"Mr. Vaughn?" He recognized the voice on the phone immediately.
"Yes.." He said flatly.
"My daughter has been abducted, but I'm sure you already know that. We need to talk."
"Yes, we do. Maybe you should come back to the CIA and turn yourself in."
"Come to Paris, I will contact you when you arrive." She hung up.
So he followed her instructions. He'd gone to Paris, without the CIA's knowing of course. He only had a few leads on Sydney, and he wasn't going to give up on any of them, just because the CIA deemed them unreliable. His phone rang. He answered.
"There is a car waiting for you outside door 19." The caller hung up. It wasn't Irina's voice, but that didn't matter. He made his way through the maze of the airport, and found door 19. A lime was waiting outside and door, and a soon and he pushed his way through it, the chauffer, opened the back door for him. He quickly entered the car.
"Hello Mr. Vaughn, it is good to see you again." Irina's cold voice came from the opposite end of the limo.
"I wish I could say the same. Why am I here."
"Let me make myself perfectly clear. You're here because I want you to be here, no other reason."
"Alright." Vaughn said quickly.
"You're here because I know that you love my daughter, and I know that she loves you. You're here because Slone has kidnapped her, and hidden her away some place, where nor you or I could find her. You're here, because I need your help."
"What is it you need?"
"I need you to get a message to Sydney's father."
"You want me to deliver a message to Jack?"
"Yes, I would tell him myself, but he needs to hear it coming from you. The only way we are ever going to stop Arvin Slone, or find Sydney is if Jack agrees to work with Slone again. He has already refused Slone's offer of partnership once, but he mustn't do so again. For Sydney's sake he must put aside his hatred for Slone, and become his partner. I am afraid it is the only way."
"That's what you want me to tell Jack?"
"Yes, Michael, but he must believe it is coming from you. He doesn't trust me, but he knows of your love for Sydney, and I believe he will listen to you."
"Fine. Is that all or is there more?"
"No nothing more, just that. Thank you Mr. Vaughn. Your return ticket is waiting at the counter." The door of the limo opened and Vaughn got out.
"Yes.." He said flatly.
