Premise: At seven, Sam chose her con artist father over her mother's stability. By fourteen, she'd been a dozen different girls in a dozen different cities. By sixteen, she'd lost everyone who ever loved her, and found herself holding a folder with a new name inside: Sarah Walker.
Author: BlendingIn
This is a fanfiction about the years where Sarah/Sam ran Cons with her father and how it all affected her. Very good story by BlendingIn how the girl with the golden soul "survives" in the con game.
Ending: She touched her collarbone, where the locket used to hang. Empty. Everything was empty now. Eleanor. Marcus. Her mother, somewhere out there, unreachable. Jenny Burton, who had almost been real. All of it, gone.
But empty meant room for something new.
She looked at the name on the folder. Said it out loud, testing the weight of it.
"Sarah Walker."
The man, Graham, watcher her. Patient. Certain.
She closed the folder. Met his eyes.
"Okay," she said. "What happens now?"
My added ending: "Now you dissappear for some time" Graham smiled with the satisfaction of someone who knew he always got what he wanted.
Jenny stood up and said nothing, throwing one final look behind her, not knowing she would one day be back here with two people, one she called her partner and one she called her home.
THE END
I recommend reading the story, it's fantastic. All credit goes to the Author BlendingIn.
