Chapter 13
"Hello, Sydney."
Immediately, after hearing those words, I grab my gun off the table and swing around to point it at him. I find that he is mirroring me with a gun pointed at me.
"What do you want?" I ask angrily, my voice full of venom.
"Ah, I see we're skipping the pleasantries... what I want, is what I have always wanted and that is to complete and fulfil the teachings of Rambaldi."
"And would those teachings include holding me for two years?"
"You remember? Unfortunate." He says.
"Parts of it," I cannot contain my anger, "You destroyed my life you son of a bitch." I shout. From having Francie killed, a double living in my apartment, Will being stabbed and Vaughn and mine's relationship.
"As I said, Rambaldi prophesied....." I cut him off,
"To leave my life in tatters, and as I understand the Rambaldi documents the CIA have do not prophesies any of what happened, so maybe you are out just solely to destroy my life!"
"They do not have the second most important set of documents, the ones that...."
"Your lying!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Walking towards the front of the building with the woman whom had nearly killed me in the Port of Barcelona, three years, I feel like I should be surrounding her and myself with as many guards as possible. But I also have a lot to thank her for, that near death experience opened my eyes and made me live life- take the risks, force other people to take the risks.
The silence is unbearable and she keeps looking behind her, glancing to where Sydney went. She is making me nervous by just being here, she begins walking slightly behind me, can she make me anymore uncomfortable?
"Agent Weiss?" She says, I stop and turn around and that is when she hits me with a tazzer gun, I immediately fall to the floor as the pain of the electric shock is unbearable. She gives me a couple more shocks before taking my communication headset and smashing on the ground under her foot. I open my eyes to see her run off in the direction that we have just came from.
A moment later, having recovered from some of the pain the tazzer caused me, I try to push myself up, I only make a small way before hearing some shouting and hurried footsteps towards me, it is Vaughn.
"Hey man, are you okay?"
"Irina she..." I say as he pulls me up, "She went back in the direction of where Sydney is... at the end of the hallway..."
The moment I mention Irina's name and Sydney's name, Vaughn's face contorts with anger and then with worry. He grabs me weapon from me,
"Hey, where are going?" I ask.
"I'm going after her..... go get help, I may need it." He says running off in the direction she went.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have moved slightly further into the office, guns still trained on one another.
"Everything must play out as Rambaldi prophesied."
"And is this all playing out as he...."
The door suddenly bursts open and it is my mother, "Sloane!" she shouts and immediately has her gun trained on him. Has she come here to save me? Doubtful.
"Don't be foolish, Irina. I have a gun trained on Sydney, I don't want to her but I will if I have to, it would all be over in a second."
"If you hadn't noticed, Sloane," I say, "There are two guns trained on you...." he interrupts to continue speaking to my mother.
"I was just explaining to Sydney here, how things have to play out exactly to what Rambaldi prophesied but you should already know that as you have studied his work."
"Why are you here?" I ask, all I want to do is get out of here.
"Be quiet, Sydney!" My mother shouts.
Before I can reply, she has begun speaking back to Sloane, "You should also be aware, Arvin, that there is many ways to interpret Rambaldi's texts."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As I look for the office, Weiss told me about, I hear gunshots ring out through the silence of the building. I run towards the shots and I enter the room to see Irina standing over what looks like Sloane, she fires again. I run over to her to take the gun out of her hands.
Dread. It is the only way I can describe the sudden feeling I got when I took the gun from her. I turned around to look at the other side of the room. Sydney on the floor holding her abdomen. I run over to her and so does Irina.
"Sydney?" I kneel down gently pulling her on to my lap.
I look down to where she is holding her abdomen, her hands are covered in blood. I look at her face and she looks like she is fighting to say awake. I put one hand over hands and one on her face, I turn to Irina, "Go get help!!" She nods and runs out the room.
"Sydney? Stay awake, you've got to..."
In a low, whispered tone I hear her say, "Vaughn, it hurts."
"I know, but you've gotta hang in there, until...."
Sydney's eyes begin to close and she doesn't begin to open them. I just feel myself freeze up with fear, "Sydney?"
