Read an excerpt
Once upon a time, not so long ago, I never thought I would be one of those people.
Actually. To be honest, I never even thought people like that existed in real life. How many times does a person meet a person in the Witness Protection Program? Granted, I would never know whether they were in the Program or not, but still, I had always thought it was just a movie-kind-of-thing.
Special Agent Smith looked at me sharply with a smirk on his face as I stumbled over my own two feet. We were just leaving Sydney Airport’s international terminal to get on a Transit bus so we could get on another plane, which would take us further inland to Narrandera, literally to the back of beyond. Longingly, I looked through the glass fronted McDonalds and my stomach complained as we rushed past it to get to our next connecting flight as quickly as possible. A flight which would take us that little bit closer to our new home.
Special Agent Smith was barrel-chested and well dressed, with flushed cheeks, and he had a no-nonsense attitude, making sure we blended into our surroundings, even though he had us running off our feet. “So, remember, it’s David Williams, Carmen and Zoey from now on. Never forget,” he reminded us. “If you remember the basics, no-one will get hurt.”
Hurrying to keep up with them, I was still trying to figure out how quickly my life had changed. I had not even had a moment to blink. I tried to remember what clothes I packed, while pushing the strap of my enormous duffel bag back up my shoulder again. We used to live the good life, and never did I bother to wonder where my dad got all his money from. Turns out he is, or was, the accountant to a major mob boss in London, and when the police narrowed their web, my father decided to do the right thing and testify against his boss, which meant we had to go into hiding otherwise the bad guys would surely kill my dad in very mean and imaginative ways, and probably my mum and me as well.
I was still trying to get used to the idea.
I was still trying to get used to the name Zoey.
Zoey. It was a quick decision, a spur-of-the-moment choice, but I had always liked the name Zoey for no specific reason. I could not say if it were from a film I watched or even a book I read. The first name which popped into my head when I was asked who I would like to be from here on out, was Zoey. Not bad for a new name, I thought. Much better than the name I used to have.
I caught a reflection of myself in a shop window and almost did not recognise me. I was still trying to get used to my new black hair. The quickest and easiest way to turn me unrecognisable was to colour my once blonde hair black. After Special Agent Smith arrived at our home a little under forty-eight hours ago, my mum took me to the bathroom and wordlessly started to colour my hair.
On the flight from Sydney to Narrandera, Special Agent Smith gave us each a wad of documents to study. We had to learn our new backstory off-by-heart. The two-hour, fifty-nine-minute flight passed quickly enough and then we bundled into a car with all our worldly possessions and drove the one-and-a-half hour from Narrandera to our new home somewhere in an area called Riverina.
