Chapter 15
Laura, the stress mounting up visibly on her little shoulders which are starting to already buckle. Her Mom's problems, her Grandmother's problems, her great aunt's problems, my problems and even Katya's and Yelena's problems. Too much for a normal person to handle let along a child No wonder Syd's getting phone calls now.
I felt myself like acting out when I found out the truth. So what hope does a child have, I'm adult and it was hard enough. But trust Sydney's focus to be split when she is needed the most, especially when her father doesn't really bother with her at all. But thank god there is always other family members to help support her.
Nadia walked into the front door and straight towards to the reception .
"Hi, I'm here to pick my niece Laura Bristow from Miss Dillon's class, I was just wondering if you could direct me to it."
"I just need to check a few details with you, are you on the list of authorised people to pick up this child. And if so what is your name?"
"Yes, I am and the name is Nadia Santos"
The receptionist looked down the list and spotted the name."
"Yeah, your on there, if I can just see some I.D to certify this."
Nadia took out her purse and pulled out her driving license and showed it to her.
"Thank you very much Miss Santos. You do understand why I had to do this."
"Yeah it fine with me I know why you had to do it."
"Well the class you're looking for is down the hallway first left, the second right and then the first door on the left."
"Thanks very much" Nadia said before walking in the direction she was told.
After locating the classroom, Nadia knocked on the door, in politeness and steeped in.
"Hello, Miss Dillon. I'm Nadia Santos. I'm here to pick up Laura Bristow on Sydney Bristow's behalf."
"Aunt Nadia" Laura said launching across the classroom and towards Nadia."
"Hi Sweetie. Can you do me a favour, can you go and get your things while I talk to your teacher."
"Okay" Laura said heading out of the classroom to the cloakroom
"My sister said there was a problem involving Laura. She asked me to get you to give me the idea of what is happening."
"That's fine but can you still get Miss Bristow to pop in at somepoint if you could."
"I Will so what is going on?"
"She's been bullying other children, that's bad enough but it is the threats she using, to keep the quiet. They seem bizarre. She's been saying that her Great Aunt' who just got out of prison are going to hurt them if they talk."
Terrific Nadia thought
"Ahh, well there is a good reason"
"I don't need to it. Laura's wellbeing is what matters. We don't need full stories from people.
"Thank for you letting me know. But what can we do, Is there anything you recommend?"
"I know it' s not my place. But maybe counselling."
"We take it in to consideration. I'm sorry about this." Nadia said leaving the class and heading of to find Laura.
Miss Dillon walked across the classroom towards the classroom to the PC and started typing an e-mai.
