I dig through Harrison’s desk and find a blank envelope. After placing it inside and sealing it shut, I sit back in my chair.

The only thing left is to mail it, and I know just the man to ask.

“Hey Trigger, can I talk to you for a second?” I give a small smile to the other men in the group he was chatting with.

“Of course.” He pulls away, letting me lead him out of the main room into a side room no one is using at the moment.

“What can I do for you, Queen Bee?”

“I was wondering if you could look up the information for my parents and then mail this letter for me.”

I hold out the envelope to him. He gives me a small smile.

“Of course. I can do it right now if you need.”

I shake my head. “It can wait. I haven’t spoken to them in many years.”

He nods as if he understands. Maybe he does.

Then an idea hits me.

“You’re really good at that hacking stuff, right?” I ask.

He snorts, “I do well, yes.”

“Could you erase a person? Make them no longer exist?”

He narrows his eyes. “I can. Why?”

“Could you maybe erase my existence? Make it so no one would be able to find me. Or like change my name or something? I’m not really sure how it works.”

He frowns. “I can do that if you really want me to.”

I smile. “I do. Like do I get new papers or something? A new social or license?”

He nods slowly. “A whole packet of documents to make your identity legitimate. By the time I’m done, it’ll be like you never existed.”

I nibble on my lower lip. “Could I keep my first name?”

He looks confused now. “Yeah.”

“Okay good. Can you do that for me? Whenever you can?”

He nods again. “Sure thing. I’m going to go drop this off in my room.”

He holds up the letter.

“Thank you. Oh and can you mail it out from the post office? Maybe one not around here. I don’t want them to be able to track me.”

He nods once more before leaving.

Heading back to the main room, I smile. It’s as if a weight has been lifted off my chest.

I make my way to the bar, grabbing a stool next to Evelyn and Tara.

“Hey ladies.”
