Chapter 9
Santos is staring at Jack who is tied to a chair"so you've got me now let all the hostages
go,"Jack says.
Santos looks at him and shakes his head and laughs"that isn't how it works Jack I want
Viktor here as well,"he says.
Jack glares at him"none of these people have ever done anything to you,"he says."This is
etween the three of us.And you know that Viktor Limpera will never come."
Santos looks at him"doesn't he care what happens to his daughter?"he asks.
Jack looks at him and shakes his head"I asked him to come with me but he refused,"he
says."Not everyone loves their daughter as much as I do."
Santos looks away"I do not understand,"he says."How can anyone not care if their
daughter is about to die.But who is this woman that came onboard with you?"
Jack looks away and to the ground"I don't know what you're talking about I came
alone,"he says.
Santos goes over and grabs Jack's chin and makes him look at him"don't lie to me
Jack,"he says."I can see when you're doing it.Who is she a friend,a girlfriend,wife oh
that's right you don't have a wife."
Jack pulls back and glares at the man"her name is Irina Derevko she's an old friend,"
he says.
Santos looks him in the eye"I look you in the eye and she seems a lot more to you
almost as much as your daughter,"he says.He looks to one of his guards"find the
others and bring them here."
The guard nods his head and leaves.
***
You see the others still in the room Sydney is lying on the bed asleep Vaughn is
beside her.The only other person in the room who is awake is Irina."Are you
okay?"he asks.
Irina looks over at him"you must get some rest Mr.Vaughn,"she says.
Vaughn looks at her"I may have anger towards you but I can see how much you love Syd
and Jack,"he says."So why don't you tell him?"
Irina stands up and looks out the door"he knows I hope,"she says.
Vaughn looks over when she turns away from the door he sees the tears running down
her cheeks."He'll be all right,"he says.
Irina sits down in a chair and wraps a blanket around herself"do yourself Mr.Vaughn
don't ever let Sydney go because it will be your biggest mistake,"she says."And please
go to sleep."
He nods and lays his head back down on the pillow and pulls Sydney back against him.
Irina smiles at the scene and she falls asleep.
You see Claire awake watching the two of them she makes sure Irina is asleep and she
sits up and then stands up.She goes to the door and opens it and slips away.
You see her walking down the hallway she goes around a corner and opens a door and she
goes inside.There are some of Santos' men"now you'll leave me out of this?"she asks.
"Yes we'll move in the morning,"the man says."Why do you want to help us?"
Claire looks at him"I want to get out of here alive,"she says."Which doesn't seem to
be going to happen with those lot."
He nods and she leaves the room and slips back into the room but what she doesn't
know is that Sydney was awake when she left the room and she followed her.
****
The next morning Sydney is sitting up against the headboard she looks at the people in
the room and especially at Claire.Vaughn wakes up and looks at her."What's wrong?"he asks.
Sydney looks at him and smiles"ssh,"she says."We have to get everyone up but Claire."
He looks at her strangely but nods his head he slowly gets out of bed and leans down to
Eric."Eric get up,"he says.
Eric's eyes open and looks up at him"help Syd and I to get everyone up but she doesn't
want us to wake Claire I presume she'll explain later,"he says.
Eric nods and they get everyone up they get out of the room without disturbing Claire.
When they were somewhere where they could talk."Why did we leave my sister behind?"
Bridget asks.
Sydney looks around and then back at everyone else"last night she got up and left the
room and met some of Santos' men to make a bargain us for her life,"Sydney says.
Bridget shakes her head"always thinking of herself,"she says."She's not changed one
bit."
Sydney nods her head"but where are we going now?"Will asks.
"We'll get you out of here,"a voice says.
They all turn around and there's a man with greyish hair standing in the shadows
"daddy,"Franchesca says.
"It's about time you got here,"Irina says.
Viktor looks at her and nods"I'm sorry I didn't get here sooner,"he says.
"Where's Jack?"
Sydney glares at him"did something better than you he gave himself in,"she says.
"Sydney Bristow I presume,"Viktor says."His daughter you can see it the same defiance
in the eyes gives it away.Come on we have to get out of here."
They start walking away then you see Santos on the bridge pointing a gun at Jack's
head.He picks up a comm channel."Okay Miss.Bristow wherever you are if you don't want
me to blow your father's brains out you'll come see me and bring your mother along and
perhaps Viktor Limpera."
Sydney looks at Viktor and he shakes his head"I'm going,"she says.
"No,"Viktor says.
She glares at him she starts walking away he grabs her arm she looks down and sees
his hand."Let go of me,"she says."My father is a better man than you so I have to save
him if you can't."
He glares at her Vaughn walks over to her"I'm coming with you,"he says.
"No you can't your leg,"Sydney says.
He shakes his head"I don't care,"he says.
"I'll go with you,"Irina says.
"Okay,"Vaughn says."But becareful."
Sydney nods her head and leans up and kisses him they stayed like that for a few
seconds she pulls back."I love you,"she says.
Vaughn kisses her on the forehead"I love you too,"he says.
Sydney pulls back and walks over to her mother and they start walking away from the
group.Then Irina turns back"if we aren't back in an hour go without us,"she says.
They leave and Viktor leads the others away.
***
You see the rest of the passengers being lead off the boat alot of the CIA agents
are there.Dixon is there"where's Sydney and Irina?"he asks.
"They're still in the ship they went back for Jack and Claire,"Vaughn says.
Dixon gets a look of sadness"the passengers say this ship is set to blow in two
hours,"he says.
They all look back.
Then you see Sydney and Irina get lead up the stairs by some of the guards"ah so
nice of you to join us,"Santos says."Now it's a family affair."
Jack glares at the two of them as they are tied to chairs beside him...
To be continued....
What will happen next?Wait and find out.
