Chapter 22
Sydney walked out of the bathroom, wrapped in a fluffy white robe, her hair in a bun. She sat at the window again. The view was breathtaking. Every time she sat at the window, she would just stare as the waves crashed onto the shore. She heard a soft knock. "Sydney?" Emily's voice came from outside of the room "I'll be right there!" Sydney left her seat after one last look at the ocean and opened the door. "Sydney, dear, dinner's ready, when you dress come on downstairs, ok?" Sydney smiled "Of course, I'll be right there" She closed the door as Emily walked away and pulled out some clothes. She looked at her choice of wardrobe; a white shirt and light blue flared sweatpants, and slipped them on. She left the room and walked down the stairs. She stopped and walked into the kitchen to help Emily. "Here, let me help you with that" she took a large bowl of salad from Emily's hands and carried it to the table. "Thank you, Sydney" she smiled and brought some other things to the table. They sat facing each other and started to eat. Sydney served her self a little of everything and took a bite. "This is delicious Emily, did you make this yourself?" Emily smiled and looked down at her food. "Yes, I did, thank you for the compliment. Tell me, how are things at home, how are your friends?" Sydney looked up "Oh they're fine, and I'm so relieved to be having this vacation, I really needed some time off from work." Sydney and Emily continued chatting as they ate. All of the food disappeared quickly. Emily stood up and started to pick up the dirty dishes. Sydney pushed her hand away and took them herself. "I'll do that Emily" She carried the plates to the kitchen and began to wash them. "Oh I can't let you do that Sydney, you're the guest!" "Nonsense, I happen to like washing the dishes, I find it very relaxing." Emily laughed "Relaxing?" This time Sydney laughed too. Then, the phone rang. Sydney looked up at Emily "Who would be calling?" She looked confused; after all, no one was supposed to know that Emily was here. "Oh, Arvin is the only one who ever calls" It took Sydney a moment to remember that Arvin was Sloane. Emily picked up the phone. "Hello Arvin" There was a pause as Sloane talked "Oh yes, she's here. I'll get here." She put down the phone and beckoned Sydney to come. Sydney turned of the water and went to Emily. "It's Arvin Sydney, he wants to talk to you." "Ok" Sydney picked up the phone as Emily went to finish washing the dishes. "Hello?" "Sydney, I'm afraid your visit with Emily will have to be cut short, I need you to go on an unplanned mission." Sydney sighed. "Looks like my vacation's over' She thought to herself
