Chapter 28
"I said I'd like you to say Miss Bristow"
"Olivia Reed I presume?"
"A correct assumption Sydney. I think it's time we have a talk" Olivia said repositioning her stance, due to Sydney's movements toward her.
"Let me guess about Lauren?"
"Yes Lauren, My daughter. But there is a couple other things which need to be mentioned, one of them affecting my partner wholly."
"May I ask, who your partner is?" Sydney said while tapping her bracelet to activate the emergency beacon implanted in it."
"Later. At the moment, I just want to discuss my daughter's murder at your hand."
"You must understand that in the strictest sense it can't be considered murder." Sydney said trying to cover for what really happened. "It was in the line of duty. I was an agent of the C.I.A then and Lauren was an enemy of the state. I was doing my job."
"Just cut it out. I know it's not the truth. I know what happened that night. Did you think that the Covenant would have only one mole in the agency. See your indiscretion went through it and was passed on to me. I know what you did to my daughter and why you did it as well. For your on and off again lover who just so happened to be her husband. And that line about her being an enemy of the state What was that about? Your own mother was one. And you didn't go out and shoot her did you."
"How can I shoot my own mother?"
"But you could shoot my daughter. Isn't one enemy of the state, the same as another?"
"That is completely different to this situation. She brought me into the world. And yes she has done some questionable things but some questionable things have been done to her. "
"You see this is one of the reasons me and my partner have to dislike you and your mother. Life is so easy for no matter what any of you do."
"But why is my daughter is involved in this? If it's me and my mother you can't stand."
"Because the sin of the parents fall on to their children. A family member can be damned for another person's actions. So no matter if they are calling themselves a Bristow, a Derevko, a Santos or even technically a Vaughn. You may of upset me, but really this is a diversion tactic, sp we can go after the one person which would kill you from the inside. Your daughter."
"My daughter is safe, she is with her family. Her father, my mother, my sister and other grandparent."
"Oh really. You should know a family member can be the most dangerous person of them all. I think it's time you found out who my partner is. But lets see if you can guess from some clues. Which relation hates your mother so much that she tried to stop her wedding."
"It's Claudia Vaughn isn't it?"
