Chapter 3

Trust my Mother to send me to do the dirty work. To find something out. Especially when it involves the family. To find out what had happened to Nadia before she was taken from Russia. Not being able to even tell the CIA because of the nature of this secret.

Sydney was pacing in a small room in Camp Harris waiting for Katya Derevko to arrive. Using her to find information about her sister, of what may of happened to her.

Katya was escorted into the room by a guard who positioned himself by the door. Sydney managed to catch his attention and said

"Excuse Me. Can I have some time with the prisoner alone?"

The guard nodded and left the room and this is when Katya took her first full look at Sydney.

"Oh my god Sydney. You're pregnant"

"Yes I am" Sydney said without feeling not wanting this woman to be involved in any way with her or her child.

"So, aren't you going to tell me anything else. How far along you are, whose the father"

"Frankly No. You have no right's to know about my family's present and future. You and Yelena gave that up when you betrayed us all"

"So why are you here then? What more is there to discuss. I'm already damned in your eyes."

"It's about the past. Nadia's past"

"If it's Nadia's past why don't you ask her about it?"

"Because she doesn't remember much from that time. But you, you were there. You should know"

"Know what?"

"What the KGB may have done to her Project Christmas or whatever you may have called it."

"What about it?"

"Did you, did you use it on her?"

"Yes Sydney. The KGB used it on her. You see they had the perfect opportunity to try it out. You see once they used her to gain information they were left with a little girl. But a girl like you with a high IQ. So while she was there they used the project on it with the idea that when she was old enough they would recruit her. But it didn't work that way."

Sydney burst into tears, memories from the moment she had found out. One of a concession of moments that had changed her life. But know Nadia's life was gonna change if they had told her. Sydney chocked back her tears

"Why, why did you do it, she was only a little girl"

"For the same reason, your father may of had. A child with potential already in her. With the right training could become a superior spy. Your mother was the link which caused your problem. Irina's children would stand the greatest chance at having the skills she had. Who would turn that opportunity down. Your father didn't"

"Stop twisting it, to make me lose faith in my family. Dad had explained why he did, that he was trying to stop me being a victim. And to stop me being a victim. And yes one day after SD-6 recruited me that he would of liked me to join the CIA. But it didn't happen. Any know this no matter what you say, I don't doubt my family anymore. I'm happy with the quirky life I live. And with mine and Mom's support Nadia will come through this."

"Sydney turned around and started to walk away but changed her mind and turned around and said.

"Goodbye Aunt Katya. Have a nice life. Oh and say hello to Aunt Yelena for me."
