Chapter one
Vaughn POV
Taipei:
I watched Sydney run to me flailing her arms at me begging me to
begin to run but I just stood there in my own dumbfounded lull. Finally Syd
got to me and pushed me out of my dream state and I finally turned around
and began to run. I ran my fastest but that just wasn't enough to keep up
with Sydney. I watched her round a corner and I ran as fast as I could go 'Damn
Mr. Balls of Steel, why can't you run a simple sprint like you did in Basic
Training, what kind of CIA agent are you' I told myself as I rounded the
corner and saw a large metal door shutting before us. Syd ran faster than
before, as if that were possible, and made it through just as it was getting
closer to shutting. I realized that there was no way for me to get there even
though I saw her small fragile fingers trying to pry the door open long
enough for me to get through, but the door shut with a loud click and I knew
that was it.
When I finally got to the door and looked through the small glass
window to see the saddest thing that my eyes have seen, Sydney just
standing there with a look of terror on her face.
I have never seen her look like that before and that was going to be
the last way I ever saw her. I swam to the top to get some more oxygen and
when I returned to try and ward her off she was banging the window with
something. a fire extinguisher. I waved my hands and for her to leave that
I would somehow find a way out, but my eyes betrayed me she saw every
amount of terror that was mirrored in her eyes. My lungs were burning for
more air and I swam up to the top where there was barely anymore space
left with oxygen when I swam back down Sydney was unconscious and a
guard was dragging her off down the hall.
I decided that I would see her again or I would die trying so I swam
up to the top to get some more air and figure a way out of this mess. When I
swam up to the top the most inconceivable thing had happened the water
level was dropping. As if they had pulled this plug at the bottom and all the
water was going down a drain. I pictured myself going down in a water
tornado down the drain and ending up in a river somewhere so I quickly found
some kind of door handle to hold on to while the remaining water was sucked
out from around me.
Then the metal door that had just shut a few minutes ago began to
open again and I took cover behind a corner trying to see who was waiting
for me on the other side.
