Running

"Sometimes people run... to see if you'll come after them."-Ally Carter

She was long gone before anyone even noticed. Her codename was the peacock. Her cover was a debutante-the daughter of the man running for President. But in reality, she was a chameleon, too. She hated being seen and looked at. With the wig and glasses she had looked ordinary and normal, though everyone knew she was hardly that. Maybe she chose to run partly because no one ever told her she was special, smart. But it didn't matter, because only three people in her life knew not to judge a girl by her cover. The days without her seemed infinitely longer. But finally it dawned on the three friends. She wasn't in Switzerland. She wasn't amateur enough to use a passport. She had two disguises, and she had used at least one. They knew exactly where she was. The only thing left to do was sneak out and bring their sister home. When they found her, all she uttered was, "You're late."
