" Where are we going?" Irina asked as the guards took her in a different direction after her twenty-minute allotted time outdoors. " Are you going to answer me?"
" Here." a guard said opening a door to a room that was dark because of the light was off. Irina cautiously entered the room as the door closed behind her.
" Happy Birthday!" Sydney, Jack, Aurora, and Rhett cried as Irina jumped back flustered and surprise.
They were inside a room that looked like it came right out of Architectural Digest. A room that even had a separate bathroom.
" What is this?"
" Your birthday party." Sydney said grinning.
" How?" Irina asked accepting Sydney's hug. " Where are we?"
" Your room at least for right now. I'm trying to get you out of custody but it's a little hard convincing the CIA director to release one of they're most wanted. I could sleep with him but- "
" I didn't look upon that to fondly and thought I'd try working some of my own magic before selling out my wife." Rhett said going over to Irina and giving her a kiss. " Happy Birthday."
" Thank you. What are you doing here?" Irina asked Jack after giving Aurora a hug.
" Well- I figured since we were being civil and all that –"
" It doesn't matter. Thanks."
" We have gifts and food. Real food." Sydney said pointing to the table in the corner.
" Wow." Irina said looking around at her new accommodations.
" My gift is the furnishing." Aurora said happily.
" Thanks."
They all sat down and ate the catered food, Aurora on Rhett's lap in a chair. Sydney on the bed next to Irina and Jack alone in a corner watching Irina pensively.
" My God is she that dangerous that you have to have these men standing around with machine guns? She can't possible be this dangerous believe me. You should have seen her as a child she was the most boring child ever. I felt like I had a ninety year old in the house instead of a nine year old, she was so serious. I guess I should have seen it coming she always had that evil look in her eye like she was better than everyone else. So I take it back she's an evil witch and there ought to be more guards."
