When Time Meets (With No One To Trust) -Original Short Story by Cecilia Okugo

 


When Time Meets (With No One To Trust)


Stranded at a gas station Sue moves quickly to escape the chase. Back at her motel. There is kicking a screaming at the door. She doesn't answer yet she hides. The banging got to be so much that the mirror broke in the restroom. 


Sue ran out and jumped in her car once the noise and banging subsided. While driving someone side swiped her car then fished tailed her car into a ditch. Sue got out and ran up a hill. What was Sue running from you say? Sue owed money to a loan shark who located her where abouts in a town outside Utah. While on the hill a woman directed her to a shed near a farm. 


There Sue met a man that would change the rest of her life. This man teachers her how to be on the run. First he shows her how to use a gun. Then he teaches her how to watch her surroundings. Then he teaches her to trust no one.


He confines Sue her to one place with no way out. This will help turn her into a beast when he unleashes her on the world she wont hold back all he has taught her. Lance did a number on Sue, he brainwashed all she knew of the world and made her hate it. Dressed in all black, Lance the man that showed her all she knows unlocks the door and told her she’s on her own. He gave her a gun, money and new identity. She cried. 


With some of Lance's conditioning, it made her fear being alone even though he taught her she had no one in this world. Women were mere tools to the man made world. The only way in was to take your place and the only way out was to kill or be killed.


One gun spree after another Sue found it hard to settle anywhere. Its like everything she knew was written on her face. She no longer was on the run, she had no family no friends. He past couldn't find her and her future was gone. She’d live day to day with what she knew about life. 


Finally she found a place outside of New York, where she’d meet a man full of all the lies the world taught him. She couldn't stand him, he was so full of the world that he didn't know who he was. So she did to him what Lance did to her. She made Tom forget his past and live for today. She broke him from all his beliefs in the common world and brought him into hers. 


They took no pictures, most places were off limits. They’d kill to survive. A hide when necessary.

This went on for years. Having kids was not an option for Sue they’d just slow her down, Life for the most part was very comfortable, Tom and Sue just couldn’t be found. They had the entire east coast looking for their where abouts. 


They later started working for the government and it wasn't long before they started to see how corrupt things were. They were tired of killing for their lives but the government made it hard to leave so they started their own operation. Taking in those who knew how to kill and get away with it. Their team was fifteen strong. Anything the government needed they had the people in place for it. One of Sue and Tom's people were followed back to there operation were their cover was blown. All shit hit the fan…….  With their backs up against the wall they headed out to one of their hide outs until the coast was clear. They packed and left town. They’d work for the government two more years until they have enough to save. Then they’d move overseas to a deadlier game. A Story of deceit, betrayal and death.
