Melanie's Lullaby Ch 1 'Hear Us...hear Us'
Disclaimer: Yeah, yeah, nothing belongs to me...except Melanie and maybe some
other characters, but I don't know yet.
Sydney sat on her bed, tears streaming down her face as she stared at the picture she was holding in her shaky hands. Her daughter Melanie, who was 4 at the time, was sitting on a park bench in between her parents, eating an ice cream cone. It was the last picture of Melanie before she had been kidnapped. Sydney remembered staying up all night and day searching for Melanie, but had reluctantly given up after a year. Dixon, Jack, even Melanie's father Vaughn had told her it was useless. So Sydney had quit the CIA, this time for good and all she ever did was lay around in Melanie's room, staring at pictures of the whole family together, watch home movies, or simply cry until there weren't any tears left.
But no one objected to Sydney's resignation, which Sydney had to give them. She couldn't stand being around people who had given up so easily on her daughter and who had even tried convincing her to do the same. Well they did, Sydney thought angrily. She started to hum the lullaby she would sing to Melanie as she went to sleep and more tears made their way to the surface.
Hear us...hear us
Though you're far away
Here's a song that I sang
Beyond the rainbow's land
Hear us...Hear us
Through blue skies or gray
And it's from our hearts
That's where the music starts
Sydney collapsed on the sofa and fell asleep, dreaming, of course, about Melanie. She didn't wake up until she heard the doorbell ringing nonstop and Vaughn's voice.
"Sydney, it's me! C'mon, open up its urgent!" Vaughn yelled. She got and ran to the door of the house. "Vaughn, what is it?" she asked. "We've apprehended Sark. He says he's got vital information for us." He replied. "What does this have to do with me? I quit last year, remember?" she said, desperately trying to stay calm.
"Yes, but this concerns you...and me. He mentioned the name 'Melanie.'" He said, although Sydney had a feeling he wasn't supposed to tell her. "Does he know where she is?" Sydney asked hopefully.
"I don't know. Dixon said to get you and he'll fill us in at the debriefing. We need to go." Vaughn said impatiently. Sydney grabbed her jacket, put it on over her pajama top, and followed her ex-husband to his car.
A/N: Please r/r it's my first story. I'll have the 2nd chapter up soon, but my sister is hogging the computer. Ok, I made a deal her but that doesn't mean I'm ok w/it...
