#Chapter 3

Honest

First I wanted to laugh at how ridiculous she sounded, but when her serious face didn't change my laugher soon faded.

/"You're a spy, a spy for what and who?/" I ask crossing my arms, she has to give me more than that if I was going to even remotely believe her.

She says she can't fully tell me but she for works for high up people, I shake my head looking away trying to process all this information.

/"So all this time you've really been here, away from your family to work for some higher up people, with the events that have happened these last few days, I can take a guess that dad going missing is because of your line of work./" I say looking at her growing angrier with each second that past, she just nods her head looking to the floor avoiding eye contact with me.

/"I can now answer the questions you asked me first, you are at the base for the operation I run that hunts down some of the worlds most profound criminals and brings them to justice, you're here because this is the safest place for you at the moment./" She says answering my first two questions, but hesitates on the last about my dad. /"At this moment I don't know where your dad is, but I'm doing everything in my power to find him./" She says tears beginning to prick her eyes as she spoke, which makes fear start creep up inside me.

/"Has dad been kidnapped?/" I ask looking at her with tearful eyes myself, she looks up sending me a sad nod before looking back down, this causes another question to come to my mind. /"Are the people that have dad, the bad people you bring to justice?/" I ask a single tear escaping my eye as she once again nods, I turn away the tears fully leaving my eyes as she spoke up behind me.

/"For years now my team and I have been tracking these horrible people that just go around stealing, vandalising and killing. We got a close lead last week and were about to shut their whole program down, when I got your call that your dad was missing./" She says as I stop walking and turn to look at her, I couldn't believe what I was being told, she pauses but soon continues.

/"On the way to taking you to the hospital, I got a message from them telling me they have your father and if we tried anything they'd.../" she says but doesn't finish her sentence, which makes me walk over to her not allowing her to stop talking.

/"They'd do what?/" I ask crossing my arms, she looks down saying they'd kill him which makes me walk around again, why would anyone want to hurt my dad?

/"So because of the work you do, my dad has been kidnapped where he might be killed and you're just standing there doing nothing, feeling sorry for yourself!/" I shout finally losing my temper with this person that's supposed to be my mother, ha she probably doesn't even know when my birthday is!

/"Ally please don't, I'm trying everything I can do to find him./" She says pleading with me to calm down, but I shake my head turning away. /"I'm trying! I know he's your dad but he's my husband/" she cries which once again makes me blow my top with anger.

/"Which you haven't seen in nearly two years! You've just forgotten about us! We're your family but all you seem to care about is your job!/" I shout back holding back cries that wanted to come out, this is something I've been holding in basically my entire life. /"You've never been there for us when we needed you, ever since I was born you just left us to defend for ourselves, does dad know what you really do?/" I ask finally looking at her face, where tears were rolling down her cheeks, I really didn't give a damn to honest.

/"No, he wasn't meant to know what I really do, no one is./" She says wiping her tears but more were falling, so it really wasn't doing much.

/"You left your husband to look after your daughter without even being honest why, he's stood by you all these years and you can't even be honest with him./" I say looking over at her in a disgusted way, she walks over to stand in front of me.

/"I wanted to tell him what I was really doing but I wasn't allowed, I hated leaving you two but it's what I had to do./" She says as one of the doors at the top open, she quickly turns around wiping her tears away as Jackson walks beside me.

/"I'm sorry for disturbing you but you're due for a meeting in two minutes, I tried to reschedule but they wouldn't allow it./" He says over at my mother, she just nods not turning around to look at us.

/"It's okay, take Ally to my house where she'll be staying, don't leave until I get there./" She says still facing away not even bothering to look me in the eye, what a coward, she can't be that good of a spy.

Jackson takes my arm sending me a soft smile before guiding me out the room, just before we leave I turn back to look at my mum who looked at me in the eyes, I just shake my head allowing Jackson to lead me away.

The car ride to my mothers house was long and silent, I was trying to take in all the new information which was taking a while. Jackson turns the radio on, probably to fill all the silence.

/"I'm sorry I interrupted you talking with your mum./" He says over the radio, I look away from the window to him. /"I know you two hadn't spoken in a long while./" He continues still looking at the road, I shake my head looking back out of the window.

/"It's okay, you tried to hold whatever meeting she was having off and anyway, I don't really want to talk with her right now./" I sigh leaning my head against the window, my dad is out there somehow and it doesn't seem like anyone is doing anything.

/"She didn't forget about you Ally, she speaks about you all the time, I've probably seen thousands of photos of you my two years being here./" He tells me with a smile, I look over at him for a second confused, she was never home so I don't get how she's got photos.

Before I could question him we pull up at a huge house, it was sort of hidden near a bunch of trees but it looked rather expensive. Wait my mum lives here?! She must get paid real good money. Once we stop I get out the car just staring at the house, so this has been where my mum has been hiding, not a bad place to hide out in. Jackson walks ahead unlocking the door, I look around at the little street before following him into the house where he closes and locks the door behind us.

/"Your mum should be back in a few hours, but I'll be here until then./" He says walking into a kitchen, I follow behind as we enter a massive kitchen. /"Are you hungry?/" He asks looking back at me while I stop at the counter, still staring around this huge house.

I just shake my head looking out the huge windows outside, he smiles but opens the cupboard pulling food out. It looked like pasta and some kind of sauce, I walk into the living room area which the walls were just huge windows, what a view. I stand by the window just staring at the dark sky, hoping my dad was safe wherever he was.
