The Mobster's Daughter: Chapter 10

"Are you effing kidding me right now!?" I screeched, holding my head when the sound reverberated through my skull.
"Calm down, we'll get the next one." Liam grumbled, looking at the huge red 'cancelled' sign next to our flight.
"Gosh dammit!" I yelled, frustrated.
"Do you want something to eat?" Liam asked, raising one eyebrow.
"No," I shook my head. The mere through of food caused my stomach to roil uncomfortably.
"Alright. Well, what do you suggest we do while we wait, Miss Stone?"
I tapped my chin thoughtfully, "I Spy."
He snorted, settling further into the hard plastic chair.

"Please. My mother used to play it with me... before... she..." I trailed off, swallowing thickly, and blinking against the sudden stinging in my eyes.
Liam regarded me for a long moment, before he let out a sigh. "Fine."

I grinned, looking around the crowded airport until my gaze settled on Liam's eyes. I quickly glanced around again, letting a smirk settle onto my lips while I looked toward the doors. That should have thrown him off the scent.
"I spy, with my little eye something that is... blue!"
Liam looked in the direction of my smirk, then all around the airport.
"The flight announcements?"
I shook my head, smiling slyly. "Nope."
"The sky?"
I shook my head again. Liam made several more guesses, before he let out an exasperated sigh and gave up.
"Your eyes!" I announced, grinning deviously.
"You're some sort of evil genius." He frowned.
"Muahahaha." I did my best impression of a mad scientist.
"No, no." Liam corrected, "like this."
That set us off into an evil laugh contest, which resulted in our getting kicked out of the airport until our next flight.

We were standing at the edge of the woods, while Liam looked around, grimacing every so often.
"So... Do we sit in the car?" I whispered.
Liam shook his head, "too risky."
"Well. If everything's too risky, how 'bout we go to Italy, change our appearances and names." I suggested, half-heartedly as I counted up our remaining money. More than enough.
"That's actually a good idea, but do you think it would throw them off?"
I shrugged, "as long as we get rid of anything that might have a tracking device before we catch our flight."
Liam groaned, leaning against a tree. "This is turning out to be way more work than I signed up for."
I scoffed, "well sorry I'm giving you so much hassle."
He turned his head to look at me, alarm crossing his features. "C'mon Belle, you know I didn't mean it like that."
"Whatever," I waved him off, "look, some guy's snooping around your car."
"He better be checkin' for a parking pass." Liam muttered, glaring at the intruder.
"Look! He's going into the airport, let's go!" I bolted off into the trees, running parallel to the parking lot, keeping it in view, but making sure nobody could see me.
A hand came down on my shoulder and I let out a startled shriek, falling to the ground.
"Hello Belle."
