Chapter 23~ Midnight
"What!?!" Sydney couldn't believe Sloane was doing this to her. She was upset but decided against protesting any further.
"I'm sorry Sydney, really, I know that you need this vacation, but this is important," Sloane sounded serious so she decided to pay attention, "Look, we have just received enough information to believe that there is another Rambaldi document hidden in the outskirts of Taipei,"
Sydney froze. She couldn't go back to Taipei, but it looked like she'd have to, "This document is said to hold information on 'The Circumference'. We need you to retrieve it for us. I must warn you, we believe that 'The Man' will also be looking for this document so you must be careful. This is just a brief summary of the mission, you will be receiving a package in the mail containing information about where to go, how to get there, how to complete the mission, your cover, the op tech, and so on. Everything you will need will be in this package"
Sydney was quiet. Her mother might be there. This would be a big risk for her. Sloane's voice broke her train of thought.
"Do you understand Sydney?" Sydney held her breath and answered.
"Yes, I understand"

Sydney inspected the contents of the package in her room. Sloane had included everything, just like he had said he would, even her outfit. It was another typical SD-6 disguise. She pulled out a long sapphire blue dress from the box. So much for the long part, it had a slit all the way up her leg and no back at all. To top it all of, it was strapless, so nothing was even holding it up. She pulled out matching sapphire blue four-inch heels. A long curly haired blond wig and a golden necklace with yet another sapphire hanging from it followed.
She later found out, by reading the mission info, that the sapphire hanging from the necklace was the decoder to get into the safe at the party.
"No wonder it's so huge!" Sydney stared at it in awe. Then it hit her. She would have to call Vaughn. How would she explain? She'd have to do her best.
She picked up the phone and dialed the number she knew by heart. It rang.
"Vaughn here" A sleepy Vaughn was heard on the other end of the phone. It was midnight in LA, but Vaughn hadn't been able to sleep anyways.
"Vaughn, it's me, Sydney"
