The lady smiled at her when she came in. She saw a better shower curtain so she bought it plus another set of towels and a set of bath rugs. She noticed a couple of packages of bathroom and kitchen decals and bought them also. When she was finished shopping she had the little carry basket full. This time the lady told her that she had plenty of them and she could keep that one..Marla thanked her and left. After getting her items back to the apartment she remembered seeing an entertainment center down in the basement. She retrieved the entertainment center and took it upstairs. In no time she had the newly bought little television and stereo system plugged in and they both worked wonderfully.
She was watching the little television when she realized that she shouldn't have used her name when she rented the apartment and talked to the cafe owner. If she used her social security number to get the job they would find her in no time. She remembered a couple of years before hearing about some illegal people stealing ids from people to get jobs and steal their identities for bad things. She thought about it some and came to the conclusion that she needed to find a deceased person close to the age she had told the landlord and could take over her identity. The next day she would visit the library and try to find one..The next day she visited the library and found a little girl who had been born then died just a few weeks later. When she read the name Karla she knew that was the one. Her parents lived in another county of the state. The baby was killed in an auto accident when she was four months old. She knew that there would be a birth certificate on hand in the state.
