"Okay explain now, what is happening?" Vaughn demanded, looking at them
both.
"Okay, after my mother's supposed death, became pregnant with me and raised me alone," Amanda explained. Sydney still had many questions she needed answers for.
"Why'd you save us? Aren't you partners with her?" Sydney asked.
"That's what she wants to think. That I could be a clone of her and take over the job as soon as she's gone. I never asked to be a spy." Amanda shrugged, crossing her arms. She still could not believe that she was talking to her sister, finally. She's always wanted a sibling, someone who understood her, "you better call Dad, he's going to be worried about you." Amanda told Sydney, pulling a cell phone out of her pocket and tossing it to Sydney. She muttered a barely audibly thanks as she dialed up the familiar number.
"Bristow." He spoke into his phone.
"Dad, it's Sydney," she said, looking at Amanda, then at Vaughn. She felt incredible joy flow through her body. He was alive, he actually made it.
"Syd! Where have you been? What happened?" he asked frantically.
"Do you have Will?" she asked, she needed to know.
"Yes, I do. He's pretty badly beaten up. Where are you right now? Is Vaughn still with you?" he asked, almost in a frantic voice, Jack had never experienced so much anxiety. Not knowing if his daughter was alive or dead. Sydney looked at Amanda with a questioning look. She put her hand on the phone.
"Where are we?"
"South of Linkuang Station, about 20 minutes I would guess," Amanda told her.
"Near Linkuang Station," She spoke into the phone.
"Okay, get there as soon as possible. We'll be over there in a white van." Jack told them and hung the phone up.
"We better get going then," Sydney told Vaughn and they began walking when Amanda stopped them.
"Wait, take me with you" Amanda pleaded, taking a step forward.
"Why should we trust you?" Vaughn questioned, turning his body towards her.
"Well, I just sort of saved you," she said, "I hate my mother, I want to work for the CIA. Sydney, we can become sisters again." She did have a point, now that Sydney knew she had a sister she wanted to get to know her, but she was having trouble getting along with her father.
"Maybe, I mean . I don't know." Sydney shrugged looking down.
"Please Syd, we can make this work out," Amanda pleaded. Sydney looked up and into her eyes; she had her mother's eyes. She didn't know whether it was good thing or a bad thing.
"Fine, but you know the consequences if you prove us that your not here to help us." Sydney gave up. Maybe having another Spy in the family wouldn't be too bad after all.
"Girl scouts honor, I promise no betraying" Amanda said, holding up her right hand.
"You were in girl scouts?" Sydney asked in disbelief.
"Sure, have to start some where" Amanda giggled as they continued to walk. Vaughn strayed in the back; he needed to be alone with his thoughts. He remembered the water hitting him, smashing his body into the steal door. Nearly crushing every bone in his body. Then Sydney's face, just looking at her beautiful face from behind the glass. The horror, the sadness all in one. Just to think, what if he truly did die? What if he could never say how much she meant to him? He couldn't bear the thought; he needed to tell her his feelings, just not now. This Amanda girl, who was she really? Vaughn had a bad feeling at the bottom of was gut that something was not right, not right at all.
Millions of thoughts were crashing around in Sydney's head also. How could so many things happen tonight? Vaughn nearly dies, Jack saved Will, and Sydney met her sister for the very first time. She felt warmth from Amanda that she was drawn too. She felt a need to be close with her, to know her secrets. She didn't know if she should trust Amanda yet, but she wanted to. She wanted to tell her everything about SD-6, Sloane, Dixon, and all her missions. Her enemies, her fears, everything. Sydney looked back at Vaughn as he held his head low. The actual thought of him dying on a mission sent shivers up Sydney's spine, She couldn't stand the fact he could've died if it wasn't for her mother. Did her mother actually think she would join her, to kill everything she's known and love? This wasn't going to be the last night they met, not a chance.
They finally arrived at the station and saw a white van in the parking lot. The 3 paused for a moment to reassure them the area was clear, and ran towards the Van. The back door quickly was opened, and as soon as they were all in, the door closed. Sydney saw Will, his bruised and beaten face. She couldn't stand the site and started to break down in sobs. "Oh my god, Will!" she gasped, and collapsed into his arms. Will sat there in disbelief; he had Sydney in his arms. He thought for sure that they were going to kill him before he ever saw the light of day again, in other words Sydney. Sydney felt incredible guilt cover her, she felt as if she pulled him into this mess. She was the reason he was beaten half to death. She buried her face into his torn t-shirt, as Will began feeling tears of his own surface.
"Who's this?" Jack questioned, gesturing towards Amanda. He wasen't about to drive off anywhere till he new who this stranger was. Sydney pulled out of Will's grip and moved next to Amanda.
"Dad, I'd like you to meet Amanda," She said, pausing for a moment, "Your daughter." She said in a low voice.
"My what?" he questioned in a whispered, staring at Amanda.
"Hey Dad," Amanda said, feeling tears brim her eyes. She was finally meeting her father, after so long.
"Let me explain. After mom's 'accident' she found that she was pregnet. Not being able to go back to you. She decided to keep the daughter and raise her." Sydney said, giving Amanda a slight push in the back. Amanda looked at her father, breathing in his presence. Suddenly she felt her arms wrap around his neck, breathing in his scent and filing it in the back of her mind. With hesitation he wrapped his arms around her. He didn't know what to make of this unexpected family reunion. He looked over at Sydney as she looked upon this solemnly. He reached over to her and brought her into this hug, this family hug. She wrapped her arms around her dad, she felt as if this was the closest to normalcy as she was going to get. After what seemed like for hours but only moments, they all let go. Tears straying from Jack's eyes, he quickly wiped them away and regained his composure.
"Well, um ." Jack said, searching for words, "I called Devlin and he has plane tickets set up for you all. We're all leaving on the same plane I guess you can just buy your ticket when we get there," he said towards Amanda. He climbed into the driver's seat and began to drive to the airport quietly. Sydney smiled at Amanda then looked back at Will. Blood was still dripping from his head. She reached over and wiped away some of it off.
"I'll never let this happen to you again, Will, I promise." She said, Will lifted his hand and touched her cheek softly. 'She's so beautiful when she cries' Will thought. He wanted to kiss her again, he needed to kiss her again, but he banished the thought. He didn't want to mess up this moment. He took her back into his arms and embraced her, not ever wanting to let go.
Vaughn watched from the side, he felt jealousy creep into his throat. What if Will was feeling the same feelings as he was? Vaughn tried to persuade himself that Will was just Sydney's friend. Sydney loved her friends, no matter what. Did Sydney consider him to be her friend? Vaughn shifted uneasily in his seat as more questions came to mind.
"Syd?" Will said in a hoarse voice, Sydney let him go and looked at him, "When the guards were finished with torturing me and left me alone. I was thinking, and I don't want to stay in hiding forever."
"What are you saying Will?" she asked, in quiet voice.
"I want to join the C.I.A," he told her.
"Okay, after my mother's supposed death, became pregnant with me and raised me alone," Amanda explained. Sydney still had many questions she needed answers for.
"Why'd you save us? Aren't you partners with her?" Sydney asked.
