Chambers

My father was the target of a professional assassin and has been on the run for the past five years. I'm an accessory to these crimes and would be arrested and charged with obstruction of justice if caught. I am fucking scared

My dad was a high up executive in one of the largest tech companies in the country. He was a very professional and respectful man and nobody ever thought that he had done anything wrong until a man broke into our house with a gun. My mother and I weren't there at the time, but my brother was. He watched as the man shot my father and then followed him to a hospital. This was my introduction to the life of conspiracy and deception that my father has been pulling me into for the past five years. It started with him moving to a remote cabin in the woods on the other side of the country. We weren't allowed to use any of our electronics because the assassin worked for a professional agency and was given unlimited resources to track him down. Seriously, that's what he told us. We got a new car, new driver's licenses, new names, everything. My brother and I transferred to a new school, and were given strict instructions on how to act when we were there. <br><br>My father told us that he had been embezzling money from the company and several agencies were hired to track him down. The story my brother saw play out firsthand was not an uncommon occurrence. We have lived in three different houses, each time moving because my father was convinced that he had been found again. The agency has gotten to some people we knew. My uncle, co-workers, old friends. My dad was convinced that the only way to keep us safe was to cut all ties with them. <br><br>I am so scared because my dad is not a good liar. Both my brother and I have caught him in huge, obvious lies since this has all started. We have both confronted him about it, but he always says that we just don't understand. How could we? My brother and I were thrust into a world of espionage and deception. We don't know what half of the terms my dad uses even means. But one thing we do understand is that something big is happening, and it's not over yet. My dad has been acting strange lately, like something big is about to happen. I don't know what it is, but I'm fucking terrified to find out.
