Chapter 4
Sydney looked around thinking maybe she was going insane. What she had just heard was impossible. She shook her head but then she heard Dixon in her ear.
“Syd?” she heard him say gently in her ear.
He must have heard it too. Sydney didn’t know what to do. She stood completely frozen on the spot but she knew if she didn’t move soon someone was bound to spot her. She slowly approached because she knew that she now had questions for this man, she definitely had questions!
She approached from behind, he let out a squeal but Sydney shot him with a trank gun before he could make his move. She knew she had to get him out of here before his men found out something had happened. She remembered there was a door that leads to the back of the house. It wasn’t too far away from Dixon so she could easily carry Miroslavich, he wasn’t that big.
Sydney spoke into her com silently and quickly, “Dixon meet me at the extraction point, ETA five minutes.”
Sydney moved as quickly as possible with a man on her back. She was anxious to find out something about what she heard.
She finally made it to the van where Dixon was located. She rushed to the van and was meet by Dixon who helped get Miroslavich into the van. They pulled away quickly and drove to a CIA safe house where an extraction team would be present. Sydney made sure they weren’t being followed; there was no room for mistake in this op.
Forty-five minutes later Sydney and Dixon arrived at the safe house and saw a few agents around the house. A young male approached them.
“Agent Dixon, Agent Bristow I assume you have the prisoner?”
“He’s in the back,” Sydney said, making a slight head gesture to the van.
Sydney watched as they took him away. He was still unconscious and probably would be until they arrived in Los Angeles. She had so many questions to ask this man, that she couldn’t even begin to explain. She felt someone staring at her. She turned to the side to see Dixon looking at her. He knew what was wrong, he heard it too. Sydney just shook her head, letting him no she didn’t want to talk about it, not now. She slowly turned away and got into a helicopter that would take her back to L.A. She watched the land slowly disappear as she was engulfed in air. She could see the clouds, which looked like big balls of cotton, in the distance. She turned away from the pilot and silently began to cry. She hated herself for doing that. She hadn’t cried in ages. She had tried to be strong, she tried to face the world but now as the world below was disappearing and the sky was becoming clearer only one thing entered Sydney’s mind; is my guardian angel watching me?

Kendall gave Sydney a slight smile when she walked into the rotunda early the next morning, one which she did not return. She walked up to him and immediately began a conversation about Miroslavich.
“Where is he?” she asked.
“Where is who?”
“Miroslavich, where is he?” she asked impatiently.
“He’s being held in custody for now, why?”
“I need to see him, right now!”
“I’m afraid that’s impossible, Agent Bristow.”
“Well I’m afraid, Director Kendall that we are going to have to make it possible. I need to talk with him.”
“What is so urgent?”
“I don’t have time to go in details. I need to speak with him and your going to make that possible.”
He looked at her, with those blue eyes and she looked back. It was blue against brown and we all know who won.
“I’ll have a meeting arranged as soon as possible.”
Sydney didn’t even offer her thanks. She merely turned around and left. Sydney waited impatiently for Kendall to tell her that she could see the prisoner. Sydney began to fidget, she could feel herself begin to fell anxious. She tapped her foot on the floor, and twiddled her thumbs. Finally Sydney stood up and walked across the rotunda to Kendall, who was talking to her father.
“Kendall, I told you I need to speak with Miroslavich!”
“I’m aware of that, Miss Bristow.”
She looked at him as if he was insane. “Well then let me see him!”
“You will, in due time,” he replied sternly.
Sydney walked up to Kendall, looked him in the eye, with the most threatening stare she could possible do and said, “I need to see him now!” She stepped away thinking how much she was beginning to become like her father.
“I need to know what is so important.”
Sydney looked at him, knowing that he wasn’t going to let her see him if she didn’t tell. Sydney didn’t know what to do. She was too scared. What she had heard was impossible and probably sounded insane.
“Sydney, just tell him,” her father told her, calmly.
Sydney looked form Kendall to her father. What they were asking her to do was going to be hard, harder than she imagined. “I heard something when I was there,” she said quietly, almost in a whisper.
“What did you hear?” Kendall said, equally calm.
“I, I, think I heard,” she began.
“What did you hear?” Kendall asked, beginning to become impatient.
“I think I heard Vaughn,” Sydney yelled.
Everyone in the office turned to look at her. She ran out of the office. She could hear Dixon yelling after her but she kept running. That was the only thing that would calm her. Everyone probably thought she was insane. She took the stairs down, jumping them two at a time and out the doors. She felt the sun rays on her. The warm feeling the sun was casting upon her made her feel sick. Sydney stopped and looked up towards the sky. Everything was bright and sunny but what she saw was dark and dreary.
