Chapter 3

My family. My Mommy Sydney, My Daddy Michael. My grandma Irina and Grandpa Jack. My Grandma Claudia and Auntie Nadia. Only one person missing from this my Grandpa William. But is Grandma Claudia right did Grandma Irina take my Grandpa away all those years ago. Did she hurt those other people too? Is she a bad person? My grandma Irina the nicest person in the world.

"Yes." Irina said again "We'll tell you."

Sydney decided to start. To utter the first changing words.

"Laura. Many years ago, your Grandmother used to work for some bad people."

"What bad people?"

"These people are not of any interest. They were just horrible people. You see that one day I made them very upset by having a baby. Your Mommy." Irina told Laura

"Why were they upset that you had Mommy?"

"Because these people don't like the woman that work for them to have children."

"Why?"

"Because of Grandpa Jack. They didn't like who he was. So they punished me."

"Punished you how?"

"By getting me to hurt people. People they told me to."

"Like Grandpa William?"

"Yes like Grandpa William. You see Laura, they threatened to hurt you Mommy and Grandpa Jack."

"So you sent Grandpa William to heaven to protect them?"

"I didn't know his family then. You see I didn't realise all them years ago that you mommy and daddy would start a family together."

"Were you upset about doing it?"

"Yes. Very upset it was not a very nice thing to live with. And it got harder when I meet your Daddy for the first time, and knowing what I had done. Then to find out the feelings they shared."

"Who were the bad people you worked for?"

"Laura, I'll explain that when your older."

"NO! I want to know now."

"Laura. It's to complicated a thing to explain now." Irina said while also thinking about how hard it will be explaining that in the start she was a spy who married her Granddad for an assignment."

"NO! NOW!!" Laura shouted.

"LAURA IRINA BRISTOW! I know that this news is a bit upsetting, but it does not mean that you can shout at you Grandma. Now apologise to her."

"Sorry Grandma Irina." Laura said shyly back.
