Dead or alive?

Revisiting the past

I am barely alive, bleeding from my arm and leg and struggling to breathe. I can remember how I got in this situation but it's not a happy story. It all started 5 years ago...

I lived with my nan and granddad as my parents had died in a car crash when I was 5. I was 15 when my life changed. A young, naive 15 year old. I was preparing for my GCSE's, which in case you didn't know are very stressful, and had just finished one of my after school lessons. I decided to walk home ( to burn off some of the calories I had gained eating a slice of cake at school... Yum) and noticed that someone was following me. Do you ever get that feeling that someone is stalking you but you can't see who it is? Well that was me. After trying to ignore it, I decided to run the rest of the way home. As soon as I walked through the door, a man in a black suit stepped in front of me. I screamed and backed into the corner. He approached and tried to calm me down. After finally recovering from this horrible fright, he said, in a bellowing voice

" I am James carter member of the BN"

I looked very puzzled.

"What is that?" I replied.

"The BN is the British National who investigate top secret missions all around the world. We are in partnership with over 50 countries. We have received information that a computer virus able to hack into enemy computer, is hidden in this house. I have been sent to retrieve it."

At this point I was even more confused that before. Why would I have some sort of virus in my house.

"I don't know what your on about!"

"Your mum and dad were top secret agents entrusted to keep this virus safe. surely they would have told you"

At this point all of my memories of them come flooding back. I start to well up and a confused look on James' face emerges. I blurt out in a devastating way

"My parents were killed in a car crash when I was 5. How could they be involved in this?"

He replies in a comforting manor

"Your parents were told to keep this a secret so naturally didn't tell anyone. They worked in the BN like me and were one of our top agents. They met in the job and consequently got married and had a child - you. They didn't die in a car crash, but instead trying to defend the virus and stop it falling into the wrong hands. I am so sorry"

I fall back onto the floor in shock. How could this be happening to me. I am just a normal teenager who is preparing for important exams. This doesn't make sense.
