Family chapter 2
Annabelle pov
That's right we're in cold England. Going quickly through security. I absolutely hate security checks. The metal detectors skimming infront of your body. Right across from me Josh gave me a reassuring smile.
I was done first with all the security. Walking briskly I went towards the luggage terminals. Shortly afterwards Josh joined me. As soon as we saw our luggage Josh grabbed it. It would have looked very suspicious to see a fourteen year old lifting luggage that weighs roughly 30kg.
We walked outside and immediately spotted a person with a board that read "Mr. and Miss Dimitriv of the Royal & General Bank'
Without a moment hesitation Josh walked towards it. It wasn't normal for Josh to just hop in a car with anyone. During the whole trip he hadn't told me a thing about what was going on. All I wanted know was answers hopping in that car.
"The Royal and General Bank is greatly sorry for your losses. My name is Mr. Crawley." Said the driver
"Cut the crap" said Josh," I know about the MI6 and that you take care of all the paper work."
That sentence cleared most of my doubts. I might be fourteen, but I knew about the MI6. If they were involved it had something to do with us or mum's last living sibling Ian.
" Your uncle Ian has been killed while on his latest mission." Said Crawley driving threw an area I recognized as West London. Chelsea to be more specific. He stopped in front of a house I recognized to be mom's childhood home.
The realization of what had just happened, where we were and why we were there just swept over me. I was trying to hold back the wave of sadness that had washed over me. Our last living relative had just died. Through the one thing that ran in my family's blood and history. Intelligence, surveillance, espionage and assassination. The thing that had killed of my entire family one by one.
Crawly knocked at the front door. We were greeted by a blond boy my age that looked almost like the carbon copy of uncle John and a red head that looked around Josh's age.
They invited us in and to say they were shocked at who we were, is the understatement of the century. What we found out was a shock to me. All this time Josh has not mentioned even once that I had a cousin.
Throughout the day four people had entered. My mind barely registered what was going on.
We had lunch at this burger place. So far I had learned very little about Ian. He had hated the word uncle. He liked good wine, classical music, had no friends and was a manager for a bank.
What shocked me the most was that Alex knew nothing of our family history. Not the reason of why anyone in our family had died.
Alex himself was a very interesting person. An inch or two taller, sandy blond hair and a very well built body for a fourteen year old. Excellent at sport and on the honors board. His favorite sport was soccer and favorite team was Chelsea. I myself am a Chelsea supporter and hate Man U.
What I found out about his house keeper was that she was eighteen when she came to England to study law. She looked for accommodation and came across the Ian. jack had looked after Alex and did light housework. She was an excellent cook, but rarely made anything that took longer than ten minutes to prepare.
All of us felt pent up and all of us wanted to carry on with our normal lives. I personally wanted to go back to South Africa the weather here was making me sick. I missed the large open spaces and clean air. I really hope that after Ian's funeral we can all go back to our normal lives.
I could see everyone especially Alex wishing for normalcy again.
