Chapter Five: Mothers Daughter
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56We walk in silence for a few minutes, I was mesmerised by all the expensive looking houses on this street. They are the biggest houses I've probably ever seen in my life; these were not cheap is all I can say! Which begs the question, how much money does my mum actually make if she's able to afford a house here?
Jackson was still searching the perimeter but was trying to be sneaky, I had my arm wrapped around his to make it seem like we were a couple. Which I love how many things are discussed with me before they happen, note the sarcasm.When I looked in the mirror to check my contacts it kind of made me sad, I looked nothing like me at all. My hair is a different style, length and colour, heck my eyes are even a different colour! The only thing I could keep the same was my clothes, but everything else was changed.I hope and pray that this whole pretending I'm someone else thing isn't for too long, for many reasons. The first, obviously because I want my dad to be home safe but also, I don’t want to act like someone I'm not. I want to get back to my normal life going to work, hanging with Peter. He was coming to pick me up the other night, I hope it didn't freak him out too much seeing that sort of scene. What if there's a whole police investigation going on around us? My mum never said she worked for the police so how would they know? Am I classed as a missing person? I don't know how I feel about that to be honest; I'll ask my mum next time I see her what's going on with that?"You know back at the house you were talking about the men?" I ask breaking the silence we had going on, Jackson nods for a second still looking around. “If you know that, you must know more about the case-" I start to say but he cuts me off before I could finish my sentence."I can't discus that with you especially, when we're so out in the open like this." He says point blank, no I am not being kept out of the loop if he knows something."Then don't tell me here but when we get back to the house, please I can't be kept out of the loop on this, they have my dad, Jackson." I say giving him puppy dog eyes, mostly to add effect, he looks over at me for a second before sighing."Fine, but you can't tell your mother that I told you anything." He tells me with a serious look, I nod agreeing with him just happy that he's actually going to tell me stuff.Before we could talk anymore, an older woman flags us down from across the road. Jackson tenses at first pulling me behind him, really, she looks like she wouldn't hurt a fly!"Hi, I haven't seen you two around here before so that must mean you're new, so welcome to our little community." She smiles crossing the road to join us, aww that's really sweet of her to do actually."Thank you, I'm Jackson and this is my partner, Alice." He smiles pointing to me, oh so I've also got a fake now too. Again, I love being kept in the loop with things!I send her a little wave from beside him as she starts to tell us a few stories, Jackson did most of the talking throughout the entire conversation. Not because I wasn't down for talking, I love meeting new people and hearing their backstories. Jackson would speak before I had the chance to! We soon wave goodbye to the woman and start on out journey again."Are you scared of older people?" I ask once we were far enough away, Jackson looks over at me totally confused. "When she flagged us down from the opposite side of the road, you looked as though you were gonna smack her or something." I almost laugh at, imagine being afraid of older people, they are some of the sweetest people ever!"I had to make sure she wasn't one of the bad guy's workers." He mutters trying to be quiet, this once again almost makes me laugh."A sweet little innocent woman would work for these bad men; Jackson are you hearing yourself right now?!" I laugh looking over at him, I'm sorry he can't be serious when he's saying that can he?"You can't be too careful; Mario's men could be lurking anywhere ready to pounce! “He exclaims before quieting down a little, he did give me a clue though with that sentence, I know the boss man that has my dad is called Mario. "I think you've been out long enough, let's head back." he tells me turning us to walk back up the hill, yes where he's about to tell me everything he knows.As soon as we stepped in the house, I started asking him questions, he once again was hesitant to answer any of them. He kept saying for me to let him get his bearings before he answered anything, I knew him getting his bearings was eating a bunch of food!He went off to the toilet for a second which gave to time to hatch my plan, I knew all these doors have weird locks on and fortunately for me, Peter was forever losing his keys to his house. After the first few times of spending a bunch of money to get the locks changed, I attempted to pick the lock on his door. After a few attempts I managed to get it done, after that I was his go to