Chapter 4: And The Surprises Just Keeps On Coming...
All four of them were staring at it in silence, the phone ringing right when Jack was about to find out what happened was just too creepy. After 4 rings Jack finally got tired of the noise and picked it up.
“Hello?”
“Hello?” a male voice came over the phone. “Can… I… Talk to um… Stacey please?”
“Who is this?” Jack said harshly which made Sydney look up at him.
“This is Tim.”
“Who?”
“Um… you know what, never mind. I’ll call back some other time.”
“Some other time would be good.” Jack barked through the phone then slammed the phone down. Every one that was in the room jumped a little and Sydney’s sobs died down a little.
“Who was that.” she managed to ask.
“Some Tim?” Sydney groaned.
“What is it? Tim?” Vaughn asked.
“Tim you know…remember the guy…” Sydney started at him for a second.
“Oh, that Tim.”
“What?” Jack asked.
“Tim WAS her boyfriend.” Sydney answered for both of them.
“And…”
“And he cheated on her so she dumped him.” While they were talking about Stacey and her boy issues Irina opened the crumpled note.
“Sydney, have you ever looked up the meaning of Anastasia?” she asked her with a concerned voice. Sydney frowned.
“Ya, it means resurrection.” Irina stared at her.
“What? Her name have really strong meaning behind it. Anastasia means resurrection, Isis was the supreme goddess of the moon, and Michelle means who is like god. Exactly how it’s suppose to be , Russian, Egyptian and French.”
“Sydney, there’s another meaning to Anastasia.” Sydney frowned through her red and puff eyes.
“Anastasia also means She who will rise again.” Sydney let out a bitter laugh.
“SO WHY DID YOU TELL ME TO NAME HER THAT?!” she burst out.
“Because I’ve always wanted to named a baby that. And since I named you Sydney, I thought it would be great if my own grand daughter had that name.”
“SYDNEY! SNAP OUT OF IT! I didn’t name her Anastasia so she can get KIDNAPPED! It was a powerful and beautiful name!” Sydney fell back into Vaughn’s arms.
“I’m going to call head quarters.” Jack walked into the yard while reaching for his cell phone in his pocket. The kitchen was quiet for the whole five minutes that Jack was gone.
“Lets go. There’s already people waiting for the story. They just got a new recruit in the field of tracking, so far got a nice rep.”
“You think you can manage it?” Vaughn asked softly. Sydney slowly nodded. He lightly kissed her on the forehead. As soon as the four of them walked into operations a guy rushed up to them.
“What happened?”
“Some one kidnapped my GRAND DAUGHTER?!” Jack boomed. The agent cringed.
“Now where’s that specialist that just got transferred to here?”
“Right this way Mr. Bristow.” They walked into a smaller room where there were a few cubicles. A young woman walked up to them.
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?” five voices said at the same time…
