David Webb had managed to avoid his fellow agents and get back to the road. He knew there was a small town about five miles away and was prepared for the long near naked hike he was about to make when a Federal Police Jeep pulled up. David had a plan ready if he was picked up, he was going to feign being in shock in combination with amnesia. "Senorita, Senorita are you ok?" they asked, David maintained a wide eyed look on his face as one of the officers put a jacket over his shoulders and hustled him in to the back of their vehicle. Once he was back in Mexico City he was checked out for physical trauma, acting zoned out while they examined him for rape tested his resolve, and questioned about what had happened to him. He stuck to the classic symptoms of his chosen afflictions, and was greatly relieved when he was given a sedative, which he faked taking, and allowed to sleep. In the morning he had tearful reunion with his new parents, a wealthy good looking couple in their fifties. The mother spoke first, "Honey we are going to help you and love you whether you remember us or not we will always be here for you." David cracked a warm smile, "can you start with my name?" The parents laughed through their tears and this time it was the fathers turn to speak, "Your name is Jessica, Jessica Bourne." David found himself moved by their emotion, "I don't know if I will remember anything from my past but I know that I am so lucky to have you here to help me with my future." Once back in the U.S. David found out from Diane and Curtis, his new parents, that Jessica was a pre med student who was in Mexico for spring break. David thought it was a bit of karma that he would be going in to medicine given all of the lives he had taken in his career. Given her amnesia "Jessica" would have to retest and see what she did and didn't remember. David's past provided him with an extensive knowledge of human anatomy. In the end he would have to retake only six classes, which was written off as his short term memory having survived better than his long term. He was quickly enjoying being a sexy popular girl and loved all the pampering that came along with it. Living a life of a college student was so different than the life of a government operative. So far he had dated two girls at his school but he found himself checking out boys more and more often. Tonight was going to be his first date with a man and he was nervously looking forward to it. To calm himself he decided to buy a new dress for the occasion when he caught a glimpse of a black van out of the corner of his eye. He dashed in to the store and scanned the street through the window. He would probably live the rest of his life with an eye over his shoulder but it was a small price to pay for the second chance he had taken.
Great story, well thought out
