Destiny.

That's just wrong! You killed a pregnant Nadia and now Syd and Vaughn are in serious trouble! Not good! Not good at all! We need more, you can't leave us like that! Update soon!
 
chapter fourteen

Sydney and Micheal both froze their eyes glued to Olivia as she fully entered the office.
Sydney's eyes fell on the gun in her hand and she stiffened.
This really wasnt good. . .
'How could we get caught like this?' Sydney thought frantically.
Olivia smiled creully at them.
"So. . .Im sure you must be wondering how i knew you two were in here. . .
Its really quite simple. . .
We have surveillance cameras installed in this office. . .As im sure you must know already. . " she said as she glanced at the computer monitor where the video feed of that fateful day Nadia died at this evil womans hands, played.
Olivia turned to Sydney and smiled at her.
"So tell me. . .How does it feel betraying your very own country?
Doublecrossing your own colleages. . "
Sydney drew in a sharp breath and glared at her.
"Are you not without fault. . Ms Bristow?" Olivia spoke smoothly.
Sydney shook her head vehemently.
"Im not the one who killed an innocent woman simply because i dont appreciate her culture and background." Sydney spoke harshly.
Olivia smiled slowly.
"Well. . I must say. . .You have an answer for everyword? Dont you?" she levelled her gun at Micheal's chest.
Sydney's eyes widened in fear.
"Dont. Dont you dare. . " she began. . .
Olivia just laughed. .
And pulled trigger. . .
Sydney screamed as she leapt out to push Micheal out of the way. . .
When she realised that the gun that had just been fired wasnt Olivia's. . .
Sydney and Micheal both looked up stunned as Lauren Reed entered the office a cool smile on her lips.
She lifted her gun. . .
And aimed at her mother.
"Goodbye mother dearest." she said with brittle cheer as she shot her mother.
Sydney's eyes widened in disbelief as Olivia fell to the floor and Lauren fired again, this time hitting Olivia in the chest. . .
There was a moment of stunned silence then, before anyone could speak
"Lauren. . .You just killed your mother?!" Sydney cried out in a mixture of horror and relief that Micheal was alright.
Lauren shook her head as she nudged Olivia with her shoe, as if to confirm that the woman was dead.
Lauren looked up at her and Sydney felt a strange connection with her. .
That desolate look in Lauren's eyes. .
Mirrored the feelings she had so often experienced.
"Olivia wasnt my mother. . .Daddy had an affair. . .I was the product of that." Lauren's voice was calm. .Almost as if she had already fought her inner demons.
And she had been the victor in the end.
Micheal shook his head in confusion.
"All theses years. . .Did you know?" he murmured.
Lauren's face twisted in anger.
"I hated her. . .Even as a child in my heart i knew. . She couldnt be my real mother. . ." her voice trailed off as her eyes fell on the computer monitor.
A look of pain flashed in her eyes.
She looked at Sydney.
"That bitch killed Nadia didnt she?" she asked Sydney quietly.
Sydney nodded.
"I liked Nadia. . She made Thomas very happy. . " Lauren sighed and Sydney swallowed hard.
There was a brief moment of silence then as they were all lost in thoughts of poor Nadia. . .And the unfortunate fate she had met.

Suddenly Lauren Cellular beeped and frowning she reached for it.
She took it out of her pocket and quickly answered.
"Hey baby whats up?" she asked as she turned away from Micheal and Sydney.
Sydney raised her brows and Micheal laughed.
"It has to be Sark. . .Thats the only guy she would call 'baby'" he smirked.
Lauren returned a second later her face a mask of worry.
"The CIA are onto you two. . .Their enroute here." She said worriedly.
Sydney's eyes widened.
"We have to get out of here. . .But how?" she murmured.
Micheal gestured to a wooden panel beside the old fireplace.
"This place was built in the ancient times. . .
Because of that there are secret tunnels running under that will probably lead you out there somewhere. . Probably a few blocks away. . "
they both leaned down and examined the wood there, prodding it with their fingers, until finally the panel slid back, revealing a small black hole.
"Alas a tunnel." Sydney remarked.
"Shouldnt you guys have weapons though?" Lauren asked as she stared at Sydney.
Micheal nodded reluctantly.
"Yeah. . .We should."
Lauren nodded.
"I have a secret cache in a room upstair. . " she looked at Sydney.
"I know you guys arent gonna like this idea but Sydney why dont you come with me while Micheal goes ahead and begins to navigate the tunnel?" Lauren suggested.
Sydney sighed heavily.
Of course she didnt like it. . .
But she had to admit Lauren had a point.
There was no point in both of them going to collect weapons. . .

"Youre right. . ." Sydney eventually agreed.
She made to walk away but Micheal quickly grabbed her arm.
"Be careful. . Sweetheart." he said and then kissed her gently.
Lauren made gagging noises in the background as Sydney wrapped her arms around Micheal.
"You guys are a hoot." she muttered as Sydney eventually reluctantly stepped back.
"I'll see you in a few minutes?" she whispered her gaze focused on Micheal's intense gaze.
He nodded.
"Yeah. . .I'll be waiting. . "
with that Sydney turned around and walked with Lauren to the room upstairs.
"Nice cache." Sydney remarked as Lauren sifted through the various types of guns and even a few swiss army knives.
Lauren grinned.
"Yeah. Having Olivia Reed as a stepmother has taught me quite alot. . "
Sydney grabbed the hand grenade Lauren tossed her way.
They quickly made their way back up the steps to the same office.
"Good luck and break a leg." Lauren said cheerfully.
Sydney grimaced.
"well im going to need the luck. . ." she smiled.
Just as Sydney entered the tunnel she heard a cry from behind her.
The CIA had just arrived. . .


Sydney ran down the long darkened corridor, her heart pounding.
She could hear him behind her. . .
No way was she going to let him catch up with her. .
Just ten metres ahead would be Micheal. . .
The man she loved and nothing was going to stop her from being with him.
"Sydney!" Jack called out from behind her.
Almost against her will, Sydney paused.
Slowly she turned around and faced her father.
He was holding a gun gripped tightly in his palm and his eyes were full of pain.
"So is this what it has come to. . Huh dad?" she asked bitterly.
Jack's eyes narrowed.
"That is your own fault Sydney. . ." then his expression softened.
"Its not too late Sydney. . .Just come with me and i will help you. . .And this whole nightmare will be over. . " Jack pleaded with her.
Sydney shook her head stubbornly.
"No dad. . .You dont understand. I cant leave him. . .I love him. ." her voice broke and Jack drew in a sharp breath.
"You cant mean that Sydney." he said refusing to accept her answer.
Sydney shook her head again Sadly.
"This is it dad. I've made my decision. Im leaving." she began to walk away.
Jack, his fingers trembling, lifted up his tranq gun.
He couldnt let her go. . .
please review
 
I'm trying to wrap my mind around the fact that Lauren helped them.

Also, I hope that Sydney can shut the tunnel door or that Michael finds away to shut the tunnel door before Jack shoots her with the tranq gun.

Thanks for the PM.
