Author: Ash (AshletX512@aol.com)

Summary: Charlie reflects on his little chat with Syd at the casino.

Spoilers: Takes place during "The Coup," but not really a spoiler.

A/N: This is really short, but it just came to me while watching.

"…I swear I'll kill you."

Her words continue to reverberate in my head. Why, at that single moment, did I actually believe her?

Sure, anyone could said it, but whether it was her cold tone of voice or the strange vibes I was getting from her pressing stare, but I strongly doubt I would be able to take her on.

I nodded and watched her saunter away, first slowly then quickening. She's too thin, too delicate to fight off anyone almost twice her build.

But yet I still believe her.

I suddenly don't want to risk it. I'll tell Francie we have to wait.

But I'll never admit why.

Never admit how little Sydney made me feel.

Scared.
