Chapter 2 – Blast from the Past
Sydney’s heart skipped, how could this be true. When she had last seen him, she never believed he could have survived. He was near death, and the outlook wasn’t good. Since that day, her only regret was that she had not stayed to finish him off. A sickening feeling was growing in her, why hadn’t she stayed there. If only……
And now, the repercussions of failing in her mission were coming back to haunt her. She returned her eyes to the letter, and swallowed hard before commencing to read it.
“My Dear,
It has been a while has it not. I guarantee that you thought my face would not return but unfortunately your wishes do not seem to be taken into consideration. You will pay for the pain you left me with after our last encounter, but regrettably for you, the pain has since ceased and I am ready to utilise my strength in revenge. And believe me Sydney, the revenge will be sweet.
I hope I have shocked you with this note, at least that’s what the desired effect was. For now I would like to lay down a few ground rules which I expect to be followed. Do not even think about contacting your organisation, and by this I include various members of you family, and those you hold most dear. I realize exactly who means the most to you even if you haven’t realised this yourself yet!
Without full co-operation, you will not be the only one to feel the full brunt of my vengeance, and I know a few names which if harmed may provoke a reaction in your temperament! For now, these people will be left alone, but trust me, this will not remain the case for long if you disobey me!
In the next few days I will make contact, and I anticipate this moment to be a blast for you in more ways than one!”

Sydney was livid, how dare he contact her in this way, laying down rules and expecting her to follow them. She knew his devious ways too well and he knew her own. Following codes of behaviour wasn’t her style, she did things her way and this letter wouldn’t change that. Reading it again, she struggled to control her emotions. If he in anyway harmed her family or friends, the pain from last time would be erased and replaced with such that he would not be able to survive, and her revenge really would be sweet!
Suddenly, Syd’s senses were heightened. She had been so preoccupied with her feelings, that she had failed to notice the extra note written on the back of the letter. With closer observation, she saw that it read,
“Enjoy breakfast, my dear, I’m assured it will be your last!”
Sydney turned, spy mode initiated. She stared at the trolley that the porter had delivered. On the top was a large platter covered by a silver dome.
Sydney glanced back at the letter, scanned it with her eyes and all of a sudden it dawned on her what the letter meant.
She ran over to the trolley and lifted up the dome. Underneath was a large Victoria sponge decorated in icing. Yet again, that same symbol reared its ugly face. On the top of the cake in red icing was the Rambaldi sign. It only took Syd a couple of moments to understand that she would not be sampling breakfast this morning. She grabbed what she could, opened the hotel door and ran.
