Chapter 2
"Mom, What are you doing here?" Sydney managed to get out "Where's my sister?"
"Sydney. I think we need to talk"
"Yeah. I think we need to". She replied.
Sydney walked through the door into the hall and looked around at the furnishings. It was obvious to even the casual observer if they knew both of them that that they has the same tastes.
"Sydney. Sit down this could take awhile" Irina said as she walked over to one of the sofas in the living room and sat down. Sydney walked across the room and sat opposite from her mother"
"Why Mom?, Why did you never tell me I had a sister?
"Darling, How could I have told you that news? That I had been hiding a sister from you for over twenty years with out hurting you and your father." Irina looked down at the floor for a moment and then brought her head up to look into her daughter's eyes. "You do know who her Father is?"
"Yes. I've had a nice discussion with Sloane about that. The fact that you had an affair with him when you and Dad were together. MOM! How could you?!" Sydney spat at her mother.
"Do you know how long Sloane has known Sydney?"
"Well as he tells it he found out when he was in Nepal. From a Rambaldi parchment. Mom, You still haven't answered my question. Why?"
"Sydney you must understand that I didn't want to but my KGB handler wanted information, information only Sloane knew...."
"So you slept with him to get the information." She yelled back at her mother
"No, No it wasn't like that. I loved your father Sydney with all my heart. I wouldn't jump into bed with any man at a whim. I was forced into it."
"What do you mean forced? I know you Mom or I think I do, nobody can force you into anything. It's just lies, lies which have been part of my life from the moment I was born."
"They not lies. It is the truth. I was forced into it by Khasinau. Do want to how he forced me into doing it. He threatened to hurt you".
"No, your lying still you never properly cared for me. Or you wouldn't had left me at six years old!" "Sweetheart. From the moment you were born to now. I have always loved you and I will always will. So to keep you safe I have to do some things that I am not proud off. Leaving you when you where young, Sloane, Shooting you in Taipei. Absconding from the CIA. But I still don't want anyone to hurt you"
"Ok, Whatever. Can we just talk about my sister now? When did you find out you were pregnant?"
"Mom, What are you doing here?" Sydney managed to get out "Where's my sister?"
"Sydney. I think we need to talk"
"Yeah. I think we need to". She replied.
