Vaughn listened intently to Sydney's conversation with Mr. Jared.

~~
"Excuse me sir, but are you Mr. Jared?" Sydney asked innocently.

"Yes, in fact I am." he drawled.

"Oh! It is such an honor to meet you sir! My name is Amelia Jomes, I am a new operative to the Triad organization." Sydney feigned amazement.

"It is a pleasure to meet a beautiful young lady like yourself. And you say you are new to our organization? That is wonderful! I could give you a tour of my mansion right now if you'd like." Jared replied suggestively.

"That would be marvelous!" Sydney urged.

"Right this way then, mi lady." Jared invited her further.

~~

Ten minutes later.

~~

"And this is the master bedroom." Jared spoke smoothly.

The pair stepped inside.

"Oh! It is just gorgeous! Just gorgeous!" Sydney again feigned amazement.

"Would you perhaps, like a drink?" Jared spoke slyly.

"Oh, lets see,...I would love a good brandy right about now, if I could?" Sydney asked shyly.

"Oh course, my dear." Jared granted.

"Might I compliment your choice of perfume for the evening, mi lady?." Jared asked tentatively.

"Oh! Thank you! I just bought it, it is very new to the market. I am flattered a man so grand as yourself would notice it." Sydney said gleefully, "Would you like to see the bottle for yourself?" She continued.

"Of course, that would be just wonderful. I would love to see the maker." He responded.

~~

The last sound I heard, was a bone-chilling ...female... scream.
