Chapter One In some house in some foreign country:

"Boy scout this is Mountaineer. I'm in."
"Copy that Mountaineer. The room should be on the third floor."
Sydney nodded and headed up the flights of stairs. She peered around corners, expecting to see guards peering back at her. She saw nothing, not one thing.
"Vaughn I'm on the third floor."
"Head straight." Sydney walked forward
"The door on your left" came Vaughn's voice on the com after she had walked about one hundred meters.
Sydney pushed on the door hoping it would open. It didn't. "Vaughn the door is locked." She stated simply.
"Wait a minute Syd... Okay you're good"
She pushed the door open and saw the computer. She rushed forward and swiftly placed the bug. All seemed good until a red light went off. "Shit." Hissed Sydney. She ran out of the room and fired her gun at the herd of guards racing down the hallway.
She ran for the stairs praying that she wouldn't be hit. When she reached the stairs she turned and fired off a round of shots at her attackers.
Sydney ran down the stairs hearing the men coming after her.

She sprinted down the dark corridor, bullets screaming after her. She fired and ran down the entrance hall to the black door where Vaughn and Weiss were waiting just around the corner for her. She had just burst out the door, when a pair of hands grabbed her, one covering her mouth and the other dragging her a long as the person ran down the alley way.
Sydney struggled against her captors grip. She knew that whoever it was, wasn't with the men chasing her. They were running away from them. The man held firm and Sydney finally gave up and let the man drag her along.
When they were a safe distance away the person stopped and spoke for the first time. "Sorry for that Agent Bristow, but I saw no other way." He cautiously removed his hand.
Sydney immediately recognized the British accent. "Damn it Sark" she spat "What the hell do you want with me?"
"Now, now Miss Bristow I have no desire to kidnap you." Sydney opened her mouth to interrupt, "Wait till I'm finished alright? Look, I have a proposition for you; I want to be an agent for the CIA."
Sydney scoffed, "In your dreams Sark, In. Your. Dreams."
Sark muttered to himself. "I bet you don't want to know what goes on in my dreams." He spoke to Sydney
"Ah but you see, I have all the information you would need to take down the Covenant. You can't possibly resist an offer like that."
He's right I can't. "Fine, I'll take you to headquarters but I can't make any promises."
"Agreed. Lead the way Miss Bristow."
Sydney grabbed Sark's arm, which sent a shiver down his spine. He cleared his throat hoping she didn't notice.

When she reached the van she pulled open the doors and shoved Sark in.
He wasn't surprised when the second he entered Agents Vaughn and Weiss locked their guns on him, their fingers tightening on the triggers.
"Don't shoot him."
The two agents looked over at Sydney as she climbed into the van.
"Was that really necessary Agent Bristow shoving me in like that?"
Sydney glanced over at him smirking, "Yes Sark it was."
Vaughn stared at her incredulously "Sydney what are you doing? 'Don't shoot him'?! He's a terrorist, the enemy."
"Yes Vaughn I know he's a terrorist..."
"Excuse me Agent Bristow weren't you listening when I..."

"Shut up." Barked Vaughn
"As I was saying, Sark wants to join the CIA; he wants to help us take down the Covenant. I told him we'd take him to headquarters and figure it out from there" she said the last parts hastily incase either of them tried to interrupt her.
Weiss choked down a laugh.
"Syd he'll turn on us the first time he gets a chance, we should shoot him now and get it over with, and Dixon will never let him join us!"
"Excuse me, I am standing right here."
Vaughn and Weiss glared at him "Shut Up!"
Sark backed down looking at Sydney "Well aren't they friendly."
Sydney glared at him. "Oh, right 'shut up'."
"Fine Syd, we'll take him to headquarters but only for you."
Sydney smiled at him "Thanks Vaughn."
Weiss whispered into Vaughn's ear "Although Dixon will probably just say to kill him."
