Sneak preview from "Agraciana"...
* * * *
"Are you crazy?" Jackgrabbed her arm, jerking her back harshly to face him. "I know you're angry-I even understand why, dammit-but if you refuse to work with me, Sloane will know you've seen those files. And when that happens," he said in a softer voice, letting go and stepping back, "Your life will be worth less than nothing to him."
"You don't know that," Sydney countered. "And why should you? He's done more to protect my life than you ever have."
Jack recoiled as if she had slapped him. The unmasked shock in his face was enough to make Sydney momentarily sorry that she had gone so far. He lied to me, now he has to accept the consequences. The thought reinforced her wavering resolve and she straightened unconsciously, looking him coolly in the eye.
He took a deep breath. "Sydney--"
"I'm doing this alone." With that, she turned on her heel and left. Jack watched her go, the distant, stalwart man of a few moments ago nowhere to be seen. Long after she had disappeared from sight he stayed there, but she did not come back.

Be sure to read the last story in this trilogy! Okay, now that I've finished sounding like an advertisement, I hope everyone's enjoying my fanfics. The first part of "Agraciana" should be up in a few days. :-) -Ashni
