Chapter One---Phone Call

The phone rang three times before the woman in the bed heard it. Sydney looked at the clock and saw that it was only three thirty in the morning. Slowly she reached for the phone.

"This had better be good!" She said. When she got no response she said "Hello? Is anyone there?"

"Sydney. You need to get down her right away." Then she heard a dial tone.

"Okay that was odd." She said aloud to herself. "Why did my Dad just call and hang up so suddenly? I wonder what is so important?"

She slowly got out of bed, slipped into a pair of sweat pants and threw a sweatshirt over her head. She went into the kitchen, grabbed a mug and made some instant coffee. Then she grabbed her keys, grabbed her coffee, and left the house.

She got into her car and while the engine was warming up she thought about her fathers phone call. It really was weird, she thought. Then drove to the Joint Task Force Headquarters, parked her car and hurried inside.
