Beware Kendall? Sydney thought as she returned to her desk. Why would I need to beware Kendall? Granted, he's a jerk, but what could he do to warrant suspicion? Sydney shook her head. She knew she shouldn't trust Sark. She knew that he was the enemy. But something made her take Sark's warning seriously. Sark's words, Those who now are your friends, will become enemies, while enemies will become friends, rang through her head. And no matter how much she tried, they wouldn't leave.
"Don't take what he said seriously. He's the enemy, remember?" Vaughn said, concern evident in both his voice and eyes. He obviously would never trust Sark, for any reason. Those who now are your friends will become enemies.
"Don't worry, Vaughn. I know better than to listen to him," Sydney lied, smiling to ease Vaughn's concerns. Enemies will become friends. He seemed to accept that and nodded. Vaughn started to say something else, but Kendall began to yell at him, demanding his presence. Shrugging, Vaughn walked over to Kendall.
Standing next to her desk, Sydney thought for a moment. Then, nodding to herself, she turned and headed toward the holding cells. She had someone to visit.
Within a few minutes, Sydney cleared the security outside the cell to one of the few people, ironically, that she trusted. Her mother.
"Hi mom" She said when she approached the cell. Irina was inside doing her auto circadian meditation. Upon hearing her daughter's voice, she opened her eyes and smiled.
"Hello Sydney."
"I… need some advice.."
"I'm listening."
Sydney took a deep breath. She wasn't sure how to tell her mother. "I… well… I was talking to someone today. Someone that I don't really trust." Sark, she spelled out in morse code. "And he told me something that's been bothering me."
Irina nodded, confirming that she understood her daughter. "What was it that bothered you?"
"Well, he was kind of intense. He kept staring into my eyes, and told me things…" Thoes who are your friends will become enemies, while enemies will become friends, Sydney spelled out as she spoke. "Things that I'd rather not repeat. I… I don't know if I should trust him." Beware Kendall.
Irina nodded slowly. "Perhaps you should, with caution, try to believe what this man says. He might be trying to help you out. With men, you never know."
Sydney smiled at that last comment. So true. "Thanks mom… I believe I'll try that." She said before leaving the area and returning to her desk on the first floor. I should see him… Sydney thought as she approached her desk. She pondered her next course of action when Jack approached.
"Kendall has decided to ship Sark to Camp Harris to be interrogated further. He wants you on the team escorting him up there. You leave tomorrow at 0400 hours. Be here early." Jack said, before returning to wherever it was that he came from.
Kendall wants me to escort Sark to Camp Harris? Why does this make me suspicious? Sydney wondered as she left the building.
