Chapter 4
“So, what's your answer?” She was startled awake by the sounds of the voice she hated so much.
“No. I'm not going to help you.” Sydney said defiantly. She meant them, she would not help a villain, no matter what.
“Well then, I guess we'll just have to convince you.” He said and signaled to the camera nestled up in the corner of the room. The door opened with a slight hiss of escaping air and some one was dragged in, Sydney felt her jaw drop in shock and horror. His head lolled back as he was roughly handcuffed to a chair. Cole slammed a fist into the side of his head. He groaned and slowly let his head flop down to the front and he struggled to hold it up properly.
“Wake up.” Cole grabbed Vaughn's shirt and slammed his body back into the chair, hard, and Vaughn's eyes opened, and he blinked a couple of times to clear the glazed look from them, he gave a small groan when the wave of pain hit him like a sledgehammer.
“Sy-Syd-?” He questioned.
“Fine, I'll do it, now let us go, I want to walk out of here, or no deal.”
“How do I know you won't go to the CIA?” He questioned.
“I don't even remember their number, it's been almost a year.”
“Of course you do, but you try to forget, is that it?” Cole challenged.
“Leave her alone and tell me what the frackin hell is going on.” Vaughn growled from behind him. “And what the hell are you doing out from jail.”
“Glad you asked. I'll explain, but first, I need to know you are going to pledge your allegiance to me and not to the CIA.”
“I don't give a damn.” Vaughn said, not bothering being nice.
“Rules too. Rule number uno, respect me. Rule number 2, answer the cell phones I'm giving you at any time, rule three no going to anybody but me, and rule four, don't diss me, mister cool guy.”
Sydney and Vaughn didn't risk looking at each other because they were afraid they were going to burst out laughing at rule 4.
“Got it?” He snapped.
“Yeah.” They monologued together, still looking down at their feet, afraid to trust themselves.
“You are going to pledge to me by telling me what happened to Lauren Reed and Julian Sark.”
