Hi y'all.
I just had a fantastic idea for the newest project I've started, and I need a bit of help. My MC's father was a junkie/drug dealer/general criminal type. Not like a serial-killer, but a violent, non-law-abiding individual.
My idea is that through the course of the book, which mostly occurs after he's dead, I want my MC to have to use skills that her father inadvertently taught her during her childhood.
Now, the MC is trying to save a girl she meets in Mexico, who was kidnapped from California, and was about to be sold into sex-slavery when MC essentially grabbed her away from her captors. Now my MC must travel across Mexico with this girl, and back into the states, where the MC is wanted for the murder of her father. (Sorry, I know it sounds kind of complicated)
My question is: what types of skills would she logically have picked up from having such a father? She spent much of her teen years trying to get him to stay in rehab and such, so she was around him a lot without really being the same "type" of person. Which of these skills would help her in her quest to avoid Mexican drug/human traffickers and American police, and get this girl home safely?
The project is essentially in an outline phase right now, so these suggestions will help build the girls' journey from southern mexico to California, and the things they face along the way.
Thanks in advance!!!
