The Widows Daughter

Part sixty-three

(Chloe's POV)

I followed Sam down to where we temporarily held bad guys.

Laying on a bed attached at an I.V., was the woman who attacked me. She was coved in soot and ash, and her clothes were charred like mine had been.

"What was so urgent that I had to be pulled from my warm bed?" I asked annoyed.

"Just wait." Steve stood with his arms crossed.

"Sie werden versuchen, dich zum Reden zu bringen. Erzähl ihnen aber nichts." A man spoke.

I froze recognizing the voice immediately.

Why was he still here?

I walked forward to see Raymond Zerks sitting in his own cell.

"Que fait-il ici?!" I asked mom angrily in French.

"We though it would be best to keep him close." She answered in English. Obviously still a little miffed about earlier but trying to stay civil.

"Do you know what he did to me?!" I yelled in English.

"Hello mon animal de compagnie." I shivered at his voice.

"He's talking to her. We thought you might want to be down here. You can translate." Steve explained.

"I don't want anything to do with him!" I fumed. "Besides. Have mom translate for you."

I could understand where they were coming from, but didn't want anything to do with it. And by "it", I mean him. And by "him", I mean–you get the idea.

"Chloe I get that your upset, but someone keeps sending people. We need to know who and why." Mom tried to sooth me, but I didn't work.

"I know that. But quite frankly I don't ca-"

"Sie ist eine Idiotin." I was cut off by the woman speaking.

"Weiß sie wirklich nicht, wer sie will? Es ist offensichtlich." She continued and I stared at her.

"What's she saying?" Sam asked.

"She's an idiot. Does she really not know who wants her? It's obvious." I translated.

"How wants her?" Mom asked.

"Ihre Familie."

"Her family..." I echoed. "Err...my family." I corrected myself after a second.

"We are her family." Steve argued, but the woman smirked and shook her head.

"Hydra ist ihre Familie. Und sie werden sie haben."

"Hydra is her family. And they will have her." I murmured. I could feel the fear and anger rise in my chest.

"I'm with my family. Hydra is nothing more then an outdated, anti-freedom, fascist, totalitarian, idiotic occult, who's only goal is to do whatever the heck it wants. Not caring, who or what it destroys. And personally I hope you all burn." I ranted blowing off some steam.

The woman yanked on her handcuffed hand up trying to grab me. She was furious and I could tell. I smirked watching her struggle.

"They will come for you until they get you petite fille." Zerks chided.

"Then they will fail misérablement, like you and your girlfriend, or they'll end up dead." I hissed at him.

"Now. If there's nothing more?" I asked. Mom shook her head.
