Family chapter 5
Annabelle pov
My door opened and my brother walked in and switched on the light. It was so good to see him. Working for the MI6 was even more dangerous than being a freelancer.
When you're a freelancer people take it like your doing your job, that you have nothing personal against them. When your working for an organization people tend to kill you, not your boss.
I tackled him into a bear hug and when I let go our eyes locked. I could see the worry in his eyes. He had, had that same look ever since Alex got himself involved with the MI6.
I sensed it was more than Alex. Josh doesn't get worried for no good reason. When he does it is usually something big.
" What's wrong?" I inquired. I hated not knowing what was up.
" Nothing to bother your head about" He said, "and stop hacking. It's putting your nose where it isn't needed."
"Who said any thing about hacking." I asked
" Your hacking bracelet is out and so is your laptop which equals the proof that you have been hacking." He replied indicating that I had left the things on my bedside table.
I just shrugged my shoulders in response. Looking at the alarm clock/ radio it was 1:30.
"Come let's go to the kitchen your hand looks like you grated it." I said noticing his hand for the first time. It was wrapped in a dressing but it clearly needed a change.
It was his turn to shrug and we walked into the kitchen.
Josh put the kettle on and I went to get the first aid box. Our first aid box looked like the type they used for sports teams it was huge. It had every thing we needed and more.
Taking the disinfectant and clean wrappings out onto our table. I never did the medical stuff for him he preferred to do it himself.
Pouring hot water into a two liter jug with a rooibos teabag and a teaspoon of sugar. Pouring it out into two cups. That was an indicator I wanted to know what happened. I was sick of being kept in the blue. When I was determined to get something nothing was going to atop me. This was one of those moments.
"I guess I have to tell you don't I ?" He said taking one of the cups.
I nodded grabbing the other one cup. Inhaling the bitter smell he started.
"Lets start at the beginning", he said "let's start right at the beginning with our family history."
" The Dimitriv's were the epitome of excellence. Wealth, power, looks, intelligence. Friends nearly in every nation. Their only rivals were the Gallagher family. Every son in the Gallagher family were trained in forms of intelligence and counter-intelligence. The rivalry remained between them for a while.
But one day the good old Romeo and Juliet romance came in the picture. Daphne Gallagher had fallen in love Alec Dimitriv. To prevent the marriage from happening the Gallagher's moved to the New World today's USA.
That really pissed Alec off; to prove his love to her he traveled across the Atlantic. Thus proving his love to her father. Because her father saw his worth he united the two." He ended. "That's as far as I'm going today. I'll tell you the rest when I get time. Right know I need my beauty sleep."
Draining the last of his tea, he got up and left the kitchen. We had finished the whole jug. I knew not to rush him, he would tell me the story in his own time at his own pace.
A/N: Rooibos is a type of tea that grows in SA it is bitter but not strong. I've always heard people raving about reviews, but never understood it till now. Reviews equal good chapters so review even if they are anonymous.
