'Agent'

Chapter 3

March 1996 somewhere in Belarus

Please get inside here and don't come out! Her mother said. Helena stayed inside the closet. She didn't like it in there, maybe sometimes when she played hide and seek with her dad, but other than that it was too dark in there. She heard voices and a loud noise. It sounded like a gun. She wasn't sure. She could still witness what was happening, even if she was inside the wardrobe.
She suddenly saw mommy taking steps to the back until her back hit the wall. A tall man was shouting at her.
"Give me the flash disk with the Roosevelt plans" the man said with heavy accent.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Poor Laurel answered trying to recover from the shock of seeing her husband dead while typing a number on her phone behind her back. The police.
Helena was afraid, why did that man wanted to hurt mom with a knife near her throat? Everyone loves mom... She makes delicious chocolate cake too. Why would anyone want to be bad to her?
He slapped Laurel. She's on the floor now.
"Give me. The fucking files." He slapped her again. Helena jumped outside shouting for her mom. The man turned towards the girl and smiled viciously.
"Well, well, well what do we have here?" Helena looked around, saw her father on the floor? She started shouting at him, shaking him. Why wasn't he responding? Was he sleeping? Why were his eyes open? The man grabbed Helena quickly forcing her to stay still as the blade was now near her throat.
"Please, I'm begging you, I'll give you money, whatever you want just leave her alone!"the mother begged him and kept crying.
"The flash disk! Or else I'm afraid I'll have to hurt your baby doll" He said loudly. His breath smelled awfully. Laurel tried to remain calm. She got up and took something that was placed between the wall and the bookcase. She threw it a few steps away from him. The man pushed Helena to her mother who hugged her tightly crying, reassuring her little daughter that everything will be fine, that she loves her and that she's safe . The man got up and separated mother and daughter. Glanced at Helena and said:
"Now your mommy wasn't very cooperative so-" then the little girl saw it happening in less than a second, in less than a second her whole world was destroyed, her purpose, her inspiration. How did everything happen so quickly? Blood started running like a river down her mother's neck and beautiful clothes as she fainted. Helena started screaming and crying. The man grabbed her again. He didn't want any trouble in the future the kid should be eliminated, after all she's just a kid, nothing enough to make him worry. He was ready to kill her but something was keeping him from doing so. Helena had her eyes shut, she was so afraid she couldn't look at the man. Suddenly police sirens were heard and the man panicked, stood up quickly and left, trying to find a way out, which after all he did find.

Now

I took a last sip of my coffee. Enough investigation for today, all these files cause me headache. I put my jacket on and got to my car. It was time to go to "work". The Commander said I have a new exciting case. I will also have to travel again. She said it would be so easy and so much fun, at least for me. I fixed the mirror inside the car.
'I wonder what kind of mission it is that I will have to travel to Alaska." I said to myself and turned on the engine.
