Devastating Secret™

A New Secret

What the hell Wattpad? Anywho...

Eva whispered, "I should prepare the kids in case. I wish I could send them to the bunkers now."

"This is why it has to be us, Eva. Together there's no way we'd lose this country."

"So, we're going to be heroes then. I don't have much experience in that area, but I'll follow you wherever you go."

"Thank you, Eva." Noah responded soberly then smirked, "Batman makes Catwoman a hero. I like it!"

"You would." Eva replied dryly then added, "Frankly I wanted to be Wonder Woman."

"Yeah, being an all-powerful goddess would appeal to you more." Noah teased.

"Plus, her father was also an all-powerful asshole."

"True." Noah agreed as he watched Amelia and the boys, "I'm worried about them though." He stated, jutting his head towards the children, "You're right, they need normal lives. The twins' first day was a media circus with at least twenty Secret Service men having to shield us from reporters. In another four years, they'll be six and maybe able to recover from all this. Amelia on the other hand will be almost nine. This life would be all they know."

"Dropping them off to school is always a big show." Eva muttered angrily, "You think they'd be bored of it by now."

"Are you sure you're willing to put up with another four years of this?"

"I'm a survivor. I'll be fine."

Noah's phone rang and checked the ID. It was Alex. He got up and walked away not wanting Eva to be excited.

"What did you find?"

"Nothing," Came Alex's reply on the other end, "but there's a guy all the way from Ohio who has a sick mother who wants to see Eva. Don't worry I checked his story, the sick mom part is legit. She claims Eva looks like her daughter Suzanna who ran away three years before Eva was born. What do you suggest, Sir?" Alex finished, lapsing into protocol.

"Get a DNA sample from the man and I'll send you one from Eva and if it pans out we go see the mother if not, I'll write him a letter or something offering regrets."

"Will do," Alex said and hung up.

"What did he find?" Eva asked from behind him.

Noah glanced at her loafer-covered feet and sighed. There were no keeping secrets from someone who could sneak up on you like that. "I need a DNA sample from you."

"How do you intend to collect?" Eva teased and when Noah just looked at her, she said, "Talk first."

"Eva let me do it my way. This could be another dead end."

"Fine!" Eva huffed, "What do you want, hair?"

"Saliva will do."

She kissed him then laughed, "I couldn't resist."

"I'll call Suzanna to come to collect," Noah responded seriously.

"Can you have her destroy it after?" Eva asked, and Noah looked at her strangely. "It's better if my DNA doesn't remain on the system."

"You've been in hospitals before..."

"Chosen by me. And with good reason." Eva explained.

"Does it need to be destroyed? Noah asked, suddenly curious if she was careless.

"No!" Eva declared understanding. "I just like having it that way as a backup."

"Doesn't it bother you that you need to be always aware of things like that?"
