September 11,2014 The Adventures Of Ms. Luminite As I sat in the chairs of the Chicago funeral home, all I could think of was my last moment with my mom as she said “C’ Ne , one day you will fulfill your destiny.” Tears running down my face , I faced the fact that I was 8 years old and would never see my mother again. Today makes it 10 years since my Mom passed. She passed on our birthday, which now makes me 18. I swing my legs over my bed and walk to the picture of my mom on the wall “Happy Birthday mom , I miss you, I love you” I say. I go to the bathroom and get ready for the day. When I come out, my nose sends me

I found pictures and names and addresses. I guess these people were awaiting my arrival. I went upstairs and grabbed my drawstring Adidas bag and started putting in some clothes. I went to the bathroom and took a shower. I put on a black t-shirt and black pants and my black boots. I went downstairs and got out the keys to my moms old car. I have only used it once when my dad was gone and I had to go to the store to get milk. Dad I thought. I felt a tear come down my cheek, I quickly wiped it away covering my mouth to stifle a cry. I walked out the front door, I stood in the doorway for a second. I looked around at all the things that I would miss. I breathed in a big gulp of my life, and breathed out letting it all go. I closed the door behind me and locked it. As I walked to the garage I could feel the weight of the box in my bag. I hauled up the garage door, I walked over to the car and gingerly pulled off the dust cover. There she was, my moms Ford Explorer. I always thought that I was the type of girl who would like small cars. Nope, I was just like my mom. I got in the car pulling my bag off my back and setting it in the passenger seat. I started the car and pulled out of the garage. I got out the car to close and lock the garage and then I was off to my first destination. As I was driving I pulled out the box and looked at some of the address that my mom had left me. I looked at the first name in the book.

the next person on your list will give you the mission that your mother died trying to finish, You will fulfill your destiny and make her proud” I left that night and set out to Virginia. I kept replaying the last moment with Jessica where she said “ You will make her proud.” I would have a small flash back and see my mother crouching down and looking me in the eyes and saying the same thing “C’ Ne , one day you will fulfill your destiny.” I would cry until I couldn't see the road any more. Then I would stop. I knew that I had to do this, I had to make her proud. I arrived at the next address. There was a man sitting out on the porch. He stood when I got out of the car. I walked up to him and he handed me a piece of paper and an envelope. I turned and left. I got in the car and drove off. I parked in the parking lot of McDonalds. I went inside and ordered a large caramel frappe and a large fry. I went out to the car and sat in the trunk and started looking through the package. I saw a company name and knew that it had looked familiar. I took a guess thats what I had to do. The were selling items that would make the biggest bomb in the world. I started driving. I couldn't let this mission fail. I had to succeed. I had to make my mother proud. I got to the city and went to a store. I bought some clothes. Then I checked into a hotel room and started sifting through the packet. I saw the place that I
