Chapter 5
"Your mother? But that's Irina Derevko in that picture?" Pablo said kind of unsure about what was going on.
"That's what I meant by a long story." Nadia said as she walked over to Pablo and pulled him to the side. "Look, I don't mean to give you the brush off but can you give us some space , we a lot to discuss."
"Do you want me to leave the file for you?"
"Yes. Thank you Pablo. And I'll be In touch once I know what is going on."
Pablo gave one last look at Nadia and then walked away leaving the two girls alone, Sydney waited for him to completely leave before she continued.
"Nadia. I was sure she was dead." She said as she walked closer to where Nadia was.
"Really Sure, 100 that it was?" Nadia said unsure completely about what was going on.
"NADIA!. I was identifying our mothers dead body! I wasn't going to confuse her with anyone else!."
"Is their anything that could have been done to fake it?"
"Yes. Their was a project a few years ago. A project involving Genetic doubling. There is two tests which can be used to identify the person and they cleared showed it was our mother.
Nadia gestured to the table that was between them and mainly the folder on it that had changed the lives again.
"Well, something strange is going on. Because according to that Photo there are Mother is very alive and kicking. We need to regroup. I'm going to call my father see if her can reassign someone else to here."
"What are you planning Nadia?"
"I want both of us back in LA. We need to get started on this. I want to speak to Jack see if I can get access to the file on Mom and get that man Kendall that you mentioned involved."
"Nadia. Before we continue. I have something to say. It was Dad who….
"He killed Mom didn't he." Nadia said tears in her eyes,
"Jack, how? Why did you do it?" Nadia sadness by this time had turned into angry, but something else, betrayal about what had happened.
"Nadia. Sit down and I will tell you." Nadia headed to the chair opposite from Jack desk and where he was seated, she looked him deep in the eyes a pleading look strongly through hers.
"Why Jack, Why?" she asked again
"No Matter what I say it's going to sound wrong. So here goes. Irina placed a hit on Sydney. I was incensed and I thought the only way I could sort it out was to kill her and take her out of the equation. Something I regretted straight away. And the how, I couldn't shoot, I do not know why I just couldn't. So I meet her on the pretence of discussing Sydney and administer a compound which stopped her heart."
Witb that Nadia started to cry her emotions trying to escape. Sydney who had standing by the door rushed over to her and knelt down, grabbing Nadia's hand and looking her in the eye.
"Syd. She… She" Nadia attempted to say through her tears. "She wanted to kill you. I can't believe I was going on about this woman and she had done this to you. All I could think about was finding her"
"Nadia. My sweetheart. Even I want to find her now that I now that she maybe alive. Even after what she did. And Nadia I want to apologize so much for keeping you in the dark."
"Syd there's no need. I accept and I understand. Put please can you just give me a moment alone with Jack,"
"Sure." Sydney said as she stood back up and kissed her sisters forehead "Come find me when you are done."
Sydney departed the room and Nadia started a tirade.
"I've may of just implied to Sydney that things were okay. But it's not fully. You killed her in full knowledge what it would do to me and Syd. There could have been another reason for the hit, but you didn't bother to even find out. Now we can possible have a chance to find out. So Jack there is somethings you can do for me. Firstly let me see the file I know you have on Mom and also I want you to talk to Kendall about this."
Nadia finished and stomped out of the room to where Sydney was.
"Can I ask you a favour? I need to talk to Aunt Katya. Can you arrange it?"
Nadia and Sydney walked straight to where the Guard was standing. Outside a interview room they had requested. They pulled out their id and showed it to the guard that was their. They had decided to pretend that it was CIA visit instead of the family one that it was. "
"Has all the stipulations that we mentioned been put in place?"
"Yes Agent Bristow. No Guards will be presents. And all security cameras are switched off.
"Thank You" Sydney replied before stepping into the room with Nadia following. As soon as they entered the guards left.
"Sydney. It is as pleasure. And oh Nadia you as well.. Are you here for a personal visit?"
"No Aunt Katya." Nadia said heading straight to the point. We're here to talk about Mom with you."
"What do you need to talk about regarding Rina?"
"The fact that she may still be alive. Did you know about this?" Sydney
"I didn't even know about Rina's death until a few weeks ago and sure did not know about this. I haven't' heard from her since she tasked me to get you and Vaughn out of Korea"
"Is they're someone else we can try to talking to." Nadia asked
"Yes. You can try Ye….."
Kendall walked through APO to Jack's office, amazed that up until an hour ago he hadn't even known that it had existed.
"I thought you had retired, I should of known that it involved a black operation. So Jack what do you need me so desperately for."
"It's involving my ex wife."
"What about Derevko?"
"She's not as dead as we thought."
"I know Jack, I've known she's been alive for the last few months."
