AN on AN (heh):
Usually, I like to keep all of my author notes in one chapter at the end of the fic, so they don't gum up the actual writing in the chapter. But keeping them at the end of the fic seems to be a problem on ff.net, because when I post new chapters, everyone is seeing the author notes instead of the new chapter. So, I've moved author notes to the beginning here. Sorry if there's any confusion!General note:
The Witness Protection Program, according to Lara's half-assed research, does not officially exist and may actually be a creation of Hollywood. So any actual Witness Protection details are probably from Lara's head and should not be taken as real or researched.Chapter 1 — Contingencies
