A/N: Here is the next chapter which is very short but for me it is pretty much the norm. I hope you enjoy this small fillerish chapter. Also I would like to give a big thanks for my one reviewer on my last chapter and I have to agree I wish more people would write about the Zaccharas. I would also like to thank the people that at least read the chapter and I hope that you continue to read this story and maybe review once in a while I would really appreciate it. Please read a review. Thanks!

Chapter 3

"You really expect me to believe she's our sister," said Johnny once he was sure Sophia was gone.

"John, she is, trust me she is," said Claudia. "I over heard daddy and Trevor talking about her and her mother when I still lived here. She's our sister and trust me that's a good thing."

"Why?" asked Johnny, curious to what Claudia meant by the second half of the sentence.

"I just meant its better that she's on our side then someone else's," said Claudia picking up her glass off the table and taking a sip.

"What exactly is that supposed to mean?" asked Johnny with annoyance in his voice. "I'm tired of your cryptic responses Claudia."

"You don't know much about the Landry's do you?" asked Claudia.

"No, why?" asked Johnny as he walked closer to his sister. "All I know is that they're friends of dad's."

"They run this facility in a town outside Milan," said Claudia. "It was a military compound back in World War I and the things they did, do to the kids there John, its worse then what daddy did to us. A lot worse."

"Oh my god," said Johnny

"God has nothing to do with it," said Claudia as she took another sip out of her glass.

"What did they do to her?" asked Johnny suddenly worried. After all if Sophia is his sister and though he had just met her family's family, there's nothing more important. Plus Claudia knew her and trusted her so that was enough for Johnny. He couldn't imagine somebody hurting a child as badly as his own father did and if Sophia had gone through something worse he didn't want to even think about it. He knew his father was a horrible, evil, sadistic person but this was something else all together and another reason for Johnny to hate his father.

"You're better off talking to her about it," said Claudia. "But be careful. Let her come to you. If you pry too much she'll get suspicious and thinking you're using her. Let Lee tell you about it on her own."

"I'm not using her nor would I," said Johnny.

"I know that John but it takes a lot for her to trust someone especially if they're blood related," said Claudia. "She was four when we met and she didn't completely trust me but eventually she did and she will with you to, if you let her." Johnny looked down at his watch, realizing what time it was.

"I have to go I'm late for a meeting," said Johnny. "I'll be back soon, okay?"

"Okay I'll see you later," said Claudia. She kissed him on the cheek and he started too walked towards the door. Just as Johnny was about to walk out of the room he stopped and turned around.

"Did he know?" asked Johnny causing Claudia to turn around and look and him.

"What?" asked Claudia. "Did who know what?"

"Dad," said Johnny. "Did dad know what she was going to go through when he sent her there?"

"Yes John," said Claudia. "That's why he sent her there. He sent her there to die." She sounded so bitter saying it, hating her father for doing that to such an innocent little girl and with that Johnny walked out the room leaving Claudia in that dark, haunting room.
