Rory kept her eyes on the floor as they walked towards the elevator. The entire office seemed to stop and watch every step they took. They’d all heard the screaming and the shouting and now the whispered rumours began. The legendary Sydney Bristow had a daughter, and she was one of their own. First Marshall and Carrie had left, then Vaughn and now Zack and Rory and just by the look on their faces, their co-workers knew that something important had just happened.
The moment the elevator doors closed, Rory surprised Zack by launching herself into his arms. “I’m so sorry I lied to you,” she apologized, her words muffled into his chest. “I just couldn’t stand by and wait, I had to know what happened. I had to find the truth.”
“Shhh, it’s alright,” he whispered in her ear, rubbing her back gently. “I just wish you would have called me, I could have been there with you.” He pushed her away slightly and used his thumbs to wipe the tears from her cheeks. “You shouldn’t have had to do that alone.”
“No,” she shook her head. “I did. Zack, she killed my mother. Irina Derevko, Jack’s wife, my grandmother, she had my mother killed.”
Zack sighed and pulled her close, fighting as she tried to push him away. She gripped the material of his shirt in her fingers as she dug into his shoulders. His one arm wrapped around her waist, holding her body tightly against his. The other stroked her hair as he tucked her head under his chin, and listened her murmured whispers of ‘she killed my mother.’
