A/N I am sooooo sorry it has taken me this long to update. I have been
really busy. Anyway, I got A LOT of feedback on the last chapter, which I
did NOT expect at ALL, so thank you for that. I personally thought that
chapter SUCKED, but if you guys like it, that's good enough for me. I have
a really good idea for later on in the story, so, please be patient!
Chapter 8 The Car Ride Home
The plane landed in LA at 7:30 p.m. When they got their luggage, Sydney walked over to he father and pulled him aside to talk to him.
"Dad, Dixon knows I'm a double. I need you to call him and explain what's going on," Sydney demanded.
"Sydney, what---" Jack began.
"Dad, I can't explain now. I just need you to do this. Please," she asked him quickly.
"Yes Sydney. I'll talk to him," Jack said confidently.
"Thank you," she said and left.
Sydney walked towards her car in the busy airport parking lot and noticed a small piece of paper taped to the driver's seat window. She reached her car and read the paper.
The warehouse. Friday. Three o clock.
Sydney pulled the paper off the window and crammed it into her pocket. She climbed into her car and closed the door. She looked out her window at the sky. It was dark gray with large dark clouds swirling above her.
Great. It's going to rain. That's all I need right now. She thought sarcastically.
Sure enough, a few lonely raindrops fell on her windshield. They were soon followed by many others. Before she knew it, it was pouring. The crack of lightening filled the sky. Sydney sat listening to the rain drops pounding on the roof of her car. Letting the sounds surround her as she thought. Just as her thoughts began to deepen, she heard a pounding on her window. She was broken out of her reverie and turned to see who it was.
She started the car and rolled down her window to see a completely soaked Will. He smiled at her weakly and she said,
"What are you doing still standing out there? Get in the car before you catch pneumonia!" she joked and rolled up the window. Will made his way around the car rather hurriedly and climbed in the passenger seat. They sat in silence as Sydney pulled out of the parking lot and onto the highway. They were brought to a standstill because of heavy traffic.
"I'm really sorry about your mom, Syd," Will finally broke the silence.
She turned to him. "Oh, no. Don't be sorry. Really, don't worry about it," she dismissed it.
It grew silent again and Sydney said, "I called Francie,"
"Oh, you did? I bet she let you have it," Will laughed, looking strait ahead.
"Not as bad as you might think," she smiled, looking down at the steering wheel. "She was really worried about you," the smile faded from her face.
"What did you tell her happened?" he asked.
"I told her that you were working on an undercover story in Chicago about a voting scandal. You know Francie. Once she heard that it was about politics, she became very uninterested," Will just nodded.
"I also told her that you will be there for a few more days. I'm sure the CIA has a lot to talk to you about," she put the car in park and folded her hands in her lap.
"Will, you have no idea how dangerous this life is," she shook her head.
"Uh, yeah, I think I do," Will said sarcastically.
"No, Will, you don't. You think watching one James Bond movie brings you up to date? Since you had to write that story, your life is know in danger. Hell, your life was in danger before you even started it. SD-6 has more power than you'll ever know," she looked up at him and he met her gaze.
"You now have two choices; recruitment or the Witness Protection Program," Will stared at her blankly.
The traffic began to move and they drove the rest of the way in silence. An hour later they found themselves parked in front of CIA headquarters.
Before Will got out of the car, Sydney said, "Will, I've lost too many people already. Please, just do what you think is right," She watched as he got out of the car and walked into the building, without looking back.
Tears fell silently down her face as she drove off.
A/N Okay, I know it was kinda short, but I am hoping that I will get the chance to update soon. Thank you soooooo much for all of the reviews and keep 'em coming!! ~Kate =)
