Chapter 4
Sydney and Vaughn hurried through SD-6. Sydney spotted CIA agents with Marshall and Dixon. Sydney jogged over to them, giving them each a hug.
"Don’t worry, everything is going to be ok," Sydney said soothingly to them.
Dixon glared at her. "Don’t speak to me."
Marshall gave her a look of sympathy. "Don’t worry about him. We’ll both be ok in time." Marshall kissed her cheek. She blushed and waved as an agent led him away.
"Should I be jealous?" Vaughn asked, playfully punching her shoulder.
Sydney smiled, "No way."

"I…I love you." Irina said. She clutched her arm.
"You what?" Jack asked, stunned.
Irina smiled through her pain. "I love you." Irina finally cracked. A rush of tears flowed down her cheeks.
Jack frantically pulled out his cell phone, and dialed 911. "I need and ambulance." He gave directions and hung up.
He placed his hand under her head to support her. Jack grasped her hand, and felt a single tear trickle down his cheek.
"Jack, come here," Irina whispered. Jack pulled his head close to her. Irina placed her hand on his cheek and kissed him.