pick locker to get into his own house. Now you're probably wondering, what does that have to do with this situation? Well, my mums house has one door to the kitchen and living room, as there basically just one big room with a tiny staircase leading to each room. So, if I lock the door, he is unable to get into the kitchen to get food, I will only unlock the door once he's told me what I want to know. See it's a marvellous idea don't you think?Now in my mind, picking a lock to unlock a door and picking a lock to lock the door, has to be the same thing, right? I make sure there wasn't any keys around before setting to work on the door, it took me a few minutes to work it out, but the door was soon locked. Ha I'm a genius!As on cue Jackson makes his way down the stairs and towards the kitchen, I had my back against the door smiling."I told you I'd tell you everything once I've got my bearings." He sighs attempting to walk towards me and the kitchen, I smile holding my finger up causing him to stop."I know to get your bearings you eat, now there's only one place in this house which has food, that is the kitchen but if you see behind me, the door is locked." I smile moving aside so the door was in full view, he walks over trying the handle even pulling at the door."How did you lock this; your mum keeps all the keys with her?" He asks shocked still trying the handle, he can pull the door all he wants, it's not opening."Would you believe that picking locks to unlock and lock doors are the same?" I ask happily but Jackson doesn't look too happy with me, I just smile crossing my arms. "Now as you said my mum is the only one with the key, so that means I'm your only key to getting the precious food you want, the only way I'm going to open the door is if you tell me everything you know about Mario and my dad." I smile sweetly at him, his mouth his just hung open with shock, I do shock myself sometimes too."You are your mother's daughter, fine! I'll tell you everything." He sighs which causes me to do a victory dance, I can't believe that worked! "Can't we just go in and get a few bits for the road?" He asks whining looking at the closed kitchen door, I shake my head while turning him to face the opposite way."You can have all the food you want, after we have our little talk." I say pushing him into another room to talk, I love when I win.Related chapters
The Spies Daughter Chapter Six: Harsh Truth
We walk into a spare office in the house to have our talk, Jackson told me the living room would be more comfortable to have the talk, but I wasn't born yesterday. As I said before there was only one door leading to the kitchen and living room, if I open the door to get to the living room that would also lead to the kitchen. He's going to have to do better than that to fool me. "Look at the weather today, that's England for you right?" He asks taking a seat at the desk, but once again I knew what he was trying to do. "Enough with the distractions, the sooner we have this talk the sooner you get to gain access to the kitchen." I say sitting the opposite side of the desk, he sighs knowing he wasn't gonna pull the wool over my eyes. "I need to know everything you know about Mario and my dad." I tell him on the edge of the seat, he looks at me confused and a little shocked. "How do you know his name?" He asks looking at me with a raised eyebrow, has he really forgotten that he said his
The Spies Daughter Chapter Seven: First Rundown
In no time we arrive at my mum's work, I'm still unsure what this place is even called so we'll just go with mum's work. The door to the underground garage was already open, we must have raced in at about 100mph, honestly, I don't know what the big rush was for. Once inside he slams on the breaks, the loud screeching sound of the cars tyres echos through the garage, lucky I was wearing a seatbelt! Jackson wastes no time getting out the car dragging me with him, I turn back to the car which was literally in the middle of the parking garage, that can't be legal! Last time, we went through the door, which was closest to the garage but this time, he pulls me around a corner and up a flight of stairs. "Jackson, what the heck is going on?" I ask as we reach the very top, I was nearly out of breath from running up the stairs that quickly, I don't do sports! "Your mother will explain everything to you." He tells me as we reach a door, he swipes a card from out of his pocket causing the doo
The Spies Daughter Chapter Eight: The Boss
Well as you're aware, our organisation deals with some pretty bad people." Reece starts to explain while still leaning on the filing cabinet, isn't he afraid that he's going to break that or something? "Mario definitely fits that category." He says shaking his head looking down at the ground, that’s all anyone ever says when they talk about this Mario dude. “And you guys are sure that this Mario man, is the one that has my dad?” I ask looking at each of them, I didn’t want to undermine them, but they have to be sure they’re not barking up the wrong tree. “We are certain it’s Mario that has your dad, not only did he ring me right after your dad was kidnapped but…. he had a photo of your dad sent over as proof.” My mum said which makes my heart sink, I knew this wasn’t a cute artsy photo of my dad sitting on a tree branch hitting the peace sign, but something bad. “I know this is a stupid question, was dad, okay?” I ask looking up at her as I asked, this causes her to sigh taking a s
