Chapter Seven

"My relationship with Vaughn is work and nothing more." Sydney said in a strong voice.

"So you sleep with all your..how should we say, your business partners." Leslie asked with a grin.

"No we met when I came into the CIA offices. Sloane, you know who he is. He runs SD-6. He killed my fiancée because when I found out the truth, I told him. One day I came back to his house and I found him dead in the shower. When I got to the CIA office they told me, I could become a double agent for them. Vaughn became my handler. I have had these feeling foe him for a long time but we never acted on them until we took down SD-6 for the first time. I was going to cook him dinner, one thing led to another, and dinner never got finish. When SD-6 and all the alliances got back together we had to take a relationship into hiding even more then were. I am so used to the response I gave you first that it just comes out. CIA found out about our relationship we would both be fired and now if SD-6 found out he would be killed, hell he already might get killed." She said. When she finished her speech, she looked at Leslie. She had look in her eyes that she knew what it felt like to be in that kind of relationship with someone you love.

"Trust me my dear sister, I know what you mean. Andrew and me can not be open about our relationship. If we were, the people who we work against would use one of us as leverage against the other. It would never come to that I mean Andrew and I know that if we had to he would not come after me, as I would not come after him. It would ruin both of our life and hurt our business to much."

"So you mean that you would let each other died instead of letting the people you work for die."

"Yes, but lease don't make it sound so sick. It is not. I mean we have to do this." Leslie said. "You look tried. I will get you another room. I can not let you and Vaughn be together. I am sorry but that is how it goes. I hope you find you new room a little more.. cozier. Sleep well."

With that, she went out of the tiny room. Sydney could not believe what had just happen. It felt as though her and Leslie had actually connected in some weird way. She sill didn't like her but she didn't hate her either. She was strong and had gone through a lot. I mean she had no child hood. None what so ever. Plus almost being raped by your father most be very hard. Sydney curled into a tight ball and started to dose off. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sark and Leslie were sleeping in their bed that they had shared for the last four years. He had his arm across her stomach. They were spooned together. Her back to his front. When Leslie began to stirred and trash around. Sark was used to this she would have these nightmares once or twice a week.

"Andrew please helps.(Scream) please don't leave me."

She would throw he hand punch and kick. All he could do was try to hold and comfort her with out waking. She would have tears streaming down her face. It would kill him every time she would scream out to him. The Doctor said don't wake her. He hated that he had to watch her suffer but if he did wake her up it could hurt her worse. Finally, she calm down long enough for him to let her go ad get a wash clothe for her face. When he went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror he saw that he had starting of a bruise on his cheek. She must have nailed him good. When she woke in the morning she would see it and say that she was sorry and that maybe, he should sleep in a different bed. She would cry but he would tell her that it isn't her fault and hold her before they went to the office. He hated to see her in pain. Everyone thought he was cold and heartless. Even his own mother. Only Leslie could se the real him. It also worked both ways. People thought she was just some mean, bitch but it wasn't true. She was very fragile at times but he was the only on who saw that side. Her own mother rarely saw that side of her.

When he saw that she was in a deep slumber, he began to wash her small angel looking face. If he could take the pain that, she'd would suffer at night he would gladly. But for now, he would just have to hold her and take her that way. He felt his own silent tear run down his cheek as he washed hers away. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sark POV

I hated the bastard that was in the room down the hall from Sydney's room. Michael Vaughn was his name. Leslie, after last night asked me to move in the spare bedroom that was located in our floor of rooms. I again told her no. I loved and I wasn't about to leave her side because she has nightmares. Then she said if I wouldn't move out of the bedroom, then don't come near me when her when she was having a nightmare. She didn't get what she was asking was hard to compile with.

He walked into the room where Mr. Vaughn was being held. The man was to goody-good for his liking. He had no balls. That was only his opinion of course. Leslie thought he was handsome which just pissed me off more. I know she didn't mean to. I mean we always said that she would be honest with each other. He would have to admit that only reason that he was visiting with Mr. Vaughn was that he didn't want Leslie anywhere near this man. Not because he was dangerous, Leslie could take care of herself, but because he was jealous.

The door slammed with a thud when he entered. God he hated this man and he was sure the feeling was mutual he was sure of that. That just made it all the more fun. "Mr. Vaughn. I hope you slept well." Andrew said in a sarcastic voice.

"%^&# you Sark. Where in the hell is Sydney. I swear if you did anything to her you will wish you were dead." Vaughn voice was cold enough to cut ice.

"Yes Mr. Vaughn you precious Sydney is fine and safe. I would imagine that my Leslie is visiting with her at this moment." It was a blatant lie. Leslie had talked to her yesterday and now was trying to get catch up on the sleep that she had missed last night. But he didn't want to tell the true reason why he was visiting Vaughn instead of herself.
