Chapter 10
Sydney walked away from Irina's cell her head spinning. Ten minutes earlier things had seemed slightly a bit clearly But now she didn't know what to believe. Her mother or the picture and phone call.
She couldn't even discuss it with Dixon, because of the consequences. She was carrying an anti eavesdrop device to stop the C.I.A finding out the truth, that they had gained access to the evidence.
Sydney strode in to the rotunda, her eyes scanning for he daughter, finally locating her in the far right hand side of the room.
Sydney walked over to were she was and bent down and whispered into her ear.
"Sweetheart go and speak to your Aunt for me. Tell her to me and you at our house. Tell her to bring your cousins as well. I know she hasn't told them yet but this decision will have to be a family one.
Laura turned around to face Sydney and spoke quietly.
"What about you? What are you going to do?"
"Talk to an old friend of mine. And go to my father."
"When do you want her at the house?"
"5pm. Tonight we make a decision for good or bad."
Sydney departed and a few minutes later Laura strode across the room and over to Nadia's office.
"I know this sound cryptic but Mom asked me to pass this on. She wants you, Alecia and Sophia at the house tonight at 5."
"She knows I have told the girls about this yet."
"As far as I can tell it's imperative that they are their as well. Mom mentioned that their was a decision to be made and it was up to the family to decide it."
Nadia pulled outside Sydney's house. Her daughter's Alecia and Sophia. Both of them looked so much like their Mother, Aunt and even Grandmother. She undid her seatbelt and turned around slightly to face the. Both of them had been quiet the whole way.
"Are you two ok? I know it's a big shock and maybe I should of prepared you better. But your Aunt Sydney says there is a decision to be made and she wants all of us to decided it."
"Mom, we don't really…" Alecia started
"..truly understand out family completely. But Grandma…." Sophia continued
"..Irina. She has loved us unconditionally. And if…." Alecia said jumping backing
"..she has done something or not done something." Sophia continued again.
"We will support her" The twins said in unison.
"Thank you for be so mature about this. I am so grateful for this at the moment." Nadia said to them, a slight smile on her lips at the bond that she saw between her daughters.
Nadia turned back around and reached for her door handle to let herself out. The twins followed her out as well."
They all proceed to walk up to the front door where Sophia rang the bell. They only had to wait moments for the door to be opened.
"Alecia, Sophia." Sydney greeted her nieces warmly
"Hi Aunt Sydney" They both said in reply
"Laura is in the lounge. If you can join her please. I need a quick word with your mother."
The twins walked away into the lounge leaving Nadia and Sydney alone.
"How did they take it about Mom?"
"Okay so far. But later well who knows. This is one time I really wish that their father is around."
"Have you though about trying to contact him? I'm sure you could use agency resources to find him."
"And say what? That he has twin daughters born almost thirteen years ago. That decision will be up to the girls"
The twins existence was due to a one night stand. It was supposed to be an thing that she should have been able to forget. But fate decided not to let that happen. Nadia had the girls which she hadn't planned for but she loved them whole hearted since they were born.
Nadia and Sydney went in to the lounge to find the girls talking happily together.
"Laura Sweetheart. Alecia, Sophia. Can I speak to you please?"
They all turned around to where Sydney was standing.
"I spoke to Mom today. And she said, well what she said persuaded me to believe she is truly innocent. That she is being set up."
"Set up by whom?" All three of the girls said at once.
"By a very old friend of ours." Jack said coming though from the kitchen.
"And I'm so sorry about this Nadia. It's you father. He's been working with Cole to bring your mother down. Arvin Sloane is the one we need to stop."
