interesting): only [B]30% of all New York High School students[/B] who took
the Physics Regents passed. (I didn't take the physics Regents in case you
were wondering.lol). They curved it DOWN 3 points. *question: how do ppl
curve grades down? Er. [/I]
[U]Chapter 9[/U]
Sydney dropped her bags near the front door, and threw her keys onto the kitchen counter. She sighed as she poured herself a glass of water. Life was not good. She had not even reached LA, when Sloane called her on her cell phone, to detail her next mission to her. She wasn't even going to be in LA for 24 hours before she was supposed to leave again. What am I going to tell Francie? Sydney asked herself.
She grabbed a pad and a pen from the counter, next to the phone, and started writing. It was the usual letter. [I] Francie, I'm so sorry.another trip came up. But this time I'm going to Florida, so it won't be as bad.[/I].
Seven o'clock pm flight.Sydney repeated. That gives me.an hour. Great, she thought. I don't have time for anything. She grabbed her keys and walked to the door, her suitcase in hand.
This time, good ol' Sloane was sending her to England to retrieve the same File #47 from the German Embassy over there. According to Sloane, the blueprints of both the German Embassies were the same, so she knew how and where to retrieve it. Too bad I won't have someone there to do my job for me, Sydney half-snickered at the memory of her last mission. Who was she though? There were so many different possibilities.K-Directorate.I bet she's K-Directorate, Sydney thought.

"Agent Vaughn! Kavanah has urgent information for you and Agent Duval!" Joy said loudly, just as Vaughn was stepping out of his office to grab a cup of coffee.
"What? Oh.I'll be there. Just give me a second," Vaughn replied, grabbing a Styrofoam cup from the holder.
--
"Agent Duval, we have just received information that there is another identical File #47. But it's in the German Embassy in England. You two will be going there to obtain that file. And the Embassy in England has the same building and room structure as the one here, so it won't be hard to find."
"When do we leave?" Vaughn asked.
"In two hours. Oh, and Agent Duval? You might meet up with the person who attacked you again, so be prepared," Kavanah warned.
"Oh.great. Thanks," Erin replied.
--
"And this time, whatever you say, I'm not listening to you," Vaughn warned, looking up from the magazine he was reading.
Erin turned to him from the windows. "Shut up."
"I'm serious."
"So am I," Erin rolled her eyes.
"How old are you, if you don't mind my asking," Vaughn replied sarcastically.
"I do mind. Haven't you heard of that saying? Never ask a woman her age?"
"Actually, I've only heard the "Never ask a woman her weight" one before," Vaughn joked.
"Haha, you are so funny!" Erin responded sardonically.
"So, did you bring any backup equipment?"
"Why?"
"In case you get attacked again," Vaughn said slowly.
"Yes I did. Basic equipment though. Plus, aren't you gonna be there to save me?" Erin asked playfully.
Vaughn snickered.
"OK, fine, I brought a gun. Standard. You got one too."
"Yeah, thanks for reminding me. I forgot about that for a moment."
