Chapter 1 The Talk
"Mom?!"
This can't be happening. What was she supposed to say to this woman? If it wasn't for this terrible woman, there would be no circumference, and Vaughn wouldn't be. the thought made her sick.
"Sydney, I didn't want us to have to meet like this," Irina said.
Tears were streaming down Sydney's face. The sound of her mother's voice was making her cringe. She didn't know how much more of this she could take.
"I don't want to keep you too long, so I'll make this short. What I did was for your protection. I wouldn't have done it if I didn't love you,"
Sydney looked at her feet. She couldn't stand to look at her.
"Sydney, you are my daughter. I would never do anything to hurt you,"
Sydney looked up at this pathetic woman and said, "Get to the point,"
Irina sighed in disappointment and said, "I am sorry for what I put you through. No one deserves that," she finished with a weak attempt at a smile.
"You know what?" Sydney began. "You're right. No one deserves that. No one. Do you have any idea what you have done to my life? You destroyed it, as you did many others. I happened to have a very close friend whose father you killed," Sydney's eyes brimmed with tears.
"I want to show you something," Irina turned and left the room. She quickly returned with a television and a VCR being wheeled on a cart behind her by one of her many guards.
Without saying another word, she pressed play on the VCR and turned the TV on. Sydney watched in horror of what she might see. Then, there was a picture on the screen. It was Sydney and Vaughn running towards a slowly closing door. She saw herself get through and try to hold it open for Vaughn, but she failed and the door closed. The camera was on Vaughn's side of the door. She saw his face when he turned to see the water rushing towards him. Then, the screen went blank from the water hitting the camera. Sydney turned away from the screen. Irina motioned to the guard and he obeyed like a dog and wheeled the cart out of the room.
"Naughty, naughty Sydney," Irina said. Sydney just looked at her.
"Falling in love with your CIA handler is very against the rules, you know," she said, obviously amused.
"Your point is?" Sydney was not in the mood for games.
"Well, it's very clear that you have feelings for this man. I have been observing you two for some time now," she smiled.
Sydney just stared at her. How laong has she been 'observing' them?
"No need to worry though. I have kept all of your information to myself. But, just remember, I am willing to give up your little secret if the opportunity shows itself,"
"Are you blackmailing me?" Sydney asked in disbelief.
"You could say that," Irina was really enjoying this.
"What do you want?" Sydney wanted to get this over with.
"I have a few ideas, but I have a flight to catch in a few hours, so I am unable to discuss that right now. We'll be in touch. But, before I leave," She leaned in until she was eye level with Sydney, "you should know one thing. All of the tragedies that have occurred in you adult life were no one's fault but your own," she quickly straightened and turned on her heel to leave.
Before another thought could so much as cross her mind, a guard came in with a syringe and stabbed it into her upper left arm. He injected the liquid and left. Sydney slipped into a deep sleep.
