Chapter 4
Irina paced the room, the phone call from Sydney bringing anger into her strides. The KGB had used that damned project on Nadia. Bad enough that they had used her to try and gain that information about Rambaldi. But then proceeding to exploit a small child, to train her to be a spy so they can recruit her. This caused extreme heartache to her. Now both of her children had been drawn into this world, not by there own choice but by a puppet master above them, pulling their strings.
"Irina sit down and please calm down."
"I can't calm down, Jack. The KGB used Nadia more than once, with the Rambaldi connection. Then programming her to be a spy. By using that project you tested on Sydney, the one which I gained the intel for. I damned my own child to this. Not know that I was giving the means to do that my own child, to make her spy"
"You weren't the one who gave her the training. So don't blame yourself for that. But with my side, you understand why I did what I did for Sydney. That I did it to protect her, but Sloane he knew what I had done, and took it upon himself to recruit her, knowing that she couldn't stop the pull she would get from this. Using her in his own twisted plans, making it seem like she was doing good. Actually working for the CIA."
"Jack, you don't have to say those things to me. I know why you did it and expect why you did it. It's that bastard Sloane who should feel this guilt, he was the one who brought her into this world. And Sydney has expected it now. But Nadia?"
"What about her?"
"How can I tell her this? So much has happened in her life, most of it bad. I'm supposed to tell her now that she was programmed to be a spy. That she didn't come into this world under her own recoking that she was controlled to know what to do. If what else has occurred in her life hasn't caused her to come of the rails. Then this is more than likely the push which will cause her life topple. Jack she's my daughter. I've only knowing her for six months of her life, we're just adjusting to each other. Learning about each other's life's. She's had to come to terms with her parentage already. Finding out your mother is KGB is not a good thing, but then to find out that your mother's superiors programmed you to be spy. I can't do it to her. I can't make her life any harder."
"But you should know what secrets can do to if there kept. They fester, and unexpectedly come back to the surface by misplaced word. And then hurt a lot more, more than if the information was giving straight away. Look what happened with Sydney. The pain she went through when she found out about SD-6, about you, the project. Torture which could of been prevented if someone had told her the truth."
"You right Jack. But I just don't want to hurt her. I've just found her and I don't want to lose her all over again. Like I did with Sydney."
"Your scared of what might happen if you tell her now. But imagine what would happen if you waited. That would hurt her more than telling her now."
Your right, I have to tell her now. Do you know when she's back?"
"Two days She's out on a operation at the moment"
"So in two day's me and Sydney tell her truth what has happened to her."
