Belladonna had had enough of watching Trinity moping about the house. She wasn’t a criminal anymore, and she was struggling to find work in Appaloosa so why not just move?

Trinity saw the sense of it. Neither of them were happy here, so why not just cut their losses and leave? Belladonna got right onto finding somewhere new to live.

Selling their house on Deasil Street was trickier. Not many people were looking for such a large house with only two bedrooms. Out of desperation, Belladonna called Edward in. He could afford to buy, and would kill two birds with one stone. He could afford to redecorate and make a profit on the house AND get Trinity far way from him and his organisation.

He agreed. He didn’t regret breaking up with her, but did feel guilty about how it had happened. He would do her this favour and help her be happy elsewhere.

Despite it being her idea, when the day of the move came Belladonna had a heavy heart. She knew her twin and her cat Jerix would miss this little town.

All that remained was for Trinity to say goodbye to Megan. She felt so guilty about her.

She had tried to keep Megan on the straight and narrow when she was a child and just starting to act out, and blamed herself for not stopping Allain from babysitting her soon enough.

Now Megan was embroiled in the shady world she was trying to escape.

She laid it all out on the line for Megan, why she was quitting crime, what she had learnt from a lifetime of wrongdoing… why Megan should get out now. With her brains she could be a fantastic legal businesswoman. But Megan explained she liked the risk, she enjoyed playing with fire. She loved the thrill… especially with the wannabe cop Malika over the road.

Trinity tried to talk Megan around. She spoke of the dangers of prison, of the damage she could do her family, the future she was denying herself with a normal family and peace of mind and a clear conscience when she went to bed.

Megan stopped joking around and gave Trinity a full answer. She had seen her parents struggling for years by playing it safe and following the law. Edward and Allain had showed her another way, and she would pursue it. She did promise to call Trinity if she ever wanted out, or needed someone to talk to though.

Trinity was happy Megan had heard what she needed to, and wished her luck.

Megan wondered if she would ever see Trinity again. She had looked up to her for so long… she would miss her.

While Trinity said goodbye to Megan Belladonna let Edward and Allain into the house. All the furniture was included in the sale so they could make a fresh start in their new home, but it still a wrench to see Edward calmly assessing each items worth for sale.

That night Edward slept well. He might have lost Trinity, but he had gained a nicer house at a fraction of it’s true worth and with plenty of room to enact his latest plan…