The Spies Daughter Chapter Nine: Underdogs
Jackson and I soon arrive back at my mother's house, we didn’t really talk much after I said I never do what I’m told. I could just see he wanted to ask me what I meant, but he also didn’t want to hear the answer at the same time. Jackson was the first one to walk in the house but has to stop and look at me with a smile once he reaches the entrance to the kitchen and living room. At first, I was a little confused, but I soon remember that I had locked the door just before we left. I walk over and easily unlock the door, while he just looks at me dumbfound. “One of my many hidden talents.” I smile opening up the door, he shakes his head walking into the kitchen probably to get food. “I do have many talents which aren’t being put to use just sitting around.” I say taking a seat at the kitchen counter, this does cause him to freeze whilst looking in the fridge. “Your mum was serious Ally; she doesn’t want you involving yourself in this case.” He sighs taking out some yogurt, I haven’t
The Spies Daughter Chapter Ten: Something Special
Jackson and I talk for hours going over my plan, the first thing we needed to get hold of was all the files that my mum and her team have on this Mario dude. Then we’ll be able to have the same information that they have, which will make it a level playing field. I told him my plan which at first, he didn’t like and said there were far too many things that could go wrong. So, I asked him, what his alternative idea was but he didn’t have one, so in the end we went with my plan. I can just hear all of you asking me, what the heck is this plan?! Well, every morning, Jackson has to go into the office to sign things to say he will be with me all day. I have no idea why that’s a thing, apparently, he has no idea either! But anyway, while he’s in there he’s going to talk his way into the building more and head to the filing cabinet that Reece kept leaning against. Now I’m thinking about it, could that be why he was so insistent on standing right up against it? Jackson will take a photo of
The Spies Daughter Chapter Eleven: Vigilante
After we both were finished breakfast, Jackson managing to fit three portions while I was still eating my own. We were soon both sat in my mother's office, which he made sure was locked just in case someone tries to enter the house when his guard was down. “So how did you manage to get all of these files, you said it would be hard?” I ask as he locks the office door behind us, in an event of a fire that wouldn’t be very safe! “It went easier than I first expected, all of the systems are down at the office as maintenance are updating them. That gave me the opportunity to go into the building so I could sign in on paper, I acted as though I was looking for the toilet when really, I went into your mother's office and took a picture of every document on Mario that I could find.” He explains whilst pulling his phone out and handing it over to me, I begin to scroll through all of his many photos of documents. “You guys have all this information on this dude and you’re still not closer to
The Spies Daughter Chapter Twelve: The Monster
It was later that night; I was sat on my bed with everything that Jackson and I had printed off earlier. It took much longer than expected, we had to make two copies of everything because Jackson wanted to take one home so he could have a look in his spare time. Thankfully, we had finished and packed everything away before my mother got home. When she got in the door, something was different. Not looks wise but the way in which she was acting, I don’t see my mother much so I can’t really tell the signs. But when I looked over at Jackson, he was giving her the same look as I was. Once he left, I was going to ask her, but she went straight to her room, and I haven’t saw her since. This did worry me that something bad could have happened to my dad, but I knew she isn’t that self-absorbed to keep that sort of information from me. I was just looking over the file that contained information about Mario’s past, I knew bits and pieces anyway because Jackson gave me a little rundown when I l
The Spies Daughter Chapter Thirteen: First Lead
