Chapter 3
The next day, Sydney woke up with an uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach. She felt as though she wouldn't be able to make it through the day. She had just gotten over the fact that she wasn't really working with the CIA, and now she would have to cope with the enemy.
As Sydney walked into work that day, she wanted nothing more than to slit Arvin Sloane's throat. All of the lies that he had told her, had all come down to this. A frequent ringing kept on going off inside of her head, and she felt as though she would have an ulcer. The mood that she was in right now was not a joyous one, and she felt ready to explode if she was talked to privately, one more time, by Arvin Sloane himself.
For the rest of the day, Sydney just sat at her desk. She had told Arvin, (trying to keep her composure as well as she possibly could) that she was indeed, pregneant. He told her that she was able to do easy work for the rest of the time being, and that he was proud for her.
"What?" She thought. " Proud that I'm actually betraying my country, or that I'm handing over dangerous weapons and artifacts to a dangerous man. Or that he wouldn't see me dead, another agent that he could pawn along in his little mind games, to feed off of, until they rot and die."
As the long, boring day of work ended, the only thing that kept Sydney wanting to go home was Danny. He had handled the pregneancy news very well. In fact, he was quite happy. He had always wanted two or three kids with Sydney. Now his wish had come true.
When Sydney got home, she was relieved to see that Danny had, had the courtesy of making a nice, gourmet meal for her. It's steam filling the room with a delicious aroma of a smell.
Sydney droppped her briefcase on the red rug that led from the doorway in, and then quickly hung up her jacket on the coat rack. She ran towards the kitchen, and saw Danny waiting there, with a candle in his hand, staring at her with beaming eyes. A smile widened across his face as he said, "Dinner for two, Madame?"
As Sydney was about to sit down, Danny raced over towards her, and pulled the chair from the table, and motioned with his hands for her to sit down. He then sat down in his chair, and was about to make a toast, when Sydney suddenly said.
"I bore away at work now, Danny. The only thing that keeps me awake and active, wanting to get through the day, is you."
Danny's smile widened even more as he forgot the toast, and just started eating. Staring at Sydney with every bite of his gourmet meal.
In the morning, Sydney did her daily routine of waking up, putting on her running shoes, and was about to run out of the door when Danny stopped her.
"I woke up early this morning, and I was wondering if I could tag along with you?"
Sydney wanted to say no, but couldn't. Staring at her husband, couldn't bring her to it. Instead, she said that she'd rather stay at home for today, instaed of going for her daily run.
Sydney stepped into the shower, shortly followed by Danny. When they were in, Sydney stared at Danny, and then said.
"You won't believe me, but listen."
"I'll alwa.." He was cut off mid-sentence by a very straight faced Sydney.
"Just plaese, listen." Sydney continued on, ignoring what Danny had to say.
"I work for the CIA."
Danny laughed at first, but seeing as how Sydney hadn't moved one facial muscle in the entire, "so called, joke" to him, he stopped. He looked at Sydney, a bit saddened, and then opened up the shower door, and then slammed it.
Sydney had expected him to react like this, she only hoped that he wouldn't do anything stupid about it.
