Repercussions
"Fancy meeting you here," Kat strolled down the aisle of the bus and sat down next to Sydney.
"What are you doing her?" Syd asked in exasperation. This was one to many coincidences for a month.
"Using the Los Angeles public transportation system. And yourself?"
"My car broke down," Sydney mumbled.
"That sucks," Kat said mildly.
"So does the rest of my life," Syd sighed.
"Aww... poor baby. What's wrong?"
Sydney gave Kat the evil eye.
"Seriously, what's wrong?"
The softer tone Kat used the second time must have had some effect. "I keep seeing them kissing." Who they were, was not a question. "And Lauren wanted me to submit for a transfer, until we got in a car chase when she was at the wheel, and now Sloane could be a double agent." Sydney took a breath. "Now I'm confused."
Kat nodded. "So am I." But you're right. She was out of line. What about a car chase and a double agent?"
"Sloane escaped, and we were driving after him. Lauren's completely lost it. She did some stuff that was highly dangerous. She's a crazy woman."
"Oh, come on, I'm sure it's nothing I haven't done before."
"Yes, but you're field rated. Lauren's not."
"Yeah, that would be important." Sydney mimicked Kat with a sarcastic nod.
"Sloane may be a double agent. It's a classic scenario."
"Explain," Kat deadpanned.
"I was betraying him for two years I worked under him. Now he has the chance to do the same to me."
Kat just shook her head. "But you can't do anything about it. Just let it go." The bus rolled to a stop on a street corner. "I've got to go. This is my stop. Catch some terrorists for me, will ya?"
Sydney rolled her eyes.
"Oh, absolutely."
