Next part!
There were so many questions running through Sydneys mind, that it took all she had just to sort through them.
*Ok, Syd you can do this, just think about Vaughn. God! I should never have trusted her! If I would have never gone and spoken with her, then she would have never known about me and Vaughn, oh god! What am I going to do!*
Just as Sydney was about to lose herself in thought again she was interrupted by Sark, who delivered the words that Sydney was partly dreading, but also deep inside, she longed to hear.
“You know Sydney, you mother really loves you.” Sark almost grimaced as he said the words, but before he could counter with an explanation Jack interrupted.
“There will be no more talk about Derevko unless it is absolutely necessary! Do you understand Mr. Sark?” As Jack said the words, he looked almost nervous, his eyes darted from Sydney to Sark as if to dare either one of them to counter his outburst. Sark looked at Jack with a knowing gleam in his eyes, he knew.
*I should have known* thought Jack, *I should have known that I was just a pawn, I should never have trusted her. It doesn’t matter now though, because when I get my hands on her….*
Sydney squeezed her fathers arm, deep inside, she also knew. “Sorry to interrupt, but may I have the pleasure of continuing?” Sark said, rolling his eyes at the scene between Jack and Sydney.
“Tell us Sark, tell us everything.” Sydney was growing impatient she had only known Vaughn was missing for a couple of hours, but it seemed like days, she wanted to find him, and she wanted to find him now.
“As I was saying, Irena has Vaughn. Mind you, he’s safe for now, but unless Sydney agrees to come with me and talk with her mother (Sark emphasized the word mother with obvious delight in his voice) than things might turn out differently.”
‘Why does…. That woman, want to talk with me, and why the hell has she brought Vaughn into it?” Sydney
was ready for strait answers that she knew she was not going to receive.
“Sydney, you mother knows you, and like I explained before, she knows what it will take to have a little…..chat about your…..relationship with you.”
“Now,” Sydney stated forcing the words out of her throat, ”I am ready to go now”.