When I woke up the next morning, it was different to the ones I have become accustomed to living in my new normal. When I went down to the kitchen in the morning, I was surprised to see Jackson standing there smiling at me with food and not my mother. “Your mum had to go in extra early today, she told me to tell you good morning and hopefully she’ll see you later tonight.” He smiles sliding me over a plate of food, I was a little taken back at first trying to absorb all the information that he just told me. “That has to do with the something bad that knocked my mum back she kind of told me about, no idea how she told me about it without actually telling me.” I say picking up the spoon, but I didn’t place in the food as I was too deep in thought. “Have you got any idea what happened at that base place yesterday, I know you saw the way my mother was acting when she got home?” I ask finally taking a bite out of my yogurt, Jackson smiles taking a seat on the counter. “We’ve been over t

The Spies Daughter Final Chapter
~9 months later~ “Noel, table 5 said their dinner was delicious.” I smile looking through to the kitchen with a smile, Noel looks up from the cooker with a smile on his face. “I’ll only produce the best boss.” He shouts before getting back to work, I smile at his comment before turning around to look at my busy restaurant. I better fill you in before you get too confused, yes, I own my own restaurant now. After everything with Mario and the base, I knew it was time I had to head back to my old life and start working in the same boring restaurant I had for years. Let’s just say, I wasn’t too thrilled about it all. My mother saw my reaction and asked why don’t I train up and become an agent, I had proven myself over the months working with Jackson and was the key role in catching Mario. The offer of course, sounded tempting but I knew it wasn’t what I was meant to do. Yes, I had the best experience getting to watch what happens and learn on the job what it offers, but I don’t think
The Spies Daughter Chapter Forty-Four: Bullets
Not even an hour later, Jackson and I were waiting behind the van with the team. The house was only a two-minute walk from here, but we needed to come up with an action plan, everyone having the mutual understanding of how unpredictable Mario can be on the best of days. But when we show up, he will soon realise, there is no way out now and he’ll need to pay for everything he has done to so many people. We don’t even want to know what he’ll do once he realises it’s all over for him, the most unpredictable man will get that much more unpredictable. Jackson was going over with the team of how we will enter the house, the unruly garden will be a perfect cover while they access the situation and make sure my mother and Mario are really there. No one was even talking about how many ways this could go wrong, all of our minds were focused on the job of getting my mother back safely and bringing Mario in. I think if I had allowed myself the moments to think all of this over in detail, I woul
The Spies Daughter Chapter Forty-Three: Mothers House
An hour later, Jackson and I were walking into the base hand in hand. Now my mother has been taken by Mario, and Reece is in the hospital getting treated for being ambushed, Jackson was the boss. We needed a plan to one find where Mario has taken my mother but two, think of a way to bring Mario in without having what happened the last time. I’m led into a room which I had never seen before, it had people at desks filling the entire room. Who all turned to look at us as we walked in, paying extra attention to mine and Jackson’s interlocked fingers. I know it seems highly unprofessional that we’re doing this but let’s be honest, we all knew it was going to happen at some point! Right in the middle of the desks was a circle desk, one big computer in the middle with a bunch of people having panicked conversations with each other. In the centre of those panicked people stood Alison, who also looked worried. But once she turned to look at us, I see relief wash over her senses. “You’re fi
The Spies Daughter Chapter Forty-Two: Jackson
The car ride felt like it was going on for hours, the tracker hadn’t moved since we had been following him but with every street we would turn down, it would feel like more would be added on. Jackson was going the ways I was telling him and was shocked we were in the part of town we were, according to Jackson, this is where most of the police officers and higher ups live. Mario was hiding right under their noses, and they had no idea. But let’s be honest, Mario is very good at what he does, he knew they wouldn’t be looking for him in their part of town, so that’s exactly where he hid. “It seems like the tracker is right on this next street.” I say looking down at my phone, the feeling of finally, being able to find my father at the forefront of my mind. Jackson turns the corner, where a huge office building which towered over all the other buildings stood. I take a look down at my phone and see the tracker seems to be within the building, Mario really wasn’t trying to hide in that p
The Spies Daughter Chapter Forty-One: Tracker
