Chapter 13
I can't believe Sydney. Considering all that her mother has done to her. She stills gets involved with her. Why? Sydney has told me plenty of times about her thoughts on Irina Derevko. Maybe when she's around she can't differentiate her from that woman and the person she thinks is her mother?
Anyway about time to visit the other Derevko that screwed me other. Why did I get eve involved with her.
Jack walked down to the guard and flashed his identification. "I want to see the prisoner" he gruffly said.
The bar defences in front of him started to move, giving him access to the hallway the cell was located. He walked down and stood in front of the cell prouncing himself just with "Hello"
Katya turned around and looked at him "Jack, surprised you bothered to see me"
"Well we have a few things to talk about"
"Let me guess Sydney and Irina"
"I may have qualms about what you did to your sister. I'm mainly here to discuss my daughter.
"Is Irina a sore point with you considering what happened between us?"
"That is not for discussion. You used me when I was at my lowest"
"Jack, you were up for that as much as I was. Both of us were trying to use it as revenge against Irina. You for the affair she had with Sloane and me just to destroy her some more"
"What do you mean destroy her? How can being involved with me hurt her? We maybe still be married legally but she still doesn't care for me like that she's shown me that so many times"
"Are you blind? She loves you Jack, she has love you for the last 30 years. You may think that the moment she left you and Sydney she forgot about you. You just didn't see her. Every year no matter what she toasted your wedding anniversary and Sydney's birthday.
"No way. She can't be like that. Not that sentimental."
"She is. She wore her wedding ring up until the moment she handed herself into CIA custody"
But I though she didn't care, that from the moment she first retuned she was goading me. Making me pay."
"No you fool. She was playing the character you expected to see."
"But I only acted that way because she was to me. I pushed my feelings down, ignored them, and pretended they weren't there." Then the realization suddenly dawned on him. "I still love her."
"Finally. Now maybe you can sort out that relationship between you. Because it seems to me that your daughter is the only one to get over anything."
The mention of Sydney caused temper to blow.
"You may have helped me with one thing. But do not mention Sydney. You helped to destroy her life. Some Aunt you are. Irina may have her problems but she wouldn't deliberately hurt a member of her family." Jack turned and started to walk away only to remember another one of the reasons he had come to see her about. So he sharply turned around to face her.
"Oh by the way. You're being transported to Camp Harris in half an hour"
