Unlocking The Secrets Of Secret Agent

chapter 24

Kandis pov: 

I took a deep breath and looked at Finn and Callen for approval. They both gave me a nod and I opened the door to the principal's office. peeking in, Mr. Jones looked up at me, I smiled at him.

" Oh Kandis, come in " well he looks kind of in a good mood? I guess. 

We three came in and stood there in front of him. 

" Sit down, I am glad it's not a complaint about you using your fist again, Kandis," he said giving us full attention . I smile sheepishly as this is the only response I can think of right now. 

" Okay, so I am not going to scold you, you did what you thought was important and I really respect your decision, even I feel that you shouldn't have left her there. You three didn't know how badly she was injured so you were correct with what you did, you took her to the hospital. You even called us from time to time and I appreciate you. I heard Mr. Phillip's point of view too, and he was just following the rules of the school and was concerned about you four.  I made him understand your situation too, so you don't need to worry about facing him  "  a smile crept over our faces as we got through this trouble.  

" Now you can go home and enjoy your remaining day," he said as he got up from his desk. 

" shit-" what time has it been? I have to meet uncle ducas and Mr smith .... shit i cursed in front of principal . i slowly looked back up to see if i am in trouble but seems like everyone here is just curious for what made me curse.

Callen raised his eyebrows , " I am late , I have a meeting" . I said .

I turned to mr Jones and he nodded in approval .  I smiled at him and left his office with boys . 

"Where to ? " I looked up at callen. 
" My house " I said smiling .
" Till when ? " He asked .
" As soon as possible " I said and ran to his car with him and Finn following behind . 

Finn came besides me and ran infront of me , " uh-huh " I increased my speed going ahead of him, challenging him .

" Car keys are with me " we both abruptly came to a halt . We looked back at callen who was now walking slowly . Wait I observed one think , when there is a serious situation like a while ago in hospital, callen remains silent but  He actually is silent so cannot say anything.  I just cannot predict him .

" Smart move but come fast " I whined. When he decided not to give In. I went to him and grabbed his hand , pulling him so he starts walking fast but he stopped and now I am just ' trying' to pull him .
" Callen ! " I whined .
", Okay okay , let's go " he said chuckling .
We three ran to his car and settling inside, callen started the car and now we're out of our school premises.

" What is it? " Callen ask .

" What? "

" I am asking about the meeting you said earlier" well I can just tell him it's not like it's a secret .

" My uncle and Smith are going to come , they said they want to tell me more about my parents " he looked at me with concerned . I looked out of the window , I saw Finn was wearing earphones .

" Don't worry , today will go oka- .... I hope will go okay " I said not looking at him.

He dropped me off , I waved to them. I walked up the stairs than to take the elevator. I didn't feel anything till now about meeting uncle but now I am tensed. What if it goes opposite of what I am thinking ?

My hands were cold , grabbing onto the railing of stairs , I ran up.  I saw uncle's SUV parked below just at his usual place so he is already here.  I walked in front of the door , I could hear some voices coming from inside. I knocked on the door.  Mr Smith opened the door , he gave me a weak smile . I don't want him to get upset over what happened, I gave him a bright smile and hugged him . Must have been quite surprising for him because it took him a little of more time to understand that I was hugging him .

" I am sorry-" I know he would apologize to me after every 5 min now
" Are we going to do this here ? Let's go inside" i said chuckling.

Okay see I am trying my best to keep it light , I am keeping my mood better too so god if you messed this up so see how I.... cannot do anything .

I went inside the living room and saw uncle sitting on the couch and Nora on the other couch.

I remembered the day he left , no words just left.  Why ? How ? When? I didn't know a thing . He just left.  The smile which I was trying to keep was now fading away . I don't wish to smile at him . I said I don't blame him and that I love him , but now why I cannot? Am I going to be at that point again where he would again leave? Again leave and this time with my remaining family? What if I get alone.... I mean Nora , Smith are the only one I can look up to.

There was a awkward silent in the room when nora spoke " come kat , sir here "

I went to the couch and sat besides her and Mr Smith sat besides Mr Ducas.  Until I don't get the answers from him he is Mr ducas not my uncle. 

" Kat , uh ,I am sure you have many questions my child " did he just say ' my child ' . I still remember how he used to call me by sweet names but then he left and after all this he say ' my child' as he ever thought about his child before leaving?

" Why?" I wanted to sound bold but it just came out as whisper as my lips trembled. I blinked to keep my tears in. All I wanted to do was just run to my mom and hide from this situation.

He looked down " kat see-"
" Just directly give me the answer" I said with shaking voice.

He was quite for some time and then he spoke " I had some work , very important work "

wow okay , so you just go without telling a single word . I closed my eyes to calm my anger. 

" Kat let me explain this to you from start "
" Why do you suddenly want to explain all this ? " I asked . Everything is just suddenly coming infront of me and I have to idea to how to face it . It's like the ball is coming at me in full force and without catching it , I am just douching it .

" Please kandis , listen " Nora placed her hand on mine and gave it a light squeeze . I gave him a nod.

" You have been known that your parents were secret agent Right and that they didn't die in a car accident "

Please don't take it out again , I am trying so hard not to think about it and I don't want to blame the people in front of me but everytime this topic comes in my mind I have only this one question. I was their daughter besides Mr Ducas everyone are my parents Friend. I know this is so wrong to say , they aren't just friend but family . They raised me.  But I still think that being their daughter I didn't know anything about my parents and them being just friends....

I am already feeling so guilty to even think like this , I love these people so much . It shouldn't matter if they know or not , if they knew before me or not . But I don't know why it's hurting. I love them so much that I never expected them to lie to me or is it that I have been so confident about my parents , that I know them very well?

I looked up at Mr Ducas and Mr Smith with my teary eyes as their eyes softened.

" Mr Smith used to work with your parents too , that means he was a agent too " I quickly looked up at Mr Smith and he gave me a nod .

" Nora was junior of your father , she wasn't a agent but she was studying under him " he said.

" But I left in between when your parents died , I couldn't find the courage to work for the people who did this " Nora said.

" What people? " I asked , confused.

Mr ducas took a deep breath " I am also not from that field but being your father's uncle I knew about his real reason of death "

I looked down , keeping up with his words.

" Now this is not the main thing kandis" Mr Smith said . I looked up at him .

" You might like it and you might not like to hear it but It's the truth " he said .

" Just say it already " I said in a low voice .

" Your parents are alive "
