Chapter 3 The killer's life

VICTORIA FLYNN

"Felicity Todd, Felicity Todd, Felicity Todd. Can't they stop saying my name for one minute? There must have been a hundred dangerous murderers or thieves better than me. Isn't it right?" I asked the fake security guard in frustration. My pink hair is falling on my face continuously as we ran into safety away. Helicopters have been searching for me from above. It's not even an hour since I have escaped from prison. Here I'm, hiding from the Helicopter lights and police.

"Those thieves haven't broken out of the prison as you did. If you could just shut your mouth for a minute, I will concentrate on taking you to sir August. I'm already risking my life to save yours." He complained as I followed him onto an empty road with fewer houses and lights.

"If you are afraid, just fucking leave. I will manage it on my own with no one's help." I snapped. I can do it. It's just August, my boyfriend, who got a few guys wrapped around in his hands. They are pretending to be guards and entered the prison with some tactics. I ended up in jail after murdering someone and stealing 20,000 dollars from the central bank. Whatever I had done was not for my benefit. I killed a boy in high school who bullied my brother. That motherfucker broke my brother's arms and made him stay in hospital for weeks. I couldn't control myself if someone messes with my brother and sister. I stole that lump of money to make a living for my siblings.

"I can't go further. Get into the telephone booth and call your boyfriend. We have arrived in a busy street away from the prison and the roaming police cars. Don't---"

"That's enough. I can do the rest." As a said those words, he nodded and ran from the way he came. Next time I get arrested, I shouldn't allow myself to get help from anyone. No one should say what I should do or I shouldn't.

I kept my hoodie on and walked like a normal young woman walking casually in the busy streets of Illerora. I'm defiantly not looking normal, but I know people are too busy when Halloween is only five days away.

I went into the telephone booth and called August's number. I waited impatiently, even when it only took ten seconds for him to attend the call.

"Hey, get your car here in Paper street. I will be standing next to the telephone booth."

"On my way, baby." I bet he's smiling right now. He must be excited to see me after two months of talking over the phone with timelines in prison.

After a few minutes, I saw a blue Kia Rio car that stops right next to me. He's in time. Now, I'm completely safe. I got into the back seat, closing the door.

"Start driving. Now." I yelled as he started the engine.

"Is this how you greet your boyfriend after three months of a long-distance relationship, baby?" He asked, looking back a little.

"I know. I know. But I'm not going to ask sorry. I got at an enormous risk of getting out. You do not know how bad it feels." I told him, looking at my bloody hands. After all the chaos, I'm feeling the pain of the injuries I got in my body. A dressed-up fake guard who knows August unlocked my cell and got me out. On my way, I got caught by two other real guards. I tackled them both and ran for my life who have already warned the others. I broke a window from the second floor and escaped. I could have died if I stepped one wrong foot. When my feet touched the ground, the scared fake guard took me to paper street.

It wasn't the craziest escape mission I had in my life, but it made me so anxious.

"I do know the feeling. I have been working for a mafia gag before I got kicked out. I bet I have told you everything about it." August said, taking a turn.

"Yes, you did." Suddenly I became silent thinking about everything he has shared with me, but I haven't. There are some secrets which I will take to my grave.

"So, how did you get this outfit? Especially the Hoodie. Did those guards lend you---?"

"Oh, don't be silly. Some sewing girl made it for me."

"Made it for me? Impossible to believe." August knows I'm lying.

"Finnee. I stole it. She can easily make another one if she wants."

By the time, we have reached August's apartment. How am I going to get in without the security guard suspecting that Felicity Todd is out here?

"Hey?" I called August.

"When we get outside, act like you are deeply engaged in a conversation with me. Don't let the guard see my face. If something goes wrong, I will manage." I told him, getting out of the car.

"You always have a solution, don't you, baby?" He smiled to himself and got hold of my hand after a long time. I'm already half-home. When I visit my little siblings, my heart will be filled with pleasure.

"When are you going to take me on a date?" I randomly started some questions to act normal, like everyone else.

Once we reached the lift, I'm about to press the button for the third floor. But who knows someone's going to enter with us? A man in his thirties in a cop uniform is walking towards the lift. He's looking at his watch. If he lifts one eye, I'm down. Why does a cop have to live in this apartment?

"Fuck!!" I cursed and turned to August. I pulled him closer and kissed him deeply before the man sees me. I have to be careful in everyone's eyes.

"I didn't expect this, baby." August kissed me back roughly like he's starving. From the side of my eyes, I saw the man looking at the floor uncomfortably. He's probably worried about his decision to get in the lift with us.

August and I kissed and kissed until we reached the right floor. When the man was finally gone, I tried to break the kiss. But I can feel that August is turned on. I can feel the bulge in his pants.

"Okay. Okay. Stop. The cop is gone." I stepped away, fixing my hair.

"The cop... is that why you kissed me? Didn't you miss me at all?"

"No... No... I mean yes. I have missed you so much, August, but we are not alone yet and I'm defiantly not safe. You don't want me to get back in prison, right? Do you understand me now?" I whispered, placing my hands on his chest.

"I absolutely do. But even if we go back to my house, you can't go out ever. Illerora police department won't leave you alone." He said with concern.

"I know what I need to go. I have to become my own self." I told him.

Felicity Todd is the identity I stole long back ago. Now, it's time to restart my life as Victoria Flynn.

"My savage Victoria is back," August commented, as his face brightened.
