I Have to Protect Who?!

Chapter 9: Jumpy? Not again!

Izada POV:

I've been here for three months now. It's the same as Montana. Being ridiculed or ignored by the students. Being praised by the teachers. I'm sick of it! Aunt Heather is getting more and more secretive. My god! All I did was ask her if she worked near here and she starts ranting about privacy. What happened to the cheerful aunt I was learning about. Besides, she shouldn't be talking. She is the one that surpassed two levels on my anti-hacket program, forceing me to upgrade my system. She can just ask me if she could check my memory. It's really starting to tick me off.

"Izada! Are you alright? Are you still up there?"

"Yes! I'm up here."

"Okay!"  

As the days go by, she gets even more and more jumpy. When she is home, she comes and checks in on me every thirty minutes to make sure I'm still there. I didn't even do anything. I've even spotted a few security cameras. What in the world is she thinking?! Everyday, I have to fight the urge to hack into her laptop to find ot what's going on. She is also at work a lot more now.

Today is realy starting to scare me. Everything seemed dead. No lights, no t.v. running, no ac humming, no sounds at all. O my God! Today is a school day and my alarm clock didn't wake me. O God! I'm late! Crap! Crap! Crap! Wait. Where's Aunt Heather? Doesn't she normally check in on me after my alarm rings? She could have woken me. She's off of work today too. Aw man!

"Aunt Heather! I'm late! I need a ride to school! Aunt Heather, where are you?"

Oh God! Where is she? She's not at work and ... her car is still here. Is she sick? I know she asked me to never go in her room, but... I'm late!

"Knock! Knock!"

"Aunt Hea.....Aaaahhh! Holy Moly! Oh my God! Aunt Heather are you okay? "  

No! There's no pulse, heart beat, breathing, movement, anything! She can't be dead!

"Please Aunt Heather! Stop playing! Wake up! Please wake up!"

Oh God! Is that a bullet hole? No, it is! Who would shoot Aunt Heather? Is this why she was so nervous? Does this have anything to do with her job? Maybe I should try again?

"Aunt Heather, please wake up. I need you. You're all I have left since my parents died. You treated me like family. I have no one left after you. Please wake up."

"You actually wanted this moster to live?"

"What? Who's there? What do you want? Did you kill my aunt?"

"Wow kid, just shut up! Yeah. It was the president's order."

"Don't tell me to shut up! You just killed my sweet, cheerful, clutzy aunt! President's order my butt. You're the monster!"

"Calm down or you'll be unconcious soon!"

"Fine, then tell me what's going on."

"Now you're acting rational. First I should tell you who I am. I'm from the president's secret service."

"Obama's? No way. He would never ask you to kill anyone like my Aunt."

"Actually, he did."

"What! Now you're lying!"

"I'm not lying. Now shut up if you want to hear the story!

"Okay. Sheesh. I'm sorry."

"Your aunt is a double agent. At first she was loyal to the U.S., but then she started to look for her past. She wanted to know where she came from, who her parents were, ect... You know with her being adopted and stuff. She would release U.S. informtion to any country that told her they knew who she was. At the time, we didn't have any idea of her doing this. She finally found the true county she came from which was Russia. To thank them, she told them what she knew about the U.S. government, untill she became thier agent and was just weasleing informtion from us. One of the agents heard her on the phone and traced the call to Russia. We looked into it more and found out she betrayed us. To keep us quiet, she started to kill the agents that knew about what was going on. She has been on the run for about four years. I'm sorry to you ,not your aunt, about killing your aunt."
