Chapter 6

Sydney woke at the sound of her alarm. 'Back to work again, ' she thought, dreading going back so soon. Sydney got out of bed and slipped on a work suit, fixed herself up, grabbed her stuff, and headed for the door. She was about to leave when she heard Francie.

"Hey! You're back!" Francie still sounded sleepy. 

"Hey Francie!" Sydney poked her head into the kitchen, where Francie was shuffling around, trying to get her breakfast together. 

Francie looked up and saw Sydney, dressed and about to leave. "Wait, you're not going to work, right?"

"Umm…Actually, I am." Sydney grinned sheepishly. 

"Syd! You just got back!"

"I'm sorry, but they really need me!"

"Gee, You'd think you were saving the world or something with all the work you do."

"Well, I got to go." 'If only she knew' Sydney thought miserably, "If only she knew."

"Well, bye, honey, I'll see you later, right?" Francie looked back down at her now made breakfast.

"Yeah, Bye."

Sydney walked in to the Credit Dauphine building. 'Wow, I'm actually on time for once' She giggled at the thought. Sydney walked into her office, expecting to be called in for a meeting about a mission. She was wrong. She was called in for a private meeting with Sloane. 'Could it be that Dixon reported me before the CIA got to him?' Sydney hoped she was wrong.

"Hello Sydney. Please sit." Sydney walked in and sat in a chair in front of Sloane's desk.

"I wanted to speak to you. This concerns Emily." When Sydney heard Emily's name, she paid close attention.

"You're the only one that I could trust with this information, because of your love towards Emily. I thought you deserved to know." Sydney was holding her breath, hoping for good news. "The board had decided not to have Emily killed, but then Emily began to recover. There was nothing I could do, they made me kill her."

Sydney raged at his words. 'How could he kill Emily, his wife, that he supposedly love so much!' Sydney was furious. She was about to speak, but Sloane beat her to it.

" I love Emily very much and I cannot stand to kill her, Sydney you must promise me that you will never repeat these words to anyone, but I…" Sloane paused, reconsidering his actions, but continued anyways, " I drugged Emily with a sleeping powder. I sent her somewhere where she can be safe. I cannot tell you where, even though I know that you would never do anything to Jeopardize Emily's safety. I just thought you should know."

"Thank you. I won't tell anyone. I'm glad that Emily's ok." Then, Sidney remembered about Dixon. " Excuse me, but is Dixon here today?"

"Oh, no, he called in sick today." Sydney sighed in relief. 'Good thing too, or I would be dead by now.' Now, Sydney could focus on Emily. Sloane had done a brave thing, to send her away. He really did love her, and Sydney appreciated that.

Sydney was about to walk out of Sloane's office when he stopped her.

"Sydney, you may take the rest of the day off, I understand that you might need some time to sort this all out."

"Thanks." She gave Sloane a sweet smile and left his office.
