Chapter One: Mommy's Here
Taipei, Taiwan- Warehouse/Club
"Mom?" Sydney choked out.
"Oh, Sydney, darling, how beautiful you've grown! Oh, dear, you're tied to this chair! Who did this, Sweetie?," asked Irina worriedly.
"Maybe the guy who knocked me out," Sydney shrugged.
"Somebody knocked you out? Who? And is that dried blood on your cheek?" Irina said worriedly, hovering over her daughter.
"An Asian guy. And he hit me on the chin when I..." Sydney trailed off, then burst into tears suddenly.
"Oh, sweetie, let it all out! Now, I'm going to get you out of this rope, okay? Then you're gonna tell your mom what's wrong, got it?" Irina questioned, and began untying the ropes binding her daughter.
"Okay," Syd sniffled.
Irina had untied all the ropes and she was shocked by what she saw. Here was her daughter, who she hadn't seen for over 20 years, wearing a few scraps of leather and mesh.
"Sydney, sweetie, did you dye your hair blue?" asked Irina patiently.
"No," Sydney replied meekly.
"What are you wearing? I can't believe Jack let you wear that! I mean, I've never seen that much skin, and I was a lingerie model for Victoria's Secret when I was your age!" Irina shouted.
Sydney giggled. Then the giggle became a full-blown snort. The snort became a guffaw. Pretty soon, Syd was rolling on the floor, but then Syd seemed to realize something and stopped.
"Ewwww! I did not need that visual, Mom! That's just wrong!" Syd said in playful disgust.
"How about you come with me, sweetie. We'll get you all cleaned up, okay?" Irina said kindly.
Syd got up off the floor and followed her mother to her room. Her mother cleaned the wound on her chin, remarking that this guard would meet with "Suit and Glasses" and lose his job. Then Irina let Syd pick out her own outfit. Syd picked out a pair of jeans, a black halter-top, and a pair of white tennis shoes. She put them on and her mother grabbed her clothes and shoved them in a bag with her wig.
"Now will you tell me what's wrong?" Irina asked sweetly.
Syd opened her mouth and was about to speak when a figure swung down from the air vents.
The familiar figure landed gracefully. It then proceeded in yelling, "SYDNEY!!!!!!"
TO BE CONTINUED...
Hey, did ya'll like that? Who is the mysterious figure? Why was Sydney crying? What will Sydney do after she leaves her mom? What happened to Vaughn? Did Dixon report Sydney? Did Emily Die? What will happen to Will? And what is Jack's role in all this? Find out next time (or the time after that) on Kate Jones and the Last Rambaldi Device!
