You commented in another reply: she repeatedly said to me "You underestimated me"
Put yourself in her head. You know better than anyone else how she thinks. If we use the attitude of not underestimating her, where would she go? Where are her connections? Where would someone who thinks like her go to get off the grid?
Hmm, that's a really good question...I hadn't thought along these lines before...this is why I'm posting here!
When she says "You underestimated me" she means "You have no idea what I'm capable of....I am willing to be more harmful, illicit, and vindictive than you think." So where we should she go?
1) She doesn't have long term friends or family left. So, I have to conclude that
she'd go to people she's only just met. She has a very long history of making extremely close friends with people she's only just met. She's extremely adept at getting people to trust her (and buy whatever story she's selling) in a short amount of time.
2) She has been spending a lot of time
in New Orleans recently. She can't go east from Pensacola - she's burned all her bridges in Navarre, FWB, Destin. In NOLA, she's apparently started to develop the same kind of intense, new friendships I've seen so many times from her. She's also spent time
in Biloxi, playing poker. Plus her most recent IP address appears to plot in Reserve, LA...I-10 west of NOLA.
3) She gets along best with
working class people who have a love-hate relationship with law enforcement. She is likely to
forge bonds with other people who are on the wrong side of the law, and who can tell each other stories about why they are the protagonist of their story. Her 'brand' identify with
the 'prepper' crowd, but are just as likely to have been a police officer as they are to have an arrest on their record. Most LEOs are quiet professionals who grind it out for years, pacing themselves in civil service work. They don't tend to get along with her well over the long term. Her type are more flashy and in my experience tend to burn bright, but burn out and get out for some reason or another.
4) She is
unlikely to leave the country. She has zero inclination towards foreign cultures or languages - very much the Joe Bing character from
The Ugly American.
5) She is highly
unlikely to live outside of an urban area. She's a suburban girl who needs her creature comforts. She swims in social terrain.
6) She is tech savvy enough to know that using her old phone or laptop will get her caught, as will logging onto her old accounts that can be IP traced.
She'll have multiple burner phones, but won't open her old stuff unless she's OK with being found.
Damn good question!
. I would love to be wrong of course!
