Moments 9 – Christmas
Project Christmas.
The whole project seemed absurd when I found out about it.
A project used to train children to be agents for their government.
Even after seeing it with my own two eyes it was still laughable.
That was until I found out the project had been used on me.
So I talked to the only other person apart from my father who knows something about this crazy project.
Sydney walked down the corridor to the glass cage which held her mother
The bars clanking and retracting as she made her way down to there.
She turned and faced the cell, to see her mother sitting on her bed reading the one book that they would let her have. The bible.
Irina looked up when she sensed Sydney's presence and a small smile appeared on her face.
"Sydney, thank you for getting me that reprieve on my execution. It means a lot that you've finally started to trust me."
"It wasn't really me. It was Agent Vaughn who worked out what was going on. That Dad set you up in Madagascar. This is not what I've come to discuss. All I want to know about it project Christmas.
"Yes. What do you want to know about it?"
"I don't want to know about it in specific terms. All I want to know is if you know if Dad had used it on me."
"Sydney, I had my suspicions that he might of. That's why I asked you those questions to try and figure out if it was true. But after talking about that thanksgiving with you and finding out that you couldn't remember it.. I knew what part you had before I went. But if you couldn't remember then I know he had used it on. And it was confirmed. He had."
"All he says about it, is that he did it for a reason. To make sure I was not a victim. But all I can see is that he did it to make me a spy."
"Sweetheart, do not doubt you father. If he says it was to protect you, it was to protect you, it was to protect you. He gave you the skills for you to look after yourself. Unfortunately, yes these skills can be translated to the spy world. But ultimately Sydney you decided to become a spy, not because of the training but because you wanted to. That's what free will is about."
This is one of the few times I believe my mother was right.
That I couldn't blame Dad for me being a spy.
I said yes not him.
I'll still never agree with what he did. Using that project. But I've learnt to live with it. It's part of me.
But who knows, I could of being a spy without the training.
Because don't children develop traits from their parents?
