CHAPTER 54 – LONG TIME, NO SEE
"Sydney! Sydney! We're home!"
Upon hearing that, Sydney closed the computer, stood up, and yelled back that she was coming.
Downstairs, the duo was busy unpacking the stuff they bought. It's been one month and no one would ever have dreamed of this situation--Sark was good with children. Really good, even.
Going downstairs, Sydney was thinking how different Sark was around Andrea. He was soft, gentle, caring, and smiling a lot. He was nice to her too. He kept the girls laughing, talking, and cheerful. Sydney was actually happy when she was around him during the day.
Nights were different. They reminded her of what Sark is really like. He was the agent that Sydney knew all along, talking on his phone, checking their shared computer, doing his stuff. He never asked for any guns or data; it was like he was on a vacation-and he was enjoying it.
Opening the door, Sydney smiled at the sight in front of her.
"Did you buy anything for me?"
"Of course we did! Dad, show her what you bought!"
Sydney froze at those words, but Sark acted like it was normal. As if Andrea had been calling him dad for years. He hoisted one big box into the air. Walking towards Sydney, he spoke.
"You may not like it, but we can't change it. It was the last one and on sale-"
"She'll like it!"
Sydney looked at him shocked. Her eyes screaming about what had he done to Andrea, but Sark was insanely normal, shoving the box to her. In the end, Sydney accepted it. When she opened the box, she found a huge white teddy bear the size of a big balloon. Very big.
"You like it? I knew you'd like it! Look at her face!"
Sydney cracked a smile and spoke.
"Yes dear, I like it very much. Thank you." Then she hugged Andrea. Andrea then asked if she could take the bear - 'His name is Silky!' – to Sydney's room.
Once she was left, Sydney turned angrily to Sark. She wanted to scream, hurt him-
"How did you make h-" but her suddenly her lips were covered with his. Sydney closed her eyes, and despite struggling with him, she kissed him back. Sark's kisses were always soft and warm. He was slowly leaning her back against the wall. Sydney sighed, then heard him speak softly.
"I didn't make her do anything, she chose to call me 'Dad'. We've adopted her Sydney, and I believe that 'mom' is near too. You are far too nice to not be called like that."
He leanded towards her again for another kiss whenshe spoke.
"You better not call me that-" laughing, he kissed her, and it was all good again.
----------
Andrea placed Silky in the middle of the bed with her little hands. Smiling to herself, she made him stay steady with pillows, then stepped aside to look her handiwork. It was good.
Looking around her parents' bedroom, she walked slowly towards the laptop computer that was on stand-by on the desk. She knew Sydney would be here soon. Sometimes they let her to play on the computer. Thinking it would do no harm, Andrea sat down in front of the computer.
----------
When her cell started ringing, Sydney pushed him away a little and answered it. Marshall was on the other end asking her why the hell she was accessing a restricted CIA area-
"I'm not, I was out-" Sydney pushed Sark further away and headed back to upstairs. She asked Marshall to hold on. Opening the door, she saw Andrea on the computer-
"Andrea, what are you doing?" Sydney closed the monitor, yet Andrea was smiling.
"It asked me some stuff, like that game we played yesterday, but I got in! I got it, it wasn't that hard. Game was harder."
Sydney turned back to Sark, who was taken aback as well.
----------
"Andrea, honey, did you play that game before?"
"I don't know. Dad, my real dad, made me play lots of games. I could've played it, I don't know."
Sark and Sydney were sitting side-by-side, looking at the little girl who was sitting on the coffee table with wide eyes. He asked .
"Andrea, that was a very hard game. Did you play any other computer games like that, only much harder?"
Andrea nodded yes, Sydney asked.
"Do you remember those games?"
When she nodded yes again, she explained.
"Those were harder, and I remember them, because it took me days to figure them out. Some of them have combinations, like this game has, but some of them not."
"If we give those games to you, do you think you can enter the play them again?"
"I think so. Dad always said that I was like a magician, that I saw that numbers like a magician."
Smiling, Sydney spoke.
"You are like a magician Andrea. Those games are very hard to play."
Smiling, Andrea said nothing.
