Prague, 1988
„Irina! Irina!“
Irina Derevko looked up from what she did and in her sister’s face. “Katya” she replied. The former KGB-Agent seemed tired and absolutely uninterested.
But her sister ignored Irina’s behaviour as if she didn’t recognise it, though she had. Katya was excited like a little child before Christmas, Irina thought. It was weird: How could she thinking about Christmas? It wasn’t nearly Christmas. It was summer, though it was cold in Prague.
“I think we found her. I think we found your second daughter!” Katya exclaimed as she watched her sister’s reaction.
To her surprise, Irina was upset. She raised an eyebrow. “Katya, we talked about this! We agreed to stop searching for her. It’s useless. We followed every lead in the last six years and we haven’t found anything.” Irina stood up and left her room, followed by Katya who wasn’t ready to give up so soon.
“Well, you said, you don’t want continue looking for her. I never stopped. She’s my niece and she deserves her mother to be around. You already lost Sy – “
“Don’t say her name!” The former KGB-Agent interrupted her sister angry, but behind her façade, Katya saw how much it still hurt her sister to remember she left Jack and Sydney. They were also a part of her family which she had to leave in order to keep them save.
Katya couldn’t imagine how it must be for her sister. But this was a reason more for Katya not to stop looking for her other niece. Irina lost Sydney, but finding her other daughter might be able to help to ease the pain a little.
“I’m sorry” Katya sighed.
Her sister nodded, but she also felt guilty. It wasn’t fair being so hard to her sister, she just wanted to help. “I’m sorry, I screamed at you.” Irina smiled a little while she stepped closer to her. “Tell me, what you found out.”
Katya raised an eyebrow. “Sure, you still want to know?”
Her sister only replied a nod. So Katya handed her a brown envelope. Her sister frowned and opened it. It had photos from a little, beautiful girl in it with black hair and dark eyes. “She lives in an orphanage near Buenos Aires. Her name is Nadia.” Katya explained. Irina couldn’t take away her eyes from that picture.
“Nadia” she repeated quietly. Irina wasn’t even sure if her sister had heard her. Finally she looked back at her sister who still worked for Russian Intelligence. “That proves nothing!”
Katya smiled mysteriously. “I sent one of your men in to run a DNA-Test on her. It was positive. She’s your long lost daughter.”
Irina’s eyes dilated. “Then I suggest we get her back.” Katya was relieved to see the old fire back in her sister’s eyes. She wasn’t wrong that Nadia would help Irina to deal with her loss of Sydney and Jack.

Irina watched the orphanage from outside. She saw Nadia who played with two other girls. The former KGB-Agent smiled. Her daughter was really beautiful. Indeed.
It was hard for her to say after this short time she saw her daughter again if she was happy or not. Irina couldn’t imagine her daughter was at this place without a mother and a father, only to live for the hope that one day a family picks her.
It seemed as if the spoken languages in that orphanage were English and Spanish, though Irina wished her daughter would’ve learned Russian. She smiled. She would teach her. Now they had all time in the world.
The former KGB-Agent went inside and directly in the director’s office. He seemed very sympathetic. Irina smiled at him.
First the secretary didn’t want to let her speak with him, but the director finally convinced her to let Irina in his office.
“Excuse my secretary. It has been a rough day and I spent most of my time talking to reporters. It’s sad, but it’s the truth, most people don’t come to adopt one of these kids, they only want to talk about how much money the orphanage costs.”
The explanation was friendly, but really didn’t interest Irina. “You’re very friendly, but I’m here to talk about one of the kids. One of your girls to be exact.”
“Really?” he asked happy and very interested. “You want adopt a child?”
“No. I’m just taking her with me. She’s my daughter, I’m here mother. I want her to live with me. Her name is Nadia.”
The expression on his face changed. It almost seemed as if he was sad which worried Irina. She expected he let her just go with Nadia. “We found a family for Nadia and they will be here in a few hours. Researching if you’re really Nadia’s mother could take months.”
“But I have a DNA-Test!” Irina told him.
“Yes and how did you run it without taking the girl to a doctor?” The director wanted to know. Irina bit her lip. She couldn’t tell him that Katya sent one agent in to get Nadia’s DNA.
“I’m going now. With the girl” Irina firmly told him and before he could reply, she shot him with a tranquilizer she hid under her jacket. The former KGB-Agent was prepared for the opportunity, that it could be hard taking Nadia away from here.
She left the office, passed the secretary’s office. Finally she was in the playing-room. “What are you doing here?! You don’t work here…” the governess exclaimed angry. Irina saw Nadia who watched her in surprise. The brown hair woman stopped the woman by shooting her the tranquilizer in the neck. She felt to the ground. Some kids were screaming.
Irina reached for her daughter and knelt down by her side. “You killed her!” the little girl cried.
“No! She’s just sleeping. I’m sorry you had to see that. Nadia, you have to come with me, okay? You have to trust me. I’m your mother.”
Nadia looked puzzled. “But I thought I have a mommy now.”
Irina smiled lovingly at her. Nadia was really clever, definitely her daughter. “Sweetheart, I’m your real mommy. That’s why I know your name. I’m going to take you with me. Okay?” With these words Irina picked her up and carried her outside.
“No! Don’t take Nadia away.” One of the other little girls cried as she realized that woman was about to take her friend away.
Irina ignored her. She just knew she had to calm her little girl who must be scared to death.
“You’re going to be okay, honey” She whispered in her daughter’s ear while she stroked Nadia’s hair, to keep her calm. “Katya, I got her. Meet me with the car on the front door.”
“On my way” her sister replied and started the car. She parked near the orphanage, so Irina, Nadia and Katya could escape quickly.

They were at a non-public airport. Nadia yawned. Irina had given her a mild sedative, so her daughter could sleep. Maybe she would wake up when they already were in the plane. The little girl lied in her mother’s arms, which rocked her gently.
“I have a plane waiting to take you both back to Prague.” Katya hesitated and then added carefully: “Are you sure, you don’t want me to come with you?” She spoke in a low tone, because she didn’t want to wake her niece who finally felt asleep in Irina’s arms.
“No. You have already done so much. Your superiors could start get suspicious. We will be fine.” Irina looked down at her little girl and smiled happy. Actually the last time she was that happy was when she last saw Sydney. But remembering Sydney also made her sad. It reminded her on what she left behind.
Katya nodded. Irina knew her sister’s door was always open. That had to be enough for now. “She’s pretty beautiful!” Katya smiled.
Irina looked at her sister and then smiled down at Nadia. “She is…..perfect!”
Their flight was invoked. “I’m going to carry her. I don’t wanna wake her up, by no means” Irina looked down at her little girl. “She needs some rest.”
“Okay. Promise me, to call if you ever need my help.” Katya stood up to hug her sister tightly, but at the same she was careful not to wake Nadia. “Goodbye sweetheart. Your aunt will miss you very much.” Gently she placed a kiss on Nadia’s forehead then she watched them leave.
None of them noticed the man in the shadow who also watched Irina leaving the airport with her sleeping daughter in her arms.
