Chapter Three: 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 world's 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 mother's 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.
