All Chapters of The Spies Daughter : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The car ride from what everyone calls the base, was long and quiet. I could tell Jackson didn’t know what to say to try and make this situation any better, while I was trying to stop myself from crying over everything, I had told that man but also my mother. Everything I said was true, I have always felt that way even when I was really young. But I knew that I could never talk to anyone about it, my dad could just tell by looking at my face that whenever my mum would come home for a short period of time, I would feel so awkward and try to avoid her at all costs. But right after she left, I would start to regret it as I never had the chance to see her, and I threw it away because I was hiding. “Maybe this is a bad time to bring up Mario, but last night after you fell asleep, I was able to find a new lead.” Jackson says finally breaking the silence as we pull up at his house, I wipe my final tear from my eye before looking over at him with a smile. “It’s always the right time for the

In no time at all, I was standing on Jackson’s shoulders attempting to pick the lock on my mother's office window. This wasn’t even the hardest part of Jackson’s amazing idea, we had to sneak into a base which is heavily guarded! We had to army crawl through a bush! “Would you explain to me again why we have to go through all of this trouble to send my mother an anonymous tip, I still don’t understand why we can’t just send her an email?” I say while still trying to wiggle the lock, this window is much harder to unlock than any door I have come across! “Like I keep saying, I work here so I know how things go. If we send your mother an email, it will most likely go to her spam folder where she will either never see it or brush it off as ridiculous. But now we’re placing the tip with evidence on her desk, she’ll know that we’re serious without having to know who we are.” He explains as I’m finally able to get some movement with the lock, at least I know it’s not a lost cause. “But ho

I stand there dumbfounded on what I was supposed to do, I mean I knew somebody would be in here but not the agent that has been missing! Jackson stood there frozen in place, I also knew this was down to shock from seeing his sister, the one we were just talking about right in front of him after all this time. “Jackson, oh my god you’ve found me.” Allison cries once the shock had somewhat passed, Jackson takes a look at me to make sure I was okay before he rushes over to help his sister out of the chains. “I’ve been here for years, I never thought I would get to see you again.” She cries as he’s finally able to loosen the chains and she slips out. The first thing she does is wrap her arms around her brother, he soon holds her tightly as they cry against each other. I smile but did feel like a really obvious spare part, perhaps I should just take a seat so I’m really not out in the open like this. “You guys have to be careful of Derek, he isn’t what he says he is and actually works w

We spent hours at the base with Allison, I think it’s the longest I’ve been at that place since this whole situation begun! Allison was explaining what had happened with Mario and where she has been staying, it sounds terrifying but also, Jackson and I were right on what our investigation was telling us. According to Alison, the night of her engagement to Derek, they headed to a hotel room which Derek had booked for them. She thought they would have a lovely evening until she walked into the bathroom, Mario stood there with an evil smile on his lips. As Alison had been working tirelessly on the case alongside my mother, she knew who he was straight away. He congratulated her on her engagement to Derek, but also told her things weren’t going to be the fairytale she had dreamed off. Before she knew what was happening, Derek comes up behind her and slipped her what she suspected was chloroform to cause her to pass out. When she finally awoke, she was in the little shed place Jackson, a

We continue to speed past traffic towards wherever this farm was, the whole world was a blur as we race down backroads and down alleys. I still had Jackson’s phone in my hand trying to call my mum, but each time it would go to voicemail caused the worried feelings to get closer and closer to the surface. I couldn’t stop the worried thoughts from swirling around my head, what if something bad had happened to her and Reece? The last time we had a proper conversation was an argument and the final time we spoke; I was so cold towards her. Yes, I’m still angry that she was never upfront with my dad and I about what she did. If we would have known she did this for work, we would have been more prepared if someone like Mario was going to appear in our lives. But as much as I’m angry with her, I still care about her so much. She is my mother after all, somebody I have always wanted a relationship with no matter what had happened through the years. I don’t want her going such as that thinkin
