Chapter 10
Back in Los Angeles Vaughn and Syd are playing Hockey. It's a way for them to distance themselves from what has happened within the last few days. But they know they have to talk about it, about what had happened in Paris, so Sydney decides to break the ice.
Sydney: "I know we don't want to think about it. We've been through so many things and yet we've survived, but the prophecy, or the coming whatever i've got a bad feeling".
Vaughn: "I thought you didn't believe the 'prophecy'?"
Sydney: "I don't......I mean, oh I don't know. At first my first impression when I was told about page 47, was that it was a mistake, and that there was no way it was possible. I was the one who the CIA thought the page was about, and then my mother, I knew she was alive. I guess, what has happened over the past month or so, it's made me think. Remember, the church, the people who went on fire there's no way that's right. I'm starting to think, well it could be true".
Vaughn:"You really think that the prophecy, the coming, whatever you want to call it, is true?"
Sydney: "All I know is that things have happened this past year, and it alls goes back to Rambaldi. We know his devices work, while I was at SD-6 you saw the things I recovered, the clock, the sun that pointed to an exact place at an exact time. Whoever he was he made inventions hundreds of years of ago, and they work this day, don't you think that's weird? Now Sloane, my mother and Sark are using this work and have created a bomb, that sets people alight from the inside and water that you when someone comes into contact with, kills within days".
Vaughn looks up at her taking into account what she says, and trying to come to his own conclusion.
Sydney: "Both my mother and Sloane where obsessed with his work. I think the red ball and the clock, there just the beginning and something is coming, and it involves my mother and we won't be able to stop it"!
More soon, if I'm dragging it out for too long just tell!
