CHAPTER FOURTEEN
“Mom!” says Sydney.
“Irina, you’re back earlier” Sark says.
Irina enters and closes the door. She addresses Sydney.
“Do you mind if a have a work with Mr.Sark?” she asks her.
Sydney stares at her.
“Sark’s personal stuff. He can shares it with you after if he wants” she says.
Sark looks at her shocked. Sydney looks one more time at her mother then goes away.
“Please, sit down” Irina says to Sark.
“What you discovered?” he asks her.
“I don’t know anything as I told you before about those files. But with my contacts I knew the contents of some files. The ones regarding Sydney during her past two years”
“I don’t understand” he says.
“Someone unknown ordered Sydney to kill you” she answers.
He looks at her in disbelief.
“But…” she continues “…the fact is that she didn’t remember anything” she added.
“What about the others?” he asks her.
“Well, a file, I think the most important belonged in this moment to Lauren Reed, because she was ordered to investigate on the murderer of your father. I think that it’s strictly related to you” she answers.
“I have to find Lauren” he says.
“No, you have to wait right now. Everybody now know about those files and she may kill you if you go to her now” she says looking at him.
“Why do you care for my life now?” he asks her.
“I’m sorry for what happened that night but as you know very well you’re still the best. I don’t want to loose a valuable asset like you” she says.
****
After an hour Sydney returns in the living room to searching Sark. She only founds her mother.
“Where’s Sark?” she asks her.
“I don’t know. I thought he was with you” she replies.
Sydney looks at her then begins to search Sark. She knocks at his door. Nothing comes out. She then slowly opens the door and enters. Sark stares in front of the window looking outside. She approaches to him.
“Sark” she says.
“What do you want?” he asks her coldly.
“What happened? What did she told you?” she asks him.
“It’s none of your business” he replies coldly.
“What’s going on?” she asks again.
He turns to face her.
“Leave me alone” he says.
“I want to help you Sark. You can’t act like this!” she says.
“Like what?” he asks her.
“You only think of yourself, that’s what I think. You’re only an egoist and arrogant assassin” she says angry.
He stares at the floor while she goes out.
****
“Vaughn where are you?”
“I’m coming. What happened?” Vaughn asks.
“We saw Jack Bristow around Sloane’s house in Moscow with another man” says Dixon.
Vaughn glanced at this.
“Who is he?” he asks.
“We don’t know. We don’t see his face” he replies.
****
It’s midnight. Sydney can’t sleep and she goes downstairs to drink something. When she arrives in the kitchen she finds Sark. He is there, with a beer in his hand. He first looks at her then stares at the floor.
She comes closer to him.
“Sark…” she begins “…I’m sorry for before” she added.
“You told me what you think of me” he replies.
“It’s not true” she says.
She leans closer to him as to kiss him but he goes away. She stands there looking at him then tears begins to flow over her face.
“I hope those tears aren’t for me Sydney, because they won’t change anything” he says to her.
She returns to her room without saying anything else. She lays on the bed thinking of what she done to him. She has lost the man she loved, and that was only her fault.
Sark too returns to bed. He passes next to Sydney’s room and rests at the door than he reaches his room.
CHAPTER FIFTEEN
The next morning Sydney wakes up and goes downstairs for breakfast. She finds only her mother sitting at the table.
“Where’s Sark?” she asks worried.
“He’s gone” she replies.
“Where?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t saw him this morning” she answers.
“Yesterday…he seemed in trouble for something that you have probably told him. What was it?” she asks her mother.
“So, he didn’t told you?”
“Don’t begin with your games now. Answer to me” Sydney says angry.
****
Lauren hears a knock on the door. She takes her gun and pointed it at the door. She carefully opens it only to find Sark standing there. She drops her gun.
“May I enter?” he asks her.
She stands aside the door and let him enter. She closes the door and looks at him.
“To what do I owe this visit?” she asks him preoccupied.
“To this” he says and then he kisses her. She kisses him back passionately.
****
“Have you heard about Sydney?” Vaughn asks to Dixon.
“No. For that reason I called you before. I want you to go and find her” he replies.
“But, where do I find her?” he asks.
****
The next day Sark wakes up and looks at Lauren lying on the bed next to him. He stands up and begins to search to documents everywhere in the room. He first searches in her bag, then in the wardrobe. Nothing. It’s impossible, he thinks. She must have this files according to Irina.
“Sark” Lauren’s voice reaches him.
He immediately left everything and goes to her. She was sitting on the bed looking at him.
“Goodmorning love” he says to her.
He leans closer and kisses her. She pulls him back.
“What were you doing?” she asks worried.
“Nothing. I just went to the bathroom” he answers.
Lauren looks at him.
“Can I ask you a question?” he says to her.
“Of course” she replies.
“When you investigated on my father’s murderer you studied his life as well right?”
“Yes” she answers.
“Can I see those documents?”
Lauren looks at him suspiciously. “Only to have a look at” he adds quickly.
“I haven’t them here…” she begins “…they’re in a vault in Milan”
“If you don’t mind I will go there” he replies.
“Not alone”. He looks at her.
“I will come with you” she adds.
MILAN 10 PM
“Why don’t we go there by day?” Sark asks Lauren.
“First, I’m on the CIA hit list; second, you’re a terrorist“ she replies.
They take their guns and begin to get out of the Covenant’s safe house. They are about to reach the exit when they found someone in front of them. They immediately pointed their guns at the two people in front of them. Its dark and they can’t recognize them. Then someone approaches and Sark stares at Vaughn’s face. Behind him Jack Bristow pointed his gun to Sark. Lauren looks worried but then she begins to escape. Vaughn runs behind her but she disappeared. He returns to where Sark and Jack are.
“Mr.Bristow and Agent Vaughn. What are doing here?” Sark asks them.
“You aren’t in any position to question us” Jack replies coldly.
Jack has still his gun pointed at Sark.
“Jack, drop the gun” Vaughn says.
Sark looks at him in disbelief.
“We lost many opportunities to kill this bastard” he yells at him.
“I don’t want him dead” he answers coldly to Jack.
Jack stares at him and then he drops his gun.
“Is this a joke?” Sark asks Vaughn.
“Shut up” says Vaughn. He then takes his cell phone to make a call.
“Dixon” says the other man on the phone.
“I apprehended Sark” he says.