Around half an hour later, we were all on our way towards the building my father would always tell me to remember to go there if something bad happens. Jackson and I were in front in his car while my mother and Reece, were in their car travelling right behind us. For once, I wasn’t nervous about heading to this place, it’s somewhere I had been before but also, a place my father told me I’d be safe if anything happens. Why didn’t I think of this when my father first went missing? What if all we need to stop Mario is in this building? I tell Jackson to take this final right turn where the building soon comes into view, the building itself not changing from the few years I had been here. I don’t take my eyes off the place even after Jackson parks the car, both of our attentions going to this building. “Ready?” Jackson asks turning to look at me with a smile, I take a deep breath nodding my head before we both open the doors and climb out where my mother and Reece were already waiting o
The Spies Daughter Chapter Forty: Mario’s Father
The following day I wake up bright and early, now I knew I could play a key main role in finding my father, I wasn’t wasting anytime. I was even downstairs making breakfast for Jackson and I, normally, it’s the other way around. But I felt thankful for the way he was helping me, he was forced into this babysitting position, where he has been nothing but kind and compassionate even when I have been anything but easy going. Jackson soon walks into the kitchen where he comes to an abrupt stop, I was unsure if this was because I was in the kitchen before he had even woken up or because I was cooking. Before he had time to speak, he had a plate of eggs, bacon and beans in his hands. “What’s the occasion?” He asks taking a seat at the counter looking down at the food I had made, I smile turning around with my glass of water and join him on the counter. “There’s no occasion, I just couldn’t really sleep and thought it would be nice if I make you breakfast this time.” I smile as he takes h
The Spies Daughter Chapter Thirty-Nine: Everything You Need
Jackson and I soon arrive back home, the incident with Peter still fresh on my mind as we walked through the door. I know my mum said a close friend of mine was looking into my disappearance, could that close friend be Peter? Now I’m thinking, I don’t think any of my other friends would go through the trouble. Was Peter just randomly at the restaurant and happened to bump into me, or was he there in hopes of finding more information about me? There are so much unanswered questions, which I probably won’t get the answers to until all of this is over. “After that food, I think I need to lay down for a year.” Jackson says closing the door behind us, after all of that with Peter, I’m shocked he can just go back to normal life. I smile towards him as he throws his keys on the counter beside the front door, switching the lights on. But once they were on, we both jump from shock and surprise to see my mother and Reece sat on the sofa looking at us. “Why the fuck are you in my house sitti
The Spies Daughter Chapter Thirty-Eight: Missing Friend
It was now dinner time the same day, Jackson and I had done nothing but sit on the sofa, watch tv and talk about the most random of things. I know I have been saying I want nothing more than to catch Mario, which means I won’t stop until he’s found. That still remains true, and I want to work any hour I can until I find him, but I actually enjoyed today. I didn’t have to worry what would happen if Jackson and I were to make the wrong move, I didn’t have to sit and listen to all of the horrible details of the kind of things Mario has done to so many people. I felt like I was just a normal person going through their normal life for once. For dinner, Jackson suggested we go out to a restaurant to eat which at first, I was worried about Mario, but I knew he probably wouldn’t try to attack us I mean, he wants my help on more tasks so injuring me in anyway won’t be beneficial to him. The dinner was so delicious, we had picked food up at this place multiple times since I started staying at
The Spies Daughter Chapter Thirty-Seven: Crime Scene
It was later the same day, and I was just getting ready for bed, the entire rest of the day was spent with me, and Jackson sat at the base telling them what had happened. The number of times I had to explain the story of me talking on the phone with Mario was insanity! But that’s not the only part of the story I had to relive in great detail, but the moment we found Derek was also spoken about more times than I could count on my hands. Every time I would have to go over in great detail what happened, the image of his body lying there facing me, his eyes wide open looking terrified kept repeating over in my mind. I felt as though I needed to wash myself repeatedly to get whatever was in the air off me, but still the thought of Derek looking back at me wouldn’t leave. After getting changed, I look at myself in the mirror, my eyes also looking terrified just as Derek’s did. “Pull yourself together Ally.” I whisper to myself in hopes I would start to calm down, but still the feeling wou
