in Italy sure are friendly.” I chuckled, “A little too friendly for my taste,” he said still glaring at the back of Aden’s head, “don’t you think it was strange how he wanted to know all about us and where we were going?” he leaned in to my ear, “Hannah you have to remember that we are running from the people who took your father and anyone here could be a spy.” I pulled away, “Yeah even you.” “Why would I be a spy, your father told me in his note to take care of you and get you to see my dad?” “Yeah well haven’t you heard of a double agent?” I got up from my seat and started to walk pass him, “Where are you going?” “To go sit with Aden.” He tried to block me but I pushed past him and turned to sit next to Aden. “So I see you got bored with your little friend. Why don’t you see how much fun you can have with a real man.” he smirked and winked at me. Wow isn’t he full of himself, in my mind Alex is more of a man than he is. “Look, I am just here to talk.” “You say that now, but you will warm up to me in no time, you’ll see.” “Right… So do you live in Italy?” “Yeah, you?” “No, I am from the states.” “I should have known, because there is no way I would have missed a pretty face like yours before.” I laughed, “Thanks, well where I am from not many guys would say that.” “No?” “No. I wasn’t considered pretty at my old school.” “Well I think you are more than pretty, I think you are beautiful, and so does your friend back there.” “Wait, what?” “You should have heard what he was saying to you as you were sleeping. That was why I thought you two were engaged because of the way he was talking to you.” “Really? Wow and I was so mean to him just now.” “I don’t want to lose you but, I think you should go talk to him.” I smiled and walked back to my seat to find Alex wasn’t there. I sat down and looked at the seat next to me; I looked to the window and stared out it until I felt a shift in the seat next to me. I looked next to me to see Alex sitting next to me, “Where did you go?” “I had to go, not like you would care where I was though. So what did you get tired of Aden?” “Look I do care and no about Aden. I just found out why you were so annoyed with Aden besides the fact you didn’t trust him.” “Oh?” “Yeah, he told me, about what happened when I was asleep last night, about what you said.” He looked down at his hands, “Wow he really is nosey.” “There is nothing to be embarrassed about it; I think it is sweet.” his head shot up and looked at me “Really? You really think I am sweet?” “Yeah, I really do.” He smiled and got out the laptop, “Well there are some things we need to talk about before we get off this plane.”

Ch 2

I looked out the window, “I hate flying…” I muttered under my breathe, “Me too.” Alex leaned in as he said it then reached over me and pulled down the shade. “So how long is this flight?” he laughed “Long, very long.” I laughed and pulled out my bag and pulled out the folder my dad had left me. Inside there were old photos, forms, profiles, emails, and phone numbers. I looked at the photos and I recognized my dad but he was with three other guys I have never seen before, one was short with big rim glasses, one was really tall and big he was also where a full face mask that only didn’t cover his mouth, and the last one was a wicked looking guy who was tall and skinny; my dad stood between the big one and the little one, he was a medium height wearing a mask that covered his eyes and he held some sort of weird looking cane, I touched the necklace my dad had given me and the symbol looked like the cane. Alex looked over to the photo and pointed at the big one, “That is my dad.” “Really?” “Yeah, and that little guy his name is, Ben he was the brains. My dad was the muscle I guess, your dad was the leader he could sneak around with out a sound or so I have heard from the stories.” “Wow, what about him?” I pointed at the tall skinny one, “Him well all I heard about him was he was like your dad, but not as good and that he tried to take over.” “Oh, so what did our dads do?” “I am not sure, my dad never really told me.” I looked back down at the photo and went on to the next and was shocked with what I saw. There was a photo of my mom, she was holding a gun and standing on a roof; she was wearing tight fitting jeans and cropped shirt that was under a jacket, her curly brown hair was flowing in the wind. “What is wrong?” “Huh?” he ran his finger up my face to catch a tear “Oh sorry… it is just I really miss my mom.” “I know how you feel, my mom died during my birth.” He took the photos and pulled up a photo that had his dad and a lady in a wedding dress holding hands and laughing. “She was pretty.” “Thanks.” We looked into each others eyes something felt so strange I couldn’t place my finger on it. He turned his head, “Well we should try to get some sleep.” “Yeah, we should.” I turned my head and opened the shade and stared out into the world and slowly drifted off into sleep.
