The Spies Daughter

Chapter 2

"Let's just focus on you getting out of here okay." Jackson smiles rubbing my shoulder once again, I just nod looking down but I knew the only thing that's going to be on my mind is my dad until we find him.

The next day I was released from hospital, where my mum hadn't shown up the whole time, it's great to see where her priorities lie. Jackson didn't leave my side though, he's actually been really nice. I walk out the hospital with a few cuts and bruises which meant I can now focus on finding dad. Jackson quickly leads me to a black car with dark tinted windows, I slowly climb in to discover the driver was already in the front, this is a really scratchy Uber. Jackson gets in beside me, but before he could fully close his door we were driving down the road away from the hospital.

"Where are we going?" I ask looking over at him while he texts on his phone and putting a finger on his ear, did he have an earache?

"To see your mum." He says acknowledging me for a second before turning his attention back to his phone, it's nice to know I'm so incredibly interesting to others.

I look out of the window as we drive very fast down the road, this was when I saw 2 black Range Rovers, one in front and one behind like they were guarding us or something.

"Eta 2 minutes." Jackson speaks up randomly holding his ear, wait is he wearing a ear piece or something?! This makes me very confused, more confused than I've been this whole time.

I take a look at the driver, he was wearing a black suit but on his waist was a handgun, I look down at Jackson's side to see he was also carrying, okay this just got ten times scarier!

We soon pull up at a gate where two guards spoke to the people in the Range Rover in front of us, the bar goes up where the car in front pulls in first, our car behind him entering what looks like an underground car park. Once all the cars were in, a steel shutter door goes down blocking us from leaving the car park. We park up Jackson getting out the car first holding his hand out to help, once I'm out I have a chance to look around the dark car park.

"This way." Jackson ushers me over to a door which one of the men from the other cars types a code, the door opens making light pour in the dark car park but also blinds me.

Jackson continues to guide me through the door where I see a bunch of people sitting at desks, some were running up and down the stairs, while others were shouting random numbers, it looked like a really busy office.

I'm not in there long as I'm led into another room which looked like a weird salon place, two people a man and a woman stood talking to each other but stopped when we walked in.

"Ally, this is Rachel and Ryan who are going to be doing your makeover." Jackson smiles but I just stare at him confused, I didn't know I was getting a makeover. "Oh sorry I must have forgotten to tell you, your mother wants you to have a complete makeover, she'll explain when you see her in a short while." He smiles pushing me over to Rachel and Ryan before he walks out the room, okay what is happening?

"How do you feel about going brunette?" Rachel asks smiling, I just stand there speechless.

What's going on?

After a few hours they say I'm ready walking me over to look in the mirror, I looked totally different. They'd coloured my hair so I was no longer a blonde but brown, they cut it to about shoulder length and changed my clothes completely. Ryan walks to a cupboard pulling something out coming back over.

"I love the colours of your eyes but with your hair now being brown they'll stand out more, you don't have to wear these all the time just when you're out in public." He explains handing me two boxes of brown contacts, why is it a bad thing if my eyes stand out?

Before I could question it, Jackson walks back in looking me up and down with a smile. Why are people so happy with changing the way I look, that doesn't give me great self esteem! He thanks the twins before taking my arm pulling me out the room, this dude is always on the move, doesn't he sit down for even a second?

I'm taken into a room where he leans down the machine scanning his eye, okay where the heck am I?! The door unlocks where he guides me into a kind of dark room with a huge screen, standing in front of the screen was an outline of a person but they weren't facing us. Jackson makes me stop just behind the woman, this was when she realised we were there and turns, where I come face to face with my mother.

"Hello Ally, I see the guys downstairs did a good job on your makeover." She smiles looking over at me but I don't go to speak, I was way to shocked at the everything that just occurred. "Well done Jackson, can you excuse us for a moment?" She asks turning to Jackson, he nods squeezing my shoulder a little before walking out the room leaving only me and my mother alone.

I just stand there staring at her for a while, this is the first time I'm seeing her in nearly two years. She hasn't changed much, the same haircut, the same style, I don't know what the heck to make of this situation.

"So how's everything been going, do you still work at that restaurant?" She asks making conversation, I just nod not going to speak. "That's good, how are things with your friend what's his name Jacob, Parker?" She asks trying to think of his name but getting it wrong each time, it just shows how interested she is about my life.

"Do you mean Peter?" I ask helping her, she nods pointing at me waiting until I answered her question. "He's fine, can you stop trying to distract me from what's really going on, where the heck am I? Why am I here? And where the heck is dad?!" I ask loudly, now I was face to face with her I could finally start getting answers for the questions I've been asking, which haven't been answered!

She sighs turning around back to the screen walking away a little, but stops turning to look at me.

"I can only answer two of those questions but first, I'm going to have to explain something to you." She sighs slowly walking back over to me, I just stand still staring at her getting rather worried. "I haven't been truthful to you about my line of work, I'm not a lawyer that helps rich people get away with things they shouldn't, I'm a spy." She bluntly says looking at me, I stare at her confused not believing her.

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 kidn*pped?" 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 kidn*pped 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.
