Chapter 3 – Spying on the Spies

I knew the name Irina Derevko from quite early on in my time in SD-6. Just the name. Had seen no pictures. Knew nothing of her crimes. Just overheard it from some agent discussing her. Someone who was investigating long term deep cover operatives. Someone who was investigating my family.

Sydney was walking to the coffee room. Desperate for a caffeine fix. This summer had been killer. She was on vacation from college and Sloane was making the most of it. She was just about to head around the corner when she overheard two of her colleagues talking.

"So what's Sloane got you working on?" One of them said

Sloane was an enigma to Sydney. His moods always interchanging. Sometimes so professional and sometimes so caring. Almost in a fatherly way. So instead of carrying on, she stuck around hoping to find something about him.

"He's got me looking into long term undercover operatives. This one woman in particular. Irina Derevko an old KGB agent."

"What's so special about her?"

"She's absolutely amazing. She was an swallow agent during the 1970's. She successful kept her cover for over ten years. That's unheard off."

"Why's Sloane interested in her?" Is she becoming a threat again?"

"No, she's been dead for over ten years. But that's not the strangest part of it. You know the new agent well……" The guy said before coming around the corner.

Sydney was startled as the came around and quickly decided to bend down and pretend to tie her shoe. She looked up and gave them a big smile.

She stood up and took a quick look over her shoulder. To see them both with a look of shock on their faces. Staring intensely at her.

For yeas I didn't know why they were staring at me. But now I know, people in Sd-6 knew about me. My secret family history. Nobody told me anything or even hinted it. What did Sloane do to keep them. Did he threaten them with the conversation room or threaten their familes.

All I know is two seconds longer and I would of found out the truth earlier than I did. Instead of just the name Irina Derevko to be filed into my brain just to be recalled later to hurt.

R:N: So what do you think? Read and Review and then tell me.
