June 13, 2008 Bella stood after being dismissed. She hadn't been required to contribute to the debriefing so she had had enough time to finish what she had been doing. As she approached the others on her way out of the room she stopped and looked at them. The she carefully slipped the sketches out of her notebook and gave each of them a copy. When she turned towards Paige she slipped two out and handed them over. Each had received one, Saf, Jordan and Paige, each had a picture of Sebastian, each a little different, but always was he smiling, happy and there was life in his eyes. After she had handed them over she left quickly. The pictures were her condolences; she had nothing else to add to the situation. She had driven her car in to the safe house way back before Backlash. For what she was about to do her bike would have been better but oh well the car was almost as good. She had sold her little green car and bought an Audi S4. High performance small car, in bright sporty red. And she loved it. Getting into it she didn't bother with her belt, put her hands on the wheel and closed her eyes for a second. This was going to be fun. She waited the traffic to go by and pulled out into it, fast sharp movements, not hesitation. She drove like...well most would say a maniac, and usually did if they were ever in the car with her. In and out of the traffic, fast, precise, toe curling. She smiled loving it, she was in control, she determined what happened here, if she fucked up she and others were dead, it was in her power not someone else's. This was how it was meant to happen, she was meant to be in control, hold the power. She drove around the traffic, no particular destination for about an hour. A few times she pulled of death defying overtakes, she turned sharply and drive hard. Most other people on the road didn't like her to be there, they seemed to think she was trying to kill them, but then so many people thought the world was out to get them. After a time she felt everything inside her that had been in turmoil since her meeting of Rhuzyo on Backlash, calm down, settle down and cuddle into its rightful position. Like a tea that had been stirred and was now settling. It was almost a physical sensation as everything went back to the way it should be. She silently vowed to herself never to just let someone do that to her again, but for now she had done what she needed to, she felt her mind and psyche much more at ease now, she had taken back the control she wanted. She turned her vehicle towards home. She slowed down only slightly and she still continued to drive like a stunt driver, it was her normal style. She pulled into the garage at home, got out, locked her car with the button on her keys and went inside. She was a confident person by nature and if felt good to be back in her own skin and right mind. All was well again. She unlocked her apartment and went in throwing her purse on the table by the front door and heading for the shower. That whole last mission washed away she felt so much better. Her system flushed.
