"if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere"

---

Life in Roseville was...

"So, the movie theater plays IMAX movies now."

"Yup."

"And the mall got a new store."

"Huh. How about that."

...unremarkable. At least for Cammie Morgan.

"Is is such a crime that I'm the only one in this goddamn place who thinks there is more to life than drinking cheap vodka at the pier or swimming at Tina Walters' new pool?"

"She got a new pool? We should go!"

"Yeah...I'm out of here."

But life gets a little more remarkable when you witness a murder of a powerful crime boss.

And the killer sends his regards in the form of three hit-men.

And you get placed in the Witness Protection Program.

In New York City.

"From this moment on, Cammie Morgan doesn't exist. To everybody outside these doors, you're Charlotte Piper. You attend Partridge Day Academy. You just moved to the city from Seattle with your mother. Understand?"

"Yeah, it's uh...well..."

"What is the problem, Miss Morgan?"

"I just never pictured myself as a Charlotte."

With the guards...

"I don't know who the hell you think you are, but if you think for one second I'm getting out this cab with you—"

"Look, I'm the guy who's gonna get his ass kicked by Solomon if you keep chatting up mobsters and jumping into cabs with strange boys."

"I'm in a taxi with you, aren't I?"

"Touché. But listen, Cammie Morgan or Charlotte Piper or whoever you're supposed to be right now: I'm the exception, babe. Always have been, always will be—where the hell are you going?"

"Jumping out of a cab. I wasn't listening, babe. Never started, never will. See you at headquarters."

the new school...

"Welcome to Gallagher! I'm Liz. Well, actually Elizabeth Lee Sutton, but everybody calls me Liz. You must be Charlotte! Oh, Professor Buckingham told us about you! Wow, you moved here all the way from Seattle? That's really far. 2841.12 miles, if you want to get exact. But, I hope you like the school so far! Gallgher is a really elite school, one out of two students here will get into an Ivy—"

"Good to meet you too, Liz."

---

"Hi, I'm Cam-Charlotte. Charlotte Piper."

"Like the Springs Management Pipers? Or the magazine heir Pipers?"

"No. Just Charlotte Piper."

"Oh."

---

"Look here, Charlie—"

"It's Charlotte, actually—"

"Uninterested. If you know what's good for you, you'll stay away. Far away. This isn't Seattle. This, all of this, is unraveling."

"Are you saying I'm in danger?"

"I'm saying nowhere is safe."

the new life in the Witness Protection Program...

"So, he—the killer— wants me dead."

"Correct."

"And he sent his goons here?"

"Yes."

"To find me? And then kill me?"

"Right."

"So, can somebody please tell me why the hell you all are just sitting around? Somebody out there wants me dead. And if you guys aren't going to do anything, I will."

Life just got remarkable.

Be careful what you wish for, Cammie Morgan.
