Ice

 It was late afternoon as I sauntered into my office with the duffle bag full of money and plopped it on the table. I had just reached my hidden residence, a mansion at the end of the city, after my joyride with Lucaso. I pulled out the file that contained all of the requests of those who need help and money and set it upon my red oak study table.

 I scanned the newspaper that was placed on my desk and snorted. It seems as if I have made the headlines for the third time this month. I have even made it to the Top 5 dangerous criminals! There's even a bonus! They are finally giving a reward for catching me, how cool! I always wanted to make it onto the wanted list, let alone Top 5 with a bonus! The only thing is they don't have a picture and they call me IceFlame. Which is a big fail. Also, I know that everyone who knows me well would not want to turn me in. If they do they would have to firstly, face the wrath of my revenge and secondly, become extremely poor without the supplies that I supply. So lets see, it seems they are only offering $100,000 dollars for my capture. They should offer more if they want me to go down.

 "Ice! Its the royal trackers, I think they have picked up a trail." Pendrake reported as he barged into my office.

 "Report from?" I shot back.

 "Rolex sent his messenger. He informed that they would be at the start of the Evergreen Trail by sundown." Pendrake immediately countered without wincing at my tone.

 I smirked.

 "You are learning Pendrake. You are getting faster, and you have stopped wincing like a little baby. Good job. Send the Racer Hounds."

 "Roger that. Thank you Ice. I'm on it." Pendrake grinned. He turned to leave.

 "Oh, Pendrake?" I stopped him.

 "Yes?" He replied."You are leading the next excursion." I affirmed. His grin grew wider. "But, don't let it get to your head. Your twin sister Wasp, is also just as good as you." His grin immediately disappeared.

 "Noted."

 He turned and disappeared through my office door without a sound. Hah! Let the games begin, for if they catch me, they will never get me to bow down to them, and I, will keep my vow to get my my parents back.
